Great venue, too.

Akizuki ESC failed, and I hate that boat!

(and she was badly damaged coming home from last sail..............buggar)


Bad luck mate!! I had my USS Seawolf SSN21 all tested and working for our weekend at Naracoorte and the small servo that opens the vent valve to allow it to dive failed within about 5 mins!!

with your destroyer I would locate your electronics on an easily removable board to make things simpler. Those WW2 ships have tiny access areas due to the very small footprint of the upper structures.

Cheers Bruce

PS Hope to see you at Naracoorte next November for 2025 Regatta

Kirishima is beautiful, and you have appropriately posted on the 81st anniversaries of the 1st and 2nd Naval Battles of Guadalcanal. Great video.

Shame about Akizuki.

and the move interstate
yamato and Kirishima arrived safely!
Akizuki was smashed by the removalist-this way up, fragile meant nothing to the illiterate
moving that box
took 6 weeks to fix her

It's known as a distractive camouflage pattern, where the time you spend trying to figure out what it says increases the chances of your detection. One Fall afternoon I was walking down the Bund by the Huang Po (River) in Shanghai and the Goodyear Blimp comes flying up the river with the Goodyear prominent on the Starboard side. On it's return the port side had an electronic billboard with a message in Chinese: apparently translated as "Death to the Capitalist Running Dogs". Celebrating a big Expo, 2010 I think.

and Tim has delivered for me the next project, HIEI, the hull with which i can use as the template for the trolley
There was one day in 42 where Yamato, Kirishima, Hiei and Akitsuki were at anchor at Truk, this is the plan, to recreate that day
