Is it just me or are those ships ridiculously top-heavy

Might be just you, because both of them are real ships from Charybdis's "Ferries of Portsmouth" drawings. The "Lt Rhamey" is the Pride of Bilbao, and the "Solace" is the Pride of Portsmouth. Most all modern cruise ships look exceedingly top heavy like that from what I've seen. I just really like the look of these two and figured there wouldn't be much chance of drawing something similar on my own, so I just went ahead and used them with Charybdis's kind permission.

Your Barracuda class is really awesome, but I would assume the 1908 would have been rearmed with QF guns, more substantial bridgework and fighting tops. Also it would've in all likelihood have been repainted in the preferred shade of gray. But, really, by 1908, it might just have been relegated to the scrap yard or placed in Ordinary.

Yeah, they were obsolete and decommed by then, so further changes seemed unnecessary.

A GHRN Nurse killed in the line of duty.

(basically, a name I made up.)
