Re: A ship worthy of having a model made of her!

Nice pictures of HMS Menestheus as a minelayer - but after conversion she gained a second funnel which I believe carried away the 'exhaust gases' from the brewery.

The ship (& her sisters)were modelled by Len Jordan - many years ago Menetheus but it would be a major project.
A not brilliant photo - but I'm sure others are available: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HMS_Menestheus,_False_Creek,_Vancouver,_stern_view.jpg

I see that they kept the minelaying chutes to send out the kegs.

Sit back and have a cold one while contemplating someone making a model of this, er, highly specialized WWII auxiliary!
