It looks like the American USS Deleware class.

We are trying to save HMVS Cerberus 1868. Cerberus was the first British warship powered purely by steam. She was the the first British Monitor & being a Breastwork Monitor was the first warship with a central superstructure. She has both of her turrets and 4 x 10" rifled muzzle loading guns.

"She was the prototype of all modern battleships" --J. R. Hill - Oxford Illustrated History of the Royal Navy.

The genesis of all battleship design in the period to 1905 -- Spencer C Tucker, The Handbook of 19th Century Naval Warfare, Sutton, 2000

If someone is looking for a modeling project we would love to add a simulation of Cerberus to our http://www.cerberus.com.au/videos/callvideo.html videos webpage.

Now THIS is a model I would love to see Agincourt duelling with!

Viribus Unitis in glorious 3D!

What a shame the workmanship in this class was, shall we say, substandard. I wonder what the polycount on this swine is...

Naumov -- EXCELLENT work!

If you have some more renders, and can mail them to me, I'd love putting them on their own page.

Wow, those drawings are brilliant, Naumov. It'll be a pleasure to see your model of the hull.

On the ships it is a lot of information, if to whom it is interesting, speak, I shall share. Hull KEVII in what format to send?

That wunderwaffe website is amazing - but the Russian internet service must be atrocious, as every time I try to load an image it tends to stop half-way through!! I've spent the last hour trying to load drawings of HMS Dreadnought's second armament!!

Have you a picture of the hull as you're working on it? If not, I do have 3Ds Max.

I advise to come on Wunderwaffe at night, Moscow time. If something is necessary, write, download and I shall send mail! Specify your electronic address, I shall send Hull of KEVII
