My current fleet (as I can remember it): HAPPY HUNTER tug-41" long 30 lbs., 
HMCS WINNIPEG minesweeper-60 long, 35lbs., WEISEL fast patrol boat-42" long, 
10 lbs., SUSAN O live steam tug-19" long, 4 lbs., PT-109 PT boat-48" long 
(not completed).
 
Of special interest: USS DALLAS SSN 700 a 1/48 scale LOS ANGELES class nuke 
measuring 90" long and displacing 125 when submerged. Also, a damaged USS 
SCORPION SSN 589 suffering damage from an underwater explosion several years 
ago. And the current project: French Navy battleship RICHELIEU: 101.625" 
long, 13.54" beam, displacing 120-130 lbs.
 
I don't have enough time (on this call) to post "the whole nine yards". Where 
do you want to start?
