[2374 × 1570] USS Texas as a museum ship facing the sunrise in the fog, 2007. In my opinion, one of the best photos of a dreadnought ever taken.2yr ⋅ joeisnotasquirrel ⋅ r/WarshipPorn
[773 × 499] A colorized image of the IJN's aircraft carrier Shinano, undergoing sea trials in Tokyo Bay, with a famously short life. It was the largest carrier ever built until the Forrestal-class supercarriers by the USN. Sadly, only two known pictures of the carrier were taken.4yr ⋅ joeisnotasquirrel ⋅ r/WarshipPorn

[960 × 749] A variant of the Soviet Pr. 1058 battleship-carrier hybrid designed by Gibbs and Cox in the late 1930s. This variant would have a 34(!) knot top speed and be reasonably well armored as well, and would also have a main battery of 12 406mm and the capability to carry 36 planes.3yr ⋅ joeisnotasquirrel ⋅ r/WarshipPorn
[968 × 473] One of the Spanish Espana-class battleships, Spain's only dreadnoughts and the smallest true battleship built by any nation. Armed with 8 12 guns but weighing a mere 15,700 tons, the Espanas could truly be called 'pocket battleships' if there ever were any.4yr ⋅ joeisnotasquirrel ⋅ r/WarshipPorn
[325 × 265] The other, lesser-known picture of the two known ones of the Shinano. This image was taken from a recon B-29 from an altitude of 9,800 meters.4yr ⋅ joeisnotasquirrel ⋅ r/WarshipPorn

[1019 × 693] An interesting proposal for a South American battleship(a preliminary design of the Riachuelo) armed with 8x16 guns, a secondary battery of 6x9.2 guns in twin turrets, and 14x6 guns.3yr ⋅ joeisnotasquirrel ⋅ r/WarshipPorn
[1440 × 633] The design plan for the apex of the USN's maximum battleships(whose only design constraint was to fit through the Panama Canal), the Tillman IV-2. It would've displaced 80,000 short tons, been armed with 15(!) 18 guns, and traveled at 25 knots. Amazingly, this was a WWI-era design.4yr ⋅ joeisnotasquirrel ⋅ r/WarshipPorn
