I was playing around with some ideas for a rebuilt version of HMS Captain today, assuming she didn't sink and was subsequently modified to improve her stability and sea keeping. I have a surplus 1/2400th scale model that I was given, so cut off the top of the masts and added cut down military tops from the Brigade Models Aeronef range. I'm thinking of renaming her HMS Caesar, to avoid Captain Cowper Coles any more embarrassment, taking a leaf out of the French book by giving her a new role as an armoured turret ram, possibly for the defence of Malta.
Ah, HMS Captain... About the only way to improve stability would be to turn her into a trimaran.
