    Does anyone have, or know where to find Greek armored cruiser Georgios Averof plans? This is what it looks like, still semi-active in fact:

    Taubmans maybe? ANB has some of the Italian armored cruisers, I have their plans for the very similar San Giorgio. Of course the Russians seem to have all the odd ships. Predread or Tugboat may know.

    LOL, when I stayed in my Bosses apartment right across the street from that ship back in the 90's I always assumed it was one of the BB's that Greece purchased from us.

    He owned the top 2 floors in the first building on the right hand side facing toward the buildings, where the main road is shaped like a H and goes from the harbor to the buildings, right across the street from the ships.

    No unfortunately. But with the secondary guns in turrets it is an easy mistake to make.

    Just took a look at the plans from the wiki listing, and noted the strange angle of the propshafts. She'd be a handful to steer on one prop.....

    Thats cool dj, it does seem like a very cool ship. And Darren, i'd probably make them parallel as to make turning better. I am fast gun, so it wont have to be perfectly scale.
