Well as you all know, I drew up some Airships a year or so ago, here is the new and improved variants:

The UAeS Port Gamble:

And its later incarnation as the Pyrate Kestrel's Fury:

As always critiques welcome... Just remind me to duck if anyone throws any rotten tomatoes, :P!

Ah, Steampunk :D Apart from the unfortunate fact that they wouldn't ever fly, they look fantastic :)

Why do they need "water" propellers along with "air" ones?

They are not water, rather main engines to propel the ship, the smaller engines are more for maneuvering.

Anti fouling paint does seem kinda redundant, unless they're designed to land on water.

True.
Btw, the existence of dorsal turrets indicates a certain degree of three dimensional thinking, so why no belly turrets?
And you're going to need some seriously good directors unless you're shooting carcas style shells.

Dude, its fiction, stop overthinking it lol. Also remember Victorian Steampunk, pre-dreadnought era lol, point and shoot as well as broadsides. Show me a pre-dreadnought fire directors, and I'll use them. :P

True, but I can't help myself.
I always try to improve designs within the given framework of the book/movie etc.
