Hello,
I'm looking for warships designed by Nevesbu (B.V. Nederlandse Verenigde Scheepsbouw Bureaus). Specifically for surface vessels, though I don't want to discourage discussion around their submersibles.
So far I'm aware of a couple of designs:

In the very first years of aircraft carriers development both English and Japanese envisioned launch of their aircrafts directly from the hangar. This result was usually achieved through an opening in the bow, at the hangar level, and a catapult that launched aircraft in the ship's direction...

Anyone solve the mystery?? Why, oh why did the JUNKERS G.38 4-engined prototype test-fly with a four-bladed propeller, inboard and a two-bladed propeller, outboard on each wing? All four driving engines were identical. Might this have caused any power imbalance/handling or thrust deficit issues...

I believe this drawing is from one of HT Lenton's books on US Destroyers published in the early 1970's. I made a 1/1200 model of this but heve never been able to find any corroborating data on the proposed design. Can anyone shed any light on this one?

I want to focus on the land forces. Britain and France in 1940 had some tanks (Somua and Matilda 2) which could match the Germans. If the French and British General Staffs had understood the importance of armoured units in a...
