nice Novgorodian ships

Nice ships!
One small correction: in Russian "Imperial Novgorodian Navy" will be look like "ВМФ Новгорода", but not "ВМФ Новгород". Such thing also with Workers and Peasants fleet: "РККФ Новгорода", but not "РККФ Новгород". "Новгород" means "Novgorod", but "Новгорода" means smth like "of Novgorod" (ex. Fleet of Novgorod - Флот Новгорода).
Hope you will correct it.

Thanks for the correction, I will add it in the future drawings.

Im still working on the post-WWII carrier force, I'll expect to be ready in couple of months and then finaly complete this AU series. While I'm on it, I was forced to make some changes to what I've posted in the past regarding the wwII era carriers. Kostromitinov which I originally tried to adopt as a one-of peculiriaty for the pre-war ship construction program is now moved to the post-war era where it properly belongs and deserves to be.

So here is updated entry for both the Kostromitinov and the Project 72 carriers. I'll edit the texts later on. Also before I introduce the Part III, I will repost the old pics via dropbox as the photobucket images are downsized beoyond repair.

This is a VERY impressive AU you got going here! Well done!

Though however choosing photobucket to store your work seems to have backfired, because nearly all the images are low res.

Yeah I know, they weren't used to be, its been while since I've posted them and between then and now the photobucket went down with resizing the pics. But like I said I will repost the old pics with dropbox before posting the new ones.

Ok we are done!

Its been hell of a operation but I now have drawn all the post 1945 ships, there are about 150 drawings to be posted. The plans to do this latest incarnation of my AU project started sometime around late 2014 and now over 3.5 half years its finaly near completion. Rather emotional moment, to be honest. Now looking back to it quite alot have happened alongside of that road and drawing the ships has been a great pleassure, dear hobby, bad distraction of everything important real-life matters and even therapy for some of the grimmer moments.

Before I start posting the main bulk of the pictures and accompanied explanations, here is a little taster. As there are not much auxiliarry ships never-wheres to use as a base, I initially decided to disregard that element of the fleet. However its role is so important that I decided to at least come up with the most obvious ones, fleet underway replacement ships.






I will also try to repost the older drawings which were lost after Photobucket went bad.
