Logi's Design Studies

[maddox]

1 tripple turret (probably the one aft) 1 twin ( A turret) and 1 single one superfiring.

Talking about waste of space, materials and ability.  But she would look mighty.

[Borys]

Superheavy shells, like those of the USN, are yet to be included ruleswise in the sim. IMO. Appropriate weight for a 14" at this period would be 1400 lbs, as all OTL users had shells of that weight.
The exception was the Russian gun, but it apparently had some issues, and the British used it with a lighter shell - 1586lbs.

[P3D]

And the Russians had used "superheavy" 12" shells too, without much of a problem. I also read some Russians disagree with the RN evaluation of the gun (well, what would you expect both of them).

The main problem with the US superheavy shells was that they had a minuscule bursting charge. And actually there's nothing really that would make heavy shells unsuitable. There is a historical precedent, and nothing says that others could not have got it right.

@Maddox
I just noticed I didn't raise all the guns in my designs :( Here's the fixed one.
The arrangement is the ordinary two front, one back. The turrets are twins, however.

Get a higher bow.

26 kts will get you anywere almost as fast. Range is excessive for your purpose. Your main enemy is  pressing at your land borders. And the only reason for a longer range , would be an assault on the NS, and that's something your RRC leaders ain't planning if I follow the messages I see everywere. If you don't want to diminish fuel weight, increase cruise speed.

20% overweight 14" shells????  Those bitches are almost as heavy as the Nverse French 15" shells.
And those are 8% over the SS applied weight.
Overweight shells are good for long range gunnery, assisted by good FC. 
Otherwise you would like underweight shells for a fast, flat trajectory.

Disagree, trying to go for some largely irrelevant seaboat number is not worth scarifying combat or operational capability for.

Due to the lenght of the guns, there should be an "on ends only fire"  warning :)
At about 27ft lenght, the breeches stick out some 9ft from where they're trunioned. On a 33ft wide hull loading them for a broadside must be exiting. Especially of the raised mounts ...

Apart from the ridiculous calibre of Main Guns, quite nice ship.

[maddox]

One of the most strange ships I've seen passing by.  But I wouldn't call her Turd.
I envision a kind of Virginia with a very high superstructure.

But to make it a possible cannidate for a RRC ship, I would have added underwater torpedo tubes.

And, what is this ships role in the RRC fleet?

Her main guns size give her a good anti cruiser battery, unfortunatly, that makes them a bit slow in all respects against other DD's or TB's.
And to go up against AC/BC's or BB's, she buttered toast, with as much survival chances as a Pinguin on an Orca convention. With guns whoofully inadequate to deal with them.

But I'm surprised that a 1000 tons hull (I would suggest shaving off a few tons, I feel  the 6 tons is passing the commonly aknowledged leeway in designs) can carry 4 of those big guns (165mm 6.5" is a known caliber in the MK navy -hint  ;)) and not getting a ends on fire only warning, like Borys writes.

But, why not having a look at the M class UK submarines of the era.  If you want big guns on small ships, those are the ticket.

[Logi]

Stabilty = 1.32
Recoil = 0.70

Kinda makes me proud :)

But sure, maddox I'll look into that.

Using the carrier rules, this is a 1st edition battlecarrier. Like typical battlecarrier, flightdeck is halved, located aft of the ship. Since the ship was built as a battlecarrier it is expected the problems that plagued the OTL Japan BCs will not occur. The number of planes that the ship can carry was halved to reflect battlecarrier state.

Can carry 30 airplanes.

Why Bother building a carrier to haul 30 airplanes that cant hurt a damn thing, cant comunicate with ships, and have very limited Range.  You may not belive it logi but Planes in this Era are almost USELESS as Naval Assets.
