Unfinished/Unbuilt ships: Casualties of WW1

[Karle94]

I've added updated versions of all the previous drawings and I've added updated versions of the Lyon, Sultan Osman I, Francesco Caracciolo and a new drawing of an Austrio-Hungarian battlecruiser.

Awesome work!

Great series. Especially liked the Erin (not sure about the color of the first one) but the second was the best rendition of this ship ever.

Ottoman ships were yellowish khaki for the same reason Austrio-Hungarian ships were green. These were coastal defense navies, thus their ships spent little time at sea. By late WW1 era the Ottomans adopted a grey color scheme inspired by the Germans.

Great work! isn't Ersatz Zenta Scout Cruiser original ordered by China?

[Karle94]

No. The great cruiser along with three light cruisers were ordered by China. Garlic did the great cruiser, and two designs for the ligth cruiser have been drawn by me for my AU.

This is the Chinese "great cruiser" design. http://shipbucket.com/drawings/8804

If this link works, then it should show my great cruiser take, as well as two versions of the light cruiser design: https://imgur.com/a/mxNho1b

The Ersatz Zenta was designed more in line with the previous Novara and Heligoland designs of scout cruisers, hence the large battery of small guns (100mm or 120mm.)

Do note that I reversed the gun layout between the three and two funneled designs. The original design had two twin 6" turrets, and a sec battery of 66mm guns, but the Chinese were not convinced that the deck could support those twin turrets, so it was redesigned with an all 100mm gun battery.

Thank you! but flag is not correct, up until 1927 under the regulation of early republic. The "Five-Colored Flag" is for the bow and "Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth Flag" was the Naval Jack. more like this:
