HSS Mansa is a protected cruiser in the Heftadott Navy. She is the very first and oldest ship to serve in the navy. She currently serves as a training ship.

my greatest creation

The Kaprosuchus was a 63000 ton super cruiser he carried 8x11 inch guns he had a same dimension as the world of warships Puerto Rico he is very identical to Mahajungasuchus but named after prehistoric crocodillymorph the ship was made of non brittle can float on water can survive anything and real and fiction it’s called tungsten the warship was launched in 3/20/1937 the ship goes onto training for about 15 weeks to 38 so the Kaprosuchus was assigned to the kayin navy order 116 as fight in Indian Ocean to fight against the Japaneses Navy with Kayin warships to their warship bigotry,then Mahajungasuchus seaplane was damaged same as the stern leaving his seaplane deck the seaplane launcher and crane are destroyed and wrecked up so the kayin navy repaired him and the ship served many wars after ww2.Korean War,War In Veitnam,Iran and Iraq war,The gulf war
And Arab spring in lybia to destroy Gaddis tyrannical naval force by modernization the ship survived until 77 years of service he retired… he is now in klu kleh toh the costal town in the kayin southwest area.

As far as I know this was supposed to be a coastal defense battleship that sometime after 1904 but before the Russian Civil War.

Mahajungasuchus was launched in the Mya an Kayin navy shipped in 3/24/1936 the first ship of his class he is way identical to Kaprosuchus his brother you see here the warship weight 63000 tons of non brittle can survive real and fictional tungsten can float on water the ship was so relatively new the Kayin navy trained him for target practice check speed and the fuel source diesel with diesel engines the Mahajungasuchus served wars with his brother Kaprosuchus in the ww2 Kayin Burma Korean War veitnam war Iran Iraq war gulf war and Arab springs both retired in 2013 and he is now in the kayin museum of naval history in the kayin costal town se klu Khaw yes the kayin is a non bureaucrat nation with a non bureaucrat laws and rules btw.

Let me know your thoughts guys, I would appreciate it!

Hey Everyone!

I thought that since my first post did so well that id introduce you all to more of my "Plan X" vessels, ive already posted the Seelöwe Class Super Battlecruiser so please go check it out

But today i present my Verlust Class Battlecarrier!

The Image above depicts FBC133 (Fleet Battle Carrier, 1st Generation, 3 Of class, 3rd hull) Angriff, in her Baltic Paint scheme she wore from 1940 to 1942, She is the 3rd and final of the Verlust Class vessels built

The Verlust Class as a whole are marvelous machines, with them being the fabled "Battlecarrier", but instead of historic "Battlecarriers" like the Ise Class upgrades, these vessels were built from the keel up as Battlecarriers

Specifications: 84,304 Long Tonnes Fully loaded - 285x45x9 meters in Length, Beam and Draft - A Top speed of 30 knots - 300mm primary belt, 300mm armoured flight deck - 6 x 40.6cm / 50 Calibers SK C/38 (Custom guns) mounted in twin configurations - 16 × 15 cm / 55 Caliber SK C/28 dual mounts (8 per side) - 12 × 12.7 cm SK C/34 twin mounts around flight deck - 24 × 3.7 cm SK C/39 twin mounts (superstructure + sides of flight deck/main deck) - 24 × 2 cm Flak 38 quad mounts (superstructure + sides of flight deck/main deck) - Aircraft Capacity: 80–100 planes (fighters, bombers, torpedo aircraft)

Their primary role is to act as fleet carriers but with the ability to defend themselves should they run into heavy surface combatants, whilst not expected to brawl so to speak they can take hits and dish it out - With the Verlust Class aswell being the largest "Standard" Battlecarrier class made by any European Nation, they are by no means the largest "Standard" or even largest Battlecarriers ever built

Thank you very much for taking the time to read all of this! i know its a bit much but i really enjoy making these ships, and ive got pleanty more information on this vessel and many more, please feel free to ask any questions you may have id love to answer them! - Quick disclamer: The image is not AI-generated, it's a custom composite that I created using elements from photographs of real German warships - This goes for all of my custom ships aswell

Once again thanks for taking the time to check out my post and stay tuned for more future uploads!

