This?? Tri-ang Minic Ships model of the Invincible Class Carrier which were commissioned by the Royal Navy in the early 1980's. These ships were originally intended to be escort carriers to complement the CVA Fleet Carrier being planned in the 1960's however, after the fleet carrier replacement was cancelled, the design of these ships was modified initially to provide a "through deck" helicopter cruiser and finally a small aircraft carrier utilising the Sea Harrier. The need for aircraft carriers was the subject of political controversy in the 1970's and 1980's and these ships were always in danger of being mothballed. In fact the sale of HMS Invincible to Australia was only cancelled because of the Falklands War which proved the requirement for ships of this type. All of these ships are fitted with an angled "ski jump" to enable the Harrier aircraft to take off with a full load of fuel and ammunition. The first two ships, HMS Invincible and HMS Illustrious, were built with 7?? ski jumps, which was increased to 13?? during subsequent refits, while HMS Ark Royal was built with a 12?? ski jump.

These ships were designed to replace the existing LPD (Landing Platform Dock) ships HMS Fearless and HMS Intrepid. The ships are similar in configuration to HMS Fearless with a well dock and stern gate as well as side access. They have landing spots for two helicopters and are capable of operating both the Merlin EH 101 and Chinook helicopter. The ships can operate 4 LCU Mk 10 Landing Craft or 2 LCAC docking modules as well as 4 LCVP Mk 5 Landing Craft, which are carried on davits. They have large combined operations rooms with substantial Command & Control facilities and are capable of carrying 710 troops and 67 vehicles in an overload condition.

The Type 42 destroyers were designed principally to provide air defence for a task force, replacing the County Class destroyers, which were becoming increasingly expensive to operate, but they are also utilised to engage surface and anti-submarine targets. All the ships were named after large British cities, commemorating many of the Town Class cruisers that fought with such distinction in the Second World War. The ships are armed with the British Aerospace Sea Dart surface-to-air missile system, for defence against both aircraft and missiles, as well as being equipped with a Vickers 4.5 inch gun and anti-submarine torpedo tubes. In addition, as a result of experience in the Falklands War, the ships are also fitted with 20 mm Phalanx CIWS and chaff decoys for close range defence. Each ship carries a Lynx helicopter, which extends the range of the ship???s radar systems, and, armed with the Sea Skua missile, is also the ship's principle anti-submarine weapon. The Type 42 destroyers are fitted with controllable pitch propellers and are powered by two Rolls-Royce Tyne Engines, which provide a cruising speed of 18 knots. In addition they are equipped with two Rolls-Royce Olympus engines, which allow the ship to "sprint" at up to 29 knots for short periods.

The Sandown Class Mine Hunters were ordered as a simple cost effective "Single Role Mine Hunter" to complement the Hunt Class MCMV. These vessels are designed for deep water and ocean operations unlike the Hunt Class, which were designed for coastal and shallow water areas. Like the Hunt Class they are constructed of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) to reduce the magnetic signature of the vessel whilst being strong enough to withstand shock from explosions. These vessels are not minesweepers and therefore do not destroy mines by sweeping with towed wire sweeps. They do have Clearance Divers on board to destroy mines identified by the sophisticated sonar and also carry two small-unmanned submersible, known as the Remote Control Mine Disposal System (RCMDS), which can destroy underwater mines using explosives.

The Hunt Class Minesweepers were ordered to replace the aging Ton Class vessels and were designed principally to work in coastal and shallow water areas, such as the approaches to the River Clyde, where many of Britain's nuclear submarines are based. They are the largest warships ever constructed of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) giving them the advantage of having a reduced magnetic signature whilst being strong enough to withstand shock from explosions. The ships are designed with noise reduction features to avoid accidentally triggering acoustic mines. The Hunt Class Mine Countermeasure Vessels (MCMVs) combine the roles of mine hunting and minesweeping. There are three ways they can neutralise mines: The Hunt Class also carry a small-unmanned submersible, known as the Remote Control Mine Disposal System (RCMDS), which can destroy underwater mines using explosives. Three Hunt Class vessels, Cottesmore, Brecon and Dulverton, were assigned to the Northern Ireland Squadron in 1998 to patrol the province's waterways and participate in counter terrorist operations in support of British Forces and the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC).

