"The best ships that never were!" Just an idea. Pretty much anything goes so long as the ship never exisited, though I think doing a ship that was laid down but never launched in water is acceptable. Also, doing converted ships would be acceptable to. (ie building an IJN Shinano as a battleship)

It's brilliant idea !! I am thinking about building WW I auxiliary cruiser, something like "USS Harrisburg" using old hull and parts of Heller 1:150 Preussen...

The USS Iowa with her Harrier ramp and deck would be interesting.

Or maybe the USS Oriskany loaded up as a cruise missile VLS platform.

So many possible ideas....
