Does the T 2 live under a glass whilst you are nit working ion it?

An interesting little color film about the T2 post-construction trials, which I had missed.

Pascal,

Quite an interesting short film on the T-2's built by Marinship. Thanks for posting the link. One detail I picked up was that the tanker had a wooden wheel. Many of the USN warships of that period had a wood rimmed wheel - the inside a flat steel disc. This was the case for FLETCHER Class DDs as well as many of the larger warships (Cruisers, Battleships).

Yes, interesting clip! Yes, the pilot house wheel was of the civilian wooden spoked type and the one on the flying bridge steel spoked like the one's on the Woban upper deck.

Not having a complete sampling, but generally warships tended to have the steel disc wheels and maritime or civilian yard constructed seem to differ. What I wonder is if the civilian built Escort Carriers had spoked or disc wheels?

Always something new.

That was quite a workout for the helmsman ! !!

I love it when ships are going along riding light--
the propellor-on-the-surface thrash always looks amazing !

superb job!

I don't want to hjack Icemans thread...
but here goes !


so in brief--yes--its a' turret ship '--narrower on deck than at waterline...
the plan was that as Suez and panama canal charges were based on
max beam AT DECK-- they could get away with greater payloads, cheaper charges and a lower metacentric height pro rata --- a great many ships of this type were built- many in the UK -mainly by Droxford and sons
