    Hmmm. Looking at the fleet in the garage:
    Richelieu,Suffren,Montcalm,Mogador

    Still to finish: Surcouf

    Obviously I need to be working on a hull for the Algerie and the Province... :p

    I think you should build the new Mutsu first...

    How far is your Surcouf?

    Hi Curt,
    I have that ship. I tried to resheet it, but it disintegrated. The stern broke off just the same as shown in the pictures here. It is still in my garage -- I plan to make a new hull for and reuse the superstructure. I just need a little more practice making wooden hulls.

    Hi Rob. Yeah Tom informed me that you had the ship and it's not the one that was posted. Apparently there were 2 of these that were made nearly identically. That hull had quite a bit of milage on it. Well atl least the top half will get more milage than the hull. Thanks for clearing that up for me Rob.

    Well it appears to be a rather pretty sink though!

    Will the same salvage company that stripped down the Tirpitz be contracted to strip down this Mutsu?
