Sadly it is not known to me if they ever managed to find it and catch up to the rest of the fleet

>1850s: Design and building of Self Propelled steam ships, with paddlewheels mostly, then towards the end internal screws. Explosive shells also made their debut de guerre in the battle of Sinope, which demonstrated the need for Iron armor.

>1860s: Development of the armoured frigate, which would later become what we know as a cruiser, see HMS Warrior. The first monitors and Breastwork monitors are built, based off the concept of floating batteries used in Crimean War.

>1870s: Ships like what you're referring to. Very weird looking, and were basically the center of debate of whether to into Central Battery (casemates) or Turrets.

HMS Royal Soverign is developed at the end of the 1870s and her design becomes the basis for all Pre-Dreadnought design.

In the case of the US, Congress wouldn't let the navy rebuild after the Civil War. At one point they tricked congress into letting them refit the rotting ironclad monitors, then proceeded to build new ones to the same spec. During the Spanish-American war, the navy didn't have open-ocean capable gunships.

Yeah. There's nothing wrong with the design of the ship. She's just old and the deck isn't long enough.
The Russia Navy could totally get away with building a new carrier the same but with added length.


>>32223775
The Invincible class isn't bad. I wonder why nobody has done a ramp/catapult yet. Having the ramp devoted to the quick launching of fighters and strike aircraft, and reserving the flat deck for heavier stuff.

Also when talking about carriers, I think the Lexington and Saratoga were some of the most beautiful.

>>32224535
Not really. Ships are expensive. Expensive to design, tool up for, build, and maintain.
So any legislative body would be opposed to such high cost when there isn't an immediate requirement.
Although it always worked out that congress decided "We'll make do with what we have", and then all of a sudden they find themselves in a war with obsolete equipment and have to rapidly build up.
Which is why since the end of WW2 the US has taken the approach of always trying to be ahead in tech and numbers.

I seriously don't get why won't they just make a class of main battle ships at this point. Worked with tanks.

>She was sunk at her moorings on 23 September 1941 by two near-simultaneous hits by 1,000-kilogram (2,200 lb) bombs near the forward superstructure. They caused the explosion of the forward magazine which heaved the turret up, blew the superstructure and forward funnel over to starboard and demolished the forward part of the hull from frames 20 to 57. 326 men were killed and the ship gradually settled to the bottom in 11 meters (36 ft) of water.
>The rear part of the ship was later refloated and she was used as a floating battery although all of her 120 mm guns were removed. Initially only the two rearmost turrets were operable, but the second turret was repaired by the autumn of 1942. She fired a total of 1,971 twelve-inch shells during the Siege of Leningrad.
>In December 1941 granite slabs 40–60 millimeters (1.6–2.4 in) thick from the nearby harbor walls were laid on her decks to reinforce her deck protection. Another transverse bulkhead was built behind frame 57 and the space between them was filled with concrete to prevent her sinking if the original bulkhead was ruptured.

>Class designations are virtually meaningless.
How dare you, the class system is still well in effect, just now are the brass starting to realize multi role functionality is nice for getting more bang for your buck, but it always comes second to a dedicated system, and that is our current line of destroyers, a cookie cutter pattern multi role ship.

It sounds expensive, congress is afraid of things that sound expensive, arguably the 'destroyers' today are really cruisers and the Zumwalt is a battle cruiser, but nobody tells congress because destroyer sounds cheaper.

>I wonder why nobody has done a ramp/catapult yet
If you're going to the trouble of having cats, you might as well go all the way. the USN has 4 cats on each carrier, and even for launching fighters cats have the advantage of greater MGTOW. so a ramp would go unused, only taking up deck space and restricting operations.

It would offer no real increase in capabilities over it's tonnage in destroyers while being less flexible in terms of deployment options and a greater loss if sunk or disabled (while having virtually no more survivability against anti-ship weapons).

Specialisation offers no advantage when your standardised missile cell can load virtually any type of your various specialised missiles.