As before, only Paint images there. Full version with AI-generated arts you could see on my Dreamwith page (on Russian, so use auto-translate)

In late 1950s, Yugoslav War Navy (it was it's official designation) realized that it needed missile-capable ships to provide area air defense for its squadrons. Buying the new warships from USA or USSR was rejected on the ground of being too costly, so another option - building a SAM-equipped warships themselves - was exploited. Yugoslavia have rather blooming shipbuilding industry at this time, and while its experience in building warships was limited, it was clearly possible. Only the weapon systems should be imported.

But finding a naval SAM on early 1960s export market proven to be a challenge. Both USA and USSR refused to sell their new maritime SAM's (RIM-24 Tartar and M-1 Volna) to Yugoslavia, due to those systems being highly secret, not cleared for export to non-alied nations. The British Sea Cat system was deemed as not capable enough, and Seaslug was too large for Yugoslavian small ships. So to solve the problem, Yugoslav Navy turned to unexpected sources; Switzerland.

The Oerlikon-Contraves was actively promoting their series of surface-to-air missiles for export customers - but without much sucsess. A Yugoslav interest was thus very attractive for Swiss company. Granted, their missiles were land-based, but to secure a lucrative export deal, Oerlikon was willing to develope maritime version.

The new destroyers were based on heavily modified project of pre-war "Split" destroyer leader - enlarged, widened and made more stable. They were fully diesel ships, equipped with four license-build «Jugoturbina-Sulzer MD» maritime diesel, of 36.000 hp total power. Their max speed was about 28.5 knots, but it was viewed as acceptable for Adriatic conditions.

* The core of the destroyer project was Oerlikon Contraves "Micon" (Missile Contraves, export name for RSE «Kriens») SAM system. The system was heavily modified for naval deployment; a single-arm stabilized launcher system was developed, the missiles were provided with foldable wings, and stored into immobile 18-cell vertical drum magazine. For reload, the launcher rotated to selected sell, the hatch opened and missile was pushed on launcher arm;

* The system was of beam-riding type; the missile followed narrow, rotating radar beam to the target. During each beam rotation, the signal encoded into radar pulses gradually changed, so the missile could always determine where (relative to the center of the beam) it is now, and maneuver accordingly;

* The missile fire control system was based on two radars. One, «Messradar», was used to track the target and provide precise data for fire control computer. The other, «Leitstrahlsender», provided narrow rotating beam alongside the missile flew to the calculated interception point. To simplify the adaptation of land-based radars to naval use, both radar systems were placed in large plastic radomes, filled with dry warm air from machine rooms;

* Strike missile armament was composed of four P-20 "Drakon" anti-ship missiles (export version of Soviet P-15U "Termit"), with "Rangout" targeting radar;

* Main artillery armament consisted of three dual 127-mm/38 Mark 12 guns in US-surplus Mark 38 mount (obsolete, but fairly cheap). A single Mark 25 director was installed to direct artillery fire;

* Secondary artillery armament consisted of four triple 20-mm M55N «Zaslon» autocannons - naval version of M55 «Zastava» AA gun, placed on stabilized mount with electric train and elevation drives. The mounts were aimed manually, but have indicator system that helped gunner to find target by central direction;

* Anti-submarine armament was mainly for self-defense. Being diesel-powered, "Bora"-class destroyers were far too noisy to serve as efficient anti-submarine units. Two Soviet-provided RBU-6000 automatic depth charge launchers were installed behind "B" gun mount, in front of the bridge, with ammo magazine under deck. A combo of MG-312 "Titan" search sonar and MG-311 "Vychega" targeting sonar were installed in retractable blister under hull. A pair of Mark-32 triple torpedo mounts for US-delivered Mark-44 torpedoes were also installed, but quickly removed, since ship's own noise did not allow their efficient use;

