Seen off the Brit coast

Careful Capn Organ Looks like we may have a new Pirate plundering the high seas, I do hope that is misses Sully and not the cabin boy :isadizzy:


Looks Great Sully Can't wait to run her around, The Excellent also :icon_eek:
 
PSULLYKEYS a bit confused here:isadizzy::isadizzy: the acronym "HMT" what does it stand for :confused: {Troop Transport, Rescue Tug} Please:jump:

Looking at her I'd go with His Majesty's Trawler. These Armed vessels were a staple of British Coastal Forces in Home Waters during both World wars.
 
Herring and Mullet Trawler? The small ships always had colorful personalities!

Cheers: T.
 
Hewman gets the virtual beer!:guinness: HMT = His Magesty's Trawler (too small to be considered a ship!) Although I liked Fligers and Skipsans guesses!

The ship was built in 1916, served both wars, and was patterned from 2 1930's photographs. I've read that trawlers were changed in 1940, because A/C posed as much a threat as enemy vessels. The mizzen mast was removed, AA guns added, and shield protection for the ancient fore gun was added.

I'm researching a 1940s one now.

Tango: FSDS. Gmax chewed me up and spit me out. However, the experience helped me learn FSDS along with a detailed and informative help section. Collin was indespensible helping me figure out how to shape the hull, as well as advising some pitfalls to avoid. :applause: (fell into a few anyway!)

Now trying to get into the multires.:isadizzy:

Dirt & GTB: The wife gets seasick - I thought I'd put an officer up there with a crewman in his oilskins. That foredeck gun just looked too naked - got carried away. All I ask is, don't get too close, the figures are barely passible at the range shown, but work on a strafing attack at 300MPH!

Methinks not too many will be piloting her, just mostly using her for target practice.:pop4:
 
Ah Manly-men bounding over the main with there 12 pounder's, twin barreled mg's all primed, cutlass waving in the gall-force winds stocking the "Hated Hun!" :guinness:

Had a look-about here some of what is about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_trawler have a rummage around ton's of info there.
http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/naval_trawlers.htm this is a good picture gallery for all class's of Naval Trawlers. Hope this helps it did me and enlighten me a lot.

"Manly-men" was from a bit with John Blotchy & Johny Carson, or was it Mel Brooke's? It was funny:jump:

The Rescue Tug came to me from the move sometime this past winter. Can't remember the title or how played in it.

Thank you for the education on Trawlers Brave bunch of Lads one and all. :ernae::ernae::ernae:

PSULLYKEYS when will she be coming down the slipway and into the fleet for duty :wiggle: Ah tidbit-bet or photo of the work in progress would be wondebar ya :jump:

Sorry Skip, lost the harddrive a few weeks back, not the archives, got FSDS almost working and now have to climb back in to learn multires, otherwise she will be worthless to the cfs2ers.

Real life work has gotten in the way a few times also. I know - excuses! so I'd better get with the program!:kilroy:
 
Thank you for the up date :jump: Take care of the real-world stuff and everything else will work it's self out in the end :icon_eek:

Sorry to hear about your computer problem's not good :isadizzy:

Good luck
