Re: Gato/Balao/Tench class submarines

Hi everyone, In my lurking around the site, in the "real life design section", specifically in the chilean section, there happens to be a Balao class "Simpson-1983", which must sure be from some sort of alternative universe, as by April 1982, the chilean navy had disposed of all Balao class ...

Re: Today's picture from the Web!

Francly I don`t know where is the political message in ships ramming each other out, over a conservationism issue. It's insulting to me that you would post this after I politely asked you to refrain from discussing it. You might find it insultating, IF what you say was right. For facts, as anyone ...

Re: Today's picture from the Web!

Francly I don`t know where is the political message in ships ramming each other out, over a conservationism issue. (If there is a ban, it would be for persistence on a closed topic. Not for ideologies, in which case I have my mind perfectly made up in what I want to believe, but francly I don`t ...

Re: Today's picture from the Web!

Not precisely a picture, but a video. Take a look at this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MN04JcgHTOE :shock: . . . (yes, yes, I know. It's about "you know who" with the modified jolly rogers flag. But since the other topic related to the issue, I started, got locked, I had ...

Whale wars took place in last hours in Antarctic waters

In the last 9 hours Sea Shepherd ships have succesfully avoided the Nishim Maru to refuel in Antarctic waters from a South Korean tanker, although the factory ship rammed their ships many times, including the tanker in its attempts against the Sea Shepherd ships causing lots of damage in all the ...

On the contrary, as it is AU, they work perfectly fine.
If only, they were in "Real life", you would be right.

Re: Republic of Venezuela

Norwegian Navy will never let any country build the same frigate as Norway. for Norway it will be the same as declaring war... on them. Norway would also never sell something that advance ship to a country as Columbia. The only problem that this is AU, so for whatever it means, maybe Norway doesn`t ...

Re: Type 42 sinking

I think that the only connection here, is that the brittish built one, wasn`t subject to all the stirrups and anti-gobernment campaigns that existed in Argentina (against the military coup) at the time of its construction, and as he (Hercules) was being built, he didn`t have to suffer nor go through ...

Re: Axantha Yacht

I think that your drawing is ok, it is very advanced to its final layout, but more work is required in trying to get some of those small little details right. At the JFA yachts site, there is a perfect side view, although not in shipbucket style (part of your homework here), where you can see how ...
