Great renditions of these transitional ships ! Super detail. Overall conveys their aggressive style. These ships are a tough subject as there few high detail drawings available. There are some photos that have recently been cleaned up but the ships went through so many modifications it is a task to ...

This is a bit more like it, especially taking into account the Rurik. However, there was a same generation 12" gun - the Armstrong-Vickers MarkXI with a range of 27,600 yds at 33'. Range is more dependent on the gunners eyesight and optics (not to mention weather) than the test-firing range of a gun ...

Basically an interesting idea but not feasible due to the leap to Inflexible and Invincible. As Krakatoa states you have to go to a bigger gun since the Italian, Russians and US have ACRs with 10' main guns. Then there are four IJN ACRs with 12" main guns ! There was a plan for a BC with 12" main ...

"It's room for growth. Weight will be added throughout the war with additional weapon fits." I agree that some margin maybe useful and in fact authentic. 1.00 means you can't put on a second coat of paint, but 1.30 means you can support an additional 4,000 tons! That is too much, trim down the hull ...

Thanks for the comments. I like the old Armoured Cruisers (my Grandfather served on the USS Pueblo(Colorado) in WW1 and I have a few old photos I've carefully saved. Unfortunately there isn't much info on them, even the books by Freidman & Alden have only a few drawings of the US ships. I've only ...

Thanks for the help !! Especially thanks for the comments. Greatly valued as they come from the "Master"

Interesting Alternate History. Not meaning to be critical but having lived through the whole period of the Vietnam War I can tell you it was a far more complex matter than a simple military confrontation. Tactical nukes in Nam is just non-sence however. Most of the time there were no BIG targets and ...

Super "BUFF"s. As as kid I lived near a SAC base and when they had an alert it had the force of nature. How about one with the day-glow orange SAC paint scheme from the halcyon days of Curtis LeMay.

Monty- The light BC was alwys one of my favorite subjects, and this is a very interesting one - and of course very well done. If this a French design built in a Brit yard?

Monty-

Really great ! The subject is also very very reasonable considering all the variations the RH subjected their cruisers to.
