      I totally agree with you John. I kinda liken it to listening to a classic album...it doesn't catch right off the bat but takes numerous listens and then the genius starts popping out. This excludes all bonus tracks and engineering afterthoughts, of course lol

        ... you learn a great deal about the Craft, and the man, by examination of the bench and work-space. Joel never ceases to amaze.

            I find it interesting that the poms have always gone for a much different shape than the USN's teardrop hull design....but then they have always been a little odd!! Angled flight decks, steam catapults, Harrier jump jets...................................and stopid assed short sighted RN fleet cutbacks......

              Surely there must be some sort of hydrodynamic advantage that comes with these funky designs? Hey, at least they have straight-angle forward firing torpedoes...there has to be something said for that!

                That would be a "good thing", right??

                  Not necessarily to have them straight angled but the Brits have figured on straight for this boat. All modern US Nukes from the Thresher onwards had the tubes angled 10 degrees to accommodate the massive bow sonar. A modern warshot is not a dumb point and shoot weapon, meaning you don't need a straight line launch to target bearing.

                    ...and for us rc sub guys wanting to shoot them non-fly-by-wire Caswell torpedoes all straight-like and such, it's a really good thing. Not to mention not having to make complicated weirdo rotating torpedo shutters that are at a 10 degree angle
