Hi,

heres a redo of an older drawing of mine:

The "Flugzeugträger 15.000t", is a rather obscure design for a Diesel powered light CV, that was apparently designed to be "mass produced".
It was planned in June of 1942 and was most likely designed with commerce raiding in mind, as were similar other German CV designs of the same year.

I am not sure, if this is an "official" Kriegsmarine design, as I only have one obscure secondary source on it.
It does strongly resemble the "Flugdeckkreuzer E V" and could very well be a variant of it.


The airwing would have consisted of twelve BF 109s and ten JU 87s, which could be launched with the assistance of two catapults.
In true German CV fashion, it was to be armed with eight 15cm guns in four twin casemate mounts.

Top speed was 24 knots with a stated range of 18.000nm at 19 knots.
The source suggests that there also was to be a three shaft variant with a top speed of 26 knots.

P.S.:
The drawing should replace the mislabeled "Flugzeugkreuzer" in the archive: http://www.shipbucket.com/drawings/6689

cheers!

Fantastic work and a great improvement over the already great-looking previous version.

It was labeled in the archive the way it was labeled in the original thread. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6353 8-)

Thanks guys!

@eswube:
I know, as I am the dummy who gave it an incorrect name in the first place. :oops:
Didnt mean to say that you added it with a wrong name to the archive. Thanks for all your effort, btw!

Gasp......would say compared with your older one this one is a quantum leap. Otherwise, the same as always with your newer drawings: Outstanding!

I'm not sure what most jumps out at me, but this is a particularly attractive drawing. She's diesel, presumably? How's the exhaust handled?

Any idea about the catapults of that carrier?
