    Awesome Paul. Your keeping the shipyard quite busy these days. Any pics of California making her post refit maiden voyage?

    Nothing yet. If the weather is nice this weekend I will put the completed tennessee on the water. Last night was armor placed back in. servo horns to activate the poppets and attach the turrets. Tonight will be final paint and then I will consider it done with the exception of some minor tweeks

    Well here are some shots of the now completed USS Tennessee. With the exception of some minor tweeks I am happy to report the boat is done. Systems have been tested.. So here are some shots when I thought it was first completed
    [​IMG]That was pretty much complete in 2010. Except for the turrets and secondaries. This pic was taken roughly 1 week before the IRCWCC NATS. And after about 3 battles the boat pretty much needed some severe bench and trial period. THe rest of 2010 saw a few more battles (and sadly) sinks the boat needed to be rebuilt. I did not really start rebuilding it to until this year. So here is the after rebuild pics

    This project was all you Captain and you have graduated as Shipyard coordinator and Engineer Ship builder. Congrats on a job well done. So what's next ? Montana?
