    Images of a model from the US Navy concept formulation (CONFORM) submarine project from the late 1960s. CONFORM was a possible follow-on to the Permit (SSN 594) and Sturgeon (SSN 637) classes devised by Naval Sea Systems Command (NavSea) circa 1967-68. By November 1968, the initial CONFORM...

    CG(X) Air-Dominance Cruiser

    Does anyone have additional information or concept art for the Air-Dominance Cruiser, CG(X)? It sounds like it will be a replacement of the Ticonderoga-class (CG-47) and use technology developed from the Zumwalt-class project. http://peoships.crane.navy.mil/CGX/default.htm

    Russian and Soviet Aircraft Carriers

    The Soviets had a number of stilborn aircraft carrier projects from the 1930's all the way through to the 1990's. One of the most studied was Project-72 dating back to WW-II (1943) I think. Other projects include Project-69A, Project-85 and Project 1123 (Moskova concepts) before getting to the...
