Norse Ships

[Walter]

I have no problems with your specifying what your support vessels look like. I will caution that by my understanding of the rules, which was supplemented by my asking direct questions and resulted in the "Fleet Support tonnage" rule, that you don't need to pay for the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy", etc - you just have them :)

Hmmm... Can't seem to find anything like that in the rules. The cosest that I can find would be the "Out-of-Port Resupply" but that has to do with support in the form of resupplying ships and what those resupply ships can support overseas...

Still, those vessels are there to diversify the Norse navy. It should be noted that the majority (~65%) of BPs spent on those "civilian ships that occasionally support the navy" are the Passenger ships which, being used to transport troops in time of war, would actually fall under the Norse "Deployment Points" and not under the navy. The reason that I did are:

a) Olympic class.
b) Extra troop transport space making things slightly more comfortable for the "Deployment Points" troops than the unsimmed baseline transport ships.
c) Olympic class.
d) Increase number of ships to sim for the Norse Navy to make it look more impressive.
e) Olympic class.
f) Increase number of hulls to make the Norse Navy look more impressive.
g) Olympic class.
h) Greater variety of ships for the Norse Navy.
i) Olympic class.

:)

That said, it is lovely assortment.  Had I more free time it would spur me to mimic you a bit. As it is, I took advantage of several unbooked weekends to rush out my sims and now I just wander on past every so often.

If you know what you want, it takes very little time to sim it especially if you work using existing ships as baseline. With those "civilian ships that occasionally support the navy", there is no need to worry about guns and armor and shell weights and how much the armor covers with such ships. I think most time I spent on looking what I want and a nice photo to add to it should the vessel be an existing one. Still all in all, I think I spent more time simming the Ishinagenjo carrier over at Wesworld and tweaking it over and over and over again. Looking at the date of the first sim and the final sim, it took me about 7 months (including the time to put a picture of it together).

... having thought about it a bit, if I don't need to pay for the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy" I probably should remove them from the list and just use them for storyline stuff only (and it will help making the startup a little bit less chaotic when it comes to juggling around the H1/10 tonnages for all the ships). It won't change anything when it comes to the setup but tonnages spent on the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy" will probably be used for other ships with any leftovers being spent on ships under construction.

Fine-tuned the Norse designs a bit and added some missing features here and there. With my initial figures, I had not taken any refits into account for the older ships for the addition of radio equipment around 1900 (which seems a proper thing to do) and decided to add FC and radar as well with refits. So in the end, more BPs were needed and I ended up removing the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy" from the list.

[Walter]

Did things slightly different for the Destroyers (because of how limited SS is). I split the original 10 ton for climate control in two so now there is 5 tons for additional damage control and pumps and 5 tons for climate control. Also only the F-class and G-class are fitted with long range wireless and fire control as it was not considered worth it to fit them on the older and smaller DDs.

With the removal of the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy", etc. stuff from my construction list for the tonnages needed to increase the size of the various ships slightly for the forgotten miscellaneous weights stuff, I have some leftovers even after shifting a few of the H2/09 ships to H1/09 so I decided to add one more Selkirk to the list and add one more design which I had originally planned for 1909 but then pushed back to 1911... and now back to 1909... I thought it was mandatory for me to have a turret farm sooner or later (which now turns to be sooner) since HMS Agincourt was built by Armstrong Whitworth in Newcastle upon Tyne (which here is Norse).
