Hi,

here are some more never built (thank god) designs by the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft Leichtmetallbau".
The same "light metal" consortium, that brought us the extraordinary and totally sane "Atlantikbomber-Kreuzer" proposal...


First off the "Zerstörer, Typ Hochseejäger" (lit. Destroyer, Type High Seas Hunter).
A 1000t destroyer built mostly out of aluminum with a maximum speed of 48,8 knots.

It was to be propelled by 48(!) aircraft engines with 2000PS each...

Second the "Leicher Convoi-Zerstörer" (lit Ligh Convoi-Destroyer).
Armed with twelve 15cm guns in four triple turrets, this 3100t light cruiser was supposed to have a maxmium speed of 38knots.

This one was to be equipped with 64 engines of the same type as the DD above.

Lastly, the "Flugzeug-(Zerstörer) Kreuzer" (lit. Aircraft- (Destroyer) Cruiser).
A hybrid cruiser / catapult-ship, weighing 3100t. It was to carry up to nine "Zerstörer-type" Aircraft (hence the name).
The aircraft were to be started from two large catapults and were to land on a floating landing strip. The same kind as on the "Atlantikbomber-Kreuzer".

Speed and engines were to be the same as the "Convoi-Destroyer".

Cheers!

:shock: :shock: :? :? :?

What in the blue blazes are those?! I...I don't even know what to think of them. Miniature pocket battleship bridge towers and what appear to be offshoot submarine hulls.

*Sighs* Well, they're ships and I'm sure they would've served whatever purpose they were intended for, but wow...

Excellent drawings but I don't think its any surprise that Arbeitsgemeinschaft Leichtmetallbau never made it into shipbuilding!

the more I look at these designs, more weirder they become. But interesting concept

Are those Voith Schneider propeller's? So cool!

These designs are just wicked and the drawing made of them even more. Thanks for enlighting us with these delights!

These are some of the most insane legitimate (meaning: non-Nationstates :lol: ) ship designs I've ever seen, but the drawings are of awesome quality! Maomatic - You're spoiling us with Your works!
