    Ha Ha, Somewhere on this site, Kotori has a whole list of different Iboat names.

    @ Tuggy and the rest, would you guys be willing to do the battle somewhere near me?

    At some point next year, I'm planning on making a battle in Ohio, probably one of the dual format weekends with Treaty and Battlestations! together. My BaS! boat won't be ready until then. HMS Malaya will be already well-tested, and Lil Scharnie is good to go.

    That's a very impressive list! I think HMS Immersible is a good name, since (hopefully) it's an accurate description of the boat. Also, I've thought of one thats not on the list - HMS Invadable.

    Also:
    HMS Irrevocable, near sister of HMS Irreversible.
    HMS Inalterable, which can't have it's AA armament upgraded,
    HMS Improvable, which could be a lot better,
    Not to be confused with HMS Unprovable, which may or may not have existed.

    And the only sunk once and lost in the lake HMS Irretreivable!

    How about after a long day of fighting, HMS Indistinguishable. Maybe you have problems getting her to work, HMS Irritable.
    Maybe her cannons were taken out, HMS Indefensible.

    Next year some time, eh. Boy, I'm going to have to hurry and finish Suffren soon so I can work on the I boat.
    Tugboat, in a pretty old post, you said you were working on cleaning up some I boat plans, did you ever get those done? Because if you did, I would be interested in a copy. :)

    How similar are the Invincible-class BC and the Indefatigable-class? I have plans for the Indefatigable-class, and was wondering if the ribs from an Indefatigable can be used on a Invincible?
    Or, if you have Invincible plans that would be better. :)

    The Indefatigables are slightly longer, I don't think they are wider, if they are it is not by much.

    According to the IRC's ship list, it is only one foot wider. So, I guess I can make my own Invincible plans by just taking an Inv. side and top profile, and paste it with the Indefatigables' hull lines, right?

    I have good news, I scaled my plans and called a local print shop and they said that they would be able to print them for me for about $20 a piece. It's a little cheaper than buying Strike's plans, not that their plans are outrageously priced or anything. :)

    And really you would have to make copies anyway. A reference copy just to look at and at least one working copy that has to get down and dirty.

    That's right, but I think I'm only going to make one copy at the moment.
