Hello there. I have been looking into the Dutch Flores-class sloops for awhile now, and one thing is still very unclear to me.
Many sources say that the Flores was fitted with two Boulton Paul Type A turrets (Taken from the Boulton Paul Defiant).
Here is the only photo I could find that might...
Thought we already had a thread on the Goliath robot demolition vehicle, aka tracked mine. Oh well.
A reasonably good though short overview (though it overlooks the reusable version):

Since the Shinano was sunk unachevied,I think it can count as a project. Regarding the deck paint,it was either a pattern like the one on the unryu class aircraft carrier or a grey deck,depend on the rule the carrier was used. Not all AA was installed on board too.
Here are some interpretation ...
Hi, looking for something else I found some references to the "Żywe torpedy" (Living Torpedoes, i.e. Human Torpedoes), an idea of Polish military to create a suicide unit in 1939 to attack the ships of the Kriegsmarine. The project is briefly mentioned in Covert Shore here, with a couple of...

If there's any interest, I have a...
Polish Army ordered 100 tanks of the new design to be delivered before June 1940. In July 1939 the PZInż factory produced two additional prototypes to be extensively tested at tank proving grounds. While tests were generally favourable, it was noted that the new design had much lower speed than...
(also mentions efforts planned or actually attempted with the Ju 290, Ju 390, and the Ki 77. Overlooks the Me 264 though.)
The Rome-Tokyo flight was arguably one of the Regia Aeronautica's finest hours, though unfairly forgotten.

An interesting midget submarine that became a vital part of an even more interesting operation of the Decima Flottiglia MAS that came close to fruition in 1943 (it was ultimately scheduled for December of that year, but events intervened).
Development of the CA-class had begun pre-war, in 1938...
Just perusing my photocopy of Zaloga's SOVIET TANKS AND COMBAT VEHICLES OF WORLD WAR II last night and saw something I'd missed before.
There is mention of the SMK-2, a modification of the SMK heavy tank (developed concurrently with the T-100 heavy tank, only one prototype of each being...
I ran across this website that I frustratingly can't find anymore it gave info on the various attempts to up gun the sherman tank and also had a little info on a radically redesigned sherman tank that moved its gear box beneath the tank allowing the turret to be set further back and reducing the...
