@Acelanceloet
I'm always willing to cooperate on creating more of these, as planned.
Btw. I think it would be good to finally expand descriptions for post-war destroyers and for frigates.

@JSB
These drawings were done by me.

Wow! Very informative, glad this one's being kept available for the newbies (and guys like me).

I'm just surprised nobody other than me it would appear posts them for newbies =\

Well THANKS for both of you I really like them.
JSB

Adding some pre-war merchant ships would be nice, and so I'll try to make some.

@Novice
I think it would be awesome!
(some post-war merchants would be great too, btw. - generally: common commercial vessels could be certainly useful, if there would be volunteers to participate)

novice, that sounds awesome. PM them to me when finished and I will make sure they end up in the first post, or at least on the first page, where they belong.
if nobody volunteers for modern commercial vessels, I might try those myself, I mean my study mentions them a lot more then naval ships

Hi inspired by this guide I thought I would do some battleships.

I thought that using a series of 'typical' real ships might show the general trends in battleship development.

Thinking that they would run along side maybe a few battlecruisers,

- pre Dreadnought's (Devastation/Royal Sovereigns/?)
- semi Dreadnought's (Satsuma/?)
- Dreadnought's(er dreadnught !/Invincibles/Helgoland-class)
- super Dreadnought's (Orion/Nevada class/Hood)
- WNT (Nelson/Dunkerque/North Carolina )
- post treaty ( Bismarck/Iowa/Yamato).

Yes this is RN biased if you can suggest other that are important milestones I(or we) can add them ?.

I give you my first WIP

Does this work (or should I draw a totally generic ship ? ) and how much detail should I put on ?

Any comments/corrections will be welcome, I'm sure many of you know more about battleships than I do.
(I hope eswube you don't mind me copying your style and Jabba your ship).

JSB

Minor point, but Iowa wasn't Post-Treaty. She was designed after both the caliber & displacement escalator clauses had been invoked, but prior to the treaty being abrogated.

@JSB
Nice work but based on the work I did with destroyers and frigates I'd like to suggest:
a) to make totally generic ship, only inspired by most representative examples of the era,
b) use minimum of details - no propellers, no searchlights, no ladder steps on masts, no actual guns, just locations for them, minimum details on conning tower; and since they are generic, no exact calibres etc. (no "13.5 inch" - just the bracket "from-to" - oh, and 95% of the World's population use metric system ).

On a note, I think it wouldn't be bad if such battleship preview started with the mid-19th century ironclads.

P.S. And I believe that when showing the usage of hull interior You should leave some space for keel.
P.P.S. Also I'd like to suggest using just one font for descriptions.
