Your ships are so cool! I used to have a Lego battleship called USS Florida until I decommissioned her in 2022. USS Florida had a Phalanx CIWS, several Anti-aircraft guns and missiles, and a main gun. I have plans to rebuild her since the hull is still complete. (USS Florida 2018-2022)
1:10 So the Sword-Class has 152mm cannons. Probably not effective against larger vessels. But possibly effective against smaller patrol vessels and maybe large destroyers. 1:20 The Phantom-Class is equipped with a 76mm cannon. Definitely more suitable for commerce raiding. 1:35 The Dolphin-Class has 127mm cannons, the caliber along with the larger caliber torpedo tubes, this one suits its purpose of escorting large fleets. 1:53 I know this one is a carrier, but the Investigator-Class’s secondary armament (the one with duel 5” guns) is 127mms, so it’s going to have to rely on the aircraft to do something. 2:05 Oof, the Protector-Class is not going to last long against ships with 3”-19” caliber weapons unless they are gonna use their AA guns to protect themselves, maybe the Dolphin-Class ships I mentioned earlier might be the only defense for this ship. 0:54 The Piranha-Class Patrol boat is decent, with 76mm cannon. And a good amount of torpedos, and in packs, this ship is gonna be a menace. 0:38 The Vigilance-Class patrol boat is armed with only one 127mm rapid fire cannon, which is effective to small ships and large destroyers, however, if more long range ships with high caliber artillery. This is gonna be smoked. 2:54 The Vanguard-Class is just a bigger version of the Protector-Class, all air cover, this ship needs some Dolphin-Class Escorts.
@@81stbrickbattalionI prefer battleships, but I use carriers for their effective long range and more accurate attacks. But the battleship is incomparable in damage.
A battleship with strong air cover can decisively control a sea zone, making any attempt to challenge it come at a steep price. This reminds me of the Guadalcanal campaign and the fierce battles in Iron Bottom Sound.
@@81stbrickbattalionExactly. Battleships are useful, especially cuz of their large body and massive amounts of armor, in fact, most carriers used to be built on cruiser and battleship hulls
This is an awesome naval task force and fleet you have, i made my own fleet to which i named "CSG-5" after tue famous Carrier strike group Enterprise CV-6 was in. Ships i have are as follows: USS Iowa, IJN Musashi, IJN Atago, USS Laffey DD-459, USS Long island CVE 1, and im makeing the IJN Chikuma. Happy sailing!
Reminds me of an old build of my own, HMCS Yellowknife. A (fictional) Canada class battleship that would've been built in the late 1930's as the washington naval treaty collapsed. She was scrapped to due several reasons in 2022, but your lovely video showcasing the evolution of your fleet reminded me of her. I like some of the building techniques you used in your ships and the designs are fascinating in their construction. Great video!
I made my own lego battleship, it was known as the Coalition-class Battleship. Only one ship of the class was built which was the Coalition. The ship's design was similar to that of the Renown-Class Battlecruisers of the Royal Navy, but shorter and the weapons are all different. The main turrets were the same layout, 3 twin-barrel guns. Coalition was built in 1935 and entered service in 1939, she was the flagship of my Lego fleet until she was sunk by German U-Boats on the Mediterranean in 1944.
That’s awesome. I like the phrase “Big guns only” from World of Warships describing battleships and battlecruisers. Now that’s gun boat diplomacy. I should really start building and buying more destroyers and cruisers otherwise my carriers will suffer the same fate.
Honestly, my love for lego was dying a bit. But my inspiration has skyrocketed because of you, and now I know what I can do? Thank you so much! Edit: I forgot to say 1 more thing, your ships are actually really damn cool. The designs are amazing, well done!
i turned a lego mandolorian space maruder or whatever into a battleship with 2 ciws on the sides, a .50 cal dual turret (from cobi) on the top, and either a triple 16" gun loadout or a dual lazer cannon mount. it was sold for scrap about a year ago but has been revived with minor changes
When watching this video it reminded me about my own lego battleship USS Freedom GJ. This battleship had three 16 inch guns one 8 inch gun two missile launchers and a lot of anti air. It was also equipped with a airplane launcher like the Yamato battleship. Very cool video
Dude, this is so cool! Your original designs are awesome, I can tell you actually have knowledge about naval + aviation stuff instead of making up everything!
