re picture 6 - It's a model of a World War 2 American design for a hybrid carrier/battleship that was never built. Apparently the Japanese built a few (Ise and Hyuga) but they were never succesful. The Royal Navy also looked at the concept I am told. Hasegawa make (or used to make) plastic kits of these. There is a web-site where someone has done a similar job based on a Bismarck hull!
