Logi's Design Studies

[P3D]

You might want to reconsider the 24kts battleline speed, but up to you.

Put the 6"s into the casemates (deck level), forget the 5"s and have the 4"s raised (on sides not centerline). Increase upper belt height to cover casemates. Might limit upper belt length to 300'.

Increase main belt thickness to 12"-13" and height to 12-13' (to 5-6' depth below WL)
Might increase deck to 2.5".

Do not use bulges - such would suggest a tumblehome configuration.
The TDS should have the same length as the main belt.
Cut the range to 6000@12, coal takes up a lot of space.

Try to get the ship into 550-557'x90'x28-29'.

[P3D]

You don't have the quad turret tech. So you need 4 turrets with at least one superfiring - otherwise there's not much space left for deck mounts.
Increasing the draft will save you a few hundred tons.

It's a bit strange that the 4"s are in casemates and the 6"s are deck mounts.
The end belts are an interesting option, but it could be classified as an RRC trademark (i.e. all the hull is armored against small-caliber gunfire).

Upper belt, as it is (above configuration), does not really protect anything vital (like casemated guns with 2" armor). You could decrease it to 3".

[Logi]

I will have the quad turrets tech very soon. I will finish the guns long before the ship itself is completed.

Other points noted.

[P3D]

You can start researching quad turret tech 1915H2 (triple turret tech done 1914H2).
Finish it in 1917.
Or get the Quad Turret tech from someone Orange and done it in a year.
Then spend 2 years to develop the gun turret.
Lay down ship after it is all done - 1918-19.

[Logi]

I'm getting the tech for some one and expect to finish 1916/H1, so I would finish the turrent design in 1917/H2

If I started building the ship in 1916/H1, I would finish it 1918/H2

Pushing it backwards to 1917/H1 (laid down), I would finish it 1919/H2 (well after the turret was built)

[P3D]

You need to have the quad turret (not only the tech!) developed BEFORE you lay down the ship.

You still cannot build the ship until you have the quad 13" turrets developed, check construction rules.

[Korpen]

Machinery:
   Coal fired boilers, steam turbines,
   Direct drive, 2 shafts, 18,326 shp / 13,671 Kw = 32.00 kts
   Range 900nm at 12.00 kts
   Bunker at max displacement = 51 tons (100% coal)
     Caution: Delicate, lightweight machinery

Nice speed, but it needs at least three times as long range to be usable as anything but a decoration in port.

Will work on that design sometime later.
