Aft port crane I'm guessing think I saw a pic that might have that somewhere on flickrKrakatoa wrote:That is excellent work Rodondo.
Only one small comment, HMAS Norman, on the flip side one of the boats should be a motor boat. With the later photos I saw, there was two of each, one of each on each side.
I have not found my RAN/RNZN navy books yet (from last weeks house move) so I can't put up a photo for you.

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Re: UK JKN Class Destroyers
I have the Ross Gillett RAN/RNZN 1914-45 book somewhere, as soon as I find it, (if you don't already have it?) I will post the photos from there with the profiles in the reference section or by PM.
Re: UK JKN Class Destroyers
What superb work on the Aussie Ns.
Re: UK JKN Class Destroyers
Yes. The tall outlet in your picture of HMAS Nizam is the galley funnel. Not only does it exit out of the top of the funnel, it is inside the main funnel casing.Rodondo said I'm assuming the Galley funnel was the long one going around the Starboard side of the funnel which on the N' exited out the top of the Funnel with other outlets as shown in this pic of HMAS Nizam?
Early Js of the JKN class ships had the galley funnel outside the main funnel casing on the starboard side and up the outside of the main funnel at its rear. That was changed at the behest of the DNC, Sir Stanley Goodall. He strongly disliked the look of it, and may have had other reasons.
See my earlier post to Krakatoa Feb 10, 9.38pm. He has removed the internal galley funnel exit from his original drawing, which now (almost) correctly shows Javelin in her original state. 'Almost' because the external galley funnel was straight and did not bend back at the top.
pm me your e-mail address if you want photos but I'm confident you won't find a starboard view of an N with an external galley funnel.

Updated the crest (COA) to the real one, thanks to Kim for his help. (any mistakes are mine)

Re: UK JKN Class Destroyers
Funnel's adjusted as per Smurf's great insight, still trying to find a good pic of the motorboat on the port side, so still a WIP (Yet to do the 1945 RN service versions due to uncertainty over the colour)

Re: UK JKN Class Destroyers
Don't forget that Napier being a Leader has the larger aft accommodation as per that scan I sent you.

Ah, indeed Krakatoa, I'll edit that in
