Hello again Phil,

If the gig is considered to be part of the 300 ton hull my calculations leave 3 tons of space with and without drop tanks provided that one of the PA barbettes and two of the staterooms are dropped.

I guess if they ditched the tanks (sounds to me as if they aren't the usual 'drop tanks'), then, in order to make J5, they'll have to ditch the 'armed gig' also.
*Unless* this is considered a sort of 'conformal' config in which the 'gig' is considered part of the hull.

Hello all,

The CT Gazelle is built on a 300 ton hull that per CT Supplement 7 pages 30 and 34 the 20 ton armed gig is "slung beneath the ship, with interlocking hatches provided" and " A reception passage (9) allows access to the ship's gig, which is carried in brackets on the ventral surface."

This suggests that the gig is carried externally versus internally, if this is the case would the hull starts out as 320 tons since the drop tanks add 100 tons?
