Shipbucket

found some errors in Nordkapp class and decided to go over it with a brush!

Nordkapp class. Coast Guard vessel Andenes

What I have done:
- Edited ship color to reflect more to the Norwegian standard color (might perhaps be a tad lighter)
- Adjustment on railings.
- Adjustment to enlarged C&C and fleet command facility superstructure, behind bridge.
- correcting propellers.
- fixing errors on underwater hull (stabilization fins, etc.)
- Giving the ship the "correct" underwater color.
- adjusting shading issues.
- done a port side of the vessel.
- fixing color of funnel, and shading.
- fixing engine ventilation looks. and adding cover over one of them.
- giving the ship a new window color.

This is Andenes as of today. I will come with an version of here as build, later.



This version replace all other version of Nordkapp class in the archive, since they all are wrong.

Nordkapp class as build

Nice, I like the Nordkapp Class, they are really beautiful ships!

I would like also to see the 1937 Nordkapp.

Excellent!

Nice work!

I have only one picture of here, at the moment.

Looks good! Always wondered if the Norwegian Coast Guard ships could be uparmed in case of a war? like the USCG ships are fitted with CIWS ,torpedotubes, and anti ship missiles.

And very nice too Harry.

Nordkapp class was an cold war coast guard ship, and was thus build to be an war ship and could carry:

- up to 6 penguin launcher. (there have been disgusting in the Navy to give here capability to carry NSM, but since this ships are closing in to it's end of a long carrier...)
- Mistral launcher with missile.
- two triple torpedo launcher
- mines
- depth charges
- towed sonar.
- 56 mm foot designed to handle the old 3" guns.
- there was also an option on mounting Sea Sparrow launcher (MK29) on here..

Basically and Nordkapp class would be as good armed as an Oslo class except for Terne III and build in sonar. And we all know that during the cold war, Oslo class was one of the best armed ship of it's size... perhaps overarmed.

Other coast guard vessels in Norway can also be up-armed. specially the larger coast guard ships. they would most likely get, self defense system like Skjold class have, torpedo launcher, old school depth charges. ASuW missiles is also possible.


Edit: I just got an E-mail. Nordkapp class have an hull mounted sonar. Have to edit it in to the drawing. Nordkapp class is to be take out of service in 2020, Andenes can already go in 2016.

nice
