He looks powerful, in black. Very nice ship.
Yah not bad.
*slaps forehead*... Looks back at my 204T Diesel Electric TB with the ability to as Guinness showed unbolt and lift off the Torpedo Tubes. Use the dock crain lower some Mine rails onto the Deck and Viola your done less then a week to refit.
Yes I really really really like this Ship... In fact I have 20 of them In Service and Intend to build about a 100 more...
Charles
Yeah I figure the tubes can be swapped for mines in a couple of hours by a tender. With some drill a whole division of 10 ought to be doable in a good workday.
Also maybe 1 in 5 might carry mines most of the time anyway, to provide a little cover while the unit makes it's getaway.
You dont need a drill... the Bolt holes for the Mine Laying Gear or Mine Sweeping Gear are built directly into the boat already.....
Charles
Drill as in repeated practice. All the necessary fixtures and structure would be in place already, yes.
Nice 200t CTB.
Useful for coastal patrol & powerful with 2TT.
