Digital Navy （http://digitalnavy.com/） 是 Roman Detyna 先生的个人网站，他在此展示和出售自己设计的舰船（及飞机）纸模型。V-108 是 Digital Navy 提供的免费图纸之一，并且提供了两个版本，这里制作的是2005年的新版，增加了颇多细节。
根据在网上找到的关于 Roman 的信息，他早年生活在波兰（波兰人民对纸模型的热情啊~），现居纽约，是一名结构工程师（所以他的设计真的很棒）。可是 Digital Navy 自2011年5月22日之后就没有更新过，2011年6月11日，papermodelers网站有人发帖称“向 Roman 订购模型后没有任何回音，此前向他订购的东西总是能很快拿到”。不知道 Roman 是工作太忙还是有其他什么事，但愿他一切都好。
最后是英文介绍。不知道 Roman 会不会有机会看到？也许看到自己的设计在中国也有人喜欢的话他会更新网站也说不定……
About the ship:
V-108 was a torpedo boat of Kaiserliche Marine (German)。 However, I believe her relationship with Poland navy is the reason of her rebirth as card model: She was one of the first ships of the Polish Navy recreated after Poland regained its independence in 1918. In service from 1921 to 1925.
She was built in 1914 by Stettiner Maschinenbau A.G. Vulcan in Stettin, Germany (now in Poland). She was begun for a Dutch Navy order, as Z-4 (along with three sister ships Z-1,Z-2,Z-3), but after the outbreak of World War I she was confiscated by Germany and commissioned as torpedo boat V-108, taking an active part in World War I, fighting in the Baltic Sea against the Russian Navy.
When the German Imperial Navy was divided among victorious powers in 1919 after World War I, Poland was granted six torpedo boats, among them V-108. The ship arrived in Poland in October, 1921, officially entering into service and renamed ORP Kaszub (ORP: Okręt Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej，Vessel of the Republic of Poland).
The ship was sunk by a boiler explosion on July 20, 1925. 3 crewmen died.
Specifications:
Displacement: 340 tons, 421 tons full load
Maximum speed: 28 knots
Armament:
German service: 2 × 88 mm guns, 2 × 450 mm torpedo tubes
Polish service: 2 × 47 mm guns (changed in 1924 to 2 × 75 mm guns), 2 × 450 mm torpedo tubes
Her sister ship, V-105 (ORP Mazur), was one of the first ships sunk during World War II. On the first day of World War II, September 1, 1939, ORP Mazur, commanded by Lieutenant Tadeusz Rutkowski, was in a port of Oksywie. At 2 pm she was at a pier, preparing to leave port, when she was attacked by German Junkers Ju 87s from IV./LG.1. The ship suffered one close hit and a hit amidships, and sunk still firing at the German aircraft. The sailor, who although the ship was sinking, still fired until waves washed him overboard was First Lieutenant Jacek Dehnel, grandfather of the famous polish poet and writer Jacek Dehnel. About 40 of the crew were killed.
About the designer:
Digital Navy (http://digitalnavy.com/) is a personal web site by Mr. Roman Detyna, on which he displays and sells paper models of his own design. V-108 is one of the free offers from Digital Navy. There're 2 versions in different scale and different difficulty. Here I built the later version (2005) which has more details.
According to public information of Roman on the internet, he spent his early days in Poland and now in New York, as a Structural Engineer. However, Digital Navy's last update was on 22nd May 2011; on 11th Jun 2011, a user of papermodelers was asking "Where is Roman Detyna? I have ordered from Roman Detyna (Digital Navy) and have NOT received either the product nor any response to the emails I have sent him. I have always received prompt service from him before so I am now wondering what happened."
I've no idea on what blocks Roman from Digital Navy. Hope him all the best.
