You can now see some pictures of my US W.W.II Fletcher Class Destroyer at my

ship is therefore 115 studs long and 12 studs wide.
Very Impressive!

Mostly it is a straight forward construction without to much SNOT (I have
nothing against SNOT). A crucial part for the twin AA-guns is  the Minifig
Tool Binoculars Town' (30162) A difficult part of the ship to model is the
life rafts. I used the Tyre 17 x 43' (3634) with inserted 1x2 plates.
Very nice how you did both!

The Fletcher Class was built in great number during W.W.II an existed in
many versions after the war, so it is possible the create variants of my
model. The ship that you can see now is from around 1944 with 5 twin 40 mm
Bofors AA-guns.
Very Very Very Nice!!!!!!!! Makes me want to move my Sub construction up. ;-)
Anyone got red or black plates??? ;-)
