Indeed an interesting design and one that might have been possible. I was just wondering how that timeline might fit with a British W-Class Swiftsure successor to replace the Churchills and Valliants to make a tri-nation project. I'd guess a British variant, if proposed and built, would probably lo...
Very cool! Great to see a speculative design for a what-if Canadian nuclear submarine. The joint Australian-Canadian design seems like a very plausible back-story too. Not much to contribute from a design standpoint, but very impressive overall!
I cast the spell THREAD NECROMANCY! So, um... in my original post I mentioned I had another idea on my mind. After over a year of doing nothing with it, I figured I'd call it "Eh goodenough" and post. I'm not as happy with this little idea, but it's a thing. Maybe someone will enjoy it. If not, eh w...
Machinery: Diesel Internal combustion motors, Geared drive, 2 shafts, 62 839 shp / 46 878 Kw = 29,00 kts Range 0nm at 0,00 kts Bunker at max displacement = 0 tons Actually, this is the reason the hull strength is so very high... It's a splendid-looking ship, though. I've been toying with the idea o...
On review, Colombamike's first drawing shows the Indianapolis as she was following her April 1942 refit. It was more austere than Portland 's post-Tassafaronga refit. It appears the Indianapolis was refitted again in early 1943 (around the same time as Portland ) which is when her aftworks were raze...
Thanks again for the input....I am gonna throw this out so you can all have a laugh with me, because this is the reference my rendering in the original post is based off of. After several hours of picture-browsing, I've come to realize this image was...well, kinda useless. At a glance, that base dr...
While Bezo's sentiments are harsh, I fear they may be rather accurate. Back when I was more involved in drawing SB ships I assembled all of the resources to draw the 1930s USN heavy cruisers, and I drew much of Houston before handing it off to Bezo. The Portlands were low on my priority list since t...
