What do you guys think the feasibility of placing the 16 inch shells in an automated ready magazine in place of the projectile ring? Instead of manually being moved from the ring to the hoist the projectiles are loaded into a revolving magazine that surrounds the central column and rotates to feed t...

Its not so much upgrading the Mark 7 off the Iowa's because ya, those suckers are as good as they can be. The idea is more what would a 16" inch gun be like if designed today.

As I was watching that I had a sudden thought. What if my favorite naval gun, the glorious 16 inch Mark 7, got the same treatment? Admittedly ...

snip Too tall-try shaving off a deck Ditch the lower level of the superstructure (have the rear arm launch missile system on the main deck), make the landing pad level with the forward missile platform Maybe eliminate the top deck of the bit between the forward and aft superstructure, have a single...

So work is coming along nicely, don't have a new image yet but I'm getting close to getting the details done for the side-view. Quick question, does any one now of any good examples of ships with top down views?
