    Name this boat. Note the Snort' tube (clue) and the dustbin on the bow, just in front of the bow planes! What is that thing?

    Ill take a stab at it. Isnt that also one of the post war S boat conversions, although not as extensive as the Scotsman?

      Here's what I think is an earlier picture, note the gun on this one, so there must have been some minor conversion.

      Yes, its an S Class British boat.

          David,

          Pay attention dumb-ass! Didn't I just say it was an S Class British boat?
          So, what's her name?

                Sturdy is also on this page: http://home.cogeco.ca/%7Egchalcraft/sm/page16.html

                The post-war version has lost its deck gun and gained a PUFFs-style sonar forward.

                There's an interesting story elsewhere about the (24 year old!) CO of Sturdy being relieved during the war for destroying an oiler with satchel charges.
