nice work

rudder and plane in the rear do look similar to Crazyhorse version of Nautilus, I noticed, it so little that is doesn't bother me

Is it strange that I am a bit worried by a real world submarine drawing that borrows so much from my drawing of an submarine of a different nation with a different propulsion system that I get credited for it?

It doesn't seem that likely that this would share so many systems that this makes sense? Hell, the openings in the hull, part of the shading and the plating lines on this drawing even follow the hull shape of my AU Nuclear Tonijn drawing http://shipbucket.com/wiki/index.php/Fi ... Tonijn.png

I mean, the crediting is proper, but does this belong in the real design section like this?

Nice addition!

The Skipjack class SSN's;

USS Skipjack SSN-585 (As depicted in 1981, the 4xl sheet was chosen for the template because I will be drawing the bow and stern view at some time in the future.)


USS Scamp SSN-588 (1961) As depicted between the time of her being launched and sea trials.


USS Scorpion SSN-589 (1968) There are claims that USS Scorpion was carrying two Mk 45 ASTOR Nuclear wire guided torpedoes at the time of her sinking. Forever on Patrol.

Very good drawings. Would love to see the Ohio class SSGN. I can't draw so that's why I can't do it.

if you check the archive, you find many drawings, for example like:
