Looks much better now, the Nassau-type layout looks particularly good.

Interesting fact on the side: One of the Nassau-class preliminary designs had cage masts as well.

Would a cage mast be suitable for the North Sea? I was under the impression that those types of masts caught the wind and caused excessive stress and movement in strong gales.

As I understand it, the shortcomings of cage masts weren't really known until they'd been in service for a number of years. Certainly the USN seemed to think they were the be-all and end-all solution to all mast problems.

The way I've heard it they used it because you didn't simply bring them down. The navy shot 200 12" shells at a replica of the South Carolinas mast without them coming down.

I have added a design number 3 with a layout that is based on a ship you'll never be able to guess.

If you want it to be truly impossible to guess then you should move the forward cage mast behind the forefunnel :lol: ;)

It is quite obvious to see from what ship it was taken, and as BB1987 said, move the mast behind the fore-funnel

Well this is after the cagemast was damaged by a barrel explosion, and wind plus heavy manouvres....
