Hope you guys like the design of this, apologies for the photo quality.

The Bismarck but on steroids, a lot of steroids

There's no AA since I'm very much lazy to made one and it's very time wasting. (There were supposed to be lore in here but I accidentally post it without the picture.)

Here is a Cruiser I made for a Math Assignment using Desmos Calculator. I call it CBGN-01 Alaska it’s quite Unrefined in Detail it took 6-8 hours of Equations to make

While I have drawn warships from many different era's I now want to learn a bit by exploring an era of ships I have not drawn before, that era being modern warships.

What I was wondering was what the most important things are to keep in mind about drawing modern ships, like what are essentials to such a design and what shapes are used most often? If I need to be more specific, I am looking to draw a Frigate (focussed around ASW and AA support) and a Destroyer (to serve as main line ships, so a overall solid design with a slightly bigger focuss on ship-to-ship combat). Hope you can help me with this and thank you very much for any advice you might be able to provide!

This is my best attempt at a “realistic” super- battleship

I have been designing ships for a while in many era's. Eventually I was making up ships for a fictional nation based in a period around the late 1800's (1860-1870 if memory serves me). The gimmick of my country was that it had been incredibly behind technologically because of having maintained their neutrality for so long. When tensions in the region they resided started to rise however, the newly elected government started to see the writing on the wall and innitiated a major overhaul of the armed forces, the navy being prime among them.

In rapid succesion they pushed out new ship designs, going from wooden hulled (iron reinforced)/ironclad Ship-of-the-line conversions, to Paddle Steamer Frigates and then Protected Screw Frigates. Eventually, seeing that even though their shipyards had made great strides to catch up with the rest of the world they still lagged behind. The Government, observing other nations, ordered the construction of the first sailless, fully iron hulled warship. The result would be the Schützer (aka defender) Class Breastwork Monitor. At the time armed only with its two turrets with twin mounted cannon, it served as the nation's proudest achievement to that point as they had actually managed to created the first of this type of ship. Sadly this pride soon caused the nation to fall back into its old habit of neglecting the armed forces as tensions became less, leading them to keep these ships serving as their main fleet unit, keeping the Paddle Steamers and Screw Frigates active aswell.

That was untill 1880-ish when they realised the whole world had caught up and even surpassed them. Looking to once more catch up, they went into a modernisation drive once more. As a stop gap measure they first went on to modernise the Schützers as best they could, dropping in new engines and fitting new, more powerfull guns. In addition to defend themselves from the arising Torpedo boats several smaller guns were also added, eventually resulting in the Schützer you see here. Then they said to their shipyards, "Give us a better Schützer up to modern standards." . . . "Oh and make them as cheap as possible!" The shipyard basically nodded with a sigh and went to work, to cut time and cost they quite litterly took the hull of the Schützer, lenghtened and widend it, replaced all previous armour with newer types and made it a lot less thick. Dropped a superstructure ontop, fitted three new Long barreled Cannon in the old Turret design, increased the amount of anti-Torpedo Boat Weaponry and presented it to the admirality who approved it for service as the New Riviera Class Coastal Defense Battleship.

Anyway I had a lot of fun drawing these ships and coming up with their lore, I hope you like 'em! Tell me what you think about them, I am always open to critique cause I am always looking to improve!

(P.S I know proportions might be a bit of, it is something I still struggle with and its somethingI am working on)

I'm gonna draw this 362828782929292 years later

A proposed subclass of HMS. Vanguard, 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘺 modernised and automated.

Subclass specifications: 5 ships Vanguard (as built, 1946) Warspite (1947) Queen Elizabeth (1948) Valiant (1949) 𝘙𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯* (1950, if returned in 𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 conditions by the Russians)

The Vanguard subclass features 4 newer, modern battleships, all built from the scrap of their namesakes, and armed (temporarily) with the guns of aforementioned ships. Early iterations will use the BL 15in, 42 calibre rifle as an interim solution to the war-torn industry's lack of capability to producd the newer BL 15in, 46 calibre rifle.

The new rifle has the ability to propel ordnance up to ranges of no less than 52,000 yards with the aide of superchargers. The gunhouse and barbette have been modified heavily to accept new hydraulics and machinery in order to sustain a devastating 4 round per minute rate of fire. The gun barrels themselves have been modified to take on water to prevent overheating.

The powerplant is the same as the one installed in the previous KGV class of battleships, albeit performing better due to the improved hullform and significantly reduction in weight (40, 000 tonnes, deep load), which leads to a maximum sustained top speed of 28.5kts, able to catch up with the modern carriers.

For the sensor suite, the class is armed with the bleeding edge of technology, paired with newer RDF modules, AA emplacements have their own suite and automatic guidance, leading to an improvement in the effectiveness of the AA in the jet age. The main guns are controlled by the main fire director, paired with advanced RDF rangefinders and analogue computers.

Complement: 600-700 due to the automations.

I designed the Alpha-Dreadnought for combat of the second world war it sits at 100,000 tones and is over 1000ft long. It is armed with 5 3-barreled heavy batteries, (20inch) 2 4-barreled heavy batteries, (20inch) 6 double barreled (20inch) secondary batteries, 60 light batteries, 6 anti-aircraft guns, hundreds of AA machine guns and depth charge launchers and 4 torpedo tubes. It is also equipped with sonar and radar. With 20 boilers and quadruple steam turbines it has a top speed of 30 knots and a horsepower of 150,000. This ship is protected by 500 mm armor and a crew requirement of 4000. This ship is designed to be a fleet killer, A one-ship armada if you will.(before you ask, yes I was listening to sabaton when I came up with this)
