... and with the Olympic sim, I think I have finally run out of sims to post...

[Walter]

The various shipping yards of the Norse Kingdom...

Originally I was going to use the same approach to the yards like I did with China with all docks (like Kirk will be doing with Parthia) as they are a lot more useful than slips. But then you cannot really use photos of ships being built on slips so I decided to use some slips as well this time.

Harland & Wolff Heavy Industries, Belfast, Ireland (*)
- Slip 270 m
- Slip 270 m
- Dock 270 m
- Dock 150 m
- Dock 120 m
- Slip 90 m

Workman, Clark and Company, Belfast, Ireland
- Dock 120 m
- Slip 90 m
- Slip 90 m

William Beardmore and Company, Dalmuir, Scotland
- Dock 150 m
- Slip 90 m
- Slip 90 m

John Brown and Company, Clydebank, Scotland
- Dock 220 m
- Dock 120 m
- Slip 90 m
- Dock 90 m

Stephens & Sons, Dundee, Scotland

Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company, Limited, Govan, Scotland
- Slip 220 m
- Dock 120 m
- Slip 90 m
- Dock 90 m

Rosyth Dockyard, Rosyth, Scotland
- Slip 180 m
- Dock 150 m
- Dock 90 m

Armstrong Whitworth, Edinburgh, Scotland (**)
- Slip 180 m
- Dock 120 m
- Dock 90 m

Bergens Mekaniske Verksted, Bergen, Norway
- Dock 180 m
- Dock 120 m
- Dock 90 m

A/S Framnæs mek Værksted, Sandefjord,  Norway
- Dock 150 m
- Dock 120 m
- Dock 90 m

Moss Verft, Moss, Norway
- Dock 180 m
- Slip 120 m
- Dock 90 m

Haugesund Mekaniske Verksted, Haugesund, Norway
- Dock 180 m
- Slip 120 m
- Dock 90 m

Kaldnes Mekaniske Verksted, Tønsberg, Norway
- Slip 150 m
- Slip 120 m
- Dock 90 m

Polyarny Severnaya Verf, New Novgorod, Novgorod (***)
- Slip 150 m
- Dock 120 m
- Dock 90 m



(*) While it would be pretty much the same like the OTL company, in Navalism the firm was created by two guys who happened to be called Harland and Wolff (since the actual Harland is Roman and the actual Wolff is Swedish).
(**) OTL it is in Newcastle which would put it right on the border with them crazy Romans to the south... so I relocated it.
(***) New Novgorod is roughly where OTL Murmansk is located.

The ship numbers and costs and the slips/docks costs....

[Jefgte]

Interresting.
I suppose that civilian ships are over the budget.

[Walter]

Not sure what you mean with civilian ships being over the budget...

I do not think it is necessary to include civilian ships and I would think that the Norse Kingdom has a bunch more than the ones posted above. It is just that the ones above are also used to support the Navy one way or another (whether it is to bring a pilot aboard to safely maneuver a battleship into a treacherous port or moving personnel from a shipbuilding yard from the front gate to the slip where they need to work on a battleship or extra space to transport troops or something else) while the others are not (or fall under the costs of the Deployment Points).

Also with the ability to spend 20 points on 200 BP extra for the Navy for a total of 680 BP, it allows me to make it divers with the various different types of ships, both military, auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy. There is still 0.0192375 BP left and I have not determined yet which vessel will get that little bit of leftovers. I am also not sure to leave things as they are or to shift the tugs and pilot boats so those duties will become part of the duties of the Norse Coast Guard. The lighthouse tenders probably should be shifted to the Coast Guard as well as I see the lighthouse duties as being part of the Norse Coast Guard's duties and the lighthouse vessels are listed under Coast Guard.

Yeh, Baseline is 480BP for ships & shipyards.
200BP are for Super Norse Navy !!!

Well...

... There is a lot of water between Iceland and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between Ireland and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between Scotland and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between Norway/Novgorod and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between Svalbard and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between... uhm... *looks at Navalism text file* ... Olaf Sveinsson Land and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...

... so basically what I am saying is that there is a lot of water between all the parts of the Kingdom so I thought that that would require the extra 200 BPs to protect those waters. Calculating things yesterday, I noticed that I had about 4 times the number of ships compared to China and over 10 times the total displacement compared to China.

...There is a lot of water between Norse and Byzance

A Norse Squadron is welcome to call in Marmara see.

When I wander past, I have enjoyed the sheer variety that you put forth. 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 :)

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.
