Still working on the color design and one- color design approval. Shirts can be short or long sleeved, XL and larger will have price differences.

C. SSMA Journal (3rd Qtr., July 2018) featured several St Louis Admirals R/C Model Boat Club presentations:

1) The SSMA Journal editor (Mike Toole) has started publishing our Admirals Boat Club past presentations. The SSMA Journal publication of Admirals Boat Club presentations began in the recent 3rd Quarter Journal (July 2018) with continuing Admirals Boat Club presentation publications planned for subsequent SSMA quarterly Journals, the next being in September 2018, and so forth.

2) In the July 2018 Journal, the SSMA editor explains that this and upcoming Journal issues will include Admirals Boat Club past concept and application presentations for R/C Model Boats including:

a. Propellers (including R/C boat terms) (Kent Morgan) b. Electric Motors (Bob Keeler) c. Batteries (Michael Benefield) d. Electric Servos (Bob Keeler)

3) The current SSMA Journal Quarterly July 2018 has published 3 Journal-pages of the Admirals Boat Club Battery presentation (about two-thirds of the presentation) and a short list of the Electric Motor presentation references. Both presentations will be continued or completed in the September 2018 SSMA Quarterly Journal.

4) In addition, the SSMA Journal editor will also publish information of interest in future SSMA Quarterly Journals from the Admirals Boat Club Sailing Presentation by Michael Benefield last Fall and from his Admirals Boat Club Newsletter Sailing Article, “Spray” (from earlier last year).

a. The “Spray” sailing article in the Admirals Boal Club Newsletter will provide SSMA Journal information related to actual full-scale sailing boats (i.e.., “Spray”).

b. The SSMA Quarterly Journal will also include information on sailing in the model boating world, especially the 1- Meter class. Information in both the full scale and model boat world will include wind and sea nautical forces acting on the sailboat, and more.

5) The SSMA Journal editor goes on to say that the Admirals Boat Club has an outstanding program of presentations (chapters) which include future presentation topics (see item 2.B. below) to be presented to the Boat Club members at their up-and-coming meetings.

a. The SSMA Journal editor also explains that this is such a good idea that he is starting a similar program at his home model boat club.

b. Your Commodore concurs completely with the presentation views of the SSMA Journal editor … it is an outstanding program and such a good idea. Your Commodore has polled more than half of the Admirals Boat Club membership about their views with respect to the Admirals Club Presentation Program as conducted so far and with future presentations planned. A vast majority of those polled (including members actively attending Club meetings) heartily endorsed the Admirals Boat Club presentation program to date and encouraged continuation of future presentation topics as planned. Let’s put it to a vote: Commodore Jane made a motion to continue presentations; seconded by Luther Disher. The 100% ayes have it. Motion passed.

2. Secretary’s Meeting Minutes Report – Bob Keeler: The 11 July 2018 meeting minutes were published/printed in the 27 July 2018 Broadside newsletter. Motion to approve the meeting minutes as printed was made by Phil Frisch, seconded by Russ Wick. Motion approved.

Meeting: 9 August 2018 Gather at 6:30 p.m. Meeting begins at 7:00 p.m.

The Workshop of Bill Kammermeyer 1533 Carman Rd Ballwin, MO 63021 636-230-3921

July Meeting Highlights:

As part of an overall review of our USS St. Louis ironclad topsides, we focused on the forward 45-degree casement sub- structure with the brass 42-pdr Rifled Cannon Barrel on its carriage dry-fit in the centerline gun port. (Photos 1 & 2). We then proceeded to outline the remaining process for constructing the removable center section of this casement which originally consisted of a solid stack-up of vertical beams (Photo 3) between the outer sides of the P & S gun ports covered by similar stacked horizontal beams, and then vertical iron armor plates, which totaled up to a thickness of 25-inches. Our model will duplicate this construction on the starboard side past the centerline structure (Photo 4) and then diminish by layers on the port side to reveal the underlying structure. This section will remain removable to maintain access to the gun deck until final stages of model assembly. We also reviewed the positioning of Vince & Tim’s galley stove and associated furnishings on the gun deck (Photo 5) and Bill’s exhaust stack thru and above the Hurricane deck (Photo 6 &7).

This was followed by a second dry-fit of Bob’s port & starboard main steam engine cylinder wooden cores in the engine room, on their support ramps (Photos 8 & 9).

