Hello all, I'm searching infos regarding real (albeit conceptual only) battleship projects distinguishing themselves for extraordinary caliber of main guns and/or number of main guns and displacement. I'm aware of the following, some yet briefly discussed in other topics:
-Tillman maximum...
Something different for today ... a collaborative project between Grumman and Shin Meiwa in Japan.
Note wing engines can tilt up a few degrees (it's described on another page). Also, there is heavy reliance on active boundary layer control via twin turbines behind the rear pressure bulkhead...
I recently happened on a photo of a U.S. Navy tow target which I hadn't previously seen.
Linked from the VC-2 squadron page of the A-4 Skyhawk Association website, it was accompanied by no explanatory text, only a short caption saying "1974: Ed Jennings tells us about the "FIGAT". As I was...
Of particular concern is information related to the Sea Dragon anti-ship missile program, a project of the Pentagon’s Strategic Capabilities Office that was being developed by submarine builder General Dynamics Electric Boat...

Navy Unveils 3D-Printed SEAL Sub
Jul 24, 2017
The U.S. Navy recently unveiled the military's first 3D-printed submarine hull. Printed on the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) machine at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL) Manufacturing...
Just finished is my Vought Naval Attack Proposal. Decided to do it in MARINE markings as I really didn't want a dark blue or silver. Sorry Jared, just couldn't resist. The upper and lower turrets retract and extend via a spring magnet. Carved of Jelutong with metal and resin fiddly bits, it has...

To counteract some bad/incomplete information on the F-15N "Sea Eagle" on the internet, here's a really good account from Dennis R. Jenkin's fine Aerofax on the F-15.
Found an obscure Youtube channel with a couple test launches of the Coyote. Unfortunately, no video of the missile under ramjet power at cruise speed. If there is an existing post dedicated to the Coyote please move this. I didn't find anything in the search.

The first commercial nuclear reactor in the United States, Shippingport, was derived from a reactor originally designed for a cancelled nuclear powered aircraft carrier. I haven't been able to find any information on this aircraft carrier, and I don't think the Shippingport reactor is related to...
I found both of these in the VAHF archives.
There are no markings on the photos, nor supporting documentation.
Any ideas on the who or what would be appreciated.
The Wikipedia article on Project Nobska claims that a nuclear powered 500 ton midget submarine and destroyer were proposed at the meeting, as well as a fuel cell powered submarine. Some Norman Friedman books are cited for this, so there might be something to these claims, but I haven't been able...
I was just curious as to what version of Polaris this is. Both articles featuring these pics say they're early Polaris tests. But I've never seen a Polaris like that before.

"Adm. Greenert has been in a cruiser tug-of-war with House Seapower chairman Randy Forbes for years. The Navy has 22 aging Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers, whose Aegis radar and targeting system is more powerful than the version on the newer but smaller Arleigh Burke destroyers."...
