US Navy ship
My mother commissioned me to make a navy ship for my dad, a retired boatswains mate, and i cant find any diagrams for one. I keep trying to design one, but I keep getting stuck. It cannot be TOO complex, but just hard enough to impress them both.
I don't fail, I succeed in finding what doesn't work!

There are some ship diagrams here

Not exactly what you are looking for I know but maybe it will give you ideas and or a base to start with. The pirate ship one was impressive though I don't know if it was all one piece of paper since I didn't look at the diagram. I believe I saw a ship with rigging on Sara Adams site but the video is not there anymore and I don't remember who it was by.

If what you're searching is a sailing boat, i would recommends this. It dont looks that complex, and its very complete.

Of course, if what you're searching is a complete battleship or an aircraft carrier, you cold inspire on something like these

Try finding one of Yoshihide Momotani's books.
I seem to recall the one shown at the top, or a different book of his that has battleships and aircraft carriers, among other things.

Try to find Akira Kawamura's books. They're out of print, but he does include battleships.
His website is here, but I haven't looked at it in detail.

Yes, I am that Joseph Wu. Not that it really matters. And please call me Joseph or Joe. "Mr. Wu" is my dad.
