Share Your (Water) Ships!

[Piatzin]

So this is my first post (Hi!!) and I decided to make it about (water-based) ships, which have been a slight obsession of mine for the past, well, since I saw one. I finally tried my hand at building a few in KSP, but there are still some things that I need to work on. Basically, I'd like to see some ship designs from you all, and otherwise just exchange ideas for the best hull shapes, engine placement, etc.

Here's the best ship I've built so far:

The name at the moment is simply 'Corvette.' Her top speed is 67 m/s, and she's also quite stable when making tight turns:

Part count is 50.

The newest generation, older ones were more armor and less speed.

 I love that gif. I find it occasionally annoying when the engines rise out of the water and cause all that spray though (my corvette has that problem lol). Do you usually try to avoid that? I'm experimenting with underwater engines, but the intakes seem to break when I hit speeds above 50 m/s

You can turn it off in the settings I forget which setting. Try to keep as much above the waterline as possible, armor has tons of drag. Biggest ship goes 55 by doing that.

What mod did you use for the propeller?
