tartan-ninja Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Hello all these pictures are of a NASTY Class boat wrecked in Campbelltown Loch across from the NATO jetty... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tjeld_class_patrol_boat A Norwegian Tjeld class boat they were used all over NATO and for famously by the Americans in Vietnam... powered by the awsome Napier Deltic diesel engines.. This one was bought with four of her sisters in Norway and taken to Troon they lay there for many years in the harbour/marina then sold in the early 90's...one was returned to Norway, another to the south on England (Cornwall) and again restored, and this poor thing ended up here... Here is a link for more info on the class... http://www.ptfnasty.com/ Edited December 29, 2009 by tartan-ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Sad end for such a high performance boat ! Glad to read that a couple are preserved and still have the Deltics fitted ! Must be awesome at speed ! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartan-ninja Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yes Andy fantastic looking boats..My Dad took me to see them when they were in Troon Marina when i was a kid...I thought they were Dark Class UK Boats for years than i started to look them up to see where they went..a sad end to one of the old girls.

martylee Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 You gotta be kidding me! I went to Campbelltown two months ago and I did miss this one? Too bad! Also too bad the state it is in. Where is it located? Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