We spent a considerable amount of time discussing Tim & Vince’s problems cutting out the thin triangular strips of .030” thick Formica substrates for the pilothouse armor plates and after a few experiments, it was decided that rather than sawing or cutting, a belt sander was the best solution and Bill graciously agreed to provide them a 1-inch table model belt sander to use for this purpose.

“USS St. Louis” Project Status:

The first stage of the bow casement, consisting of the vertical beams and gun port framing for the removable center section has been completed (Photo 10). The red beam edging indicates intentional disruption of structural members to reveal underlying or internal model features. The second stage will consist of attaching a layer of stacked-up horizontal beams which include a similar diminishing effect as their ends near the port side.

Vince and Tim have made excellent progress shaping and fitting the Formica substrates for the pilothouse armor plates (Photo 11 & 12). They also have added .002” thick copper foil to the substrates for one of the octagonal pilothouse’s sides as seen in these photos. The foil will be chemically blackened and secured in place using the simulated ¾” bolts and washers previously stamped from No. 18 Escutcheon pins. The pilothouse has also been dry-fit to its location on the Hurricane deck to verify its proper relationships to the ventilation funnels, galley stove exhaust stack, skylight and forward casement. (Photos 13 & 14) Bill has developed and fabricated a series of improved steam pipe shut-off valves and control wheels (Photo 15) which will be integrated into his steam distribution piping system

Activity will now shift to construction of the stern 45-degree casement and laying planking on the stern deck itself. As a pre-requisite, we decided to revisit the stern deck nautical operations, equipment locations, and functional geometry before committing to casement and decking configurations. None of the existing published aft deck drawings appear to depict a completely satisfactory operating geometry that is also compatible with the few existing contemporary photographs. This includes the 4 mooring bitts, 4 tiller control chain rollers, tiller arc of travel, tiller support roller track and bulwark mooring line guides. At the heart of this issue, it appears that the tiller was lengthened sometime during City Class ironclad construction, but the resulting mechanism geometry wasn’t adequately documented. Since the USS Cairo iron tiller (Photo 16) was recovered with the USS Cairo and a photograph of the USS DeKalb (Photo 17) locates the bitts, our stern deck reconstruction utilizes these two features to locate the remaining elements to establish rudder travel which was reportedly inadequate in any event. National Park Service (NPS) drawing dated 1967 for the USS Cairo (Photo 18) depicts a short tiller (Colored orange to which we have appended its actual length in green) and its resulting geometry. Our reconstruction geometry is over-laid in red upon the NPS drawing dated 1981 of the USS Cairo (Photo 19) and depicts the maximum rudder travel achievable using the recovered tiller length and will remain the basis for our USS St. Louis model (Photo 20).

Note: For those interested in more detail on this project, we have been creating a scratch build log on the ”NRG Model Ship World Forum” web site under the title “USS St. Louis” Ironclad. This forum can be browsed by anyone and accessed for full participation by simply registering a “user name” and “password” on line.

We still have a few unassigned interesting model subassemblies for anyone interested. Please contact me if you are interested in this aspect of our ironclad project

I hope to see you there,

Howie

Russ Wick Article: “Part 2: Research and Investigation”: USS Lexington (CC-1, a Lexington-Class ): Designing and Building a 1:96 Scale, RC Model Ship

