Flankerman Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The USS Seawolf was the second nuclear boat after the USS Nautilus - but fitted with a sodium-cooled reactor. After service as a testbed and attack boat, she had a 52ft extension added amidships for 'Special Projects' work - i.e. covert ops.Fitted with a lock-out shelter for divers and retractable skegs to allow her to sit on the seabed, she also had side thrusters fore and aft for precise maneouvring...To disguise her true purpose, she was equipped for testing the Mystic DSRV mini-sub on her stern - with white paint to aid docking.My model is scratch-built using two Mikro-Mir Nautilus hulls cut and joined to increase the length - with a revised bow shape from plastic card and a scratched stepped sail..... WIP discussion here and more photos of the finished model here.Ken 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
