You keep producing the goods GD, the 1898 drawing is especially fine with all that netting shown.
One query though, was the propeller shaft really that thick? Seems quite big but I guess with metalworking technology then it may well have been quite chunky. Just seems to attract the eye as being chunky.

Can't wait to see the Infamous Potemkin.

Bit of a problem here. But I do love your drawings!

Hello everyone!

@Hood: I really can't say exactly, because I found no underwater photographs. Let's just hope the linedrawing I used, whose underwater features were much less refined than the above water part, was halfway exact.

@eltf177: zero shells ammunition supply does not sound right either. Some real ships just don't work on Springsharp.

But now to something entirely different:

Russian battleship Knyaz Potyomkin-Tavrisheskiy

The first 'real' pre-dreadnought of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was a very compact 12.500-tonner armed to the teeth with 4 305mm and 16 152mm guns; belt armour was 229mm KC, as on contemporary RN battleships. Like all pre-dreadnoughts of the Black Sea Fleet, she was slow and could only make 16 knots. As completed, she carried two small torpedo launches. At the time of the famous mutiny, she looked like this:

After the mutiny, she was renamed Panteleimon (after an orthodox saint) and modestly modernized. Her bridge structure was cut down, the fighting tops and two of the four cranes were removed, the searchlights relocated, and rangefinders and two 57mm or 63mm (sources differ) AA guns were installed. She was quite active in the first three years of the First World War in the Black Sea and had several run-ins with the Ottoman fleet.

After the revolution, she was again renamed Potyomkin Tavrisheskiy, then one month later Borets za Svobodu. She was laid up in 1918 and changed owners four times in two years; none of them properly maintained her, and she was scrapped in 1923. When Eisenstein made his movie about the mutiny, she no longer existed; onboard scenes were shot on the hulk Dvenadsat Apostolov.

Greetings
GD

You always do the very best from whatever sources you have.
The 'Potemkin' is no exception, very nice work indeed.
