I don't think they would fit on the foc'sle and they look out of place on the stern, being such large mounts and all.
Sorry, that was my fault, meant to say BOFFIN rather than BUSTER. Apologies.

I wonder what she would have looked like through the ages, after her refits and up grades...

May one enquire if there are any plans afoot to publish modernisation plans over the years after the war please? During Korea for example, or the Falkands (if she were to be taken out of mothballs that is) :?:
Thank you sir! Currently I have no plans to work on this any further; Though Blackbuck is planning on doing a missile conversion at some point I believe.

One last update, I managed to fit it into the smaller template as suggested by Colo.

Your stern stern shading makes it look like it is pointed rather than curved at the end.

Also FYI your profile picture is annoyingly distracting and that is not a compliment.

Hope you like the new avatar.

Also the stern is U shaped with flat sides, the stern doesn't narrow steeply enough to warrant shading.

*Edit*

Strictly following the 45 degree rule. Top view only shows down to the waterline.

Oh right, I think that’s a tronsom stern, my apologies. Many thanks for changing your profile pic :P
