The six vessels of the Vanguard-class form the seaborne CASD element of the United Kingdom's (and by extension, that of the wider Commonwealth) nuclear "dyad" deterrence system, alongside the nuclear equipped Typhoon fighters and Lancer bombers of the Royal Air Force. The Vanguard-class entered serv...

The Trafalgar-class, the first "modern" SSNs of the Royal Navy. Envisioned as an advanced/improved version of the Swiftsure-class, the Trafalgar-class rapidly evolved into a modern SSN design (akin to the Los Angeles-class of the US Navy) and were built in 2 batches from 1983 to 2003, constituting a...

The backbone of the Royal Navy SSN fleet - the Astute-class SSN. The Astute-class has its origins in Project SSN20, launched by the Royal Navy in 1986 to replace its existing Swiftsure and Trafalgar (Batch 1 and Batch 2) class submarines with a modern design. Construction began in 2001 and the first...

Thank you both for the feedback. As an added bonus (and because I'm at a loose end over the Easter weekend) here is a Virginia-class drawn in the same style and parameters of the same AU to complement the Seadragon-class drawing. In this AU the Virginia-class forms the backbone of the USN SSN force,...

The ultimate developmental evolution of the original Barbel-class SSK, the Seadragon-class is an AU US Navy conventionally powered attack submarine that entered service in 1987 (it is based upon the IRL Hai Lung-class of the ROCN, which in this AU does not exist - the Seadragon is a completely US de...

Luftwaffe F-15E Strike Eagle - an AU project (and precursor to an ultimate F-15A/C and F-15E AU operators sheet when I get the time) showing F-15E's in Luftwaffe camouflage and grey colour schemes. In this AU, the F-15E was procured circa 1989 (the Tornado MRCA project doesn't exist here) to replace...

Various AU A-4s, both with real life operators and AU ones. Final colour schemes shown where possible, with year of retirement in brackets (or 2023 for current use). Some liberty taken with variants and upgrades.

F-111K Aardvark, shown in AU RAF service. Wow! just wow! Have ever think about F-111 in Luftwaffe or Italian service? Thanks Ultra for giving me the idea to do this unholy creature I have to say, she is very sexy! Cheers! Never Italian, although did think about a Luftwaffe F-111. Ultimately decided...

F-111K Aardvark, shown in AU RAF service. The F-111 was acquired by the RAF (entering service as the Aardvark GRS.3) in the late 60s/early 70s as a replacement for the English Electric Canberra as the mainstay of RAF Bomber Command (later moving to become the main aircraft of RAF Strike Command, alo...

I suspect you migh...
