During World War I, the ship was used primarily as a training ship and assisted in the return of American troops from Europe to the United States after the war.
United States Mitscher-class destroyers
were four experimental large destroyers built by the US Navy shortly after World War II. It was larger than all previous destroyers, but was reclassified as Destroyer Leader during construction. It served in 1953-1954, two of which remained in service until 1969, and were dismantled in the 70 s. The other two were converted into guided missile destroyers, which remained in service until 1978 and were sold for dismantling in 1980. It was designed to test different propulsion systems and other equipment to determine the best option for future destroyer designs. The design and construction provided valuable lessons for future destroyer development for the U.S. Navy.
German heavy cruiser "Admiral Scheer"
It is a member of the German class heavy cruiser, and is often called a "pocket battleship" by the British ". Named after German Admiral Reinhard Schell, he served in the German Navy during World War II. It was launched on 1 April 1933 and commissioned on 12 November 1934. It was designed to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles's restrictions on the tonnage of German ships, while being equipped with powerful firepower and armor. It was dismantled after the war, but due to its large hull, the government had no economic reason to completely salvage the destroyed hull after the war. The wreckage is still buried under the rubble and rubble of the Elbrek district of Kiel city.
German BEOWULF large cruiser
It is a program in the design of D-class armored ships. In response to the construction of the Dunkirk-class battleships by the French Navy, Germany had to make major design changes to the D-class armored ships and built two new armored ships, code-named D and E. The German Navy chose the D5a option equipped with two quad-mounted 283mm guns. Designed and built to counter the new French naval threat, the German Navy's demand and design ambitions for large warships during World War II. However, for a number of reasons, including changes in political and military strategy, these plans ultimately failed to materialize and the BEOWULF was not actually built.
British Bacchus class light cruiser
Named after Bacchus, the god of wine, corresponding to the star Bacchus in the celestial body. In order to make up for the outdated and insufficient firepower of the battle-class destroyers on the main gun fire control and targeting system, the British Navy designed a cruiser for coordination and command of the battle-class destroyers, the Bacchus class. The design was inspired by the Edinburgh-class cruiser's hull construction concept. A six-seat twin-mounted 113mm RP10MarkIV rapid-fire gun is installed along the central axis. The sub-charged ammunition is used to obtain better ballistic performance. It can fire about 15-20 rounds per minute. Due to the poor financial situation of the United Kingdom, ships of this class were not actually built.
British Uranus Super Light Cruiser
Named after the god of the sky in Roman mythology, it corresponds to the celestial planet Uranus. After World War II, the British colonies and territories continued to erupt in revolts, threatening British rule, and the British Navy therefore restarted the design and rearmament of new cruisers. It was the product of Britain's failed struggles. With the introduction of American technology, the N1 127mm rapid-fire gun replaced the slightly obsolete 113mm naval gun. The automatic loader and water cooling device provided a solid guarantee for the continuous firing of the gun, theoretically increasing the firing rate of the gun to 66 rounds per minute. However, because the turret was too heavy, it had to be installed on the ship in the form of a single gun.
British NOX class II light cruiser
Named after the goddess of the night, it is a light cruiser in the first-class design proposal. At the end of the First World War, the British Navy, in response to rumors of the German Navy building high-speed cruisers, redesigned the D-class cruiser and submitted numerous proposals. The NOX class represented a design proposal for the installation of a small caliber rapid-fire naval gun. It is planned to adopt a twin-mounted 113mm/45x diameter QF Mk.I(Mk.IIIUD gun base) gun as a dual-purpose anti-aircraft gun. This artillery uses fixed ammunition and has a firing rate of up to 12 rounds per minute. It is commonly found on aircraft carriers such as HMS Royal Ark and HMS Glory and HMS Glory.

Built by the Götaverken and Carlscrona Naval Shipyard, a total of six were built, with one T121Spica preserved as a museum ship. The design of the Spica class was based on a model developed by the German shipyard Lürssen, and its aggressive tactics and heavy armament made it a dangerous adversary for any invading fleet during the Cold War. The hull was made of steel, unlike some designs of the time that used plywood. The hull can be closed while operating in a nuclear radiation area.
Sweden Ettan Steam Ferry
Ettan ("No.1") was a steam ferry that was launched in 1886 at the WilliamLindberg Shipyard in Stockholm, Sweden. The ferry serves a number of routes between the 14 islands within the city of Stockholm. The design and construction of Ettan reflects the technical characteristics of steam-powered ships in the late 19th century. Its original model, built by JanClaesson at the Swedish Maritime Museum between 2015 and 2021, provides insight into the historic steam ferry.
9th century Gokstadsskeppet Viking ship
A 9th-century Viking ship, it was discovered in 1880 in a tomb mound in Gokstad, Norway. It is constructed of plywood and is mainly used for war, trade, and the transportation of people and goods. The crew is about 40 to 70 people, and the maximum speed can reach 11-12 knots. Through the analysis of the annual rings of the wood, it is determined that the ship was built in about 890 years. The design and construction techniques demonstrate the advanced Viking shipbuilding skills as a powerful marine vehicle and a noble burial place for Viking chiefs, reflecting the social importance of the ship in Viking culture.

Roman Period Anse de Laurons 2 Sailboat
was the shipwreck of a small Roman-period galleon, dated to the end of the 3rd century AD, probably sunk in a storm, and was at anchor for refuge in the shallow port of Laurons, west of modern-day Marseille, France. It is about 15 meters long and has an estimated displacement of about 30 tons. It may only trade between small ports on the local coast. When the ship was sunk, its left side was quickly covered with sediment, ensuring an excellent state of preservation down to the deck and even the railing. There are preserved rigging elements, spare rudders, and fragments of wooden panels that may cover the cargo hold, as well as rarely preserved structures used to support the side rudders. This reconstruction is based on the plans of R.Bockius
British Pluto light cruiser
Named after the Roman god Pluto, corresponding to the celestial body Pluto. The primary armament was the Type N2 127mm naval gun developed for the 1950 Large Destroyer Program. The gun is equipped with an advanced ammunition supply and cooling system, and the average firing speed is 2.8 seconds, which can dump a large amount of firepower on enemy ships in a very short time. Its excellent ballistic performance helps Pluto attack more distant targets. Modern masts provide a favorable platform for the installation of new fire control equipment, and artillery targeting radars can coordinate naval artillery and anti-aircraft fire to carry out fierce attacks on incoming enemy aircraft. In a short time, the enemy plane was shot down quickly.
