    Hey guys,

    Thought I'd pass on a link I found a few days ago: http://www.gahetna.nl/collectie/arc...rsinbreng/aan/volledige-tekst/aan/eadid/4.MST

    The Dutch National Archive has done what the French archive did a few years back, scan their warship plans and make them available for download. My primary area of interest is ironclads and pre-dreadnoughts so I didn't look at much else.... but the later WW2 stuff is there as well.

    The Dutch coast defence battleships were also still in service in WW2.

    The files are huge jpegs so it is a bit slow and tedious to download but worth it. If you are shameless hoarder of plans like me make sure you have a huge hard drive.... I downloaded almost 25 gigs of plans.

    Hope this helps a few guys out :)
