A lot of interesting websites have appeared recently:
Alt_Naval Photos
This site has many images of alternate warship designs. Categories include ships never finished, ships designed but never built, hypotheticals, and “extremely hypothetical” designs. The category of designed but unbuilt ships includes “photos” of the British G3 and N3 classes, the US Montana class, the Japanese Super Yamato, and several destroyer and cruiser designs as well.
The photos are of high quality, and the site also provides links to other interesting places. The creator doesn’t identify himself, but he’s done a service to anyone interested in hypothetical designs or just warships and naval history in general.

Captain Dave’s Naval Wargame Page

The Aerial Reconnaissance Archives
This site is run in England by the Aerial Reconnaissance Archives, the official repository of 5.5 million aerial reconnaissance photos taken by the UK during WWII. The potential for value historians and scenario designers is tremendous. www.evidenceincamera.co.uk
