Heck....Furious the Aircraft Carrier had to have her hull reinforced a couple of times! She was VERY "scantily framed" to try and save weight!

FWIW, I saw ONE photograph with both turrets showing, and several drawings. I suppose it's possible that the photo was something of a cut-and-paste...but what with stability coefficients and what-not....ships generally aren't something you can "kinda" complete!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It's been in commission for some time. To save money it was built from well used parts from other decommissioned hulks. It was following strict guidelines about limiting the cost of fuel so in obeying those instructions it filled only the port tanks.
