Re: Future challenge ideas/suggestions

Seahawk challenge - Design a ridiculous large speed boat (over 4,000 tons; in excess of 35 knots) for the 1960s-1970s.

Bonus points if you can come up with a plausible justification for its existence.

Re: Saint John Shipbuilding Concepts

Very interesting. I recall that Forecast International had published a factsheet on the Halifax - class some years ago (possibly the early 2000s), which included some information on the various derivatives of that class that had been explored by Saint John Shipbuilding in that time period ...

Saint John Shipbuilding Concepts

While working on an unrelated project I acquired a copy of Jane's Naval Construction and Retrofit Markets, which contains a section on concept ship designs. The first section was Canada, and contained images and descriptions of some concepts from Saint John Shipbuilding, the prime contractor for the ...

Re: German MBB-F1 Golden Eagle Swing Wing Air Superiority Fighter

The reason some of those bits don't look like they're stolen from NavyBrat's fighter is because they're stolen from a different one. The middle vertical stabilizer, engine nozzles, lower rear fuselage side, wings, and horizontal stabs are straight off of my Fleet Defense Fighter of the 80s ...
