a battleship

Hi,

One interesting thing about it is that at first glance its looks a little similar to some of the small coastal bettleships that some countries with smaller navies built, like the Swedish Sverige, the Finnish Vainamoinen, and the Thai Thonburi.

As such maybe you could call it Coastal Battleship #1, and give it a name of a Territory instead of a State (if you want to go with a USN theme) or maybe HMS Goodenough (named for Admiral Sir William Goodenough, who I think commanded the 2nd Light Cruiser Squadron at Jutland) ifyou want to go for an RN theme.

Besides , You know don't you ? ( if you've read my threads ) That's the way I started modeling ships .Good Job !   T.B.

TB's idea sounds better than anything I could come up with.

I enjoy going off the ranch every once in a while and just add sapre parts to replace missing or come up with something new.

Nice job McHale.
