Fishyfish Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 I've a lot of photos of Imperial Russian warships for.. various reasons. With a few Spanish wrecks sprinkled in. I'll continue to regurgitate them later. I love the photos of the USS Olympia! I hope to see her some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishyfish Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Despite their ignominious fate I've always found the Infanta Maria Teresa class armored cruisers to be such beautiful ships, both in life and in death.

Fishyfish Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Very nice! The Kongos are one of my favorite battlecruiser classes. Truth be told.. my toyota FJ cruiser is named Kongo as a result! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairo1 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) You can thank the French for those, Originally Akitsushima was also going to feature a Cannet Gun, However Japanese Naval thinkers though the quick firing 4.7 inch guns would be enough as the ludicrous load times of the 32cm guns made them theoretically ineffective. This Infuriated the French Naval attache ending Franco Japanese Naval cooperation. Intrestingly all 4 of these ships were also made in Japan. Please enjoy These Japanese Gunboats, Maya with her 2, 8 inch guns, and Akagi with her 4, 4.7cm guns Akagi was the first All steel hulled ship manufactured in Japan, and actually was only scrapped in the 50s Also Here is a Great little song Naming and showing Many ships From teh Russo Japanese War Era. Edited November 26, 2019 by Cairo1 4.7 cm to 4.7 inch (whoops) :P 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legioneod Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 USS Texas BB-1 By far one of my favorite early battleship designs, would be great to see something similar in-game one day. USS Louisiana Louisiana after her refit. USS Texas BB-35 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nereng Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 In the years before Norway declared independence from Sweden (1905) they had the foresight to buy four modern ships from England. (It is always a good idea to have a bit of a navy when you declare independence!) They were built by Armstrong/Elswick, Newcastle on Tyne in the years 1897-1899 and were between 3800 to 4200 ton displacement and each had two 8.2 inch guns and a smattering of 6 inch and smaller secondary guns. The first picture is of Skagerakeskadren (the Skagerak Squadron, all four plus a number of smaller destroyer types) number two is of Norge and Harald Hårfagre, and the third is of Eidsvold. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illya von Einzbern Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Some Takao-class. Takao Choukai Atago Maya Would love to have this hull in game ^^ The tower is so pleasing to eyes and these ship radiates power, prestige and what it means to be versatile samurai 😎 It's a petty that such gorgeous ships sleeps at the bottom of the sea. IJN knew how to design beautiful ships but could not build enough of them 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiki Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 A clear photo of one of the most beautiful cruisers (nominally) built to the terms of the 1922 Washington Naval treaty, Takao, in post-reconstruction configuration. The Chōkai, firing her main battery. Italian battleship Roma, seen from aft. The Aoba, one of the Japanese 'pre-treaty' 20-cm-gun cruisers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
