@Ura-Ki Trivial note: interesting that most of the major sail-training ships of the world are all built to the same basic blueprints, isn't it? Between Eagle, the Russians' ship, the Mexican one and a few from South American navies there's a common heritage of a particular turn-of-20th-century German design that was refined for another batch in IIRC the '50s.

Kind of like the irony of Japan taking the basic engineering of their H8K flying boat, a weapon intended to take lives in WWII, and redeveloping it into a platform for saving them in the Shin Maywa PS-1 and US-1... (Sorry, History major and former dabbler in Engineering. These things happen... )

All modern (Post 1849) hybrid Clipper Ships ( Trade winds) were based on a Scottish Design with the advanced "Clipper Bow" otherwise known as the Atlantic bow! Very fast in a following wind and sea, but dangerous to handle in a cross tac. Check out the U.S.R.C.S Bear, the THE most famous of all U.S.R.C.S ships and certainly the most colorful history!

Happily and proudly served on the Jarvis (WHEC 725) and the Mellon (WHEC 717). SN to TC... which TC is long gone now.
Spent many cold patrols in Alaskan waters....
