I'm pretty sure the Omen could float. Might not actually move anywhere cos' its basically a metal floating island but it might float.
The Vazhnyy isn't that bad acutally, it has reasonable draught, looks like a ship and its large missile launchers/ hangars etc look only slightly less far-out than many real-world Soviet projects. It has serious radar overkill, odd stern, weird CIWS placement and odd stealth gun positions but its 40% towards a do-able ship.
Prydain gets my vote as the best ship in existence on this thread as looking credible and actually quite attractive. Sure its a kitbash but done with some skill. Yes it should have credits though.

Certainly less barrel-o-laughs with this lot, a few chuckles but starting to get better.

his alaska based design..... I think he should credit, right?
I don't think he's really doing anything wrong here. I see bits and pieces of Gollevainen's German WWII ships and the paint scheme from Alaska, but nothing that really requires all out crediting. If, for example, he had used the entire hull of Alaska, he would then need to credit.

You should invite him to come here.

On closer look I see an unusual mix of secondaries, American 5"/38 twin mountings in the usual six mountings arangement, common to all American cruisers of WW2, and above them British 4" twin Mk.XIX gun mountings, placed like 40mm guns - also I notice the Japanese skiff from the common equipment chart.
All in all not a bad effort.

Oh God, why? Why do we need armored Box Launchers on top of the turrets when you've already got VLS? And what is that shit on the stern? A heliport?
