CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent

[sailor82]

Here is the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent in her original configuration prior to her extensive and costly modernization in 1988.
When she began service in the spring of 1968, she was considered the most powerful conventionally powered ice breaker afloat.

Particulars:
LOA: 110m
Beam: 24m
Displacement: 13,300 tons
Cruising Speed: 13 knots
Power: 3 turbo-electric motors developing 24,000 SHP



The electric-hydraulic steering gear, with emergency power steering, permits steering from the crows nest and the wheelhouse top, as well as from the wheelhouse itself. Heeling tanks are fitted, also flume-type passive roll stabilization system to reduce motion in rough seas.

Accommodation is provided for a crew of 122 and for Coast Guard College cadets on training cruises. There is also a hospital for fifteen men, dry and refrigerated cargo space and laboratory facilities for oceanography and hydrography. Two helicopters can be carried.

nice work.
my only comment is that the light shade of the superstructure and funnel appears to be pure (background colour) white, which I would recommend to be just a tad darker for the sake of easy recolouring.

in addition: good to see you back

[sailor82]

Thanks!

I agree, I'm going to have to 'bump' all shades of white one shade darker.
