• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Ship spotters ahoy

Ell-Ess-Tea.... AKA Large Slow Target, flat out maybe 12 knots. These hulls were also used as a base for a number of useful auxillery vessels such as repair ships to accompany the invasion fleets. Some still soldiered on during Vietnam! Surprisingly the time and materials to build these simple appearing ships were greater than the much larger Victory Ships. Much of WWII grand strategy revolved around what Chuchill called (something named LST?). Availability of landing craft was so critical many major fleet units were delayed or canceled.

Then there was CVE, Carrier, heavier than air, Escort. Also combustible, vulnerable, expendable. Not the most glamorous duty, but there when needed.

Good day, Jagl04 and gentlemen

This is a masterpiece from Spain, Many times I've been on her and spent 2-3 nights on her during the Royal Thai Navy's exercise and wishing to see her in FSX. Me and many more people in Thai FSX community would be glad and proud the most :jump:
