SF/WO* Add-On Ships

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."

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.

HMS Vindictive, a "what if" Royal Navy large carrier, inspired by The Wrench's RN Tomcat repaint.

A generic, WWII, British Merchant Aircraft Carrier (loosely based on the "Rapana").

Submereged November Class SSN:
 
Model by Kesselbrut
Concept by KillerBee
Data Files and Weps by Fubar512
 
This represents a submerged Nomber Class SSN, and as such only shows the sub's periscope protruding above the surface. The majority of the model's hit boxes are situated below the surface, making for a rather tough target.
 
It has a radar emitter located within the periscope mast, so it appears on RWR displays. While it's radar return is miniscule by comparison, it does appear on some Radar displays, as well.

Another member of the Taskforce and HMS Plymouth's sister.

French, WWII cruiser.

The Italian battleship Giulio Cesare, Conte di Cavour's sister, in camouflage scheme. Present at Taranto, she survived (in Soviet hands) until 1955.
 
Version 2, with some extra detail and functioning main battery.

This has been sitting around the virtual workshop for a while. As we now have a WWI sim, here's something to shoot at!.............. when some sea turns up! The battleship Iron Duke as she was in the early days of the war.

RN battlecruiser. As she was between 1917-early 20's. She wasn't too much different when sunk in 1941.

Class Submarines: IKL-209
 
After having held various transformations variants Guppy, the USN Navy addresses to build nuclear submarines, with the exception of Class "Barbel, conventional submarines which were built a few units. Therefore, and for the limitations that were received second-hand ships North America, the Argentine Navy undertook to acquire new submarines and modern technology. Among the possibilities were British class "Oberon" and the German IKL-209. Not without achieving many internal discussions were imposed and that the German model was a success. The British Oberon was only a development of German submarines of World War II type XXI. While the 209 was a revolutionary design in an embryonic state, as when acquired, only two 209 were under construction for the Greek navy. The commercial success of these German ships is unparalleled.
Within the requirements of the Argentine Navy was required to navigate the submarine could dive in at least 50 days. Thus the 209 largest Argentine would be enough to hand it to the Greek Navy. The difference in tonnage involved a problem for Germany because of clauses of the Second World War were not allowed to build submarines for more than 900 tons.
We found a practical solution, where the submarines would be created in sections in Germany before being sent to Argentina to be assembled.
Submarines assembled Argentine shipyards were:
 
ARA SALTA (1974 -)
SAN LUIS ARA (1974-1995)
 
Active Since
 
it is assigned to the Command of the Submarine Force (COFS), the Susler part of the various stages of training, called "Stage Sea" with the rest of the vessels of the Sea Fleet of the Navy Argentina and planes and helicopters Command Naval Aviation (COAN).
On October 9, 1975, the S-32, full of food and fuel, left the naval base in Mar del Plata, in order to fill a shipping 50 days, which should develop different areas of the patrol South Atlantic, which included the area of the Falkland Islands. The tasks included photographic survey of the costs Falklanders, conduct computer-simulated exercises on ships sailing in the area and traffic patrol and other checks to verify the performances of the new submarine.
 
In late 1978 the product of disagreement over the sovereignty on the three islands Picton, Lennox and Nueva in the Beagle Channel tense relations between Argentina and Chile. On December 22, 1978 Argentina started Operation Sovereignty to militarily occupy the islands. The Argentine Navy orders of the executive branch has an important shipping fleet to the south.
 
The submarine ARA San Luis (S-32) leaving the conflict zone, with the rest of the ships Command Submarine Force, and emphasized in the assigned patrol zone. When the confrontation seemed inevitable, the timely intervention of Pope John Paul II to avoid the outbreak of hostilities, so that the ship is Apostadero retreated to his usual, the Naval Base Mar del Plata.
During 1990, the ship remained at sea 59 days, 799 hours of which he did in 6253 and sailed immersion miles. During the basic training conducted, participated in the testing of receipt of the class missile corvette Espora (MEKO 140) ARA Parker (P-44) (CBPA) and antisubmarine exercises with units of the Sea Fleet
By 1994, completed the modernization of its half-life sister, the ARA Salta (S-31), which assisted in these tasks as a model to develop the S-32 entered the shipyard Minister Manuel Garcia Domecq for amendment half-life, which would have complete its hull, cut it to allow the change of engines and the 480 elements of their batteries. Unfortunately, for budgetary reasons, these tasks are not met, leaving the historic submarine, placed inside the shipyard. By order of the Chief of the Navy No. 69/95 "C", the condition was Susler reservation by decree No. 364 of 23 April 1997 it was declared obsolete, while the Argentine Navy sale or, as it was one of the most important units in combat operations in the Falklands War, dealing through private initiative, which is used as the submarine museum, to highlight their situation in that war.
 
 
Performance of the ship in the Malvinas War ARA-SanLuis , under the command of Captain Fernando Fragata Azcueta, BNMP departed for the 11 April 1982 for sea trials prior to their deployment, which ended for two days. Upon his return, he receives the order to "wear a British expeditionary force incursora focal area in the Malvinas / Georgia to help maintain and consolidate the conquest of the Malvinas."
 
Do a campaign of 40 days, over which carried out three attacks on the enemy, but have operated with only three of its four diesel engines and have the computer systems of the weapons out of service, thus maintaining their capacity launch torpedoes limited to emergency conditions. After some contacts with surface ships hidrofónicos not possible and their response of attack of the enemy without, the May 1 launched a torpedo at a target at a distance (classified as a destroyer / frigate) unable to assess their effect, being then harassed by 22 h by a force of ships and helicopters, so it should settle on the seabed to avoid victimization by this attack. On May 8 made a new attack on a prized target as submarine, with a strong explosion in the azimuth of the launch, without being able to determine the effects.
 
May 10 finally made a third attack on a white, also classified as a destroyer / frigate, without also assessing its impact, but without a subsequent counterattack. On May 11 was ordered back to their base of operations, who met safely. On May 19 he joined the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base, after 39 days of patrol and 864 hours of immersion (equivalent to 36 days).

This is the "Improved" skin for the Koni fast frigate model for Strike Fighters made by Capun and Mikewhl. This is a semi-historical skin using some of the common Soviet naval colors and lettering. While its name is correct, its number is fictitious as I have been unable to ascertain with certainty the Soviet number for the Delphin. Ive also added weather deck paint, ships' boats are now painted,the main deck is colored like soviet ships, window glass is added, as are the forward weather break for the gun and the windlasses, and a red waterline added.

This is a little mod I did of the Digital Overlord's CVN-75. I wanted to have different numbers, so I edited them to represent CVN-68 to CVN-76. His carrier is far superior than the default, or any others I have seen. I also made them work fully with the new patch.
 
Install....
Extract the rar file to the root of whatever sim you are using.
You need the mission editor (on this site) so you can make some missions that start from the carriers.
 
Thanks for DigitalOverlord for his great CVN-75 aircraft carrier.
..and to all those that make carriers for the game. I really like naval aviation, and that is definitely represented in this game.

USS Sicily escort carrier
 
This model is based on edited/adapted Hinchinbrookes Zuiho model.
 
She is usable in your WW2 and Korea installations.
 
Thanx to:

You will enjoy I hope

Eagle as built. Hopefully, I'll get around to an alternative deck texture for the Suez Crisis.
 
Complaints................. you know where to send them.
 
No guarantees. It's hard enough having to deal with the cat.

This is a repaint of Hinchinbrooke's Invincible, available here on CombatAce. You'll need the original ship in order to use this skin, just unrar the file and replace the original bitmap.
 
I've tried to give the ship a more war-weary look, i hope you like it.
 
Good hunting

HMS Diamond, a Daring class destroyer, part of the RN's Suez force.
 
See ReadMe for installation of main armament. Don't forget to put the decals in the right file.

R95 Arromanches, French Navy
 
 
This model is based on edited/adapted Hinchinbrookes HMS Albion (beta)/Bulwark model.
 
This mod represents Arromanches before angled deck reconstruction.
 
 
She is usable in your Israeli theatre campaign installations (espetially in Suez crysis). And in First Indochina War (but there is no campaign builded in the community for this time I think)
 
 
 
BIG THANKS to Hinchinbrook for models and help.
Thanx to Thirdwire and TK for SFP1/WOV/WOE/WOI series.
Thanx to CombatAce for great forum.
 
 
You will enjoy I hope :-)

Description
-------------
The European FREMM frigate and the Aster 30 Missile.
The FREMM Multipurpose Frigate (French Frégate multi-mission or Italian Fregata Europea Multi-Missione) is a ship designed by DCN and Fincantieri to operate in anti-air, anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare, and be capable of carrying out deep strikes against land targets.
 
The French Navy plans to operate eleven FREMM frigates, and the Marina Militare ten. The first commissionings are expected in 2012 when the first of the French vessels is due in service (France has placed orders for 11 FREMM frigates, Italy 6 with the last 4 has been funded at the end of 2007). The ships will be built in France by Armaris (owned by DCNS, and in Italy by Orizzonte Sistemi Navali (a joint venture between shipbuilder Fincantieri and aerospace firm Finmeccanica). This arrangement extends the partnerships forged for development of the Horizon CNGFs (Common New Generation Frigates). Morocco has bought one frigate to be operated by the Royal Moroccan Navy.

Fletcher Class Destroyer (1941-46) by GrinchWSLG
 
This is representative of a war era Fletcher. To be exact its a late war version. The model is a mix of different ships, specifically the Kidd and the Sullivans. Its finished in Measure 22. A paintkit is included for those who want to finish it in the various other Measures used during the war.
 
 
Intallation:
 
1. For SF, WOV, WOE, WOI: Put the "Fletcher" folder into your "GroundObject" folder
For SF2: ...do whatever you do to install ground objects.
 
2. That's it. List seemed kind of dumb with just one item.
 
The default texture is 2048 as its a big object. If this is too large for you or you plan on having many Fletchers on screen, I've included a 1024x1024 texture as well. Its located in the 1024Texture folder.
