Re: 1927 Programme Surrey Class & 1929 Programme Heavy Cruisers

These would been classified as Super Cruiser without the 25.4 cm and 23 cm guns :P But with an auto-loading mechanism system like Uss De Moines, it would be dangerous against the IJN CAs and CLs on the Battle of The Java Seas if the Royal Navy have excellent radar fire control directors and use them ...

Re: Mister Hoover's Navy

How about the monoplane naval fighters in your AU navy by the mid 1930s? Will they started as poor cousins of the Boeing P-26(fixed landing gear and open cockpit) or the beginnings of your versions of the Grumman Wildcat or that maligned Brewster Buffalo fighters. I know Grumman made the FF-1, F2F ...

Re: American Capital Ships

Oh boy, I hate to be Kaiserliche Marine captains of the Admiral Graf Maximilian von Spee's in the Falklands to encounter 3 Maine ACR classes if these ships were actual UK allied types. Those 10" guns and 8" guns can inflicted terrible damage to his squadron, if they crossed his T and give one ...

Re: Royal Navy Battleship 'X' 1945

Nice post WW-2 design, but are the two turrets use the quadruple design in order to keep the maximum firepower of 8x2 main guns? I like to see if the main armament would be 18"/50 guns instead of 16"/55.

Re: HMS Incomparable: Jackie Fishers 6 20 inch gun battlecru

There's a possible sea battle scenario that HMS Incomparable and two more of her sisters could get involved. In Otto Preminger's movie, In Harm's Way, Operation Skyhook(an fictional version of Operation Watchtower or another addition fictional island objective to the Solomon Campaign) is a success ...
