Nuestra Señora de Atocha had been delayed in Veracruz before she could rendezvous in Havana with the vessels of the Tierra Firme (Mainland) Fleet. The treasure, which arrived by mule in Panama City, was so immense that it took two months to record and load it onto the Atocha. After still more delays in Havana, what was ultimately a 28-ship convoy did not manage to depart for Spain until 4 September 1622, six weeks late. Each ship in the convoy carried crew, soldiers, passengers, provisions, and treasures from all over South America.The Atocha alone carried cargo whose estimates range between $250 and $500 million, including silver from Bolivia, Peru and Mexico, gold and emeralds from Colombia, and pearls from Venezuela, as well as more common goods including worked silverware, tobacco, and bronze cannons.
In the second day of its voyage from Havana, the convoy was overtaken by a hurricane in the Florida Straits. By the morning of 6 September, eight of the ships had sunk and their remains lay scattered from Marquesas Key to the Dry Tortugas.The Nuestra Señora de Atocha had lost all of her 265 crew and passengers except for three sailors and two slaves

I would have got a 2 again, but my fingers deliberately put correct all letters in wrong order. Sadly I had to chop my right hand off in punishment, I now need someone to 3D print me a new hand......😂

I'm not sure if I'm right, however alot of the answers appear to be from the American " Question of the day" maybe they have different techniques.
Also an answer earlier in the week was Harbor again the American spelling and not Harbour the British spelling.

Mull of kintyre is a land mass and no connection to water, in fact none of the answers are right.
If these questions are based on the American question of the day again they have got it wrong.

Cruise missiles can be launched underwater the same as a ballistic missile by a VLS vertical launch system.
With the standardisation of torpedo tubes, cruise. Missiles can also be launched this way.
The UK has Torpedo tube launch Tomahawks Cruise Missiles.

Thought that is was the answer, if not why not?8
As early as 1775, Machias had made a name for itself. "In June, on the 12 of June the first American naval battle of the American Revolution, the Lexington of the seas, the first USS naval battle fought off Machias.

What you could do, is use 2 or 3 ..2s lipos wired in parallel giving out 14.8 or 22.2v then through 3 seperate buck converters down to say 12v then through 3 ESC's (One for each motor)at least that's my thinking.

All 31 sea areas all get an individual name, so somebody on land or aboard a vessel just has to listen out for the relevant forecast they are in or going too and they get the weather forecast they need

My 2x 9v PP9 are rated at 8800Mah each battery.
My 2x 7.4v 2s 5500Mah each battery.
🤔😀😀
The 2x 9v will power the ESC and motor.
The 2cx 2s will provide 14.8v..3v..6v..12v possibly, any one see an issue with this set u please?

At present it's just forward planning, my motor looks like it us a Coreless brushed, i realise now that it's totally useless for the job, j will have to revert to a gearboxed motor that will give me 30 rpm. I will just have to redesign the mounting when I get to that part, but thanks for all your help.👍

For the Radar I have got the 4mm brushless motor to be hidden in some plastic tube, I can't really incorporate a motor with a gearbox to make it look authentic, is it not possible to connect 100 ohmn resistor or one off suitable size to the power line to reduce the motor speed from 48,000 rpm down to say around 30 rpm.
I am not brilliant with mathematical calculations. Otherwise can I not just connect in a potentiometer to control the speed of the Antenna rotations.?🤔

Just to reassure me, for a 4ft boat is there any maximum weight I should be aiming for, as I don't want to sink when I get to first launching, also I want to fit at some point a scratch built radar, I'm using a 0480 micro brushless motor rated at 3v and 48,000 RPM at about 30ma, how can I slow it down to a more realistic speed please.

Robotic site appears a little over my head, I'd like to just know if anybody knows how I can connect it to a rudder servo to mimic the movement of the rudder matched to movement os the steering wheel, if its at all possible.
