My design ships prpoposal

[TheKaramelka]

Here I will not make a suggestion for the branches. Here I want to show what ships I drew, starting from projects, references, or just "what if" (as developers) and created some ships. I hope you will like it:

French aircraft carrier Pégoud:

Spoiler

A few days ago, you could already watch it: the project and what if, the creation of an aircraft carrier based on the hull of the Alsace class battleship project after the war, since the French after the war very much wanted aircraft carriers and wanted to get them in any way.

Tactical and technical characteristics:

Spoiler

Displacement: 40600 t

Deck: 105 mm

Armor belt: 105 mm

Overall length: 268 m

Hangar: 76 aircraft

Secondary Armament:

12х2 127 mm/54 Mle 1948 on an Mle 1948 mount

AA defense:

12х2 127 mm/54 Mle 1948 on an Mle 1948 mount

12х2 57 mm/60 Mle 1951 on an ACAD Mle 1948 mount

Maximum speed: 34,3 kts.

 

French aircraft carrier Ile-de-France:

Spoiler

As in the case of the previous one, a post-war project. However, he has the right to live and is quite real. The fact is that the battleship Strasbourg was really seriously considered for restructuring into a light aircraft carrier, but due to the high cost, the plan was not implemented.

Spoiler

Displacement: 29700 t

Deck: 30 mm

Armor belt: 100 mm

Overall length: 215,1 m

Hangar: 36 aircraft

36х1 20 mm Oerlikon on a Mk.2 mount

Maximum speed: 32,5 kts.

 

French aircraft carrier France:

Spoiler

You could also watch it: this is my implementation of the conversion of the hull of the battleship Jean Bart into an aircraft carrier. Like Strusburg, Jean Bart was considered as an aircraft carrier conversion. However, I decided to reconsider my restructuring of the United States, with its weapons, if France decided to rebuild the battleship at its own facilities, and arming it with its weapons of the 50s.

Italian aircraft carrier Аvvoltoio:

Spoiler

When I was looking for ships for the Italian aircraft carrier development branch, I found that the option of rebuilding the large laner Rex into an aircraft carrier was considered, since it was quite large in size, but it was also the object of serious propaganda, which is why the liner was chosen for restructuring Roma (Aquila).

American battleship Charlotte:

Spoiler

Sketch design of a battle cruiser. One of a series of preliminary designs prepared in response to Chief Designer David Taylor's instruction to his design staff dated April 9, 1918, to prepare designs combining the qualities of a battleship and a battlecruiser in a new type of ship. This drawing D was prepared by Royal Navy designer Stanley Goodall in parallel with James Bates' preliminary drawing D of the fast battleship design, but using British design practice. During the war, Goodall was sent to the United States on an exchange. Ships of such a high-speed battleship type were not built at that time.

When drawing this project, I naturally adhered to the project, however, like Vermont, Minnesota and Kansas, I carried out modernization with completion of superstructures

Sketch design of a battle cruiser. One of a series of preliminary designs prepared in response to Chief Designer David Taylor's instruction to his design staff dated April 9, 1918, to prepare designs combining the qualities of a battleship and a battlecruiser in a new type of ship. This drawing, Diagram C, was prepared by Royal Navy designer Stanley Goodall in parallel with James Bates's preliminary design for the fast battleship, but using British design practice. During the war, Goodall was sent to the United States on an exchange. Ships of such a high-speed battleship type were not built at that time.

Pan-American battleship Brasil:

Spoiler

The largest and at the same time the most mysterious project is a variant of the Riauchello-class battleship. The project was only described as being fairly large and armed with 12 381mm guns. The sketch was not worked out because it was required to develop 3-gun turrets for guns of this caliber.
When developing this ship, I started from the Atlantico already present in the game

Italian cruiser Audace:

Spoiler

Variant 1:

Variant 2:

After the war, the cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi underwent a major modernization, after which the appearance of the ship changed dramatically.

Germany cruiser Berlin:

Spoiler

One of the variants of the P-type cruisers was supposed to be a light cruiser. Initially, there was 150 mm armament, but in January of the following, 1937, a timid attempt was made to bring an essentially weak ship to a reasonable combat power by arming it with 170-mm guns. were fully developed, I decided to see if all the same these weapons would be adopted

I mean, for the carriers, what tier will they be in and what will their planes' gimmick be?

I'd love to know if anyone has or plays Aquila, and whether that's a viable plan for an Italian CV line.

 

I have my thoughts about a French one (based on owning Bearn) which I won't repeat as they're on one of the previous threads.

I'm also interested in Aquila, I would like to rework the assumption on Italian aircraft carriers, as well as rework some ships outwardly

Ditto, but 11K doubloons is not a small amount to drop on an experiment. I do have a spare coupon or two though....
