It just occurred to me that you've included some 3x2 - 305mm semi-dreadnoughts, but not the two GC Invencible class ships.

If semi-dreads are included, the you should also include the NS United States.

I have not generally included 30cm armed semi-dreads. The only exceptions would be the NUS ones, but the later of them was included due to her late construction, and the earlier just due to momentum.

Alright.  No skin off my teeth.

What are we classifying as Dreadnoughts again?

Just wondering on some of Rohan's earlier Dreadnought/Semi-Dreadnoughts (2 x Arcadias and 2 x Freawines)

Rohan will be adding four ships to this list.

Berold x 2 (1913)
Eorl x 2 (1915) - first laid down in December 1914.

Korpen's definition apparently
a/ 8 or more guns of at least 275mm
b/ 6 or more guns of at least 275mm in case of NUS

Would the 10 x 12" guns on the Arcadia's count, or are they considered a modified Semi-Dreadnaught design? (based on a French 4 x 340mm + 4 x 305mm design)

The Freawines are 6 x 14" guns with 9" secondaries.

Id have to say they count as they are considerd the "Original" in the Nverse

And to think, I consider Vienticinco de Mayo and Islas Malvinas as semi-dreadnoughts myself.
