  1. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    If our American cousins need to get the 90 mm into service fast, all they need to do is what they did when they ran short on M-10 chassis to use for the M-36 ... they dropped the M-36 turret on an M-4 chassis .... the M36B1

    Thanks John, a thorough and excellent story ... Very well done, as are all the rest of your compositions! Enjoy your vacation. Myself and everyone else here will be awaiting your return.

    from postings on the battle cruiser site, apparently the plan was to switch from the three triple 18's to the four triple 16.5's with only smallish changes in design weights and dimensions. the 16" came about more as a result of needing to save cost and displacement on the G-3's apparently...

    While the original N-3 design of battleships called for a main battery of 9 – 18” guns in three triple turrets, late in the design process, the Admiralty requested a change of main armament to 12 – 16.5” guns in four triple turrets. Of the four ships approved initially, just two would be...

    just following the design format of the G-3's is all.

    I managed to break my leg at the 14 month mark of our house renovation project, so I'm laid up for a few weeks ... so what else is there to do but sort through my bad ship box and toss a few things up here? I’m not going to get long-winded with this here (there’s a story coming … lol), but...

  8. What other allied countries, territories, or dominions would have taken part in Operation Downfall?

    My Dad was in training for the Canadian 6th division at Camp Borden. He said that the only Canadian kit they would have was their rank and shoulder flashes. He said that after the first A bomb was dropped their American weapons instructors had a party, and after the second one, they left...

  9. Repair This! A HMS Repulse Timeline

    How far out were the Rn destroyers in your scenario here? With their addition, along with Suffolk and Norfolk, and the limited airstrikes from Victorious, Bismarck would be facing a challenging future. Really enjoying this however you take this!

  10. How would Repulse have fared against Bismarck if she took Hoods place at Battle of Denmark Strait?

    When looking at the pairing of the RN's heavy units in the run up to the Battle of Denmark Strait, one might be left with the impression that the better battle cruiser was paired with the weaker battleship. To clarify that, Hood was set out with Prince of Wales (with Hood as the flagship and...

    Yeah ... the tower bridge needs work .., playing with various options to turn out something original, while following historical styling points ... a work in progress ... I'd preferr the 4.5" myself if for nothing else than weight savings which could trade off for fatter magazines, as well as...

  18. Alternate warships of nations

    I knew what the U4 and U5 were, If you read the original post it states that the armament and certain equipments were salvaged and commited to a new construction (in the style of the creative rebuilds of certain civil war monitors, or even looking at Vanguard at a later date simply using the...

  19. Alternate warships of nations

    ... anyway, you all wanted a Vanguard earlier ... well here's three of them ... you're welcome ... In 1914 the Dominion of Canada agreed to pay the cost of three new battleships for the Royal Navy There arose heated debates in the dominion over how the ships might be named, with the final...
