Looking for something to do recently I found two ships, which to my knowledge have never been modeled in 1200/1250 scale. The U.S Navy repair ships DELTA and BRIAREUS were sister ships converted from C-3 hulls. Identical except for minor differences, their most prominent differences were the cranes just aft of the superstructure, DELTA having a heavy single crane, typical of those found on war built seaplane, destroyer and submarine tenders, versus BRIAREUS which instead just had a third goalpost mast. This difference justified me in scratch building models of both ships. DELTA is shown here in early 1943, and BRIAREUS late 1943, accounting for other differences, such as 1.1" guns on the former and 40mm on the latter's bridge wings, as well as the radar mast on BRIAREUS.

Both ships served long after the war, DELTA only being retired in 1970.
