Hello

Just out of curiosity, can anyone tell me where the launch is located on the finished build??
I've looked at dozens of pictures and videos but not seen it anywhere.
I know it will all become apparent eventually but I'm just curious.

Many thanks

hi harvardhound, as a general rule the launch in theory could be launched from the stern davits either port or starboard,or the stern itself, it could also be tied down on the main gun deck, or even be towed while at sea. the possibilities are numerous,so why not just wait and see what turns up.

Thanks for the quick replies
I was just intrigued as I haven't seen it in any pictures
I'm sure it will all become apparent in time.

In issue 130, the ships boat will be placed into its support cradle, and the cradle positioned over the central deck gratings as outlined in this photo.
