U.S.S. Connecticut - 1/250 Scratch Build

[Don Boose]

As always, magnificent work, Mike! It was an impressive warship and your model beautifully replicates the power and beauty.

The paper anchor chains (that you discuss in Post #140) are very impressive, but then, everything you build is impressive.

Thanks again Don. It’s a pleasure having you on board.
Yes, this ship carried both anchor systems, predreadnought and the more modern dreadnought system.
It seems a bit odd. Perhaps they could have saved money by going one way or the other. The designers and engineers must have had many considerations . . . all lost to history.

Thanks Shipbuild, Glen, Wolfgang, Daudey and Lex!

Here are five images done in sequence to show the installation of the davits, rigging, and other equipment in the vicinity of the starboard stern.
