Description
Designed in 1900 as the Last Pteroslavian Ironclad Vessel, before more modern designations coming about in 1900. Utilising an outdated design bu providing sufficient updates and upgrades to keep her afloat and effective. Rather slow and unwieldy, the PC-6 class wasn't suited to combat outside the protective bays and harbors of Pteroslavian controlled waters, and so was scrapped between the Romianian War for Independence in 1906 and the First World War.ΒPC-6 (PC-12 as listed) Was scrapped in 1913 to aid the growing Onmund line
PC-7 (PC-13 as listed) was converted into Pteroslavia's first Seaplane Tender
PC-8 (PC-14 as listed) was scrapped in 1914 for the same reasons as PC-6

You managed to combine most of the failed ideas of the late 19th century ship designers, especially the Russians and Italians, into one vessel. I love it! The best is the ram bow on a ship that is slower than its opponents - LOL.

It is actually an Austro-Hungarian hull, lol. I just took things I liked and worked them in. Again, all of this is kind of still in the light of a learning process. Maybe you could help me sometime with putting together the right parts?

There is nothing wrong with your fantasy navy making design mistakes - all the world's navies did. That's how ship design progressed. You are doing very well for a beginner - you just need to read some more books on naval architecture and naval history. The most important thing is that you have a good attitude.
I made a design for a ship when I was in college. I built a model and had an article on it published in the Alnavco Log, a hobby publication by Alnavco, a company that sells scale models. The fantasy was a "might have been" Japanese battleship/aircraft carrier (a "hermaphrodite") I called the Tosa. Much to my surprise, the design found its way into a serious publication: The Hybrid Warship - The Amalgamation of Big Guns and Aircraft, by R.D. Layman and Stephen McLaughlin. ISBN 1-55750-374-5 Β They got a few details wrong, mainly details about the flight deck - they missed that it was supported by the main battery turrets - and corrected some of my errors. They never contacted me, still, I was very pleased.

Wow, that's really cool. By supported by the main turrets, do yoou mean fittings akin to those on a SdKfz 232's bedframe radio?Β
I'l try to keep the good attitude about it up, and thank you. I've still got many concrete statistics for the shipyard capabilities and logistics to set down, as well as the design trends.Β
But again, thank you for the help/encouragement

Turrets are supported on a roller path/ring. A similar set of roller bearings and a ring with a roller path was to be inserted between the flight deck and the top of the turret.

Yep, I fell in love with it when I found it, lol. I'm working on the Seaplane Tender one now. and thanks!
