Damn; those are pretty. Is 1/100 scale a thing? One of the standard R/C ship scales is 1/96, which is the scale for all my cold-war-era R/C subs
Also, I wonder how many of those they sell.

For such a ship… aren't there very few lifeboats…? Armand |

For such a ship… aren't there very few lifeboats…? Warships of that era didn't generally carry lifeboats, but rather carley rafts or equivalent. |

Poor crew…. they know in advance they would died if the ship sunk…. Armand |

Poor crew…. they know in advance they would died if the ship sunk…. Actually, for a warship subject to combat damage, carley rafts would have been better than lifeboats. Reason is that carley rafts were resistant to damage, and merely needed to be cut loose before the ship sank, whereas lifeboats (in order to float) needed to both survive fragmentation damage, and needed to be carefully lowered right-side-up from a non-listing ship. So that even though an intact lifeboat was better than a carley raft, a carley raft was better than a capsized lifeboat with splinter damage. link |
