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...
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...
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...
Model posted by Bob Gibson in What if and alternate history Facebook Group it's a speculative model reconstruction of fictional hydro version of Mosquito.
The saga of HMS Hermes is well known. But it might have been different if the RN had followed the US example and kept her as an ASW carrier or interim Sea Control Ship.
The US were introducing the S3 Viking on to their attack carriers but were keen to get as many to sea as possible.
HMS Hermes...
Not something I think fits in the alt-F11 thread but related to it, kind of. The RN is going to spend 16 million rebuilding Eagle, picking Tiger saves about 20-25 million over F-4 combine those two figures as your budget to build a new carrier with a 30 year hull life rather than spending 16 of...
Does anyone know about this?
This was in a Japanese magazine as a "US Navy Aviation Battleship".
According to the magazine, this was studied by the US Navy in October 1924 and was inspired by a proposal for a British "Hybrid battleship" published in Brassey's Naval Annual in 1923.
General...
What it says in the tin basically. In OTL Britain laid down 10 Colossus class ships in 1942-43, followed by 6 larger Majestic class in 1943 and then the Centaur class in 1944, going from 18,000t to ~20,000 and then 26,000t full load in two years.
So how do you get the British designers to...

Chciałbym dokonać porównania tych dwóch okrętów podwodnych. Mam na myśli system sonarowy, technologię akustyczną, szybkość i ogólne porównanie technologii. Chciałbym również wiedzieć, co jest niesamowitego w ssn 790 South Dakota, że wszyscy piszą o pewnej przewadze akustycznej nad innymi...
I would like to make a comparison of these two submarines. I mean sonar system, acoustic technology , speed and overall technology comparison. I would also like to know what is amazing about ssn 790 south dakota that everyone writes about some acoustic advantage over other subs.
