USS Kentucky

6,776 Nitsu  2.8 years ago

History

the USS Kentucky was an Iowa class battleship built for the US Navy, but never finished. As WW2 ended, the need for new battleships vanished and she sat unfinished with delays in building. Ultimately seeing the scrapyards in 1958.

One of her plans was to use missiles as her main weapon, but this plan never came to fruition.

Activation Groups

1: Front Turret
4: Back Turret
7: hull missile
8: top tripod missile

Rant

Howdy, its me again. Its been so long, i didn't even remember when i finished this. I never really got around to upload this because i also made a video documenting this build from start to finish. Which will come sometime after this post, the video really shows what features i planned and what i scraped because it ended up not working.

i had been busy with real life work for the past 2 weeks, and im now just starting to find room to wiggle in Simple Planes.

    @Nitsu nolike the bit where it says it was never finished due to ww2 ending so im guessing you made it to look like the irl model of it and not the complete ship (eg 1 turret nothing at the front) get what i mean