Over the past 50 plus years I have read numerous books and periodicals that contained information regarding the Lexington Class ships and other WW 1 and WW 2 vintage U.S. Navy warships. The Lexington class were originally conceived in the latter stages of WW 1 for the U.S. Navy. This was in response to then current British, German, and Japanese naval thinking of producing a class of high speed, heavily armed, capital ships to provide protection against an adversary’s commerce raiders and as well as a scouting force for the main their respective fleets. As originally designed, the Lexington’s were to have ten 14inch guns in four turrets, mounted two turrets forward and two turrets aft, in an arrangement similar to the recently completed USS Oklahoma and USS Nevada – BUT – with a maximum speed in excess of 33 knots. As the designs evolved, the ten 14inch guns were replaced by eight 16inch guns in four 2gun turrets, two forward and two aft similar to the USS Colorado Class battleships. The major advance was that the guns were 50 caliber (bore x barrel length) which gave them additional range and striking power. The maximum speed was to still be in the range of 33 knots, about 37.5 land miles per hour, for a ship the length, breadth, and comparable to the battleship USS Missouri BB 63. The general design of the Lexington class battlecruisers was also considerably influenced by the design of Great Britain’s battlecruiser Hood. Both the Lexington class and the Hood had a waterline length of 850 feet and a similar beam. Both designs mounted 8 main battery guns in four, two-gun turrets, two turrets forward, two turrets aft. Both designs had the largest power plants ever built to that point in time, driving the ships at well over 30 knots. Both ships employed sloping side armor and anti- bulges for improved protection against gunfire and torpedo attack from enemy ships and submarines. The Lexington Class Battlecruisers were laid down in the early 1920’s and two were approximately 25 % complete when construction was suspended pending the outcome of the Naval Treaty of 1922. As a result of this “arms limitation treaty”, all six battlecruisers were cancelled. Two of the incomplete hulls, the Lexington and Saratoga, were permitted to be converted to “Airplane Carriers”, thus beginning the process of the decline of the battleship and its replacement by the as the main naval weapons system for the remainder of the 20th century and into the 21st. I have chosen to model the USS Lexington (CC-1) as a Battlecruiser, as an “artist interpretation” (see illustration below) as to what these ships might have looked like for service in WW 2 following the attack. This interpretation assumes that these ships would have been at sea during the time of the attack escorting the carriers such as the Enterprise because of their inherent speed advantage over the main battleship fleet then anchored in Pearl Harbor. Thus, these ships would have escaped damage from the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. Wikipedia provides an excellent summary of the design, construction, and history of the Lexington Class Battlecruisers and subsequent conversion to aircraft carriers.

GENERAL INFORMATION The St. Louis Admirals are proud to announce their 29th Annual Regatta, again this year at the Boat House in Forest Park, St Louis. This event is open to the public and anyone interested in model boating at no charge. The only cost for registered Regatta participants is for the display and/or trophy competition for their boats at the show. As usual, we are inviting electric and sail (sorry, no gas powered or live steam boats) to join in the fun.

REGISTRATION AND DISPLAY Registration starts at 1100 hours (11:00 a.m.) until noon Saturday, September 29. The Registration Fee remains the same as it has been --- $10 for the first boat, $10 for a second boat, and all additional boats will be FREE. The fun will begin at 11:00 a.m., last until 1600 (4:00pm.) Awards will be presented at 1500 (3:00 p.m.) on Saturday. On Sunday, September 30, we will start at 1000 hours (10:00 a.m.) until 1400 hours (2:00 p.m.).

A Regatta Committee Official will be present at registration to assist in explaining this year’s Regatta information and rules. That Official will determine in which of the three assigned table areas your boat will be placed:

Kit or Scratch Built To Be Judged Kit or Scratch Built To Be Displayed but Not Judged Ready to Run /Purchased (No Judging)

A participation plaque will be given to each registered boat .

Once a boat has been assigned to an area by a Regatta Official, the boat must stay in that area. There are no secondary boat classes (e.g. tugs, submarines, etc.).

Ready to run boats are welcome for display and sailing on the lake. Our objective is to encourage all Captains to run boats and have a good time. We want a lot of boats out on the lake and also to share information with the public to put on a good show.

We will have our display area in the Boat House tent this year.

RADIO CONTROL Only valid radios per FCC Regulations will be able to operate a boat. For all frequencies other than 2.4 GHz, please be sure your correct frequency is marked on your transmitter with a flag and that you have attached a name tag with phone number. There will be no transmitter impound. A frequency board for 75MHz will be provided. Captains must determine if their frequency is in use. If not, he will mark that channel as being used on the frequency board. Upon completion of sailing, he will remove his marker, thus making that channel available for the next captain. Boat captains will be responsible for protecting their own transmitters. JUDGING The following trophies will be awarded: Best of Show 2nd Place 3rd Place

Each boat must qualify as a fully operational R/C Model, as determined by club officials. Only boats that have been scratch built or kit built by the Regatta participant will be eligible for a trophy. You must sail your boat with a Regatta Committee member observing to be eligible for a trophy.

Boats will be judged by all paid participants, with Regatta Chairman breaking ties. PLEASE USE ONLY THE OFFICIAL 2018 REGISTRATION

All inquiries regarding this year’s Regatta should be made via email to Bob Keeler at: [email protected] HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THE REGATTA!!!
