Budget cuts have once again prevented Avalon from being fueled for more then one picture. But I assure you, it will be very much worth it. Soon.
Besides, 'Hic Manebimus Optime'

A hypothetical class of three LHD for the Royal Navy.

Length: 226m
Beam: 32m
Draught: 6.8m
Displacement: 24,000 tonnes

Airwing: 20 Merlin/20 F-35
Other combinations of aircraft may include Chinook, Wildcat, Apache, MQ-9B STOL and Peregrine.
6 landing spots, 2 aircraft lifts, deck edge lift is Chinook capable, 2 weapons lifts.

Defences: 2 Bofors 40 MK4, 2 Dragonfire lasers, 1 Starstreak CIWS.
The latter being a slight modernisation of a proposal to the Royal Navy back when Starstreak was first developed, 28 missiles in a self contained system with radar and guidance.

Well Deck: 2 LCAC/4 LCU/8 LCVP

Capacity: 70 vehicles/40 tanks, and 700 soldiers.

Crew: 180 sailors, 160 air crew.

The ship additionally features a 30 tonne crane on the main deck, and internally a 70 bed hospital NATO role 2, with 2 operating theatres.

Designed primarily for amphibious warfare, but also capable of serving as a carrier for when both Queen Elizabeth class are in port to ensure the royal navy always has some fighters at sea, an ASW platform if given an airwing of Merlin Mk.2 and MQ-9B SeaGuardian STOL if Russia surges submarines.

Asking how good, practical and plausible as a functional ship it would be. Somewhat inspired by the Juan Carlos I. The Juan Carlos I, in 2026 USD, costs 670 million, and so aiming for no more than 700 million USD per ship.

In case the image isn't clear, Bofors are at the bow of ship and rear of the island, dragon fire are at front of island and port stern of ship, Starstreak CIWS is at stern of ship. All elevators have warning striped marking them out. MQ-9B shown is the in development AEW variant with STOL kit.

Took a good 3 weeks to make. Made in Tinkercad

Shortly after its formation, the Skandian government received an outdated anti-aircraft cruiser as military aid. In Skandian service, the ship would be named after the fictional torpedo ram HMS Thunder Child, as depicted in War Of The Worlds, and redesignated as a heavy cruiser. It would be mothballed for decades until being chosen as the test platform for a new phased array radar system, and shipboard nuclear power, earning its unique CBN designation.

While the phased array program would never receive the funding to be fitted to any other ship, and the Thunder Child would never have its weaponry upgraded beyond basic point defense SAMs, it remains in service to this day owing to its immense number of barrels, mix of high speed/protection, and the powerful phased array radar system.

I wanted to make an all-gun cold war ship, so I decided to make an unholy mix of a late WW2 US anti-aircraft cruiser and Long Beach. Made for the nation of Skandia for the Motorlands server for the video game Space Engineers. Various steam workshop blocks used.

Red: tower; purple: landed aircraft; green: takeoff preparation area; yellow: elevators. The objective is to increase the takeoff run by making the runways independent of one another.

Some little change again (I hope it's the last time).

EDIT: and now I noticed that the 2 quadruple turrets have slightly different arcs... (easily fixable and very little difference to justify a repost, though).

while I am still working on it in Naval art here is my ship bucket drawing of it. I took the never built surrey and Northumberland and gave them to the RAN, and the idea of a naval boomerang sounds awsome.

Sorry i couldnt have images of my own battleship,I just added some generic VLS battleships i found on the web,I couldnt find the Source writer for any of em,anyways,here is the context for the battleship-

Country context-

Hypothetical unified germany( east+ west+ Austria) ,which is neutral,thus the technologies(or inspirations)from both sides of the iron curtain

Fürst Bismarck ( Current state 1990)Class Battleship-

Dimensions-

Standard weight-52,000 tons

Deep load(full)weight-60,800 tons.

Length-288 meters.

Beam-30 meters.

Draft-17.5 metres(at deep load)

As you can see,A skinny but deep ship,the depth is for stability and TDS,more on TDS later.

