International
Radio Controlled Warship Combat Club (IRCWCC)
  
With their dockyards nestled in the frozen
tundra of Minnesota, the captains of the Port Polar Bear (associated with the
IRCWCC) build and battle remote
controlled 144th-scale model warships from the First and Second World Wars.
The combat ready models are replicas of historical ships that were launched
between 1906 and 1946. They are armed with one or more BB cannons for offense
and have pumps for defense, and battle each other in shallow ponds across the
country. The cannons shoot holes through the thin (1/32 inch) balsa sides of
their opponents. When the ships take on too much water and the on-board bilge
pump can’t keep up, they sink. After a sink the model is quickly
recovered, patched and ready to battle in another sortie the same day.
It's wet and wild fun!
