Hello all after looking at some of the great GB's here and doing some research, I was thinking of an Intresting and hopefully popular Campaign Idea for the future. the name can be changed but i tried to make it catchy.

"Little Friends of the Fleet Campaign"

Which would be a GB for the small boys of the fleets around the world that were say purpose built for Escort Duties of some nature ASW, AAW etc. I was gearing toward just Frigates but thought of Destroyer Escorts, Radar Picketts, and Corvettes.. I know Destroyers did alot of Escort duty in WWII, and I read that the CGN's were classed as Frigates and Destroyer leaders intially till 1975. But thinking mostly of Frigates, DE's, and Corvettes. with a time frame of lets say 1939 to present and of all nations. If anyone of you senior builders have anyway to straighten out my Idea im grateful, if not what do you all think, anyone Intrested? thanks for looking..

Oh yeah time frame of Jan 11 to May 11??? but ultimatley up to the head shed..

Ahoy, Eugene,
I LIKE it!

Great Campaign idea, mate...you can count me in...that's 2, now we need at least 8 more builders...the best thing to do is to fill out the Submit a New Campaign form, get this one on the books now as a proposed campaign, and members can then enlist as we move along in the approval process...any questions, let me know!

Cheers,
~Gunny

good one... i have a couple in the stash that I can build, I think both qualify:

Trumpeter's 1:350 USS England DE-635 (Buckley class destroyer)
AFV club's 1:700 Robert Perry FF1073 Knox Class Frigate

count me in if the above are appropriate for the GB cheers

Gunny

Thanks for Scoop and the welcome ive been a short time looker as i am new to ships. havent built any yet have Knox on the bench and have finished a sub that took third at our Quarterly contest. I sent off the submittal so we'll see i hope it goes alot of cool subjects to do. Ive done a few A/C GB's but no ships still of them my knox probably wont have PE but my next ship a Perry will..

ALL members who wish to sign up for this campaign, please CLICK HERE to be transported to the campaign mainpage, and enlist in this campaign idea and let's get it approved!

We need at least 10 members to enlist to carry this idea over to a sanctioned campaign, so what are ye' waitin fer'?.....arghhhh......

Cheers,
~Gunny

Count me in, my main area of interest is the Battle of the Atlantic, so I am into escort vessels, overworked and undervalued. I will probably go for something along the corvette / frigate line, but as the start is after Telford, I will make my mind up then

Good luck

Sorry, probably being daft, but couldn't see the "enlist" button to click on when I clicked on the link, if missed it sorry, but if not can we have one please

Simon,
You're not seeing it over to the right of the page?

The button is near the right hand sideof the post. I just enlisted, so now there are two people.

Duster, Jmartine the Enlistment is open we are halfway there.!! Tell your friends!!!!!!

Same thing happened to me...seems that when you click (or right click to open a new window), you "lose" your login and therefore there is no "ENLIST" button. You have to login again; probably a glitch in the forum software, i can usually open multiple windows without losing my login.

Thanks James, didn't notice I wasn't signed in, blind as well as daft,

This sounds like a great campaign with a huge potential for a variety of subjects! I've enlisted and started my "Santa List". I hope I've been a "good boy", because I see a few more intriguing campaigns being bandied about!
