A search of that name on the internet shows picture of a modern vessel built in the 1960's. Where can I find information on the original ship SS Canberra? Anything you can do to piece together this part of our history would be greatly appreciated.

You're right, these look extremely good! The Typhoon has the correct stern on it! I wonder who will distribute these in the US & Europe (& Oz, of course!) Tom Dougherty ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) From "keith bender" <propmeup@comcast.net> Subject SSN 21 propulsor Hi SMMLies Tom is right, take a look at the MK 48 torpedo. the propelling blades are a different count but it will give you very good idea of the shape of the Seawolf propulsor blades excluding the propeller itself.

Rest of ship G45 Pennant numbers black Jun 1944-Dec 1944 Home Fleet emergency destroyer scheme G45, B15 and G20 Pennant numbers white Dec 1944-Feb 1946 Overall light grey G45 Pennant numbers black Note these dates are provisional. My book The Kellys contains a lot of photos illustrating these schemes and if you can find a copy this would be a good place to look.
