Within
her design the utmost care has been taken in fine details, a few examples
are, the funnel has been carefully shaped and fitted with internal filters
plus the exhaust gas speed has been uprated to ensure that no soot falls on
the decks. A flange is fitted around the top edge of the funnel to trap water
and this is piped down inside to prevent the top of the funnel becoming
stained. The funnel also acts as a derrick post for the two booms, To
preserve the lines the eye plates hinge back into the casing when not in use
and cover plates are fitted. Other fine points are the freeing ports/ bulwark
doors are open at sea as required but can be closed when not in use to
preserve the unbroken line of the bulwarks. The front of the bridge has been
designed in a wind tunnel to prevent any strong wind eddies forming. |