Hello I am currently working on my LOZIANA SS-HSHV. I’m thinking of it to be an old timey aircraft carrier originally designed to transport space shuttles. What are your thoughts on this and do you have any sort of tips
Sounds great! - Make sure to make flight deck wide to accomodate larger or more aircraft/spacecraft - An addition of some cranes can help the ship to recover crashed aircraft or small modules from manned rockets
Nice! I usually do spaceships myself, but I can appreciate a good navy! My best spaceship is an 18" long ship called the Blackhole Constrictor. It has a hangar in the middle with two doors that fold open to deploy a bomber. My favorite of your ships was the Vanguard carrier, very nice indeed (although it appears to be quite susceptible to air-to-sea torpedo attacks due to the open-air lookouts on the sides). Nice video though, keep up the good work!
I made many ships in my time, mainly small cruisers and destroyers, but this gave me nostalgia from my old pre-battleships, which I called Flat ships, due to having no real hull and built on base plates. But I made more modern warships, many being pocket battleships and multi-role cruisers, (I have 2 cruisers with a flight deck and runway on the back of the ship.) and Dreadnought style warships were a trend in my Navy. I have many photos and videos, mainly one that I have on me. And I only ever made like 3 carriers, which are small escort type carriers since I’m poor and making Large carriers is extremely expensive. And I only ever made 3 ships capable of launching ICBMs and Anti Ship missiles. You definitely got a sub out of me here. Thanks so much for reinspiring me.
That’s so cool. I should really think about adding new modern ships to my fleet or maybe some space vessels. I have made quite a number of naval gun mounts but not a vessel in a while.
@@81stbrickbattalion Yeah, also, if you and me ever fight, you probably whoop me due to me only having only 5 ships 💀, but if I could bring all of my previous ships back, only like 2-3 of them could even put up a fight.
Sounds really similar to what the Japanese were doing in WW2. You can have a fleet in being where you have some really powerful naval units that can tie down a lot of the opponent’s units as seen with KMS Tirpitz in WW2.
@@81stbrickbattalion so i havent gotten a lot of free time but im almost done. ive added some tug boats and a full hangar with foldable planes. its looking really cool. i even added a crane for loading cargo and stuff. might add some type of helicopter hanger or just a heli pad but yeah
I am impressed. You got a diverse air wing of planes and helicopters, support boats, and logistical components to support all these assets. Remember to add damage control measures like a CO2 fire suppression system, protected magazine and armoury delivery systems, and redundant control systems to increase ship survivability. A good sensor suite of radar and communications can keep your ship aware of its suroundings. Keep up the good work :).
This inspired me to create My own aircraft carrier, designated as RLN Exodus. It had Anti-aircraft turrets on each side, and it could fit about two drones and a MH-60R Romeo anti-sub helicopter. I am planning to build more ships to expand my lego navy. Edit:RLN Exodus is now scrapped, now planning to build landing dock ship RLN Dolphin and also i have a support ship which is RLCG Saving Grace. Edit:RLCG Saving Grace and RLN Dolphin are scrapped, I now have a Kiev Class aircraft carrier, not named yet.
I used a combination of hinges, bricks, and plates to create the bow and sterns of my ships. I also build bulkheads that intersect the outer hull to give the hull rigidity. Ships can be very piece intensive so you might need to make the ship a rainbow. Using the colourful bricks for the bulkheads can save bricks with the colours you want.
Yeah. My navy needs new ships such as frigates, corvettes, or destroyers to escort capital ships and convoys and perhaps replace my older Dolphin Class destroyers. I need find the time though... Maybe you'll see a surprise this christmas.
