Trimaran paddle-wheel TBD? From a low-poly steampunk project I've been working on-and-off-and-on-again:

While I doubt the modelling techniques of the day would have been up to designing something like that it does look cool.

looks cool

Is this where we post actual SB submissions? I've run some numbers on the HySWAS and am in the process of drawing it.

[heuhen]

if you want to post an odd SB-drawing of a ships that works but is totally weird at the same time.

[Thiel]

I've got this horrible old thing

[heuhen]

weird, interesting, can work and a interesting capability.... and as concept goes, very very interesting.

• 128 containers
• 40-45 knots
• 800nm+ range

• Propulsion: 2 LNG-fueled MT-30 derivatives mechanically driving 4 AWJ-21 waterjets.
• Operated by my fictional shipping company Inter-Shipping Lines in the North Sea.
• Based loosely on the HYSWAS-4000 ASW frigate proposed by the French Ecole Nationale Superieure de Techniques Advancees in 1979.

What fun!

That is different. I'm confused on the containers however. Are they stacked three or four tall?

[RP1]

Hi,

Three tall. She's hatcoverless, but the lowest tier is 2 containers narrower. And saying this I've just realised the totally obvious mistake I made that doesn't imply anti-gravity containers no not at all. I'll fix that.
