I don't have any of those(!!). I do, however, have a Classic 1x4x2
window...and I've experimented with the 1x4x2 airplane-window panels (but
those are getting hard to come by, and they don't look quite..."right."
On the other hand, a tan 4x4 or 6x6 plate, with a couple of antennae to
simulate support rods at the back corners, would make a nice awning for the
boat...hmmm.

Good idea--I put the page up originally just as a "stopgap" but it's
becoming the seed of a more permanent structure. HG = Heavy Guns. These
are standard "modern naval engineer" abbreviations, so I have plenty of
good glossaries to comb.
