      <content:encoded><![CDATA[With Surcouf’s finish line on the (distant) horizon; I’m starting to allow myself to dream of my next project.  I want to make a pair of 3D printed surface ships, which are good for new captains to get started.<br />
<br />
Design Constraints:<br />
Small, but not Surcouf small.  I dont want to use wood/fiberglass and I don’t want to wait forever for them to print.  I’m thinking roughly 4’ in length overall.<br />
<br />
Fast (enough) - New captains don’t want a turtle.<br />
<br />
Not weak - they don’t need to be the nastiest...<br />

<br />
A class 5 ship is allowed 3” of rudder. Multi rudder ships are allowed a 1.5 rudder bonus or 4.5” of rudder. In our hobby, our boat turn due to prop wash over the rudder, so the more prop wash you can direct the better your boat will turn.<br />

Single Rudder = 3” rudder<br />

Dual in line = 4.5” rudder<br />

Dual = 2 X 2.25 “ rudders<br />

Drag Disks are allowed in our hobby, and are placed on non running props. For the sake of argument I...<br />

While I gather smaller British BCs are generally more popular, I&#039;m particularly drawn to Hood (though a CAE like HMS Warrior is somewhat temping). From what I&#039;ve read on ship comparison Hood must have rather poor maneuverability given length but on the other hand, is allowed a generous armament.]]></content:encoded>

I think it&#039;s an interesting idea and would like to one day set a light cruiser up like that. With the Fiji though, it&#039;s Allied. Now I&#039;m not opposed to it, but I want to keep most of my ships on the Axis side.<br />
