Its a basically a Floating Drydock/Tender/Little Warship

It's supposed to operate in Battle Groups. The idea here is that it can be a flagship of a fleet and repair ships that are sinking during battle. For ex: If a ship is sinking froming losing a battle, this ship (with its battle group) can rush in to salvage it. There it can be repaired or scrapped. Oviously, the acutal ship doesn't have to be so large, but this was a design for large battleships (under 32,500 tons and around 650 ft long; 1,500 tons for repair materials then) it can be overlimited to under 34,000 tons and around 650~700 ft long but can't do anything to stored ship but transport it).

1,000 is naturally distributed to a ship cover (so as to protect the ship's insides/dock)

Cant do it man, well not at 26 knots anyway on the 1912 ngines your limited to 20k hp per shaft (or 80kshp on a 4 shaft ship)

[The Rock Doctor]

Even if it were legal, the seakeeping is appalling on account of the high speed and low freeboard.

@Tan
I always forget to keep that... I'll fix it soon.

Even if it were legal, the seakeeping is appalling on account of the high speed and low freeboard.

Here, freeboard improved (slightly)

This ship is to travel with a battleship/battlecruiser to scout targets. Scouting out the targets allows battleships and battlecruisers to pinpoint enemy locations and fire with a greater accuracy. The ship is built fast so in the event of a defeat, it can escape speedily.

I'd consider this unreasonably forward-thinking for a major naval power; more so for a modest and somewhat tech-challenged nation like RRC.

Starting the same way that came about historically - a few planes on a converted civilian ship - seems much more reasonable.  Probably more cost effective, too - 40 scouting planes would be overkill.

There are some recommended guidelines for designing carriers in SS - we'll be using those guidelines here, so I'll have to post them for those without reference to them.

would these be the Wesworld Guidelines? I ask because the Italian Carrier was setup using them, and I intended to use them for finishing the conversion of that tuna class half carrier I have atm.

[P3D]

The two Chinas have the most aeronautical experience of Nverse. The civil war also helped a lot. However, a carrier so early is anything but feasible.  Why build a cruiser to launch 40 fragile, short-ranged aircraft, when they are not really good at anything else?

[Logi]

I see, I'll create an alternate version. It won't really be a carrier but will be built with the purpose of lanuching scout planes in mind.

You would be better served at this point in History building a "BC" that can be rebuilt as a carrier at a later date think along the lines of the british Glorious Class
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glorious_class_aircraft_carrier
it would be serviceable at the moment (if only Marginaly) and could be converted at a later date

somthing along these lines would actualy proly work (its just a fast and dirty so if it has rules issues sorry just an example)
