battleships

The Triang company produced a range of waterline model ships in 1/200 scale in the early 1960s and briefly again in the 1970s. Star of the Royal Navy models in the range was HMS Vanguard. Rather like Vanguard there were also models of the other recently scrapped big ships, the cruisers HMS...

As said in the tin. In our timeline we got names such as - ironclad - dreadnought - battleship - pocket battleship - battlecruiser - armored cruiser - heavy cruiser English is not my native language so I need help. I'm looking for *new names* out of the above list / english words...

The Royal Navy's second 16" armed battleships history was a long and bumpy road of large number of designs and the inability on the Admiralty's side to actually start and continue it's work on them or choose a design to produce. First I present the 1938 designs: Design 14A-38 This is the first...

Hello all, I'm searching infos regarding real (albeit conceptual only) battleship projects distinguishing themselves for extraordinary caliber of main guns and/or number of main guns and displacement. I'm aware of the following, some yet briefly discussed in other topics: -Tillman maximum...

It was planned to fit the Iowa class with the 3"/50 but this was abandoned post-war. I once saw online a line drawing that showed the planned layout, it wasn't a straight swap for the quad 40mm mounts due to weight concerns but I have seen one book that states that 15 mounts were planned. Does...

I was reading about the Royal Navy's 16" gun project a while back on NavWeaps, which was initiated to arm the Lion class Fast Battleships (a project that ultimately came to grief, with none being built); http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNBR_16-45_mk2.htm It read like the usual summary of a...

It's come to my attention recently that the main guns on some warships are given names, much like fighter pilots often name their aircraft. I've only seen this on a few Battleships, but I'm willing to bet that it's a pretty common practice (or was at one time). For example, on the HMS Nelson...

I've always liked the French Richelieu Battleship with its state of the art construction and twin 4 gun turrets both firing forward. My only problems with it are it looks as though it's got room for 2 more turrets on the back and it's guns aren't big enough. This is my take on how a Super...

I'm looking for the best drawings possible of what woudl be called the "definitive" Montana class battleship. I'm looking to make a 1/350 scale model, and that's big enough to make sure the details are right. I've googled around, but couldn't find much that was terribly impressive online... any...

Seven battleships BB 72 through BB 78 were projected in 1942. Armament was to consist of 8 × 18 in (4x2). More info ? Whe one see the huge size of the projected Montanas... :o

First post of a long topic about Italian battleship Francesco Caracciolo and the many designs for her in 1914-1919. A quick summary; A-series with 12x381mm guns B-series unknown? C-series definitive Caracciolo with 8x381mm guns in duples. What was actually built (but not finished) D-series with...

For counter Ticonderoga Class, Soviet also want a new class fighting ship which could be build in scores. Afterall, the Kirov class is too expensive. So here we see a new class that looks nuch similar with Ticonderoga. [EDIT: Not a real project - MODERATOR]
