[WIP]IJN Nagato near release
 

This ship looks veary nice.:D

looks like the IJN is kickin' it old school. I'm overjoyed to have a more Japanese tonnage to send to Davy Jones' locker!! :arrgh!:

how did the devs not put this ship in game??

Well done, sir.

That was fast.:o

Looking forward to sailing alongside her ! :)

Beautiful work ! :up:

Beautiful! Im not sure if ivan has mentioned this but with your permision we would love to put this into the TSWSM :up:

Like the linoleum deck by the cat.

why did the Japanese use Linoleum on their ships? is there a specific reason or did they just want to join the flooring wave of the future?

Looking good. I look forward to seeing her in my periscope sights. :up:

I think they initially used it as a no-slip surface that allowed better traction while wet, particularly over steel deck. The trouble is they found out early in the war that it was terribly flammable (linseed oil mixed with wood or cork dust). Many ships had it removed as the war progressed.

So for a late war fit, it could well have been removed, even from the aircraft deck.

Could you make sure that what looks to be the binoculars up on the pagoda have at least one bino/stand as a single object, not connected to the bridge or hull?

That would be SO useful for dolling up the other BBs, and indeed many other ships that had binocular mounts for the watch crew.

Just like it is useful on merchant ships to have the ventilation pipes and masts so we can move them!
