Excellent drawings! Clever designs! And the antifouling paint of Romana is very nice!

Alright everyone! The deadline has been reached!

No more entries. The judging process will begin once I have found enough judges. It shouldn't take longer than a day or two.

Are you going to list the ships in the first (or last) page especially as some (pepembr_mb) have more than one version to make sure they get marked once?

The more look at it, the more I fall in love with Waritem's 1935 Class, just something about the overall layout draws me in.

I must say that this has probably been one of the most successful design challenges we've ever had.

Although Charguizard's French cruisers are so... quintessentially French, I have to say that for sheer practicality, Hood's Lancaster wins out.
Not the biggest, not an attempt to squeeze the last drop out of the treaty, but simply useful ships.

yes I adjoin, this was very nice challenge, and it gives hope we can have equally entertaining ones in the future. Lots of great designs submitted, also nice to see the pro-section of the bucket also participating. I naturally have my own favorites, but i keep my opions to myself

The challenge for me (full disclosure: I was asked to judge and politely declined) is that I can't wrap my mind around what the treaty-era requirements really were year by year, nation by nation, when I have the benefit of hindsight. Everything I see is through the lens of a US Navy with radar and VT fuzes in the Pacific.

If it doesn't ship at least 8 5/38s, it's dead to me

That's the issue with judging them should we judge,

1- Who will win a surface (in day/night or even AA) fight in 39-45?
2- Or start to take into account date, size and cost as well as what part of LNT (8"/6") they fit into?

Should we also judge drawing and design qualities seperatly or not?
