UNK Ships for 1913-1915 (catchup)

[The Rock Doctor]

Very nice.  One minor glitch with the machine gun layout, though.

[P3D]

6 - 15.00" / 381 mm guns (2x3 guns), 1,800.00lbs / 816.47kg shells, 1914 Model
     Breech loading guns in turrets (on barbettes)
     on centreline ends, evenly spread
      2 - 15.00" / 381 mm guns (1x2 guns), 1,800.00lbs / 816.47kg shells, 1914 Model
     Breech loading guns in a turret (on a barbette)
     on centreline forward, all raised guns - superfiring

...

   - Gun armour:   Face (max)   Other gunhouse (avg)   Barbette/hoist (max)
   Main:   13.0" / 330 mm   8.00" / 203 mm      12.0" / 305 mm
   2nd:   2.00" / 51 mm   1.00" / 25 mm      1.00" / 25 mm

This means that you put the secondary armor on the twin main gun turret (splinter protection 2"/1"/1") and the secondaries are not protected at all - might do a revision.
I'd increase draft to get the tonnage for a 9th gun (and the armor).

End belt won't keep out 8-10" shells, and even some 6" AP is borderline.
The same thickness UB is IMHO even less justified - no casemates to protect.

Whoops... I'll fix that gaff and repost.
Thanks P3D.
