Some vessels had a combination of paddle wheel and other forms of propulsion, such as screws and sails.

Still a WIP, but here are some of the aircraft I plan on using. (Maybe some early carriers coming up)

Yeah, I was having a little trouble with that, will fix.

The CWF Bligzen, a 24-gun ironclad ketch of the original Cenet navy, which later became the Chancellor's yacht. (without armor and guns of course)

Also fixed the underwarter hull of the Effective.

The bow looks like its getting better. As for the ironclad, its great, but as a yacht? I'm not sure. The main problem with the story of the yacht is that it is without armor, which would have been riveted to the boat. It would be too labor-intensive to strip it of its armor instead of building a more spacious state yacht.

Please read up on how a sailing rig works, because right now you wouldn't even be able to hang a sail from it, let alone sail with it.
Look up two masted schooners and Ketches because there's no way to make a yawl out of it with your current hull.

On the other hand putting a sailing rig on a Virginia style ironclad is rather pointless since you won't have the deck-space to work it.

Yeah, she's actually a ketch, I always get yawls and ketches mixed up. As for rigging, I will work on that, it's my first attempt at a non-square sail main.

She's not entirely like the Virginia and other Confederate ironclads in that there is no 'roof' structure over the top. this is so that the sails and lines can be worked from behind the angled 'walls'.

Good point, maybe I'll keep the hull armor and remove the superstructure when I do the yacht.

If you need an Aircraft Carrier just ask as I have one in WIP.

Better rigging on the Bligzen, please correct as necessary as I couldn't find very good diagrams and my memory is a little fuzzy on how these things work.

Yacht version coming soon!
