    Maybe so, but a Ma Deuce would shake it apart.

    Hi Sifundo, Have you tried

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/category:Small_combat_vessel_classes

    or

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone-class_patrol_ship

    Who gave you the task to do this difficult job to do? Is your job at stake?

    Sifundo, you need to do more research, you did not inform us what size ship you need to build or give orders for to various suppliers, look at

    http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/category/corvettes-and-patrol-craft/

    and get yourself first acquainted with the ship you need to get.

    Then you sit down and say to yourself:

    1) what is the logical sequence to give orders to suppliers.
    2) hull first, but does the shipyard knows what should be considered , with items like: extra strength fore deck for the gun, intercom system to the gunner, provision of armaments from "WHERE" to the gun. Where would you have the armament? correct, yes you are right, below the gun area, and not in the same room as the engine and diesel fuel. Do I need special strength to protect the armaments of not blowing up, yes you are correct, I would do that also. Now I am philosophizing that you have some insight and some brains to do this job.
    3) When you give the instruction to the shipyard to build this creation, please tell them, that they must make provision for radar equipment, suitable to do 100 mile radius and not a small 0.5 Kwatt pulsed harbour system.
    They have to make provision for special square/rectangular piping for the radar aerial system.
    4) How big is this boat going to be? You need to instruct for how many sailors sleeping berths should be made available on board, small kitchen, etc.

    Sifundo, unless you come forward with some more detailed information and why this job was given to you, no forum member can help you and others will be making spaghetti and fun of you.
    Bert

    Why is it, that I don't stop thinking that it is a youngster , who is writing a software program for a game. It looks like he does not want to give details away, in case he looses his advantage and the big bucks which he stands to loose. I may be wrong, but he is too polite for an adult.

    It will not be patrolling, as that is the job of the patrol boat crew.

    You probably have not heard of the story.

    A young man saw an old man sitting on a bench in a park. He is holding a fishing pole with a string leading to the bushes.

    The young man, thinking the old man has gone off his rockers, took pity on him. He said, come on old man, I will buy you lunch and a beer.

    After a couple of beers, he asked. What were you doing in that park?

    Fishing, the old man replied.

    And have you caught any lately?

    The old man politely replied. "You Sir".

    RX, I had a good laugh about your story.

    But I am intrigued and like to figure out, is it a stupid disadvantaged person who stole the job from a qualified person , or is it a youngster who needs input for writing a game, or is it a female secretary who's boss is an idiot and gave it to her to figure it out. Bert

    The gun boats used by Navy Seals & Force Recon teams back in the 1980's were quite impressive. Big, fast boats with some serious fire power. The newer Mark V looks quite impressive. Though these boats are small, they pack a serious punch. I don't think I would ever want to come across one on the water.

    Sifundo I detect some irony in your words. I think you're right but at last, after all, you got something from this forum.

    Hello Team, I would like to enquire from you if it is possible to Lay The Deck when building a boat and before you Place The Main Engine?
    Please help!

    It totally depends, in how your boat look like and what the designer has made provision for and for what not.

    It's a good scheme to incorperates a "soft patch" over the engine room, this is a bolted cover & contributes to structural continuity, the style of vessel may have funnel/stack lift with the soft patch, various contrivances may be required also to position engines/gearboxes/generaters within the room such as I beams & beam trollies or similar, these can be removable for purpose, removal & refitting of engine components is sometimes also required.
