Weibo will automatically watermark the uploaded imagesI "love" how random people "stealing" online documents and "copyrighting" them by putting their online name on the image...
Never the less nice finds. The superstructure elements look British so I presume Vickers were the designer.
Well,In China, This watermark is usually provided by the platform ,not the userI meant this @scharnhorstzly fellow.
Do we know the origin of the weapons of Yat Sen? Was it Japanese or British? Both had 6", 5,5", 4,7", 4" and 3" guns. Though that 4" gun designation seems British. IJN only used two 10cm guns the Submarine equipped 10cm/50 Type 88 and the excellent AA gun the 10cm/65 Type 98
Well, I found it (to be exact, I asked scharnhorstzly for the keyword)
Interesting, the ship with three 140 guns is called new Yat Sen

a crazy fantasy plan,Post-war plan to build a large fleet in ten years(More likely to extort budget)

Seven 30,000-ton battleships, eight 12-inch guns(Red word changed to 14 inches), speed28 knots(Red word changed to 30 knots)
Twelve 24,000-ton aircraft carriers,carry 30 aircraft (Red word changed to 50),speed 0 knots
Twelve 10,000-ton cruisers,Nine 8-inch guns,speed33knots
Thirty-six 1,500-ton destroyers,33knots(40knots) ten 21-inch torpedoes
Eighteen 1,000-ton submarines,12knots,six 21-inch torpedoes
Sixty 40-ton PT boats,60knots(changed to 50)two 21-inch torpedoes
The picture says this is a vessel for "Zollüberwachung", which is likely to be a patrol vessel for the Chinese CustomsVery limited superstructure elements, Very small armament of 3 guns around 3-4" calibre one torpedo launcher twin or triple no visible AA armament, Curved boiler air intakes instead of ventilator shafts, I would say 1910's.
Edit: There is a stamp on the right side which states copyright law 1901.06.19 - 1910.05.22 so I presume between that timeframe.
No, the KuK flag has the Austrian colours and the Austrian coat of arms inside it with a crown:34 kt custom ship with torpedoes... But yes there are curious details here, such as only one TT aparatus (twin or single?) and no nothing on the position behind the mainmast and what appears to be an Austrian flag?
And as you said it raises more questions because Yugoslavia did not exist until post WW1 specifically it came to being in 1918!
There's no claim of copyrighting . It's more like a library stamp inside a book.I "love" how random people "stealing" online documents and "copyrighting" them by putting their online name on the image...

Any information as to their names after completion?Bought this magazine
some of the mine torpedo school's pre-war ship plans, mostly torpedo boats like CMB and MAS, only a few larger support ships and China never got them
A German-built support ship was taken over by the German Navy and taken over by Denmark after World War II
Named Qi Jiguang(an ancient general famous for defeating Japanese pirates)
length 96.2 meters,full load displacement 2620 tons
Two 88mm main guns,Two twin 37mm guns and Four 20mm guns
Another one, built in Hong Kong, was captured by the Japanese and taken by the Dutch after the war
Named Tan Lun(also an ancient general)
length 223 feet Displacement 750 tons

Backstory attached.Don't think this one has been posted yet, a Coastal Defence Ship design from 1916:

Don't have much backstory or design history to this one, only raw data and that it was made by Armstrong. It's a large and slow CDS for China, armed with 4x15" guns, 8x4,7" guns.
Ah, the famous Edmund Backhouse's "mini-superdreadnought") An inhteresting attempt to revive the coastal defense ship class in new era)Don't think this one has been posted yet, a Coastal Defence Ship design from 1916:
Are any of the plans and ships shown the Tan Lun? Sorry I can't read ChineseNamed Tan Lun

Could someone point me to which document the information for that 6,000 ton Cruiser by Netherlands/Germany is. I have been struggling locating it.Here are the original files on the Taiwanese archive found by a Japanese friend of mine, to save you have to right click and wait a few seconds to start (their servers ain't fast) or left click to view:
But I've uploaded them on my google drive account for easier download:

Huh? Pretty sure a ship designed in 1914 pre-dates the formation of the People's Liberation Army Navy by about 30 years...Not pre-PLAN, belongs in another thread.
