Plans for sister ship USS Jupiter are here:

HNSA-Booklet of General Plans

Since USS Jupiter was later converted into the aircraft carrier USS Langley, I'd love to see paper models of both Langley and Cyclops.

Also note that the Historic Naval Ships Association plans page also has 1895 plans of USS Olympia. Other ships if interest include the armored cruiser USS Montana, the never-built BB-49 USS South Dakota, destroyer USS Bainbridge, gunboat USS Erie, Eagle Boat #60 (should be relatively easy to design in paper, since Henry Ford insisted on using flat steel plates for much of the hull), and many others.
