Nevesbu's projects

[Sanglune]

Hello,

I'm looking for warships designed by Nevesbu (B.V. Nederlandse Verenigde Scheepsbouw Bureaus). Specifically for surface vessels, though I don't want to discourage discussion around their submersibles.

So far I'm aware of a couple of designs:

Project 1047 (files attached, source: Klaas Meijer's Twitter)
1865 ton frigate (Jane's 1961 and 1962) (files attached)
1420 ton frigate (Jane's 1968) (files attached)
Possible carrier for venezuela? (according to Warshipsresearch )
Submarine chasers for cuba? (according to Warshipsresearch )
Possible cruisers for venezuela? (according to Warshipsresearch )

Also references to a Dutch 8" cruiser for Chile, as well as 6" 8000 ton 32 kt cruiser (British Cruisers Two World Wars and After, N. Friedman, pg. 226-228)

Does anyone have any more info and potentially drawings?

Вступление Англии, во многом против воли и в довольно-таки неподготовленном состоянии, в войну с Германией ставило под сомнение большинство перспективных проектов в области кораблестроения, связанных с большими артиллерийскими кораблями. Главной жертвой, конечно же, стали линкоры, но досталось и...

there are another cruisers for venezuela by Netherlands？ I'm curious·······

Both drawings are identical, aren't they? Is it correct?

Furthermore, I created a manuscript containing most the information I found on Dutch ships, which I've attatched. Although not exactly related to Nevesbu, I found it a bit awkward to create a separate thread for it.

Do you have any further info (dimensions, armament, blueprints etc.) on Projects:

Unfortunately, I have no info on the physical parameters of the projected ships. I do have some more meta info from the sources.

Project 2083 comes from a design that was first offered between 12 to 30 june 1952, when Wotljer and Gunnig from NVSB and Salm from Signaal visited Janér as well as visit the minister of the navy. A quick redesign of a 2630t destroyer was offered. In August the project was further developed and information sent, along with an aquarel.

Project 2089 seems to have been short lived, being a request originally for the Trubine and Boiler Company (TKT) in Amsterdam.

Project 2091 comes from a request by Capt. Kenan, Assistant Naval Attaché for an escort vessel. On the 4th of Jan. 1954 the design was sent and Kenan replied in February that soon a reply to the offer would be sent.

I remember reading in 2017 about a possible preliminary to the 1047 battlecruisers that was smaller with 9-240mm guns but with a top speed of only 29-30kts. I was not proceeded with due to the speed. The WOWs gang looks like they took a shot at this in one of their ships but my reading was long before that and it was a real design study. Does anyone have anything further?

Battlecruiser: Design studies for the Royal Netherlands Navy 1939-40 (Warship International No. 4 - 1980)

Design Work of the Royal Netherlands Navy
Although in autumn 1939 design work was well underway, and cooperation with Germany seemed reasonably assured, some reluctance on their part was still in evidence. Accordingly, Admiral Vos (Chief of the Materiel Department of the Navy) recommended strongly in a letter on 6 December 1939 to the new Navy Minister that the plans for the construction of the battlecruisers be brought before Parliament before Christmas 1939. However, the Navy Minister had not yet made up his mind as to exactly what type of vessel needed to be constructed. He apparently favored a 16.000 ton ship of the armored cruiser type. During December 1939, the Naval Construction Department considered the possibilities of such a ship and came to the comparison presented in Table 5.

Table 5 - 16,000 Ton Project Armament & Protection Comparison
Displacement	16.000 tons Washington
Speed:	33 kts. in tropical waters.
Armament	Protection
Belt	Deck	Turret	Torpedo bulkhead
Three triple 28cm	100 mm	40 and 50	100	25
Three twin 28cm	120	50 and 60	120	30
Three triple 24cm	120	60	120	30
Three twin 24cm	140	65	150	30

It was noted that if the armor protection proposed for the 27.000 ton project were to be worked into a 16.000 design, no armament could be fitted. Also, it was considered that the plans for the former could be completed in 5 to 5,5 months, while if the Navy had to revert to a 16.000 ton design, a delay of 6 months was expected. A memorandum was drawn up on 11 December 1939 in which it was stated that on a 16.000 ton displacement, a design could be prepared with characteristics shown in Table 6.

Table 6 - 16.000 Ton Armored Cruiser
Displacement	16,000 tons Washington
Dimensions	ca. 200 x 25 x 12 x 6,75 meters.
Armament	3 triple 24cm 4 twin 12cm 8 twin 40mm several smaller guns
Protection
Belt	175mm
Deck	75mm
Turrets	200mm (24cm) and 60mm (12cm)
Torpedo bulkheads	30mm
Propulsion
SHP	90.000
Speed	29 kts. (28 kts. in tropical waters)
Weight	1750 tons
Note: Unfortunately, no sketch drawing (or any reference thereto) has been found.

It was appreciated that this vessel would be superior to a 20cm 10.000 ton cruiser, but had the important weakness that it could not avoid action with stronger opponents due to inferior speed. The protection also was felt to be insufficient. Consequently, the Navy strongly recommended against the construction of such a ship and nothing more was heard about the project.

That's a... Fascinating lower bow shape. I can only imagine that if this had gone to production that it would have been amended to a more traditional shape.

