Notes

My first ship replica! Turned out much better than I expected
Working depth charges
All guns aimed by one camera, allowing for full broadside attacks, and it uses complex funky trees so that you don't blow yourself up
Torpedoes have a habit of just not going the direction they are supposed to
Dropping depth charges in shallow water can damage your ship
Not 1:1 scale, would need to be 3x bigger
Working life boat deployers
No hidden propulsion systems, uses the props for propulsion without any jet engines and Rudder for turning (hidden gyro for low speed turning)
This could also be a 10k special I guess?

Hope you are all having a wonderful start to 2026! Happy sailing!
