HMCS Bras DOr

#1 Post by paul_541 »

Hi guys.

I am presenting to you the hydrofoil HMCS Bras D'Or that makes the record of being the fastest warship of its time in 1969. The ship is currently preserved in a display outside at the Maritime Museum in l'Islet-Sur-Mer, province of Quebec, Canada.

4 views made as she appeared at the end of testing/service life in the RCN and I didn't find the coat of arms in KimWerner's work. I will made that later.

Feel free to comment.

Paul

I concur with the comments above. It's a great design and beautifully drawn.

Excellent drawing! I have read about the Bras DOr, but I didn't found any info about the possible production version armament. Does anyone knows something?

Here is the projected in service version:

Probably equipped with 2 x 3 torpedoes tubes or drop mines. As shown here a 76 mm (3 in) gun and possibly harpoon containers. But it will be never armed with any.
