There are 3 intenticle bits on the deck that i can't identify..They are plates with an odd shape of a semi-circle or half moon shape in them..Two are located at the aft.spare torpedo stowage,one on either side. The third is on the bow directly in line with the fwd.spare torpedo stowage.They appear to be used for rigging when loading or unloading torpedos. Can anyone tell me more about these

HI RON..YOUR NOT ALONE ON THE "TWO BUMPS" ISSUE. I'VE TALKED WITH MANY OTHERS IN THE MODELING COMMUNITY ABOUT THESE. EVERYONE MOVES THEM BECAUSE THE LOCATION IS NOT ACCURATE ON THE KIT, BUT TO DATE THEY'RE A MYSTERY. I, MYSELF EVEN JOKED THAT THEY WERE FOR TURN SIGNALS OR SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. IT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION,THOUGH AND PERHAPS YOUR QUERY WILL BRING SOME FRESH INFORMAT
