Ahoy! I've uploaded some pics of the third in my line of SNOT hulled naval ships, this one is a modern Guided Missile Frigate, fully kitted out for modern warfare other roles.

Bruce, I think your comments are really fair. Mine is probably somewhat biased since I do not have the 6285 and donno about the details of that set. P.S. In a recent warehouse clearance sale of the Lego distributor in HK, I got 6296, 6248 and 6254. (...) (22 years ago, 29-May-02, to lugnet.pirates)