If you don’t mind me asking, but what are the dimensions of the vanguard class? I’m thinking about making a carrier in similar size for my 1/72 planes. Also if you go on rebrickable, there are some amazing planes such as the f4f wildcat and the tbf avenger to complement your carrier.
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll check out Rebrickable. I don't have the ship anymore though I can make an estimation. It's about 54" long and 7.5" at its widest but I would recommend making the flight deck wider to make aircraft operations easier.
Nice navy! You have: 2 helicopters 1 drone 3 heavy boats/destroyers 2 light boats 4 aircraft carriers 12 aircraft 1 support boat My recomendations: more drones would be awesome! Especially for the drone carrier and... mid air refuling? another sub. Also, ballistic missile(s)? 1 Large aircraft carrier with actual arresting wire(s) __________________________________________________ This navy is awesome! You officially are second place in terms of aircraft carriers! That tomcat was awesome for a self-build! Keep it up! (btw, i wanna see more, send updates plz.)
These look great, great to see more people building not just warships, but a entire navy And as someone who is really into naval history, it makes them even better
Thanks :). I used pieces I have collected over many years and Lego's online pick a brick store. Currently I am experimenting with many other sources like the Lego store pick-a-brick wall and BrickLInk. I am always looking for new ways to get greater bang for buck.
I'm planning to make a video with some of mine and your ships go head to head (I'm pretty fair, because I want the most accurate result.) Like the Tranquility vs the Vanguard, the Vigilance vs the Defender, and more.) How does that sound? I will also of course credit you for the original footage and owner of the vessels and your channel will be in the description.
OK, Just letting you know, I will br including my scrapped ships, so if you would like, I am asking if you want your scrapped ships in this video as well? Also, lore wise, how many planes does the Vanguard has?
@Ancient_Historical Yeah. You can use my scrapped ships. Vanguard physically in real life can likely hold up to 20 full sized folding naval aircraft (Perhaps 8 fighters, 6 dive bombers, 6 torpedo bombers, Minifig sized planes are really large to store). If the aircraft shrunk even more you could potentially hold up to 35-40 aircraft but each aircraft’s firepower and range will be much less. You could probably have a whole 35 multi-role drone UAVs if the technology was there.
Very cool. I liked that first carrier with the lower deck cannon, very interesting design! My own Navy has ended up taking a bit of a back seat in favour of a Star Fleet, which also has been growing since about 2007-8. I do very much see a similar evolution of design though, in the build complexity over the years! And I'm honestly surprised how closely your Navy and my Star Fleet mirror each other in terms of detail and variety. Different ships with different roles, fighters, bombers, carriers and all that. Plus of course the detailed specifications about what weapons and technologies each ship has. The main difference I think is that I built the Star Fleet in microscale. So a hello to your fleet from the RSF Infernal!
I do have a star fighter core (X wings, Y wings, A wings, e.t.c) though I have contemplated on ordering Acclamators, Venators, Peltas, or Star Destroyers to form a proper star fleet :). I have to work out the logistics first. That star fleet of yours sounds very cool.
I had a small warship named USS emerald and was built in 2021 and decommissioned to build better warships and other military stuff R.I.P emerald (2021-2024).
Change in military doctrine and classification as time passed by. By current classification standards it would be better to reclassify that old cruiser as a frigate or corvette.
How good are you? I mean like i dont know anyone who can design lego like you do! Keep up the hardwork and you definetley deserve more subscribers ❤❤❤😊
Tiger class battleship. Reminds me of the Kongo and Iowa class. These fast battleship / battlecruisers are able to keep up with carriers and potentially provide firepower against anything that can chase down a carrier task group. That unit concept is an asset. I will think about it.
In most cases I take new photos with better backgrounds for new and current models or I selectively choose better photos for older models. However, in this case I only had 2 photos of the ship available to me at the time. These photos at 5:06 were taken in a storage area with many different types of boxes (electronics, clothing, games, e.t.c). For credibility purposes I decided to use those photos unedited.
