Before I do some polish on the design critiques, are there any drawings that have yet to be submitted?

thiels underwater hull, nighthunters finished drawing (non-attached, as now I can't put it in the first post) blackbuck, denodon, and I don't know if jabba is finished?
in case of thiel and nighthunter you can of course already say something about it

jabba most likely as well, as I suppose he is finished (but I am not certain, so I did not add those to the first post)

I'm interested in finishing my design off but I can't get it to feel right so you might as well right me off at this point.

As an interested observer I'd like to express my admiration for all these designs - Shipbucket at its best

A real challenge for Tim when judging them.

Dortmund class is the better looking of all designs in this thread.Nice work Jabba!

This has been an interesting project. Do you go for a vessel suited for open ocean like the GIUK Gap or more restricted waters like the entrance to the Baltic/North Sea. Is the vessel to be a close escort vessel or part of a hunter group. Does its Sensor/weapons fit have to be capable of independant operations or does it have to rely on other assets.
And from the Shipbucket point of view do you scratch build or cut and paste.
All in All alot of fun. Cheers Tim