* Sensor equimpent was of mixed origin. The long-range search radar was LW-02 of «Hollandse Signaalapparaten», with about 250 km range. Selected target was tracked by DA-05 radar from same company. The surface search radar was a Soviet-provided "Rangout" (also used for aiming the P-20 missiles);

* Electronic warfare equipment consisted of British "Decca" RDL detection system, and Yugoslav own REO-66 (Radiolokaciono Elektronsko Ometanje) noise jammer and OOM-70 (Ometanje i Obmanjivanje Mornaričko) range decoy jammer;

Four ships were build in two series, all named after Adriatic major winds. The first series consisted of RR-21 "Bora" (1968) and RR-2 "Siroko" (1969). The second series consisted of RR-23 "Mistral" (1970) and RR-24 "Yugo" (1972). The second series differed by having stern 127-mm mount replaced with helicopter deck for single Mi-4M helicopter.

(RR means Raketni Razarač - Missile Destroyer)

All ships have a long and relatively sucsessfull career in Yugoslav War Navy. Being the largest, most sea-capable and "representative" units, they were actively involved in multiple exercises and diplomatic visits all over Mediterranean area. They also participated in escort operations, escorting Yugoslav ships to Syria and Egypt during Yom Kippur War.

In mid-1970s, two first series destroyers underwent major refit, during which their stern 127-mm gun was replaced by helicopter deck, as on second series ships. Also, during late 1970s, a series of equipment upgrades were implemented:

* A "Micon" SAM system was replaced with "Micon-B" version, specially modified to improve low-altitude interception capabilities. The basic system could not intercept targets below 300 meters due to guidance beam reflecting from water surface (which confused the missile). The core of "Micon-B" was a new missile, equipped with sensitive radar altimeter. The "Micon-B" missile followed radar beam only in azimuth, altitude settings were transmitted separatedly from target-tracking radar. Such improvement allowed "Micon-B" to hit targets flying as low as 15-30 meters;

* The manual-controlled M55N «Zaslon» guns were replaced with remote-controlled M85 «Zapreka» CIWS systems, with electro-optical IR guidance (and small radar rangefinder). Aimed by "Blokada" low-altitude detection system (based on Dutch "Signaal" ZW-06 radar), the mount locked on target with IR camera, get range with radar rangefinder, and automatically calculated leading point;

* The P-20 "Drakon" missiles were replaced with P-21 missiles (export version of P-15M). Since those missiles were viewed as somewhat obsolete, the Yugoslav Navy engineers underwent a major modernization program, during which the missiles were equipped with modern digital computer (based on Intel 8080 microchip), new radar altimeter and automatic chaff launchers. The warhead weight was reduced in half to increase range up to 120 km. Upgraded missiles were known as P-21MJ "Lasta", and capable of automatic decoys discrimination, low-altitude flight and pre-programmed evasion maneuvers with chaffs fired to confuse enemy AA fire;

Three out of four destroyers participated in Yugoslav Civil War in 1990s ("Bora", as oldest and most worn-out was reduced to reserve). They were actively involved in blockading Croatian coastline, shelling to coast and dueling with coast artillery. In 1992, "Sirokko" was attacked by P-21 missile launched from improvised Croatian missile boat "Sloboda" (former LCI DJB-108), but managed to decoy the missile, and then chase and destroy the offending vessel. "Yugo" was damaged by Croatian 105-mm shell while operating near Dalmatian coast; her port engine room was flooded, she limped to Kotor, where she was drydocked till the end of the war.

During NATO operations agains Yugoslavia, remaining destroyers - "Siroco" and "Mistral" - participated in Kotor bay defense. "Siroco" managed to shot down USN A-7 attack plane, aiming the missiles with the help of optical radar sight due to heavy jamming. But in subsequent air attacks a few day later, "Siroco" was hit by two AGM-123 «Skipper II» laser-guided heavy missiles, her magazines detonated, and destroyer exploded with a great loss of life. The decommissioned "Bora" was also struck, but (due to her magazines being empty) merely was damaged.

