![[ img ]](http://s1016.photobucket.com/user/craigh666/media/New%20Navy/USSCushing.png.html) USS Cushing TB-1 (1890's) The Cushing was built primarily for the USN to experiment with torpedoes and learn how to use them. She changed colors over time but spent quite a lot of it's career unarmed. ![[ img ]](http://s1016.photobucket.com/user/craigh666/media/New%20Navy/USSCushingwithbowtorp.png.html) USS Cushing TB-1 (1890) Near as I can tell, the Cushing was originally armed. The bow torpedo was removed pretty quickly as it was a flooding hazard. CraigH |

Back with a couple new drawings: ![[ img ]](http://s1016.photobucket.com/user/craigh666/media/New%20Navy/FD%20MacKenzie.png.html) USA, USS MacKenzie TB-17 (1898) ![[ img ]](http://s1016.photobucket.com/user/craigh666/media/New%20Navy/USSFarragut%20TB-11.png.html) USA, USS Farragut TB-11 (1898) ![[ img ]](http://s1016.photobucket.com/user/craigh666/media/New%20Navy/Copy%20of%20Thornycroft2ndClassTB-STRIPPED.png.html) AUS, Lonsdale & Nepean 2nd Class Torpedo Boat (1882) Thornycroft built a number of designs for export. This particular hull style appears in several navies and colonies all over the planet. They could be equipped with a number of features including Spar Torpedos, Dann's Dropping Gear (as pictured) or with bow mounted torpedo tubes. Boilers could appear in 2 variations: single or twin smokestacks (single pictured here, double on the 1st page of this thread). Color is a guess in this drawing. The details and color are from a surviving builders model. CraigH |
