So you want a GBB? I can do! A 14" belt with a 1.5" Decapping plate; a 4" Deck with a 2" Weather Deck. The belt and upper belt are inclined at 20 degrees.

Takes 6 years to build ;)

Hmm, seems to be an thread-jacking to a contest.
Here is an version similar to the original ship, but reworked some.

380mm Main belt is external, with the TDS raising behind it in a 50mm armored bulkhead to contain any partial penetrations or spalling.  (expressed by adding 6m to TDS height. )

Shallow liquid-loaded external bulges allow standoff distance and possible venting outside of hull. These also allow for the ships considerable range with out compromising internal volumes. . Internal subdivisions ensure any rupture will only compromise part of the fuel supply, while the use of fuel instead of a void prevents sudden off-center lists from outboard flooding.

A 125mm main deck provides immunity at all known and reasonably foreseeable battle ranges.

Alternate armoring schemes included a 50mm Upperbelt to carry to a 25mm weather deck, making a region immune to 'nuisance' hits by HE and current aircraft bombs.

That's nice - very nice  ;D

The 2700lb 420mm - are getting into Super Heavy projectile territory?

How do you sim bunkerage in bulges?

[Kaiser Kirk]

Actually, with the 420mm it's probably just "heavy", but thats what Maddox had.
I copied his 420s, 140s and 37s, invented some 100mm.

You can't specifically sim the fuel in the bulges per say as there's no tab in SS for it.  It's more storyline specification. In real life, they did often store fuel in bulges and double bottoms.  Here, SS basically treats them as a larger hull without expanding the armor deck to cover the extra beam.  Your engine grows, and your fuel consumption rises, but your overall hull volume increases as well. As a practical matter they are more vulnerable to shorts and HE rounds, but I like shallow ones for the standoff and seam rupture protection.

In this case, simply deleting the bulges increases fuel % from 15.5 to 16.2, while hull space changes from 74.4 to 79.4, so there is an effect on available internal volume that fits the description.

[Borys]

The 2700 lbs for 16,5" is HEAVY, as the RN was looking at 2550lbs for their post war 16,5 gun.
But shell weights betwen navies varied - early 16" from 2050 lbs (HMS Nelson), through 2100 lbs (USN), 2200 lbs (IJN) to 2450lbs (British designed for Russian navy).

I decided to go with 2500lbs for 16,5/40, and to go up to 2700-3000 lbs with a 45 calibre weapon.
Borys

[maddox]

I normaly work with Springsharp nominal weight+ 10% rounded to a nice number.

The 15" shell of 1910 is 820 kg. From there the premisse for 1.5 times that.  I got the 450mm gun as a result of taking a Springsharp gun that comes close to the French heavy shell, and stick with that.

[Tanthalas]

I went with 1951 lbs (the weight of the Italian 15.50) for Rohans 15.5/45 when I build the 15.5/50 I will use 2325 lbs (the average of the Italian 15/50 and the US 16/50)  while neither may be the heaviest shell of their era I felt it was the best way to get weights for them.  (Note I considerd using the weights of the british 15/45 and the US 16/45 but as the Italians had the only 15/50 I decided against it)

[Borys]

Ahoj!
Tanthalas - maybe for drawing averages we should refrain from using the 2700lbs, and stick to what the 1920 USN 16/50 used - 2100 lbs or 2240lbs ... the 2700 lbs is an oddball which probably merits its own tech ...

Rats, for some reason when I looked at your ship, I saw 420mm guns.

Still, on the weight bit, I roughly consider +0-20% as "heavy" and 20-40% as "super heavy", hence my answer.  Since these worked out at just 20% they fell in my "heavy" category, and so seemed somewhat reasonable for the period.

Of course it may have helped things if I realized Maddox was using 450mm not 420...

Oh well it was a fun little exercise.

[Borys]

Kaiser, in your quote of Maddox's ship I see 42cm guns with 1230kg shells ... I think you must have caught some earlier version, as the displacements do not match either ...
Borys

[Logi]

I've been using 30% on my gun shell weights; not quite the 40% of the USN superheavy but not light either. Therefore I don't think its all that big a jump to go to 40% from 30%.

[Kaiser Kirk]

Kaiser, in your quote of Maddox's ship I see 42cm guns with 1230kg shells ... I think you must have caught some earlier version, as the displacements do not match either ...

The "quoted" area for Republique is actually my offering, using the quote to visually separate it from the text.

If the build times don't make the ship obsolete befroe it hits the water, there is a maximum size.
