    PT-347 - The WW2 disaster you’ve probably never heard of

    I’d never heard of this before, but it’s one of the worst friendly fire incidents I’ve heard of from WW2, made worse that no action was taken against the person who seemingly was most responsible for it.

    Names of ships on Yankee, Dixie and Gonzo stations?

    One of my hobbies is collecting waterline ship models in 1/1250 or 1/1200 scales covering the Cold War era. I have been trying to find the composition of USN units on the Yankee and Dixie Stations off Vietnam and Gonzo station in the Arabian Sea. Does anyone know a source?

    Albany-class Aegis refit

    Yes, yes, I fully understood that it's impractical and unrealistic, but I just like "Albany"-class cruisers, and just before New Year I hit the idea "what if Albany-class cruiser would be refitted in 80s to carry Aegis?" Oh, and a Happy New Year) So yes, it's CG-18 "Fall River" missile...

    United States Navy - CVX (1940)

    A year before Pearl Harbour the USN commissioned a study into a 'tweaked' version of USS Wasp (CV-7) under the designation CVX, the principle changes were using only two aircraft elevators and the fitting of more powerful engines to give 32knots planned speed. Given what happened to USS Wasp the...

    Alt 60s US Navy

    The Royal Navy in the 1960s has been the place for many alternative history threads helped by the excellent books on the subject and the enthusiasm of Brits like me for CVA01 and co. The US Navy offers even more scope for programmes that could have been. Some thoughts to kick things off...

    Modernization of US Flush Deck destroyers

    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? Dave G The PT Dockyard

    McDonnell Mach 6 Carrier Plane?

    On pg. 86 of Pentagon Paradox there is a quote," 1983 IOC fighter that would fly Mach 4.5 with a dash speed of Mach 6." If the Reformers hate it, I like it. Anyone know more about this?

    Talos, the SPG-56 and the SPG-61

    Over the course of the life of the Talos system in the USN, the SPG-56 and SPG-61 Missile Fire Control radars were developed to replace the SPG-49 used to guide the Talos missile. Prototypes of each were built but these radars were never introduced into service. Either one would have, no doubt...

    There is a reference in Norman Friedman's "U.S. Amphibious Ships" to a canceled 225 ft. ocean minesweeper that was related to the singleton unit USS Carronade in terms of hull form. Aluminum hull construction would have made a great deal of sense as it was very obviously amagnetic and less...
