It shows a hi...

A great top view would be awesome I will consider it. Something about halfway between Ranger and Lexington's deck arrangements, I think is likely. Interesting, looks quite top heavy and 'dumpy' but I guess that is due to the relatively stubby battleship hull. Certainly an interesting what-if concep...

It's been three years since I went and posted my version of an interesting carrier conversion I saw- the cancelled battleship USS Washington, (of the Colorado class and not Solomon islands fame), converted to a CV, some nebulous amount of time after work had begun on the Lexington class. The origina...

The last class of pre-dreadnought battleships in the Bahtiyaran Navy built before the advent of the dreadnought forced a worldwide shift to all-big-gun batteries, rendering her obsolete. Laid down in 504 K.E. and commissioned in 507-508 K.E., they were rendered obsolete immediately upon completion b...

https://i.imgur.com/AjXdobs.png Exactly what it says on the tin- the German superdreadnought SMS Baden depicted with a refit along the lines of battleships such as Tennessee and West Virginia that were most severely damaged in the attack on Pearl Harbor. I didn't give more than five seconds of thou...

https://i.imgur.com/nCdh7fD.png The idea of aircraft carriers was always present for the Italian Navy, ever since the ship type existed. As early as the end of WW1 the idea of converting the incomplete Francesco Caracciolo class battleships to carriers was pitched, but never gained serious traction...

https://i.imgur.com/K33FL2m.png Here the ship is in her 1929 configuration, serving as part of the 1st Cruiser Squadron based in La Spezia. Differing from her original appearance, she has a much more built up bridge and the fore funnel has been cut down. However she has not received AA guns or been...

https://i.imgur.com/sLuq6A6.png At the end of WW1, the German light cruiser Pillau was ceded to Italy, and renamed Bari. At this same time, the cruisers Taranto (ex SMS Strassburg) and Ancona (ex SMS Graudenz) were among the most powerful in the Italian Navy, which previously had three obsolete cru...

https://i.imgur.com/s8U7558.png Here's my first stab at a real design, the Italian seaplane carrier Giuseppe Miraglia, in what is as nearest I can tell her outfit as completed. She was originally laid down as a train ferry in 1921, but the Italian government took over her for use as a seaplane tend...
