just curious and sorry to nitpick here especially from a newby but on your brentwood class does the c turret's gun crew have enough space to operate(they probably do and im completely wrong), can u put death charge throwers( at least i believe thats what they are) not on the stern and firing over guns and superstructure, and on some of your other destroyers would it make more sense to put the torpedo tubes on the centerline so there is more room to handle them
im probably completley wrong for all of these though

The DCT nearly midships is pretty much the same location as used on several RN destroyers of the 30's (the B class springs to mind as one of them), so I was guessing that it would probably work on mine as well. As far as room on gun #3, it would probably be not as comfortable as on #1, 2 or 4, but I believe it is workable. The offset TT were actually quite common during the 30's, the USN Mahan class, for instance, had 12 tubes in a 3 x 4 configuration, and the Gridley class had 16 in a 4 x 4.

ahhhh ok i should have researched more, than i had just never seen it before
my bad
great job again though been a keen watcher of your drawings for a while

What the heck, lets jump on this bandwagon......

Yet another try at a Battleship from my navy's history, this time the King Robert Class from 1920.


Very heavily influenced by the USN Colorado class, this has 8 x 16"/45 (4 x 2); 10 x 6" (10 x 1); 4 x 3"HA (4 x 1). This is the "as built" version. I'm considering doing a 2nd version showing early 30's rebuilds on them. We'll see how that goes.

One of your best ships so far...though the aft spotting tower is a bit overkill in its engineering.

ok, I believe I have the missed bits un-missed now.

I guess you could say our sailors like "sturdy". And thanks for the vote of confidence, I appreciate it.

Lovely classical design.
