Another of my projects is nearing completion and I thought I'd post it for people who're interested in damage reports or diorama ideas. I stumbled across a booklet a couple of months ago titled Structural Repairs in Forward Areas During WWII and have been converting it to HTML for people to read. Some of the reports are downright scary if you actually understand what happened (Houston in particular). I've got three more to go and will post 1-2 of them this weekend.

If you like damage reports, I'd also recommend the following NavSea page:

Tracy,
Thanks for sharing these.
Very interesting reads.
Best regards,

Hi Tracy,

Thanks very much for those links, much appreciated

Cheers

Glad you guys are enjoying.... it was too good to leave in the archives!

thanks for sharing indeed! I have never enough of these for my dioramas. I am particularly amazed by the drawing which explains the consequences of the torpedo hit to all other parts of the ship -including the seaplane that goes not so smoothly in the water.

Fantastic work, Tracy!
Thanks so much for sharing it with us. . .extremely interesting, and helpful as well. Keep 'em coming, mate!

Thanks for posting it.

I have Kearny & Foote's done but am having troubles uploading... FTP seems to want to crash on me. Shoul dhave them up in the next day or two...

Hi Tracy
