    For those looking for U.S. ship plans I found this web site it seems some plans don't have enough detail that I would like but there is a lot of ship plans to look through.

    The plans they have are enough that you can put together a hull in Delftship (or Sketchup, just a little more work) and generate a frames drawing.

    Ok Thanks.Taking a look now.
    I like. Now I have lots of ships to pick from.
    But where would I go to get these blue Prints printed off. A photo copy shop. Any ideas
    Looking to buy a used hobby band saw ,See a few locally on the internet for $30
    I think I am looking at building a USA Battle ship from wwII.

    Thanks again
    I think I want to build the battleship USS Iowa,But that good website you sent me to does not have the blue prints, Do you know what other US battleships had the same hull design .
    Here is a video of the great ship from the USS Iowa youtube channel

    Anything in the Iowa class would have mostly the same hullform.
