I have seen maybe two or three Navy MOC's. A few submarines,
and even a couple of modern navy aircraft carriers but practically zero
Frigates or Destroyers. After searching long and hard on Lugnet and
Brickshelf I determined it was time to create a MOC of a modern naval
destroyer/frigate.
Well it's done. It's a hybrid cruise missile, nuclear powered
destroyer/frigate, MOC, scale to minifig but not quite as big as
a true scale minifig MOC might be. Come on now, I only
have so many pieces...
Specs:
3 completely fitted enclosed decks (that sit on each other and are
easily lifted up to allow viewing access):
Deck 1 - Hull
Contains 12 bunks, galley, kitchen, sick bay, engine room (housing a
nuclear reactor, weapons storage, general storage, head and shower.
Deck 2 - Main Deck - exterior
2 .50 cal machine guns, SAM/Cruise missile launcher, 2 mounted torpedo
launchers with torpedoes, 70mm enclosed cannon turret, helicopter pad, 2
depth charge launchers
Deck 2 - Main Deck - interior
Ready/Briefing/Conference room, Officer Quarters ( 6 bunks ), 4 extra
bunks (SEAL Team or visitor use)
Deck 3 - Bridge / CIC
3 station bridge (Navigation, Captain, Helmsman)
4 station CIC (Communication, Tactical, Weapons,
and Sonar/Radar operator)
Berthing for 18 permanent crew, 4 temporary for 22 total.
For you X-Navy or Navy buffs this is not a model that represents a
replica of an existing or decommission ship. I've never been in the Navy
so perhaps my terminology is off and it's probably true that a Destroyer
or Frigate will never house it's own nuclear reactor, but that's the
beauty of lego's right? The ability to replicate the impossible, and
for virtually no cost. Call it a concept nuclear, coast guard cutter
sized cruise missile destroyer.
It's about 2 feet tall and about 3 feet long, and almost 1 foot
in the widest spot of the hull. Colored in light gray, with black
and dark gray trim.
Great you say, but where are the pictures? I'm shooting it
tonight digitally and should have pictures available by
tomorrow.
If you know of any sites containing any other naval MOC's
WWI or newer) please respond with links.
Not enough of them out there...

| (...) You need to peruse lugnet.pirates and look for naval master builder Lindsay's creations... He also needs to get with the program and put his pictures up on Brickshelf so they can all be online at once... Frank (23 years ago, 3-Aug-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Good job Marc, you know I was stationed on a DDG based in Japan for three years (USS Curtis Wilbur DDG54) and your command of Naval terminology is quite good. We call these types of ships "puddle-jumpers", but thats a whole lot of firepower (...) (23 years ago, 4-Aug-01, to lugnet.general)