Cool ships. Mine were pirate ships for a while until it turned into battleships and aircraft carriers. They were mostly focused on being durable and not good looking. They had lazers and railguns and the aircraft are 6th gen+. Prob is they’re all in pieces after a lizard with atomic breath destroyed them😅😅😅
Actually I have the instructions on the description of the video “How to build a F14 Tomcat”. That video will give access to the stop motion or digital instructions (Digital instructions also feature parts catalog).
I used bricks from my own collection so I did not pay any money. However, if I were to source the parts of bricklink I'd probably guess it would cost $100 CAD to $130 CAD including shipping if simple bricks are easy to come by.
parts were cannibalized from my own sets, bought via LEGO store or online pick a brick, gifted to me, bought via BrickLink. It took me a while but I was able to build up a sizeable piece inventory over 10 years.
if you dont have enough bricks or panels then you could always use sideways plates for the hull to save bricks for the superstructure and other features

I am trying to make 1 for the army and the marines. Got a lot of work to do but I will see what I can do :).
@@81stbrickbattalion ok, sounds great
Suggestion: make a Tiger Class Battleship (its like the USS Iowa but a bit smaller, and much upgraded)
Tiger class battleship. Reminds me of the Kongo and Iowa class. These fast battleship / battlecruisers are able to keep up with carriers and potentially provide firepower against anything that can chase down a carrier task group. That unit concept is an asset. I will think about it.
Me:lore year 6152 still uses guns on ships despite having advancements in technology
I made lego jets the Goblin class small fighters I made em in 2020 and decommissioned all 5 in 2023.
Amazing!!!
Especially love the Vanguard class, reminds me of the old Cold War Hermes class carrier
You should get the game Stormworks and make these ships there
Thanks :). Stormworks looks cool. I will take a look into it.
I do quite fancy this
5:06 wat in da hell is going in da background I could not ignore that sir
In most cases I take new photos with better backgrounds for new and current models or I selectively choose better photos for older models. However, in this case I only had 2 photos of the ship available to me at the time. These photos at 5:06 were taken in a storage area with many different types of boxes (electronics, clothing, games, e.t.c). For credibility purposes I decided to use those photos unedited.
Cool ships. Mine were pirate ships for a while until it turned into battleships and aircraft carriers. They were mostly focused on being durable and not good looking. They had lazers and railguns and the aircraft are 6th gen+. Prob is they’re all in pieces after a lizard with atomic breath destroyed them😅😅😅
We have accidently awakened ancient beasts from their slumber.
I want to make my own navy but because my house is by the lake i want to only make ones that can float
Nice!
Your very talented pls keep posting
Thank you :). I really appreciate it. I am very busy but I will see what I can do.
That F14 is sick please release instructions for it as i need something that cool
Actually I have the instructions on the description of the video “How to build a F14 Tomcat”. That video will give access to the stop motion or digital instructions (Digital instructions also feature parts catalog).
thanks i will definitely build this as it is a really cool build
Good
now the question is, that my custom a-10 warthog i made out of lego, almost the same size as that would be able to land??
I would probably need a super carrier for that
how much do i have to pay for the dolphin class one?
I used bricks from my own collection so I did not pay any money. However, if I were to source the parts of bricklink I'd probably guess it would cost $100 CAD to $130 CAD including shipping if simple bricks are easy to come by.
ok thanks, just know you inspired me to build my own aircraft carrier@@81stbrickbattalion
i want you to see if they float :)
They float across house floors that’s for sure :).
Remember all this information is unclassified just think of the capabilities that are classified
how did you get so many parts? like sets you bought for you able to create your own designs, especially the tom cat 4d one
parts were cannibalized from my own sets, bought via LEGO store or online pick a brick, gifted to me, bought via BrickLink. It took me a while but I was able to build up a sizeable piece inventory over 10 years.
if you dont have enough bricks or panels then you could always use sideways plates for the hull to save bricks for the superstructure and other features
