ADMIRAL189'S CORNER - INCOMING SHIP MODELS

Damn Admiral - you are our genius! Admiral = Genius 🤩

Was thinking that you should create the whole square bridge island structure of the USS Longbeach as a static object - as well, & we can link to the Nimitz or Forrestal, as a stand-in for the Enterprise (for eye candy) - but would be too small to replace the existing island, anyway - pity! 🙂

I will duplicate the photo with the exception of the carrier! USS Longbeach and USS Bainbridge!

This is like a Christmas present from a loved one knowing that's they'll be coming Admiral! Thank-you so much for your efforts.

She looks ready for a Med/Gulf cruise! 

Hi Admiral, thanks once again for all your hard work! I'm truly amazed by your work! I've been checking the Admirals's Cornor to see if any new ships have been released. I hope I'm using the correct link becuase I saw somewhere that you have a new link to Admirals Cornor! I just don't want to miss anything. I know your clearly a NAVY Man, I have a question about the A-6A. The mod is great, but it will only allow me to place just one aircraft instead of four, is there a way I can fix this? Again thanks for all your hard work, I know that the DCS Community is very grateful!!

Marroux you always seem to amaze me with your photos. I think the Apache's downwash lifted those flaps. They may be covering some cables or something and they lifted up when the Apache lifted off.

Thanks for the video Shrike88! I see models out of there of her but wayy too costly.

USS Bowen FF-1079 will be released this weekend. All weapons work. I'm not putting a lot of detail in her. I will keep it simple. USS Bainbridge is next in line!

Hi Admiral, I hate to bother you, but I don't see any of these ships in Admirals Cornor. The last ship that was released was the Sub, Los Ageles Class. I Hope I'm not missing anything! I'm currantly running the stable version of DCS and it's be fully updated.

Thanks,

Timex2

I think she is close to being ready for release. I've spent too much time on her already. I did what i could to correct the bow but it's not working out for me.  When i was stationed aboard her i don't remember ever seeing any stationary weapons so i may not add any 50 Cals unless requested.

My $0.02: Put whatever weapons on a ship that would make it useful for its intended purpose, while staying reasonably realistic. The ships in the game are not 100% realistic, but are reasonably useful for their intended purpose. If the 50 cals help make the ship more useful, then I'd say just add them, but if it does not affect the true usefulness of the ship, then it is not necessary.

Every Warship carries a wide variety of small arms Admiral, particularly machine guns of varies types, put whatever you like on her. The concept of the armed matelot charging down the gangway to rescue the fair maiden from the wicked warlord still persists in modern navies - mind - I think they might be hard pressed to find a real 'maiden' these days. 

The image of a matelot armed with a gun still scares the crap out of me - we used to say that the only place to be in a fire fight involving matelots was behind them. 

Only joking - all matelots are salts of the earth, just a tad dangerous with real ammunition !!!

With that said 50 CALs it is. Some weapons to protect against small armed boats.. 

I'm working on Bainbridge also. I'm actually working three models at once. I do this to keep from getting bored with one model.  I just put a lil effort into each one of them.

While trying to find some more Forrestal related stuff for the 1988 cruise and 1991 cruise, I ran across these postings that I thought might give a glimpse into some of the ships Forrestal was attached to on some of her cruises:

Twenty-nine years ago today September 27, 1991 as USS FORRESTAL CV-59 steamed in company with USS DEYO DD-989 and SPS ANDALUCIA F-72 operating west of Cyprus en route to Anatalya, Turkey. SOPA is Battle Force Sixth Fleet RADM Walter J. Davis, Jr., USN embarked in USS FORRESTAL CV-59. OTC is Commander Task Force 60 embarked in USS FORRESTAL CV-59. Commanding Officer Captain Robert S. Cole, USN

And some more:

Twenty-nine years ago today November 6, 1991 as USS FORRESTAL CV-59 sat anchored at Toulon, France in 138 feet of water to a mud bottom to the starboard anchor. SOPA is Battle Force Sixth Fleet RADM Walter J. Davis, Jr., USN embarked in USS FORRESTAL CV-59. Commanding Officer Captain Robert S. Cole, USN. Ships present include USS YORKTOWN CG-48 and USS DALE CG-19.

