About this work
Stacked model and half-model (starboard) of a ram-tower ship. It has a ram bow, cruiser stern, rudder with rounded rudder blade. On the deck stand two deckhouses, one forward and one aft, both triangular in shape so as to allow a maximum field of fire for the turret amidships. A chimney on the aft deckhouse. The bow is completely flat, the hull has a flat bottom with rounded bilges.
