I tired to find a cut away of the Ancient Greek marvel of siege warfare the Helepolis. That was in a book about Ancient Warfare at the school library.

But all the hi res cutaway images of it are now Alamy and others owned. Image search is not what it used to be.

Fascinating and beautiful, thanks!

Those old Picture books at school were well borrowed. Before CGI and things cut always had that magical look inside and out thing.

This stuff always impressed how advanced it was, then forgot it all for a millennia. Progress often has two directions.

Do you have a cutaway for the Essex or Midway class CVs? Original design configuration?

covertshores.bsky.social•18 days ago

I pretty much just do submarines are occasionally unconventional boats

loveshack.bsky.social•18 days ago

Well they are wonderful. I really appreciate them. :)

This is an awesome cutaway.

I've always loved looking at these ever since I was a kid.

I was completely unaware of the anti-ship rocket system too.

covertshores.bsky.social•17 days ago

That was never installed

rollback.bsky.social•16 days ago

I figured that, but I'd never even heard of it prior to seeing this.

A very modern Boat. It was good that Germany was not able to rollout these things in massive numbers.

It’s just http not https. Just click view anyway

Thanks

Just to chime in - since you're not sending any data to the site, there's no real risk other than someone else trying to impersonate the site (and that would be impressive). It's a good warning for modern web sites, but for such a "classic" one, it doesn't really matter either way.

These cutaways are really amazing on so many levels.

You should make a book with them!
