Rookie question...

When purchasing plans, what are the patterns for the hull frames labeled as?

I'm referring to this (from the HMS Iron Duke thread).

I'm guessing either they're called 'hull section' or 'general arrangement/ fore and aft view.'

Which is correct?

The slightly confused,

i've heard both use. or just rib layout, ribs, hull sections, etc.

Frames..

The "Ribs" that are perpendicular to the keel in a ship are referred to as Frames.

I do recall that from NAVEDTRA-14325

Unfortunetly, Floating Drydock lists the various views that their plans display as follows:
A-MAIN DECK
G-FLIGHT DECK
N-INNER BOTTOM
B-OUTBOARD PROFILE
H-HANGER DECK
O-HOLD
C-BRIDGES
J-INBOARD PROFILE
P-DATA
D-SUPERSTRUCTURE DECK
K-1ST PLATFORM
Q-MISC. INTERIOR DECKS
E-PLATFORMS
L-2ND PLATFORM
R-MISC. EXTERIOR DECKS
F-HULL SECTION
M-3RD DECK
PV-PLAN VIEW(OVERHEAD)
G/A-GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
F&A-FORE AND AFT VIEWS

I'm not sure which of those catergories they place frame diagrams under (and at 20-35 bucks a pop, I'm not going to guess

). I have a feeling they're under either G/A or F&A, but I'm not sure.

TWoyma,

you could always email floating drydock with ARH's pics you posted here. Ask them what plans set they have includes those, and there you go!

Don't use common sense with me

E-mail sent.

HI, It would be handy if we knew what ship you would like to build, I could look at Floating drydock and give you some idea what you needed.

In particular, what I'm looking to build is a FRAM'd USS Meredith (DD-980). So far I've got the plans for USS Johnston (DD-821) (FD item #G-DD821), which includes plans for the (A) main deck, (B) outboard profile, (C) bridge, (D) superstructure, (E) platforms, (J) inboard profile, and (P) data. No frames, though.
