Sweet, I'm looking forward to reading the results!

Is there going to be one overall winner, or different categories? e.g. Overall winner, best artistry, most innovative design, best value for money, original idea etc.

I'm not sure, but I'm going to do a write up.

Looks like a cross between Garcia and O'Perry.Good design though.

This design is a bit confusing
You have the Mack structure associated with a steam power plant and the exhaust section associated with the steam turbine power plant of the OHP class frigates
What type of power plant/plants are you using?