The Vanguard Class Submarines were designed to deploy the Trident Missile system to replace the aging Resolution Class which deployed the Polaris Missile system, Britain's initial nuclear deterrent. The boats were based largely on the American Ohio Class the major difference being that the Vanguard Class was designed with 16 missile tubes instead of the 24 missile tubes of the Ohio Class boats. Twice as heavy and twenty metres longer the new Vanguard Class Submarines had many advantages over the Resolution Class including more space, with a fourth deck, and less crew due to increased automation. They also have improved sonar and carry the Spearfish torpedo. The development of the Trident Missile system received much interest from Russian intelligence and in what was dubbed "The Hunt for Red December" Russian submarines trying to monitor Vanguard's sea trials in December 1993 were chased across the Norwegian Sea by British frigates and submarines. Upon embarking on her first operational patrol Vanguard was the subject of further Russian interest and it is rumoured that at least two Trafalgar Class submarines, one of which was HMS Torbay, escorted her as she left the Clyde approaches and headed into the open ocean. In 1993 it was announced that Devonport had won the contract to refit and refuel the four Vanguard Class Submarines, worth ?£5 billion. Since the announcement a large amount of money has been spent constructing the facilities needed for the refit including the conversion of a 90 year old battleship drydock into a modern earthquake proof refit complex. The four Vanguard Class Submarines are members of the 1st Submarine Squadron based at HM Naval Base Clyde.

The Vanguard Class can carry sixteen Trident II (D5) Missiles which have a range of 4,000 nautical miles (around 11,000km). Each missile is 13 metres long, weighs 60 tonnes and can carry up to twelve warheads each of which can be programmed to attack different targets.???At any single time there is at least one Vanguard Class Submarine on deterrent patrol, its location a closely guarded secret known only by the senior officers onboard. Once they leave Faslane they submerge and do not resurface until they return.

Originally designed for Cold War operations in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic the Trafalgar Class design was a follow on from the successful Swiftsure Class but incorporated many improvements making them both faster and quieter.

The hull of is covered by anechoic tiles to absorb sonar signals and noise reduction is achieved through the pump jet propulsion system which is a multi blade rotor turned by a jet of water that is quieter than a conventional propeller. The lead ship HMS Trafalgar was completed in 1983 before the pump jet propulsion system was ready and has a seven bladed propeller instead.

Like previous British nuclear submarines the Trafalgar Class boats have a ???teardrop hull???, the fin has been strengthened and the hydroplanes can be retracted to allow the submarine to surface through ice.

The principle role of these "hunter-killer" vessels is to attack ships and other submarines and in this capacity they could support and protect a convoy or taskforce. With the fitting of the Tomahawk cruise missile system they will also be capable of a land attack role.

The Trafalgar Class are fitted with cameras and thermal imaging systems that allow them to be used in a surveillance role.???

This is the model of the SS Volunteer Mariner a Mariner Class C4 cargo ship owned and operated by Matson Lines.The Mariner Class C4 cargo ships were designed in the early 1950's for the US Maritime Administration (MARAD), under the leadership of Admiral Edward L. Cochrane, to provide a nucleus of fast sealift capacity for the US Military after the limitations of the World War II era Liberty / Victory Ships were highlighted by the Korean War.A total of 35 ships were built to the Mariner Class C4 design under a commercial arrangement between the US Maritime Administration and various American shipping lines such as American President Lines, Matson Lines, Pope & Talbot Lines, and Pacific Far East Lines whereby the US government provided some of the funding and the ships were available for call up.
