SF/WO* Add-On Ships

The RN light carrier HMS Invincible. As she was in the early '80's.

C551 Giuseppe Garibaldi
 
Giuseppe Garibaldi C551 is the current flagship of the Marina Militare Italiana, the Italian Navy.
Built by Fincantieri at the Monfalcone shipyards near Gorizia, laid down in March 1981, launched in 1983 and commissioned on September 30, 1985. Garibaldi is classed as a CVS–ASW (Aircraft Carrier - Anti-Submarine Warfare) and is based in Taranto.
 
Defences are provided by two eight-cell SAM launchers firing the SARH Aspide missile and by three Oto Melara Twin 40L70 DARDO CIWS.
 
Her air-wing consists of either a maximum sixteen AV-8B Harrier II Plus, or eighteen Agusta helicopters or a mix of helicopters and fighters. The flight-deck is a characteristic off-axis design with 4 degrees ski-jump for STOL aircraft, it is 174 m long and 30,4 m wide.

Good hunting!

Now waterborne! A detailde list from credits to installation inside!

KM Graf Zeppelin Aircraft Carrier
For SF/WoV/WoE WW2: ETO/SWOTL Installs
 
A definate "What If..." style of ship, based off Hinchbrook's HMS Eagle
(and yes, I know the after deck was fully enclosed, as was the bow - it's the best, closest fit we have)
As a WARSHIP, it probably (and hopefully) won't show up in single, anti-ship missions, but can be used in single missions created with the Kreelins Mission Editor or La Missionuer (sp?)
 
With many thinks the Hinch for allowing me to mod his faux-Eagle into something 'passable' for the Krieg Marine.
 
Simply put, this is mostly for fun. So, enjoy it! :)

All right, cousins -- you made me do this!!!
Here's another 'shipwreck' item for use as eye candy; place around coastlines,ports, sand dunes, etc.
 
The enclosed readme has instructions for loading into terrain files, and I've included a copy of the 'Adding Objects' doc seen in the other shipwreck. Treat this like an other 'structure'.
 
Sorry, I couldn't get a name on the bow; after all, it is a generic tanker wreck.
Now, if we could get it to create an oil spill.....
 
Enjoy!

Just a little mod of the cargo ship, using only the destroyed textures. Rust added by me. Creates a nice, rusted wreck to be placed along any coastline, for a little eye candy.
 
Detailed instructions for adding in the enclosed WordDoc. This doc can also be used as a 'generic' tutorial for adding ground objects.
 
Enjoy!

USS Lafayette Class
Cold War submarine

HMS Antrim was part of the Falklands Taskforce.
 
Version 2 with working 4.5" guns, Seaslug SAM system and 20mm AA.

Yeah, I know, another renumbering of the Type 42. Sunk off the Falklands. If you want it, download!

HMS Glamorgan - a County Class destroyer, Antrim's sister and member of the Falklands Task Force.
 
With working 4.5" guns, Seaslug SAM and 20mm AA.

HMS Cardiff. A renumbering of my original Type 42, HMS Glasgow. Another Task Force member.

The British Type 82 destroyer, HMS Bristol. Served during the Falklands campaign.
 
Now with working Sea Dart.

Renumberings of HMS Glasgow to represent ARA Hercules and ARA Santisima Trinidad.

HMS Glasgow, a Type 42 destroyer. Saw action as a unit of the Task Force sent to the Falklands in 1982.
 
Beta version.

Renumbered "Rothesays" to represent the "Whitby" class frigates, INS Talwar (F140) and INS Trishul (F143).
 
Something for an upcoming Indo-Pakistani campaign.

Excellent Meko class guided missile frigate by capun modded by me with permission as the Royal Australian (and New Zealand) Navy ANZAC Class frigate, the Aussie version of the Meko. Capun's Meko is a 220, the Aussie version is the 200, the main differences in the 200 are the lack of the quad 30mm mount, and a VLS instead of dedicated Sea Sparrow and Harpoon launchers.
 
Capun has modified the original Meko to be helicopter capable - he has kindly allowed me to use this mod for the ANZAC Class. This has the side effect of making the ship indestructable, the same as the aircraft carriers. Can't have everything!
 
Thanks muchly CP, and thanks to CombatAce for hosting.
 
Also included is a mission to fly the Seahawk off the ANZAC, you'll need the S-70B Seahawk also available at CombatAce.
 
Put the ANZAC folder in "Objects/GroundObject" folder, and fly!

*note, A Newer Version Has Been Released*

The 3 files included are the CARGOSHIP_DATA.INI, this is needed to get the smoke to come out of the stack in the new location; and cargoship.lod which is the model itself, and I am including the cargoship.out which is generated when exporting the object from 3ds Max (not really sure what this does).
 
Currently to use the carrier fly an antishipping mission. The Antishipping mission is usually a group of cargoships but randomly has Tankers at times...this Mod replaces the Cargoship and not the Tanker, so if you get a tanker you will need to exit and reload the mission. A quick way to tell is surface radar, if multiple contacts then likely you got the carrier(s), if a single ship likely a tanker. The Carrier is visible at 8 miles.

R07 HMS Albion of the Centaur Class - Beta Release
 
The model represents the ship as completed in 1954. Not perfect, but seems worth releasing. Working AA and radar to be developed.
 
Model/texture: Hinchinbrooke
Loads of help: Gramps
 
"This class was an improvement over the war-built light fleet carriers of the "Colossus" and "Majestic" classes with double the power for an additional 5 knots of speed, accompanied by increased dimensions which resulted in more hangar space and a lightly armoured flight deck.
 
Construction was arrested by the termination of hostilities and four units (including the original Hermes) were cancelled. Three of the remaining units - Albion, Bulwark, and Centaur - were completed to a modified design, which considerably increased their original displacement of 18,300 tons and resulted in a 2-knot loss of speed, and included a 5 3/4-degree angled deck; while the final unit - the second Hermes - had further extensive modifications worked in placing her in a sub-class of her own.
 
The Albion and Bulwark were later converted to commando carriers during 1959-62, leaving only the Centaur able to operate fixed wing aircraft, and she had steam catapults installed in 1957. Owing to her relatively small size and limited hangar space, the Centaur does not now meet modern requirements, but is nevertheless, still capable of active employment although laid-up in reserve."
 
H. T. Lenton, Warships of the British and Commonwealth Navies, Ian Allan, 1971
 
All files should sit in an "Albion" sub-directory within the "Objects" directory. The data.ini file should be moved to the main "Objects" directory. Extract the groundobjectsdata.ini file and add lines for Albion.

R08 HMS Bulwark of the Centaur Class - Beta Release
 
The model represents the ship as she appeared in the late 50's, before her conversion into a commando carrier. The Albion model has been used, with a later flightdeck texture. Not perfect, but seems worth releasing. Working AA and radar to be developed.
