Sketch - SMY Hohenzollern blueprint

Following (what I expect to be) the series of technical drawings related to my AU, here's the sketch for a blueprint of the State yacht of the German Empire, the SMY Hohenzollern .

Her design was heavily inspired by a proposal of a successor for the British royal yacth Britannia that never came to reality. As you can see, it would be MUCH bigger than its predecessor (whose size wouldn't allow an helideck even in the Queen's wildest dreams), and far more luxurious. The SMY Hohenzollern has the same function: it's big, imposing and luxurious. Besides the helideck, it has a ballroom, a Grand State Room for proclamations and other important ceremonies, antecipating such need because the yacht will also serve as a nuclear shelter for the imperial family in case of war.

There is also a garage, next to the cargo deck, for the Mercedes-Benz limos and other vehicles needed (smaller cars, even armoured vehicles) should the imperial ruling couple or the Crown Princess lands in another country and they need to be chauffered around safely.

The SMY Hohenzollern also carries a troop of the Naval Infantry and a music band to entertain the passangers. Whenever she goes, the imperial yacht is followed by a Imperial Navy warship, usually a corvette.

I also made sketches for the silverware, glasses and porcelain for the yacht's table service, and for the mess dress officers must wear for lunch and dinner in important occasions.

So, this is it, my first submission of 2018. Hope you like it
