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...

11:20 is the best shot of Polaris from Observation Island I've ever seen.

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. View...

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.

From "Esquire magazine" March 1945,pag 91.

This thread is effectively a relaunch of the "Fictional Never-Were" thread from Warship Projects 3.0. It covers fictional warships in novels such as: USS John F Kennedy (BCGN-???) (Joe Poyer: North Cape, 1969) First up... John Watson: The Final Act, 2000 Germany Hindenburg Bismark Class...

If anyone can help me find out more information on this, I would be greatly appreciative. Around 1948, the United States Navy signed contracts for the development of three prospective naval propulsion reactors. The first two are most well known, being the Westinghouse pressurized light water...

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. http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/nukevault/ebb275/ http://lewis.armscontrolwonk.com/archive/7631/dprk-slbm-test

"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."...

Thinking that we need a thread for all old (pre-1880s?) projects. Came across HMS Duke of Kent design for a four-deck ship of the line on Reddit. c1809. Never built. Original source http://collections.rmg.co.uk/
