"Ship silhouttes for Fred Jane Naval Wargame " Topic

Having produced a book on the Fred Jane Naval Wargame, I am looking for ship silhouttes for the game (which consists of hitting these paper targets with a striker).

I have a few silhouttes, but I was wondering if anyone else has done some already?

John,
You might want to check out the "Junior General" page, I believe it is juniorgeneral.org. It features paper images of just about every hand or sea combatant from ancient through Sci Fi, you should beable to find what you are looking for there.

Here is a public domain site for ship drawings

lcoat.tripod.com/shipdraw.htm

Here are more

It would be easy to convert to silhouttes with a Photoshop program.

These are WWII as you posted here under the WWII naval message board

Lots of WWI line drawings here

sms-navy.com

Russian ships

There are also line drawings here.

Try wunderwaffe.narod.ru

The site is in Russian so you'll need to run it through Babelfish, then click on "Reference Books" at the top and on the photo of the ship on the page that comes up. Each book has a listing for "Drawings"; there are several hundred line drawings in these books, from the Russo-Japanese War to WWII.

ONI drawings here

not all drawings shown to the same scale but you can photoshop them accordingly

I'm not quite sure I understand your problem. The cards are from old issues of Fighting Ships. If they're not available at your local library, there are reprints of a number of years and a general collection published as Warships of World War I, or some such which will include most of what you want.

Thank you for all your input.

I am in the process of updating my resources page for the my Fred Jane Naval Wargame page.
