Real-World Vessel Crew Safety

All my drawings are based on inspirations from reading and studying publicly available documents, assembling and then dissecting kit models, and, more than anything else, using my imagination to make a kind of ship style I would like to serve aboard.

Also, since I visited WW II era and later period naval and merchant ships from my childhood and before and after I served 4 years in the USN, I did not see, handle, or create any classified blueprints of ships or submarines, built or conceptualized. (The only classified matter I did handle was message traffic and telecommunications publications, and some cryptographic devices in my duties as a Radioman, which had no bearing or impact upon my hobby.

Moreover, various officers and enlisted personnel of both ships on which I served saw and praised my interests, but no officers set restrictions upon my hobby.)
 


And, just in case some (long-term-memory) readers are wondering... No, I did not lift this "internationalism" idea from any members of the US government who in 2003 floated their own ideas that didn't go far enough to appeal to a world that wants less hegemony and more stability and more internationalization. I had my own ideas well prior to 2001 (probably influenced by Sci-Fi shows depicting future humans operation without national identity, but global identity), but was too busy doing other things and didn't pursue the Internet (singular form) in a meaningful way.

What distinguishes my ideas from those of others is that I espoused the idea of gratually depriving ALL nations of singular control of global resources and also of deprecating "power-projecting nations' flag-waving navies to nothing more than own-shore coastal patrol units". (That is not, in the real world, practical or coming any time soon. But, in the mean time, experiments can be tried.) And, I do espouse the idea is the international crewing of these ships, intentionally eroding the outdated, aged notion that there cannot be loyalty to peace where internationally-mixed crewing is concerned.
