Funny you should say that. I was looking at the top drawing of those wonderful Russian ones that Ace posted and was thinking about a Never were.

Wow, I didn't know they were supposed to have Exocets. Another case of fitted for but not carried in RN ships.

Do you know where they were supposed to be fitted?

To the side of the Seadart there's a very nice empty spot where you can fit four tubes next to each other.

More likely they came to their senses and realised what a dumb idea it was.

Like fitting Seadart, right?

Seriously, fitting a few anti-ship missiles when the ship has been designed to take them is not a bad idea. I mean, it would have been a better idea to do what was done later: No Seadart, extend the flightdeck and increase the amount of munitions carried, but the British were working under different assumptions when the Invincibles were designed.

[quote="acelanceloet"]a few comments. I hope you don't mind me nitpicking the smallish things, because over all this is of course great work, so I have no big things to comment on :P

No not at all Ace mate. I welcome your comments and input. I think this is about fixed. The dark grey mast and funnel tops ar right for as commisioned. Illustrious came out with all grey. The only thing I tried and looked really messy was the bow cut outs on the top view, and you wouldn't see more than a few pixels through the bow cut outs.