The WOWs gang looks like they took a shot at this in one of their ships but my reading was long before that and it was a real design study. Does anyone have anything further?

The 16.000 ton cruisers were not a preliminary per se, but more of an alternative offered from Batavia (mostly Ferwerda). Indonesia still desired an expansion of destroyers and submarines. And wondered if the 28.000t battlecruisers would impact this. Thus offered the 16.000ters as alternative which would be much cheaper, possibly faster to build, made a transition to larger ships easier and wouldn't necessitate a large shift in base infrastructure. Whilst still being functionally similar in role and function.

Ferwerda didn't seem to be entirely against the battlecruisers, but prefered a much more gradual approach and to expand the 'surroundings' (not sure how to translate "omlijsting").

Ultimately, The Haguish group was too far with the 28.000t and Ferwerda's own health was failing so the battlecruisers were pushed forward. Only the basic computations from the Warship article (see the comment between us) were found.

As for World of Warships, It is possible that Wargaming took some inspiration from those when they made up their supercruisers, but they insisted they were based on the larger project 1047 instead so that can't be too right. Regardless, don't trust Wargaming with their made up ships. There's just too much wrong with those.

Presumably it was an attempt to reduce interference with the sonar during torpedo firing and guidance cables rubbing over the sonar dome. Can see the logic but its hardly an elegant looking solution.

I pressume it's from Jane's Fighting Ships 1969-70, or at least it's the same ad as the one presented there. The small black triangle clues in towards the other page of the ad in which the company info and some existing work is presented.

Yes it is from that advert.

That is an awfully small displacement for that size, armament and sensor fit!

The Pietro di Cristofaro-class corvettes carried two such 76mm guns plus one anti-submarine mortar. They were slightly bigger than this project: 80m LOA vs 67m.
Probably the Nevesbu 'compact frigate' was to compete against Vickers export corvettes (sold to Ghana, Libya and Nigeria). Its machinery must have had not very much power as the ship was rather slow (25 kn). So it might have lightened its hull.

I will have a 1/1200 model to show in a week or so based on of the 1935 8" CA from the wonderful .PDF here. She has a bridge somewhat based on the Dutch sloop Van Kingsbergen.

Incidentally, NVSB also played a lead role in the design of the Polish Navy's Orzel-class submarines, as mentioned here.

Is there any blueprint documentation on the 16,000 Ton Cruiser or is it only the data that exists.

 

[Petrus]

A 675-ton design from circa 1969.

What is the source of this small Nevesbu-design?

Indeed the picture comes from the Jane's Fighting Ship 1969-70.
Here you have a scan of two facing pages that contain a Nevesbu's advertisement plus the picture of the 'compact frigate' in high resolution.

Here is a drawing I found years ago for a proposed anti-submarine ship for the RNN. All I recall was it had 4-40mm in two twin mounts. Does anyone have the background on this little ship?

I went and checked some parliamentary reports and 6 of these were ordered for the defence of the Netherlands in budget year 1938. With proposals for another 6 for Soerabaja in addition to the battlecruiser plan.
For those in the Netherlands, according to NIMH 092 Marinemonografie 1.2 pg. 278 no contract was signed for these ships though 3 were assigned to NDM, Amsterdam and 3 to J & K Smit, Kinderdijk . They had a displacement of 390 tons standard, dimensions of 64,95 m oa / 6,7 m b / 2,2 m d. Propulsion was a turbine for 6000 shp on a single screw for 24 knots. Armaments were 2 - twin 40 mm machine guns, 4 depth charge throwers, 2 chutes and 60 depth charges.
For more detailed information I managed to find the shipbuilding manual in the archives of NDM. No blueprints are associated with them but we can find some slightly different parameters, namely only 5500 shp. It is further detailed that the ships were 452,511 ton fully loaded and had a range of 720 nm at 20 kts when loaded at 420 tons normal displacement.

Netherlandsnavy also has an article on these boats with the image you posted. It states that 4 of the NEI ones were to be built by Soerabaja Drydock Company. However, reading Ph.M. Bosscher "De Koninklijke Marine in de Tweede Wereldoorlog", volume 2 (1986), there is an appendix with construction during the war. It is mostly taken from L.L. von Munching "Schepen van de Kon. Marine in de 2e Wereldoorlog" (1978). In it there is no mention of these ships by Soerabja Drydock Company. It may be possible Netherlandsnavy confused them with the 4 bewakingsvaartuigen (of which they also have an article). However, under Drydock Company Tandjong Priok there are 3 the minesweeper-submarinechaser chasers listed of 310 ton, with a note on that Bosscher is not clear on what these were and suspects them to be identical to the B-cruiser. Myself I have no clue what they mean with this.

 

[ptdockyard]

Excellent! Thank you!

 

[ptdockyard]

So if I may, I have one more I thought of.

I have been looking for any image showing the Dutch B class sub hunters as designed for Dutch service. All the images show them as finished by the Japanese. Is there a drawing or anything available on the original design?

A bit different shaped drawing of the Sub-chaser appears in H.T Lentons "Royal Netherlands Navy" book, and also a bit better cropped color reproduction ín H.v Willigenburgs "Dutch Warships of World War II"
