The Federal Monarchy Of Tol Galen

[bezobrazov]

Sebu: If you're referring to the complex stabilizer configuration, it's the real Type82's, not something Blackbuck has conceived himself. I know, since I was the one bringing that issue up when Hood presented the drawing the first time!

Btw, Blackbuck; very nice iterations, similar to my Aquitanian versions of the French Suffren-class!

[Blackbuck]

Sebu. It's all to do with their high metacentric height. The Counties from which Bristol's hull is derived shared the problem.

Impressive work.

Interesting and nicely done destroyer!

Ok, thanks for information.

[Hood]

Impressive if somewhat naked looking, for the first time I've realised just how big the T82 was!

[Blackbuck]

Bristol really was and sort of still is a brute. Not much of a looker though!

The inevitable Rothesay and Leander spam is about to start or at least be going on over Christmas.
* Based upon a real proposal for a stretched broad-beam Leander with increased crew accommodation (and I imagine more bunker capacity). Four tranches spread over the best part of a decade for 36 ships.
* The last ones would get Mk.22s for the then strategy of Tartar/SM-1 spam...
* Y.100 > Y.130 > Y.160 as OTL Leanders. Limbo is supplanted by SVTTs as early as possible
* Sea Falcon (AIM/RIM-26) supplants Seacat until the advent of Sea Sparrow
* GCM-AO3-1 (-3 standing in for it for now)

The end result is somewhat of an amalgam of Van Speijk River and Leander...



More to come soon.

Mmmm, I love Leander Spam, preferably with fried eggs!

[JSB]

Take whatever you need. I'm quite happy to have a more powerful Ireland flanking me
