She would pass the spot where PRINCESS ANNE was launched on 15 May 1973. Not that anyone would know.

A very 'Angular' design, looks like curves have gone out of fashion, cheap to build admittedly but there is nothing like a nice set of curves to the Superstructure the Bow and the Stern. Did the "Uni" Students design it themselves? Must have raided the Lego box :(
A set of Compasses would have helped, God knows what they would have made of a set of 'Odd Legs' :)

Sharp corners may well be easy to Weld/Butt together but sharp corners on a Ships Superstructure or the Messroom table can cause injuries to the body when a vessel is rocking and rolling in bad weather. Bring back curves :) or in this vessel's case the Wartime Utility marking.
