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!

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!
