A side AU project showing AU USAF, US Army, and USN operators of the Lockheed Martin C-27J Spartan and associated variants. The USAF operates the aircraft in the tactical airlift role with regular, reserve, and state air guard/air militia units both in the US and around the world (replacing older ...

The Type 24 (or Furious-class) corvette (also interchangeably refereed to as a sloop or light frigate depending on usage/location) serves as the primary second-rate light general purpose frigate/corvette of the Royal Navy. 34 vessels were built from 1998 to 2015 and replaced the early Samson-class ...

The Solent-class are the next generation of RN SSKs, replacing the ageing Upholder-class vessels as the backbone of the shallow water conventionally powered submarine force. 36 vessels will be procured over an 15 year period to replace the existing Upholder-class vessels like-for-like. The last ...

The Lockheed Martin C-27J Spartan (in this AU, the C-27J and G.222 before it is not an Italian aircraft but instead US built and designed) in RAF service. The RAF procured the C-27J in the late 1990s/early 2000s to replace its previous de Havilland Canada DHC-5 Buffalo aircraft in the tactical ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
