That one puzzles me abit lol...

since you like creating ships that "might" have been there, then when you have time look into

Running sea trials with Kii as im writing this

I actually did the No.13 aswell. Kii Amagi. Both are pretty much the same. Same length, beam and arnament.

Looks well ..... There is still now (maybe in the next time) the french warships (cl,ca+bb)!

[Admiral Von Gerlach]

Amazing work Karle, just remarkable..some beautiful ships you have made, there are now some very nice French ships for actions that they were in, and the italian ships are very nice as well. First rate all around.

[Karle94]

So I have been experimenting with some 3D stuff. And came up with this:






Bet that most of you would´t recognise that ship. She is one of the most easily recogniseable ship ever made.

Assuming you mean Iowa, then yes. This is how the Iowa and New Jersey looked like when they were commisioned in 43. Missouri and Wisconsin had the fully enclosed bridge we are used to from the start. Iowa and New Jersey got them during refits in 45.

Here are some previews of my work in the recent past.

Only the first 5 or 6 of the Cleveland cruisers had the stock Cleveland rounded bridge while the rest had a Baltimore-ish superstructure. So I made them:


The successor to the Brooklyns, the St. Louis class:


Different bridge, the Brooklyns got them as well in 42:


Baltimore with two aft platforms for dual 5"/38s that were missing from the original model. I also added the Mark 34 FCD foward and aft:


The Brooklyns that comes with the game are armed wrong. In the game they have 4 dual 5"/38s. In real life they had 8 5"/25 AA guns. So I made it so:


Updated New Orleans:


Updated Wichita:


The bridge has been remade and looks a lot more like it`s supposed to look like than the original:




New bridge for the SoDak. It`s a much smaller Iowa open bridge, than the original:




This is a new one; The Queen Victoria class from an AU website. It is basicly a 5 turreted version of the Queen Elizabeth class. The hull is based on the SHV Hood and the superstructure is made up from both the SHV Queen Elizabeth and KGV. I think these are quite the handsome lot:

This is the 8"/55 Mark 15 to be used on the New Orleans:




The 8"/55 Mark 12 used on the Wichita, Baltimore and Oregon City:



The stock Baltimore has the 8"/55 Mark 14 used on the Pensacola, Northampton, Portland and the first 3 or 4 New Orleans. It is longer and has a rounded face.

Karle, it seems you need to update your blog.

[Karle94]

The SoDak has been redesigned, again.









The Iowa has undergone some changes as well.
