Topic: HMS Cossack

[Charles Hart]

Could anyone please advise if the stabiliser strips should be added to the hull? If so can you please advise dimensions. (position on hull)

I would say, yes, they should be added to the hull..
But I have no idea of the dimensions, maybe if you get a hold of John lamberts plans, that might help you..

Thanks Colin – that is a great help.

The plans shown by Colin are for the Emergency War CO class destroyer HMS Cossack not for the  Cossack kit Deans manufacture which is a tribal class destroyer. Norman Ough produced a set of drawings for HMS Matabele a sister ship of HMS Cossack.
Regards.

Thanks for your input rsm – I realised that this was not the Cossack that I am building, regarding drawings, I will see if I can obtain copies.

The historic naval ships association has plans of ww2 tribal free online in their booklet of plans section - these show the position of the keels in section drawings

Many thanks ship's doctor and Andy for your help – the drawings are excellent and the photos taken in dry dock will be very helpful.
