Thanks for these pics, Bob. Methinks these could advise my building 'to scale' models for my 'Mighty Armadas' navies. So far, I have scratchbuilt 4 'Narvik Class' destroyers to go with the 'Bismarck-like' 'Leviathan Class' of the Kiivar Navy, and the Ra'esharn have only the one 'submarine hunter' type by way of light craft.
ReplyDeleteI guess the Saabian navy will have to add a couple of some USN type. Very much on the back-burner, this project. The Narvik Class I built a few years ago...

Archduke Piccolo (Ion),
DeleteCheers! I am very pleased that these were of use to you ... and I have just acquired another heavy cruiser and eight destroyers(!) to add to my Imperial Japanese Navy collection. I also hope to acquire another battleship (the Nagato), which will give me a 'fleet' of three battleships, three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and thirteen destroyers. All I need now is a couple of aircraft carrier!
All the best,
Bob
