FD river/canal boat challenge

Sorta jumping off this one, Cold War Experimental ship challenge. Design a ship for the purpose of demonstrating new naval technology being developed during the cold war era.

Some suggestions

SB-scale
- Dreadnought armoured cruiser ca 1910 - more balanced than a battlecruiser
- non treaty cruiser for colonial work in th 1920s
- non treaty heavy cruiser ca 1940
- 1970s ASW corvette (a Parchim for the west)
- NATO large surface combantant ca 1980 to challenge Kirov/ Slava
- UK post Falkland replacement of HMS Tiger/ Blake
- 1980s SSG submarine

I do like the idea of a NATO large surface combatant
So i'll second that one

Didn't we just have a "large surface combatant" challenge?

Given the success of the last "real life" challenge and the length of time it's been since the last one, perhaps another such challenge would be a good idea? I can think of lots of fantastic artists who have made an impact on the personal design/alternative universe sections of the forum, but who have had little involvement in the arena of real designs - perhaps another foray into the real world would provide a valuable learning exercise for this forum's veteran members, new members, and infrequent contributors alike (myself included).

ie. gunboats, monitors, and sub-chasers

orbital space fighter (1960s-1990s) fd scale
light class mid-range low cost sedan/coupe for japanese auto market model years 1990-1995 (bubble era) franscale or spergscale

The United States cannot annihilate the Chinese nation with its small stack of atom bombs. Even if the U.S. atom bombs were so powerful that, when dropped on China, they would make a hole right through the earth, or even blow it up, that would hardly mean anything to the universe as a whole, though it might be a major event for the solar system.

What about a “Component-specific Challenge”?
