Is it because the A-4Q has a shorter combat radius and the British aircraft carrier has not yet entered the strike range? Or is it because there has been no wind on the sea since the afternoon of May 1st? Or is it because the time is in the afternoon and close to evening, so it is difficult to...

Érase una vez sólo dos bandos (y sabías qué esperar) y había un país llamado Unión Soviética. Y el portaaviones era la especie dominante en los mares (Cuanto más grande era el portaaviones, más felices eran los almirantes), pero este tipo de barcos son muy caros, tan caros que parecía que iban a...

I'm putting this here because the premise is alternate reality. Its a world where the RN focuses on its big carriers, Eagle rebuilt as per normal, Ark Royal getting its 'Phantom' refit starting in 1964 and CVA01 & 02 getting started as soon as the Fearless class are off their slips at JB and...

When browsing Vickers Tyne & Wear Archive I noticed a really intersting and obscure design proposal. Not only by the strangely long barrel, sci-fi look turret (this is a 1946 drawing), but also the insane stats and unique operating mechanism. I also cannot find any information of this proposal...

I have various images of naval gun projects. I'll add them here as I scan them. Unless here is moved to a somewhere else. :) RP1

In a perfect world for the British armed forces how would you modernise HMS Vanguard and the King George V class to serve in the 1980s? (Before anyone asks Yes CVA-01 through 04 are built in this timeline, so no yapping about building carriers instead, this is a perfect world for the RN, so the...

A detailed description of the Torpedo Protection System for this ship is held by the University of Tokyo and has been digitised. I have downloaded, and uploaded here, the description and the diagram of this system. It goes without saying that the presence of this document in Japan is a very...

I was wondering if anyone has any information regarding the modernisation plans discussed for HMS Nelson that would have kept her in the fleet Post war. Plans to keep her were I believe mentioned in Drachinifels video about the Nelson class and there is also this on the wiki page: According to...

I'm web surfing to see if there's another preliminary design about Illustrious class(1939), as other carrier(like HMS Ark Royal) did. But strangely enough, there was no mention of this. So I ended up asking you about the Preliminary design about Illustrious class aircraft carrier. Does anyone...

If you could redesign the Royal Navy at that time, what would you do?

Introduction: John Arbuthnot Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher, Commander, Captain, Admiral, Second then First Sea Lord, one if not the most influential and prominent naval commander of the Royal Navy. His ideas, views and dedicated work allowed the modernization of the Royal Navy to remain in first...

When I was surfing the Internet, I saw a post on the World of Warship Forum(https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/3095-what-if-the-war-began-in-1944-royal-navy-battleships/) that an article assuming World War II would have broken out in 1944. And after reading that, I wondered what would...

While I was reading a information about Audacious class on Mr.ArmouredCarrier's site, I saw information that there was another Audacious class design. I surfed the web to find related information or blueprints, but I ended up in vain. So I ask some help about it. Does anyone have the relevant...

While I was reading about a report abou Sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse, I suddenly wondered what history would have been like if HMS Indomitable had been assigned to the Force Z without any damage, or if the Implacable Class Aircraft Carrier had been built earlier than the original...

HMS Alliance was modified for SIGINT/ELINT work during a yard period in the late 1950s (1958-1960), in particular for monitoring the Soviet Northern Fleet, at least according to the Daily Telegraph obituary of Rear Admiral Martin Wemyss linked below...
