I have made several not promising but not abandoned extruded hull plates as you mentioned. I'm holding off until I rework the portholes to have the "eyebrows". Simple enough to give the x axis change. The Flowers were ballasted aft and had a deeper draught at the aft than fore keel. That was changed in the improved flower long F'csl'e. But that doesn't change how they sat in the water. I'll test that today. What I found out and changed either in the conversion or in SHV itself the flower corvette was 3 meters too short. But not overall length. The "cruiser stern" was cut off. I had to resize the sterns length to make up the shortfall. The width is off by under 1-2cm so I left it as acceptable. The Stern I did as early Flowers both RN and RCN had minesweeping gear. And the correct RCN version will have "Offset" Mark II DC racks and a squared off stern. RCN versions will have the relocation of the Galley, and Pom-Pom Platform. And the Flagstaff off the Stern. I have alot of work left in detailing. Deck fittings and fixtures ( drains, plugs, vents, pumps, Fire fighting equipment, tools, and axes and the supports that ring the main deck ) i have to finish the bridge, chocks for MKVII Depth Charge and Arbor. Chocks for 4 inch shells that ring the 4 inch Platform. And whatever else I can think of. In the U-Boat war being attacked by a Flower was more than just by chance, it was the reality. Every Escort Group had 6 Flower Class Corvettes and only two Destroyers. As the RNVR, and RCNVR crews got more experienced the tommies ****ting on ou heads grew more deadly.
