A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Ships
Description: Liberty / Victory ships from WWII
Liberty ships were a class of cargo ship built in the United States during World War II. Though British in concept, the design was adapted by the United States for its simple, low-cost construction. Mass-produced on an unprecedented scale, the Liberty ship came to symbolize U.S. wartime industrial output.
The class was developed to meet British orders for transports to replace ships that had been lost. Eighteen American shipyards built 2,710 Liberty ships between 1941 and 1945 (an average of three ships every two days), easily the largest number of ships ever produced to a single design.
Their production mirrored (albeit on a much larger scale) the manufacture of "Hog Islander" and similar standardized ship types during World War I. The immensity of the effort, the number of ships built, the role of female workers in their construction, and the survival of some far longer than their original five-year design life combine to make them the subject of much continued interest.
Ships within the package: 7 Liberty ships with different loadouts.
1 USS AO-22 Cimarron Fleet oiler.
2 other passenger ships.
Special thanks: I use the carrier from maxromash, (Sketchfab), under licence Attribution-Non-Commercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) with different changes I did to this ships.
I used other freeware models for this too. Most aircraft models are original from CFS2 and converted to FSX. Surely all models i use are freeware. So please don`t use all the elements of this models in other way as freeware without the permission of the designers.
I hope you will enjoy these models.
