Shipbucket

she is a bit different. special in how the superstructure on here is build.

That's because it's a Japanese ship which characteristically had tall superstructures - American ships did not.

well, Emperor basically gave me freedom to rearrange the design so that's the second WIP for CB-08:

main gun turrets are now slighty bigger (after all they, each, house three 14-inch guns, wich are bigger than the 12-inch sported by the Alaskas), the hull is roughly 10 meters longer and 2 meters beamier compared to the Alaska in order to hold the extra 5-inch mounts and the 14-inch turrets; superstructure is now as tall as the Alaska's (actually even 6 inches lower) and i also reverted back to the original funnel.

for what's worth, springsharp says she has the same range as CB-01 and can sustain the same 33-knots top speed, she displaces 34.692 Tons standard and 40.368 at full load, armour Values are the same as Alaska except for main guns (turret fron tickness at 15-inches), barbettes (14-inches) and Conning Tower (14-inches); also it was possible to give CB-08 a 2-inch torpedo bulkhead, thus improving underwater protection.

Well, yeah.

You've just designed an under-gunned and armored North Carolina (the original North Carolina design was 4*3 14" instead of the 3*3 16" they got built with).

While this is so, North Carolina sure wasn't a 33 knot boat.

I just enjoyed reading your thread, too. Keep on with it!

Whoo! First post!

I just wanna say that this whole thread was amazing.
All of these ship designs just rekindle the naval warfare nut within me.

However, I've noticed that some of the images earlier in the thread are no longer available (cursed Photobucket).
I assume that it won't be possible to retrieve those images?

I have the pics, but I'm probably not going to repost them until I rework some things.
