First feet wet test.

Capt Podge · « **Reply #466 on:** June 10, 2021, 05:05:48 pm »

She's a beauty and sits lovely in the water - fantastic job you've done on her Dave

Ray

T888 · « **Reply #467 on:** June 10, 2021, 07:36:44 pm »

Thanks Ray I’m pleased with how she turned out.

However the ballast test showed I needed to add 400g port side and 500g starboard side, which also trimmed her to the correct water line and corrected a list.

Once the ballast was added she preformed well. So once I’ve completed all the outstanding work to finish her, I’ll post a Video of her sailing.

derekwarner · « **Reply #468 on:** June 10, 2021, 09:50:07 pm »

Yes, she did look a little light ship

[or very clear water], however she looks superb

....looking forward to the video.....

I didn't realise the Lookouts rated an armchair, thought there was only 1 on the Bridge

Hi Derek,

Thanks

The chairs on the wings are for the “CO or XO "………….Rank has its privileges

derekwarner · « **Reply #470 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:25:58 am »

A bit off thread Dave

....but is that not the Admiral Kutnetsov [Russian Aircraft Carrier] that the CO & XO are parallel shadowing from afar?

Derek

T888 · « **Reply #471 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:41:23 am »

Derek,
It’s a photo published by the USN and then later deleted of the USS Mustin following the Chinese carrier Liaoning

derekwarner · « **Reply #472 on:** June 11, 2021, 11:32:26 am »

Dave....it is really an amazing set of photographs you have of these DDG's and in Operational conditions

The Carriers profile is unmistakable.......

........this now Chinese carrier was born as a Kuznetsov

The Wiki people confirm the Liaoning was originally laid down in 1985 for the Soviet Navy as the Kuznetsov-class ......

Derek

T888 · « **Reply #473 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:01:52 pm »

Derek, yes I did know it was ex Russian navy, but the photo was of her in Chinese service with USN doing the watching brief

Yes I do, as I need a good selection of photos, due to the plan I have is not lacking detailed and has a lot of items missing. So I just use the plan for making the superstructure and general layout. All the detailing is based on actual (2020) pictures of the ship I have and others in her class that are at the same stage of life refits.
