                               First of the sea-boats added.
Trumpeter depict these with no visible means of support which is a bit mean.
I didn't have anything amongst my generic stuff anywhere near the right length to represent the pulleys
so I've had to resort to a bit of re-engineering, not the neatest of jobs but at normal viewing distance, you probably won't notice. 
                           In use the davits would be swung outboard,  with the  strops  released  and the boat lowered into the water
                     To bring the boat back aboard, reverse the process, lift the boat out of the water, swing the davits back
inboard then secure the boat in place with the strops so it can't destroy itself when the ship rolls, as they do.
There's anothe like this on the opposite side, the some more with different davits. This could take some time.
Hey-ho.

More seaboats added, torpedoe-net booms and one or two bits and bobs.

Have you ever thought of modelling one with the nets deployed?

As an ex-fisherman, you should know all about nets.