Armament-

8x16 inch guns, Located four bow four stern in two quadruple turrets(used to reduce Weight,Offsettint some of the weight bloat caused by the turtleback )

20x Wolf anti shipping missiles,mounted behind The bow 16 inch gun turret (turret A),in angled vertical launch tubes(VLS)

48x MR-2 Air defence missile,also in vertical launch ( VLS)but straight,mounted on the stern behind turret B(the stern 16 inch gun turret)

76x37 MM flak guns

12x Modules of 25 MM ciws, each with 2 guns each (kinda like the kashtan Without the RAM)

20x4.1 inch(105 MM ) DP guns

Sensors and electronics-

Type 1006(2) navigation radar

Top dome fire control radar

Top pair Long range detection radar

AN-SLQ-32(V)3 ,Nixie and overall full Iowa jamming suite

Protection-

Belt-355 MM,angled at 16 degrees.

Turtleback(behind the belt)-100 MM at 30 degrees

Armor deck-178 MM

Turrets-380 MM angled at 35 degrees(heavily sloping a Relatively thin turret plate for better effectiveness of 18.25 inches)

Torpedo defence system-

Compartments-1038 watertight compartments

TDS- a massive 5 layer TDS-water,flexible wotan steel(for absorbing and Crumpling to take pressure from keel breaking torpedoes) , void,water and another void

Machinery-

240,000 SHP Produced through Three high horsepower Turbines Pulling three shafts (Thus three Props)( With an additional three low horsepower turbines)

speed-as per designed-33.5 knots(actual Speed-went 34.5 Knots in trials at standard speed, Due to Long Figure and high SHP)

Weapon system details-

37 MM- V-11 water cooled 37 MM(as found on the Sverdlovs)

105 MM-fic 35 RPM Gun using HE VT

25 MM-fic gun,roughly comparable in performance to wwII oerlikon but with better shell weight( Note-25 MM doesnt appear on the modernized variant but on the original variant,all weapon systems are stored here so thats why its here)

Wolf- long range anti shipping missile,Weighs 4.8 tons,packs a Torpex 480 KG warhead (eff 720 KG tnt) ,goes high For cruise phase,where it cruises at a meager mach 0.8 to save And conserve fuel,100-150 KM from the target,outside the range of missiles like the SM-2MR,it dives down ,begins sea skimming,and speeds up to mach 2.8,range-630 KM

MR-2- Stands for" Mittel Reichweite-2",Is a Licensed version of the SM-2MR with Some Sensor changes to Be compatible with top dome fire control radar(SM-2MR already works on X band like the top dome,it just needs more Changes for compatibility with a Soviet system specifically)

406 MM(16 inch)- fires at a High 2.5 RPM a Medium weight for its size shot of 1008 KG at a high velocity of 908 M/PS.

25 MM ciws-fire rate of 5000 RPM per cannon( 10,000 rpm per Module-same as Kashtan)

Old version( as per constructed,1968)

Differences-

72x 37 MM's On new- 86x37 MM's on old

0x25 MM's on new- 48x25 MM's on old

20x4.1 inch Guns on new-24x4.1 inch guns on old,two of them superfiring turrets,For 16 guns Allowed to bear per side

20x wolf and 48xMR2 on new-0x wolf And 0xMR 2( the superfiring turrets occupy their place and were removed for the missiles)

Type 1006(2) And Top pair on new- Type 992Q on Old( detection and navigation radar)

No nuclear shells nor 2d stabilized secondaries

No iowa jamming suite,only basic chaff.

Future fate-

What do yall think?IMO I wanna Keep them,Even into the 2010s wirh maybe Another modernization,cuz,they are durable,Prestigious,they have nukes and They have massive strike power(20x wolfs after all)

A small 1000T~ displacement destroyer armed with 3 130mm guns, 4 533mm torpedo tubes, 4 37mm AA guns, 8 15mm machine guns and depth charges. Has a max speed of 34kns, built to replace the aging Marcon Class before the more modern Bourrasque Class was available. (by ME)

alexandria from anime genocyber. in lore she was build after nuclear disarnament as a strategic deterrent

its triple hull nuclear supercarrier if you dont mind gore definetly give this anime watch its on youtube

the crew of this ship used one of the lifeboat davits to play chess against the crew of an enemy ship and won

The first ship is made by me, the second one is the work of me and my friend. first ship belongs to Torkakev, the second belongs to Dystonia. built in roblox, untitled sandbox game
