Been gone for a while. Had some serious boat and sail issues for a couple of boats in my barn.

Back now, and am able to provide advice as always.

Ciao.

I have a question about scenario designing.....when does it end????!!!!!!!

[:'(]

For the individual designer, I'd guess it ends at death!

Oh, how nice. A hot bath, your friends gathered about your incipient corpse, nymphs gamboling about your expiring body, while you open your veins ... how utterly Roman.

So much nicer than that barbaric Japanese sepukku thingy; eeew, two cuts, while you're awake, letting your intestines spill out onto the floor? Yuck. I like the hot bath and nymph thing a lot better.

Wonder what a gamboling nymph looks like?[:D]

I'd green button him....but then i wouldn't enjoy mind numbing discussions about the C2-Mod cargo Wigit ver .2988pi APA's....

Play me some Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb Meistro.....[:)]

You don't even know who Maxfield Parrish was, do you, LogBoy?[:'(]

The Painter or famous Orc in Worlds of Warcraft? [:'(]

Yes.[:'(]

googled it...

Oh,
 
I thought he meant a sexy chick at Monte Carlo!!!

Well, this isn’t gamboling nymphs, it’s more like a flashing flamenco merenge. Well … Ole.

M‘kay, since this is Scenario Design, and we’re designing a scenario, we are looking for a Philippine Cutter, named Arayat.

We have a few Arayats from reasonable sources;

Arayat, Spanish Bulusan (Belusan) Class gunboat, 201 tons, 113’ 10”, built Cavite in 1888 for Spain.

USS Samar (US Arayat Class), 243 tons, 121’, built Canacao in 1887 for Spain. Believed to be ex Spanish Mindanao Class.

Japanese took over some, PG-37, 39, and 41 (ex Callao, Pampanga, and Samar)

Then we got some typically pathetic Arayat references from the Internet. Several references to an Arayat (IX-134), sometimes as a 900 ton tanker (IX-134) built in 1888 (wrong!), sometimes as a 900 ton tanker (IX-134) built by Fairfield, Glasgow, in 1918 (better), sometimes as a 903 ton Philippine Revenue Cutter, built 1931, sunk Dec. 27, 1941 (1/3 right).

Lots of confusion. I’m looking for the shallow draft, Bulusan (Belusan) Class, Spanish gunboat. I could use an Almendares Class, if available. Also thought she might be close to the Mindanao Class (USS Panay as example).

Anyone have ideas?? Pics are prefered, but if anyone can give differential specs between a Mindanao and a Bulusan (with topsides), that would be almost as nice.

Well, I had a look in Conway's Volume 1, but for some reason they didn't find any of them worthy of an illustration... Sorry.

Anyway, isn't this too puny to be worth including?

The spelling indicates the name is for a "mountain" - more like a butte - prominant in the area of Clark AAF.

I am a few thousand miles from home but will see if I can find her in my files next week

Arayat is a town in the northern portion province of Pampanga. It was named for Fernando de Arayat, a Spanish encomiendero. The mountain is actually named Sinukuan, or Bandak Alaya.

Obviously, I’m not looking for mountains. Suggest you read the post. The post says:

Please either stay on topic, or go away. Thank you.

That built in Fairfield only in 44 got the Arayat name
