A photo of the Ger/CL/1919 light cruiser
This is a photo of my radical light cruiser, the Ger/CL/1919 design that I created about 1973.
Jim... I'm confused what these are that we are looking at. Are they drawings made to look like photos? Are they real photos of real ships? If they are not real, they are convincing enough that I'd think it important to spell out the fantasy and not risk causing fabulous misperceptions!
I spent 11 years on active duty in the navy. Half was as an enlisted man and half as an officer. My Dad had interested me in the navy and ships, when I was young. I found that I was attracted to doing research, regardless of topic, although much of that research has been in the fields of naval and military history. My Dad was also an artist, and got me drawing and painting since I was three. Much of my work consists of portraits of military and naval historical figures, as well as ships and tanks.
