Have noticed a few.questions about The Northern Sun,my dad was a stoker on her between Nov 40 &March 41..I have a signed hurt award dated the 9th Feb 41by Lt Andrews RNR so would presume he was in charge at that time,hope this helps to clarify ....

Just a question for whoever knows:
Would a German whaling ship armed for war duties by the Kriegsmarine fall under the banner of Kriegsmarine Fischkutter, or something else?

Hi there, I'm building HMS Ensay from an Interallied Isle class trawler & would like some help with the colours. Here is a photo from the excellent Navyphotos site. There is a profile in one of the Raven camoflage books but it is only 2 colour, 507a & c, so may represent her after a repaint. thanks Gordon

According to Seek and Strike - Sonar, anti-submarine warfare and the Royal Navy 1914-1954 by Willem Hackmann:
"...The asdic set that emerged from World War I was relatively simple. The 15" non-resonant single-ply quartz-steel transducer was activated by a valve transmitter similar to the type used in wireless telegraphy, trained manually, and housed in a retracting cylindrical canvas-covered dome placed off centre in order to avoid cutting the keel. The pulse was sent by means of a Morse-type send/receive key. The operating voltage was probably in the range of 6,000 to 10,000 volts DC and the transducer frequency between 20 and 50 KHz. This set was first installed in the trials ship HMT Ebro II in October 1918, and was probably assigned the first sonar type number, Type 111, soon after the war although this is nowhere explicitly stated. The first set to be mentioned in official documents is Type 112, probably more or less identical but standardised for ship-fitting."
Sonar Type 122 (1927-1933) is listed as having been fitted in trawlers and drifters and is described as: "First small craft set developed for trawlers with no electricity supply. Idea under test (HMT Blackwater) since 1927. Resonant circuit transmitter powered by steam turbo-generator-alternator. Streamlined portable (detachable) dome. Not many vessels fitted. Frequency range 14-22 KHz (new attack set/destroyer frequency range). Fitted: Prototype in HMT Blackwater of 1st A/S Flotilla, and ten sets for Trawler Reserve (1933) installed in drifters (1940)."

Modeling facts: If you're going to build the steam trawler HMS Le Tiger, consider this curiosity: in some period of WW2, not so clear to me, it was part of a fleet know as White Elephants due to his paint white. Another general doubts I've been reading about was if had armed trawlers ever been fitted with ASDIC, the answer is yes, many of these vessels were for A/S duties, and some good source for this information and examples is the book Grimsby's Fighting Fleet ISBN 0 907033 96 2. Not exclusively for use onboard destroyers or corvettes, do not take a weird impression if you find plans for a trawler that shows some asdic. Read here about "Le Tiger":http://www.harry-tates.org.uk/veteranstales28.htm
HMS Le Tiger (FY 243) ASW Trawler Navy The Royal Navy Type ASW Trawler Class Pennant FY 243 Built by Cochrane & Sons Shipbuilders Ltd. (Selby, U.K.) Ordered Laid down Launched 27 Feb 1937 Commissioned Dec 1939 End service Loss position History Completed in May 1937. Taken over by the Admiralty in December 1939. Displacement: 516 tons. Armament: 1 4" gun. Lent to the United States Navy in March 1942, returned in October 1942. Sold in October 1945 to the Hull Ice Co. Renamed Regal in July 1947. Renamed Othello in September 1948. Scrapped at Ghent, Belgium mid-1963.

Does anyone know a source of drawings for the large anti-submarine trawlers with names beginning with "Northern" eg Northern Gem, Northern Pride, Northern Foam? I believe they were built in Germany in the late 1930s for Mac Line trawlers of Fleetwood and then sold to Northern Trawlers of Grimsby. They had a distinguished record as ocean escorts and rescue ships and should make an interesting model. Attachment:

Timmy You are probably right, though I must admit I'm not that bothered about it, the photos were non too impressive.
Rick I hadn't looked through your link properly before, some nice plans there, thanks for posting that up.
Anyone have plans or drawings for the 'football team' class, not sure what they were called but named after English football teams, Mr Allen knows what I mean with his Stoke City.

Mike, sometimes when HLJ or other stores list things as "Discontinued", they merely mean that the first run has stopped. Often times I see them relisted as "Re-release" a few months down the road. This probably happens with other manufacturers as well, but they don't report the production pauses as often.
