Adamc1776: USS United States and Wreckage

The USS United States the final ship from my US Navy box.  The United Stats awas the ship whos building was directly overseen by Joshua Humphreys in Phladelphia.   She was active durring the Quasi-War serving as flagship for John Barry.

She did further good service durring the Barbary Wars but her great moment of glory was during the War of 1812 when she defeated the Macedonian in a single ship action. This exploit along with a similar victory by the USS Constitution rocked the Royal navy to its core.  The USS United States was blockaded for the rest the war but her crew helped turn the tide on the great lakes. 

The United States has this intersting poop deck feture that doesn't apear on the other two ships of the same type (President and Constitution) at first I thought this must be some creativity on the part of Warlord...

but an early drawing does show such a feature.

The figure head seems to be two woman or angles and I really wish I had an alturnative option to use.  

The sturn looks sharp though the window details didn't full show up.  I'm out of ships for now but hope to have some more to paint soon

I've used some of my leftover bits and pieces to make some wreckage markers to indicate wreaked ships.
