Fictional Patrol Vessel for the Basque Country

[Regg]

Hi!
I love drawing ships. Therefore, I want to propose another version of the ship "proyecto 677".
This variant is distinguished by a reinforced composition of anti-aircraft weapons. The torpedo tube must be dismantled.
Instead of one 76-mm cannon, put a 40-mm Vickers 40/40 in twin mounting (Spanish for "pom-pom"). The guns was produced in the Basque Country by Placencia de las Armas.
(The name of this ship was invented by me).

Secret Unbuilt Projects is for real projects only, not for personal speculation.

This is the section for FAKES, theoretical, FAKE and generic projects, which is what the OP's project is - a deliberate fake.

It was originally posted in the Naval Projects thread about the real ships, here:

Just to clarify for everyone, I moved this from the naval section earlier today.

I fully agree with you.
Unfortunately, there are no drawings (drawings) of "project 677" in the work of the Spanish author.
My first drawing corresponds to the text indicated in the work of the Spanish author, which cannot be said about the second one - this is my fiction.
Thank you!

...Instead of one 76-mm cannon, put a 40-mm Vickers 40/40 in twin mounting (Spanish for "pom-pom")...

The listed guns were available in Spain.
All of them (76/45 mm Mod. SS and Vickers 40/40 mm) were manufactured by Placencia de las Armas.
True, Vickers 40/40 intended for cruisers of the "Canarias" type and there were few of them (only 8 mounts). In addition, they were unreliable and the Basques put them on the shore.
Since the 76/45 mm Mod.SS is too heavy (3 tons), it can be replaced by a 76/34 mm Mod. FF (2 tons).

If you have noticed, the armament includes 20mm Oerlikon automatic cannons.
These twin guns are not my invention.
These autocannon really existed during the Spanish Civil War and were in service with the Republican army.
They are known in Spain as "Oerlikon Modelo Antigua" or "Oerlikon Modelo Boliviano".
