Hello, I guess I gonna necro this thread a bit (finally) and put on some new drawings. The 1938 Heavy Cruiser design studies as defined in Norman Friedman's book. This will include both the 8" proposal and a 12" proposal, the latter seemingly one of the ancestors to what would be the USS Alaska-class large cruisers. Anyway, here it is: The Heavy Cruiser Study of April 1938 (8" Version): The Heavy Cruiser Study of April 1938 (12" Version): If there's any mistake please do tell! I make it so that it uses technologies as of 1938 and strictly adhering to the characteristics in the book, hence no AA beyond .50 calibre machine guns and a lack of radar. Thank You! |

Looking good. I'm a bit curious about the secondaries though. I'd have thought the Mk.12 to be pretty universally featured on ship designs from this era, and those turrets looks like something else. |

Looking good.
The secondary are Mk 12 guns but they're on a different gun mount which was used on the St Louis (CL-49) and her sister ship.

Looking good, one can see the Alaska heritage in the layout and superstructure style. |

Hello Everyone! I've returned and this time with a design for the USS Alaska, a prelim that outlined it having been armed with 8" guns: No top-views (yet perhaps) and if you have any problems with it, do please say! Have a whole line of these guys planned. Thank You! |

Hello everyone, The Scheme 8 was a cruiser design made in 1938 to maximise firepower on the lowest possible displacement. She was armed with 3 6" triple turrets and 4 5" twin turrets, both of which would be used in the St Louis-class light cruiser. Notable design features included a sloping main deck, a lack of hangar, and torpedo tubes. Edit: forgot to put the latest design which included camo and better detailings: Thank You! |

Some very nice additions and interesting designs, good to see some of these USN never-weres fleshed out. |

Hello, Thanks Hood and everyone else, I guess I never really did thanked for all the feedback so apologies! For now, I got some things on the backburner of old drawings, largely modernisations: Scheme 8 if she has been given a radar outfit: Various Scheme 2 heavy cruisers: I guess you can call them little vanity project or something but they're here and I might as well post these. Thank You! |
