Thanks, Jon! Those measurements will work!

Hi David, no replacements, just checking some measurements of a kit I no longer have in hand.

Pascal:

Thank you for the update! She is looking very good indeed, except like Bismarck, being fated to forever steam in circles. The boxes on the side of the hull are for visitor access?

The boxes on the starboard side are part of the mooring system that was used during her time at San Jacinto. According to one of the videos that the curator crew has been putting out they will be again used for that purpose once she moves to a permanent berth. Similar to what you see with the USS Kidd.

Bruce: Thank you for the explanation! Some museum ships such as U505 have such side entries for public access!

It will be refloated shortly according to this video, which shows that the living works have been completed. The front extension of the dock has been removed. The dock has been cleaned in preparation for immersion.

They must be in a hurry to free up the dock, it's expensive, the rest can be done on the quayside. Including restauration of the wood deck.

The battleship Texas BB-35 was refloated yesterday in Galveston after several months of extensive restoration work.
