Hi any one know of a good site for plans of the Royal Navy ships of WWI, I found a good site for the German navy but am still looking for the Royal Navy. Am making new cards for Fleet Action Imminent, like the idea of an illustration of the ship on the card rather than the abstract info on the cards provided.

Try wunderwaffe.narod.ru (you'll probably want to Babelfish it unless you read Russian), look under 'reference books' and click on the picture of the ship. This will take you to their fleet books for RJW, WWI, and WWII. Each book includes a collection of line drawings, including plan views of most of the major combatants. The downside is that the ship names are in Russian even if you use Babelfish but I found them fairly easy to translate with my trusty Cyrillic alphabet chart. the-blueprints.com has a pretty good collection as well and you can search by ship name. Hope this helps. LT |

As per 79thPA, you can pick up the WW1 edition of Janes Fighting Ships really cheap. I think mine cost a tenner in a remainder shop. |