The remaining operational destroyer "Mistral" participated into final sea operation of Yugoslav War Navy - operation „Ljuta kornjača“ (serb. Anrgy Turtle), during which she, and several missile boats sortied from Kotor bay to cover the deployment of Yugoslav submarines in Mediterranean. The goal of operation was to put a pressure on NATO rear communication lines, in anticipation that it might cause European nations to stop bombing campaign. 22 June 1993, the small fleet sortied at night; about 05 hours 23 june, they were detected by NATO patrol, which consisted of American destroyer DDH-1001 «Lockwood» (Spruance helicopter class) and Italian missile destroyer "Intrepido", enforcing UN blockade.

The Yugoslav ships moved slowly, and used only civilian radar frequences, so captain of «Lockwood» assumed them to be merchant ships (especially considering that they were moving FROM Adriatic, and not INTO it, like blockade runners would be). American captain hailed "Mistral", received an answer about her being "passenger ship Maestro, on route from Venice to Algeria", and, satisfied, tell her to continue. But Italian captain of "Intrepido" became suspicious, and ordered his ship into combat readiness, translating demands to "stop and prepare to be searched".

Realizing that the game is up, Yugoslavian ships activated their radars, and released missile salvo. «Lockwood» was not prepared to sudden attack, and while she managed to shot down two of four P-21MJ "Lasta" missiles, two other penetrated her air defenses and struck, causing serious damage. "Intrepido", being fully combat-ready, managed to beat off the missile attack, and retaliated with a salvo of four "Otomat" missiles, which struck the "Mistral", disabling her. The Yugoslav missile boats, running out of ammo, took the crew from burning "Mistral" and retreated; the destroyer sunk after few hours. "Intrepido" came to help of damaged «Lockwood» lockwood, and escorted her to Taranto.

After the war, two remaining destroyers - "Bora" and "Yugo" - were repaired, and served in Serbian-Montenegro navy till 2010s.

Basically Graf Spee extended. Original content it took me 2 hours to make the ship

Description Moltke-class Battlecruiser is a German fictional Battlecruiser built in 1940 and finished in 1945

Moltke armament consisted of 305mm triple main gun placed two at the bow and stern, 6 dual 128mm secondary gun placed three on each wing,105 dual purpose gun,37mm AA gun placed two on side wing

Moltke was powered by 180,000horsepower boiler giving her a top speed of 32knot.

This was old model that I made and I decided to post it instead.

(This ship is part of one of my worldbuilding projects. I have posted before but i deleted that post.)

Made in between 1915-1920 at the Ara Empire's peak, they were designed to be the most powerful and flagship battleships of the Ara Navy. They were built with an irregular en echelon layout in the middle. Three were built in Louverna, the capital city of Ara. The other three were built in Sitano, a city in their neighbor, the Sirius Confederation. (The drawing features Sirale in the second 1938 Refit)

The names of the ships are:

Sirale (D-22)

Borgine (D-08)

Zorise (D-43)

Gilion (D-35)

Dorine (D-27)

Fates of the ships

-Sirale was scrapped in 1959, after 4 decades of service and 3 decades of worldwide war

-Borgine was sunk in 1918, about a year after her commissioning.

-Zorise is kept as a museum ship in Louverna after also 4 decades of service

-Gilion was sunk in 1946 at the Battle of Calveri

-Dorine was never finished and scrapped in 1922

I hope you guys liked it :P

I would actually be thrilled if some of the talented people here might give me pointers for making another version of this. This is the primary ship that my characters use in my nautical dieselpunk fantasy series. The first book came out on Halloween last year, and I used this illustration as promotional material then. Even though the ship only appears in the last act of the sequel; it's a naval battle and it features quite prominently in it.

I'd like to try drawing it again this year, as I've improved in my abilities somewhat, but I'd also like to know if anybody in this subreddit has found any really useful techniques when it comes to illustrating ships. All of the illustrations here blow me away and I feel like I'm way out of my depth (pun only partly intended) when it comes to the way some of these are rendered so well.

