Looks great with underwater hull.

Shame that one was never built, beautiful looking ship and a very fine drawing.

The unbuilt Project 9 training ship Wal (Whale). Developed between 1951 and 1954 its requirement was later merged with the, also unbuilt, Project 6 tender Drache.
Specifications are on the Pr.9 are scarce, the crew would have numbered 150, displacement was 2,500 tons and the twin steam turbines were rated at 14,000shp. Armament is four single 37mm and four single 20mm cannon. Again, I make no 100% accuracy claim to the length which here is 95m which scaled very nicely from the plan.

Very interesting! Keep it up!

No problem eswube! I've managed this during the afternoon despite the 30 degree heat here.


The Project 16 Lachs (Salmon) designed between 1952 and 1957 at the Wolgast Institute of Shipbuilding Technology. It was to be powered by four gas turbines, displacement 150 tons, four 533mm torpedo tubes and two twin 25mm cannon.

sweet stuff

Hood! I feel spoiled by You!

My finale for this thread. This is in FD scale because a 14m vessel in SB would be too bland and undetailed.



The Project 1355 Luftkissenfahrzeug (air cushion vehicle). This was designed and built at Schiffswerft Rechlin and tested between August 1962 to October 1963 so isn't strictly speaking an unbuilt type but was a research vehicle that went no further. How the nose fan was powered is not clear, I doubt the single radial had enough power to drive both the propeller and the fan so there might have been another engine in the nose.
Specifications; displacement 10 tons, 14 m x 3.7 m, powered by one M-11 5-cyl radial engine, 21 knots, 2 crew.
