Looks much better now, the Nassau-type layout looks particularly good.

Interesting fact on the side: One of the Nassau-class preliminary designs had cage masts as well.

Would a cage mast be suitable for the North Sea? I was under the impression that those types of masts caught the wind and caused excessive stress and movement in strong gales.

As I understand it, the shortcomings of cage masts weren't really known until they'd been in service for a number of years. Certainly the USN seemed to think they were the be-all and end-all solution to all mast problems.

The way I've heard it they used it because you didn't simply bring them down. The navy shot 200 12" shells at a replica of the South Carolinas mast without them coming down.

I have added a design number 3 with a layout that is based on a ship you'll never be able to guess.

If you want it to be truly impossible to guess then you should move the forward cage mast behind the forefunnel

What two-hundred 305mm shells can do, apparently the wind can do it to him

It is quite obvious to see from what ship it was taken, and as BB1987 said, move the mast behind the fore-funnel

Well this is after the cagemast was damaged by a barrel explosion, and wind plus heavy manouvres....