And more:
VA-176 KA-6D Intruder on board USS FORRESTAL 4 September 1988 Steaming in company with USS SEMMES DDG-18, USS SURABACHI AE-21, USS ELMER MONTGOMERY DE-1082, USS MILWAUKEE AOR-2, and USS DAHLGREN DLG-12 in the Atlantic Ocean from Benidorm, Spain enroute to Veste fjord, Norway.

And another, more somber one:

Twenty-nine years ago today July 19, 1991 as USS FORRESTAL steamed to the south of Crete. At 1430 hours, an A-6E Intruder from VA-176 crashed into the sea in international waters while on a routine training mission, about two miles northwest of Avgo Nisi, Crete. Both men ejected, and searchers rescued Lieutenant John W. Musaus the bombardier/navigator, who recovered from his ordeal with left arm and leg injuries at Naval Hospital, NS Rota. USS FORRESTAL, USS YORKTOWN CG-48, guided missile frigate USS DE WERT FFG-45, USS MILWAUKEE AOR-2 and Greek forces combed an area of 1,600 square miles for almost two-days, however, they could not recover the pilot, Lieutenant Steven J. Cullen, nor any debris from the downed aircraft.

Crewmen aboard the aircraft carrier USS FORRESTAL (CV-59) observe the West German frigate FGS KARLSRUHE (F-212) underway alongside the carrier during exercise West Wind '88

Hey Greg,

Sorry but i'm still working on the model. I haven't had a lot of time lately so it's been slower than expected. It's coming!

Tomcat-Flyer what is the biggest difference between the SH-60B and the HH-60H? i'm sure it's possible. 

 

Thanks Admiral, thanks once again for all your hard work! You really have a talent, that's for sure! I would love to creat Ships and aircraft, but sadly I don't have the computer knowledge!

Thanks Greg! I appreciate it!

There's an IOWA Class out there already. If i had that model i could easily add the Tomahawks to it. Not sure whose the Arthur! 

I will be releasing the USS Bowen within the next hour. I've already put too much energy into it.. Somethings i just can't correct on her. I hope you all Enjoy her. I will continue working on the USS Bainbridge!!

Admiral - Hawkeye has the original Iowa stuff, I think he did try to make a modern version of it with Tomahawks etc but I dont know if he ever finished it, the conversion to add the missiles required a lot of extra work on the superstructure and removal of stuff from the Quarterdeck etc, it was a big job. 

That said ... with your skills everything is possible, it would be a terrific addition.  I did make a start on updating the skins for it, removing all the WW2 markings etc and did a quick post modern version for him, if you go ahead let me know and I will find that stuff again and finish it.

Super excited for some older US Cruisers! I really wish there were some Virginia class models that weren't so expensive. At least from 88 and 91 cruises though looks like early Ticonderoga class were assigned such as Yorktown. Looks like we also need at least some skins of the older Ticos if not some mods to possibly backdate some systems.

Looks like Adams class DDG and Farragut class DLG/DDG were also in the mix. There's so many classes before we slimmed down to the Tico/Burke/OHP classes.

Oh, and if you saw my comments above there were some NATO ships Forrestal operated with on exercises and cruises. Looks like there's a Bremen class frigate model out there, haven't seen the Spanish F72 though.

I was going to upload the model from the original 2016 mod, but sounds like you have even better one for the Iowa class. I've been getting back into Mission Editor and having a battleship would really bring the Persian Gulf missions to life.

Working the Iowa is a very big job. The weapons alone will take a long time to animate and code. I've found that once you start altering a model. It's very easy to mess something up and it would be just as difficult to repair it. I would rather create an Aircraft Carrier before i would create an Iowa Model. I praise the person that created it.

I remember in the late 80s i use to see all those ships in Norfolk, VA. All lined up onbase.

USS Bowen FF-1079 has been released. Page 1 #22. Enjoy guys!

USS Bowen (DE-1079/FF-1079) was a Knox-class frigate of the United States Navy. She was named for Vice Admiral Harold G. Bowen, Sr. (1883–1965), former chief of the Naval Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research, who was deceased at the time of her commissioning. Admiral Bowen's son and namesake, Harold G. Bowen, Jr., who also retired as a vice admiral, presided over the U.S. Navy's 1969 inquiry into the Pueblo incident.

Totally understandable, I was serious about donating, a community gofundme could be set up, I never expect someone to work for free and you've already done so much for the community. I primarily play DCS for the carrier fighters and multi-role, but the missions that one can create in ME are so immersive and there was a huge gap in the naval side and you've helped to fill that.
