What they are is very highly crafted models-many of what were used for aircraft recognition are far more basic, reflecting the fact that the actual aircraft would only be seen at a distance or very fleetingly but obviously your collection of waterline ship models are in a much more advanced category.
Phil-well one of the old Tsarist dreadnoughts was renamed 'Marat' by the Soviets and served into WW2 so maybe she's one of F-B's models!

Phil also gets an award since he knows the story of the picture. That puts him well beyond the norm.
The Japanese made such ship models, but of much higher quality and much more as the work of craftsmen and artisans, as appropriate to such society.
The persons who made the ship models in the US on an industrial basis were mostly such craftsmen emigres from central Europe.
Such details interest me.
