I don't want to hear about landing craft, rubber boats or DUWK's!

Has to be a fighting ship design.

If any one else has questions please hijack the thread header and continue as I need more research.....

HMS Crusier


The Cruiser class of 18 gun brig of war was the largest class of warship of their time. In all 103 of the class were built, from the Cruiser of 1797 to the Zebra of 1815. This class of ship played a very active roll during the Napoleonic wars, being used for escort duty, reconnaissance and attacking enemy convoys and inshore raids. As originally built the Cruiser had eighteen 6 pounder carriage guns but this was later changed to sixteen 32 pounder caronades and two 6 pounder carriage guns.

I feel like the japanese in June '42, It had started so well but then went pear shaped!

There has to be a question to stump you lot!

The flushdeckers beat out the Fletchers with 280 completions, but that's divided into three classes, to be technical.
There were 502 YMS craft, 435 SC 497 class, about 654 Fairmile "B" launches, 6200 Shinyos....

Totally forgot about the Clemson/Wickes class. Whoops. Interesting to see what the lad asking the question believes is correct.

some armament, you could make a case for the US Liberty Ships.

I'm going to be picky and say the subs are actually boats and I asked for ships......

Just wondering about the rest now, including my own Flower class!!!

Does anybody have the definition of a boat and a ship handy????

Right or wrong I've used the following:
Ship - anything that was designed for use on the open sea.
Boat - one that not.

Being ex RN you could get keel-hauled for calling a ship a boat.

quote:

A rule of thumb saying (though it doesn't always apply) goes: "a boat can fit on a ship, but a ship can't fit on a boat". Often local law and regulation will define the exact size (or the number of masts) which a boat requires to become a ship.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny ship.

Any vessel of Minnow size or larger is a ship.

Status: offline 		The most plausible definition I ever came across was that a ship has more than one deck (not counting any weather deck), while a boat does not. So a submarine, not having multiple decks, is a boat, while a vessel with a built-up superstructure or multiple decks within its hull is a ship.

I have also come across a definition to the effect that the smallest vessel possible is a boat. If there is a vessel that cannot carry this boat on board, that vessel is also a boat. A vessel that can carry a boat is a ship.

Minnow has to be a ship because the original version of the song sounds much better than:

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a tour afloat
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this average boat.

Well is an LST a landing craft or ship.
It is probably bigger and more expensive than a corvette.
