Actually, there was an option for the R-38s to be LAHT instead of stainless steel but I don’t know why and what back door discussions were behind the decision to go with the stainless. I recall seeing somewhere an artist's rendering of a LAHT R-38 which looked sort of like a 60 ft R-36 but with the sculptured end bonnet like the ones the 38s actually came with. The only difference between the proposed R-38 paint scheme and that of the R-36s was a slightly different shade of blue. |
