RE: large scale war ships
Umi,
It is bulit from the early Fletcher class plans. Two stacks, same gun configuration you describe. The plans show the torp launcher on the mid deck amidships. WIll post some pics sometime in the future, as I am really busy right now trying to finish the turbine F-15. I also need to have a new piece of Plexiglass cut for my deck since it has not been permenatly attached yet, and I want to neaten it up a bit.
It is about 92 inches long, you ar correct in your measurement. It is a big machine and sits up quite nicely on the water in the initial sea trials.
