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.

You can buy the Oriland Sailing Adventure CD which has nice designs! Have a look at their website at oriland.com

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.

I like the Full Masted Ship by Patricia Crawford:

and http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0486401 ... eader-link

It is the last model diagrammed in Robert Harbin's Origami: A Step-by-Step Guide (1974), ISBN: 0 600 38109 9 .

(Check out the revised edition: Origami - Step by Step by Robert Harbin, 63 pages, 30 models, ISBN 0-486-40136-7, from Amazon.)

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

Yes, Finward, I was also thinking of Redpaper's work when I read this topic!

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.
