Final details

Final details have been glued to the hull. I placed a 1/72 scale figure on the fair water plane to establish the proportions of man to this ship. At just under 250 feet these were the smallest class of nuclear subs built for the U. S. Navy except for NR-1 a small "research" vessel.
 Close up of the masts, it would not be normal to have every mast raised, and certainly not in dry dock. I choose to have them all up for additional visual interest.
View from aft, the silver line near the rudder and stern planes are Zinc Anodes. These would corrode as a sacrifice minimizing corrosion of the steel portions of the hull.
