The entire stern seems to be for tenders. 3 hatches each on port and starboard, the aft one HUGE, and the stern seems to open too. I wonder whats in there... probably the usual, submarines, chopters, missle launchers.

Project Sigma should be ready soon. I saw a photo of her in the drydock today. Her funnels seem to be painted instead of the grey look they had before? We will have to wait untill she re-emerges once more for good! http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/...php?lid=641402 | |

Did a warp drive already burn out a dilithium crystal? As I am regressing into my 2nd childhood, I must share this linky - http://indo-startrek.org/v2/records/index.htm?rec=7

To my eye they appear to have a metallic finish.
Perhaps the grey was a protective coating?

Makes me wonder  Although Sigma looks very milituristic I'm led to think about the difference in the look of Preditor when she went with the blue.

Your thought is very plausible PFJW. It looks so much better than that muted appearance and goes nicely with the chrome uptakes.

It is not a refit..Some paintwork was left for after sea-trials!

Other than painting the funnels silver, what did they do?
BTW, Those gantry cranes in the background look as if they could pick Sigma up like a toy! They are seriously BIG!