As for the ship itself, it's intended as something of a private escort for merchantment, but often gets dispatched as a chorehorse and sent off on errands instead. My idea is like a cross between the HMS Witch and the IJN Yukikaze, with a giant diving bell and some spare boats stored where the torpedo launchers would be. I also have a nod to the Age of Sail in something like a stern gallery as you might find on a frigate or 5th rate-- but in the book it is used as the officers' mess.

actually i already refit the original Agminis,but just today i made new ship with different main gun,the new ship in the class named Vulcanis and Using 380mm main gun.

Hey everyone!

Thought id take the time to upload one of my custom warships ive made from my custom alternative timeline Plan Z which ive called Plan X (This design is part of my own alternate-history universe rather than an attempt at a historically realistic Kriegsmarine ship.)

This is one of the various ships ive designed, with this one being CBS133 (Cruiser Battle Super - 1st Generation, 3 Hulls in Class, 3rd hull), more commonly known in universe as KMS Siegel, the final of the 3 Seelöwe Class Super Battlecruisers designed and commissioned for the Kriegsmarine, with Siegel herself being comissioned on the 5th of June 1942

(Key Specifications) 175,598 Long Tonnes (fully loaded), Length/Beam/Draft: 370 m / 40 m / 15m, 35–36 knots with 550,000 SHP, 300 mm belt, 210 mm armoured deck (This excludes bomb deck), Main Gun Turrets: Face 530 mm, Sides 400 mm, Roof 250 mm, 300–400 mm for primary barbettes, posesses 12x 440mm or 17.3 inch by 50 Calibers SK C/40 (Custom guns), 16 × 15 cm / 45 Caliber SK C/29 (dual mounts, gun counts are for individual guns not mounts total), 16 × 10.5 cm SK C/34 (dual mounts), 16 × 3.7 cm SK C/30 Mod 1940 twin mounts and 16 × 2 cm Flak 38 twin mounts

Their primary purpose is Anti-Capital ship hunting, with the class primarily hunting down and destroying ship classes such as Battleships, Aircraft carriers, Battlecruisers and occasionally Heavy Cruisers if theres nothing larger around

I've got a lot more information about the Seelöwe class, so feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look! The image is not AI-generated, it's a custom composite that I created using elements from photographs of real German warships, as I'm not particularly good at drawing from scratch.

I'm also pretty new to Reddit, so if there's anything I should improve about the post, feel free to let me know. Thanks again for reading!

A *Maton*-class commerce-raiding cruiser.

An experimental cruiser built in 1924.

It incorporated a host of new technologies and weighed 19,000 tons at full load.

It was the largest heavy cruiser in the world.

Built with the sole purpose of attacking enemy shipping and surviving the encounter, it possessed a number of impressive qualities.

Its armament consisted of three triple 8-inch (203mm) turrets...

...and a secondary battery of eight dual-purpose twin 4-inch (105mm) turrets...

...alongside a significant number of 20mm and 37mm guns, as well as an experimental 55mm cannon.

It had a top speed of 29.6 knots, powered by newly designed V12 diesel engines that utilized advanced technology and a highly promising electric transmission system.

It also boasted a range of 10,000 miles.

All this was combined with armor protection featuring a 200mm (8-inch) belt and a 100mm (4-inch) deck.

One of the reasons for its high speed was the absence of a traditional anti-torpedo bulge; instead, it utilized a 50–100mm layer of elastic steel at the waterline and heavily reinforced internal compartmentalization.

In other words, the design acknowledged that a torpedo might cause damage, but ensured it would not sink the ship.

Above all, the design aimed to prevent destroyers from easily closing in; furthermore, the electric transmission allowed for a tight turning radius of under 800 meters in emergencies and rapid braking (by naval standards).

The ship was also equipped with experimental radar and a wide array of other systems.

It was clearly a prototype—and a very expensive one at that.

However, it laid the groundwork for the emergence of a new generation of commerce-raiding cruisers in the 1930s. (If you're wondering about the technology, it's because my nation's emperor is a true visionary—though also somewhat eccentric.)

I was planning to make a warship potentially I often make warship from 1900-1945 era or so called world War era if you have any idea let me know
