That's a very good idea!
If You like, You could use my destroyer sketches ("generic late 1950s" and "generic early 2000s") from DD Krakatau thread - either simply in their recent form, or with any suitable modifications You want. I could also try to help with making more of such "generics" (but You would have to tell me what do You exactly want about them) and perhaps with translation of this guide into polish language (though considering the number of active polish members that's probably not the most urgent need ).

I agree, this is quite good. If you need some generics, I can help on that for older (1910&back) types.

Since my major is English, actually, I'd be happy to help out with the grammar.

As promised, here are some things that I've been working on too regarding helpful guides for Shipbucket, which I'm going to do as addendum to what acelancelot wrote (the numbers refer back to ace's points):

1. I'm going to add that it might be good to sketch out a real warship beforehand too. Yes, by hand. It doesn't have to be pretty, the idea is to force you to become aware of the systems present. This is purely optional and really experimental at this time.

4. A part of realism is populating your ship with realistic parts to keep it from looking barren. I've labelled all the parts that I can in the drawing below, using one of my own ship designs for now (yes, I totally drew this myself) and photobucket because I'm lazy:



5/6 This is a basic illustration to what acelancelot means:



7. The size of your powerplant will show up as the size of your funnels. Big engines = big funnels. This remains true whether you have steam or gas turbines; diesels on warships seem to be the one exception but I've seen plenty of big funnels on diesel ships as well (typical freighters and tankers, for example).

Good Job klagldsf... That will explains alot to the new people...

Only correction I have to that drawing as the circled item 'keel' should be called the 'bilge keel' as that is not the keel of the hull itself. Propeller staff should read propeller shaft too I'm guessing.

That is exactly what I have been looking for ever since I joined this forum 2 years ago . Great idea for one, and klagldsf that basically clears a lot of things up for me.
Thanks,

I could do the Dutch translation right now if that's okay with Ace...

no need to do that (at least for now) as first , this thing should be completed (long time pending) and spelling an error checked.
