Hello,

I'm looking for warships designed by Nevesbu (B.V. Nederlandse Verenigde Scheepsbouw Bureaus). Specifically for surface vessels, though I don't want to discourage discussion around their submersibles.

So far I'm aware of a couple of designs:

Project 1047 (files attached, source: Klaas Meijer's Twitter)
1865 ton frigate (Jane's 1961 and 1962) (files attached)
1420 ton frigate (Jane's 1968) (files attached)
Possible carrier for venezuela? (according to Warshipsresearch )
Submarine chasers for cuba? (according to Warshipsresearch )
Possible cruisers for venezuela? (according to Warshipsresearch )

Also references to a Dutch 8" cruiser for Chile, as well as 6" 8000 ton 32 kt cruiser (British Cruisers Two World Wars and After, N. Friedman, pg. 226-228)

Does anyone have any more info and potentially drawings?

Furthermore, I created a manuscript containing most the information I found on Dutch ships, which I've attatched. Although not exactly related to Nevesbu, I found it a bit awkward to create a separate thread for it.

Do you have any further info (dimensions, armament, blueprints etc.) on Projects:

Unfortunately, I have no info on the physical parameters of the projected ships. I do have some more meta info from the sources.

Project 2083 comes from a design that was first offered between 12 to 30 june 1952, when Wotljer and Gunnig from NVSB and Salm from Signaal visited Janér as well as visit the minister of the navy. A quick redesign of a 2630t destroyer was offered. In August the project was further developed and information sent, along with an aquarel.

Project 2089 seems to have been short lived, being a request originally for the Trubine and Boiler Company (TKT) in Amsterdam.

Project 2091 comes from a request by Capt. Kenan, Assistant Naval Attaché for an escort vessel. On the 4th of Jan. 1954 the design was sent and Kenan replied in February that soon a reply to the offer would be sent.
 
I remember reading in 2017 about a possible preliminary to the 1047 battlecruisers that was smaller with 9-240mm guns but with a top speed of only 29-30kts. I was not proceeded with due to the speed. The WOWs gang looks like they took a shot at this in one of their ships but my reading was long before that and it was a real design study. Does anyone have anything further?

Design Work of the Royal Netherlands Navy
Although in autumn 1939 design work was well underway, and cooperation with Germany seemed reasonably assured, some reluctance on their part was still in evidence. Accordingly, Admiral Vos (Chief of the Materiel Department of the Navy) recommended strongly in a letter on 6 December 1939 to the new Navy Minister that the plans for the construction of the battlecruisers be brought before Parliament before Christmas 1939. However, the Navy Minister had not yet made up his mind as to exactly what type of vessel needed to be constructed. He apparently favored a 16.000 ton ship of the armored cruiser type. During December 1939, the Naval Construction Department considered the possibilities of such a ship and came to the comparison presented in Table 5.

Table 5 - 16,000 Ton Project Armament & Protection Comparison
Displacement16.000 tons Washington
Speed:33 kts. in tropical waters.

Three twin 28cm12050 and 6012030
Three triple 24cm1206012030
Three twin 24cm1406515030

It was noted that if the armor protection proposed for the 27.000 ton project were to be worked into a 16.000 design, no armament could be fitted. Also, it was considered that the plans for the former could be completed in 5 to 5,5 months, while if the Navy had to revert to a 16.000 ton design, a delay of 6 months was expected. A memorandum was drawn up on 11 December 1939 in which it was stated that on a 16.000 ton displacement, a design could be prepared with characteristics shown in Table 6.

Table 6 - 16.000 Ton Armored Cruiser
Displacement16,000 tons Washington

Note: Unfortunately, no sketch drawing (or any reference thereto) has been found.

It was appreciated that this vessel would be superior to a 20cm 10.000 ton cruiser, but had the important weakness that it could not avoid action with stronger opponents due to inferior speed. The protection also was felt to be insufficient. Consequently, the Navy strongly recommended against the construction of such a ship and nothing more was heard about the project.

The 16.000 ton cruisers were not a preliminary per se, but more of an alternative offered from Batavia (mostly Ferwerda). Indonesia still desired an expansion of destroyers and submarines. And wondered if the 28.000t battlecruisers would impact this. Thus offered the 16.000ters as alternative which would be much cheaper, possibly faster to build, made a transition to larger ships easier and wouldn't necessitate a large shift in base infrastructure. Whilst still being functionally similar in role and function.

Ferwerda didn't seem to be entirely against the battlecruisers, but prefered a much more gradual approach and to expand the 'surroundings' (not sure how to translate "omlijsting").

Ultimately, The Haguish group was too far with the 28.000t and Ferwerda's own health was failing so the battlecruisers were pushed forward. Only the basic computations from the Warship article (see the comment between us) were found.

As for World of Warships, It is possible that Wargaming took some inspiration from those when they made up their supercruisers, but they insisted they were based on the larger project 1047 instead so that can't be too right. Regardless, don't trust Wargaming with their made up ships. There's just too much wrong with those.
 
So.... Amsterdam Archives decided to pull a funny and uploaded their scans <15m after I posted the list.

That's a... Fascinating lower bow shape. I can only imagine that if this had gone to production that it would have been amended to a more traditional shape.
Presumably it was an attempt to reduce interference with the sonar during torpedo firing and guidance cables rubbing over the sonar dome. Can see the logic but its hardly an elegant looking solution.
 
On my request digitized the Stadsarchief Amsterdam more files of the archive of the firm Werkspoor dealing with the NEVESBU
 
That is an awfully small displacement for that size, armament and sensor fit!
 
A 675-ton design from circa 1969.
What is the source of this small Nevesbu-design?

I pressume it's from Jane's Fighting Ships 1969-70, or at least it's the same ad as the one presented there. The small black triangle clues in towards the other page of the ad in which the company info and some existing work is presented.

The Pietro di Cristofaro-class corvettes carried two such 76mm guns plus one anti-submarine mortar. They were slightly bigger than this project: 80m LOA vs 67m.
Probably the Nevesbu 'compact frigate' was to compete against Vickers export corvettes (sold to Ghana, Libya and Nigeria). Its machinery must have had not very much power as the ship was rather slow (25 kn). So it might have lightened its hull.

Indeed the picture comes from the Jane's Fighting Ship 1969-70.
Here you have a scan of two facing pages that contain a Nevesbu's advertisement plus the picture of the 'compact frigate' in high resolution.
