HMS Newcastle & SRBOC?
« on: July 16, 2019, 03:18:28 pm »
Hi, does anyone know if HMS Newcastle, circa 2002, would have been fitted with SRBOC and if so, where on the ship these would these have been positioned?
Thanks in anticipation.

I believe they were fitted just in front of the aft 909 Radar Dome on top of the hanger.  Attached are a couple of images from the Atlantic Models kit instructions showing the location.  RBOC launcher are parts 31.

Ah! Thanks very much for this, I think I can just make them out in the position you say on my shot of Newcastle leaving port circa 2002. And yes, they appear to be in the position you mention!

The only pics I could find were from 1988 but clearly show RBOC at the location discussed.  I've attached pics
