Iberia (third time's the charm)

[Darman]

Given the need to catch up I'm strictly using olekit's old designs for everything prior to 1907. but I wanted to add a couple older designs as additional ships to be constructed. Mostly merchant type vessels. 


Here is one for a military-subsidized trawler (gun is kept in storage)

3" gun is purchased with vessel but not mounted.  Kept in storage for future potential use.  Pinnaces are included with vessel (serve as extra life boats) but extra personnel not assigned until mobilized. 

152t total cost (593-5= 588t.  588/4=147.  147+5=152t)

I think I did the calculation for the tonnage of vessels supported.  Seems high.  Only going to build one of these if this is so.

Edit: changed wording to reflect that the purpose of the vessel is resupply of naval vessels overseas. 

[Darman]

Could this possibly count as "fleet support" overseas?  (If so then each one contains 35t misc equipment so could support 350t shipping). I'm still building a few anyways with an eye to modifying them later.

35t misc weight for various winches, bumpers, flotation devices, and other paraphernalia required by tugboats. 
Given speed is 13kts, but the actual max and cruising speed is 10kts, with a range much lower as well.  I figured that a tugboat needed to have an overpowered engine.

[Kaiser Kirk]

5t above deck for boat equipment
19t on deck for 2x 6-ton 21-ft pinnaces

=24
/2 = 12 per 6 ton... good.

So - harbor type auxiliaries, tugs, net tenders, transports, etc are flavor. You can build them if you want, but you are presumed to have them...the transports being strictly tied to deployment points.

Minelayers/sweepers/coast guard/subchasers/armed patrol ships - those are regular naval units you need to specify.

[Kaiser Kirk]

I think I did the calculation for the tonnage of vessels supported.  Seems high.  Only going to build one of these if this is so. 

....

Misc. Weight:
1,710t for tenderage of attached vessels to the amount of 17,100 of shipping. 

edit: added cost estimate of light tonnage/4
3,405/4=851.25 rounded up= 852t

For every 100t of Misc weight allocated to Resupply, 1000t of military ship can be supported.

Yep 1t misc weight supports 10t military.
Though technically it should be specified as Resupply not tenderage.

Ahh Iberia, or as some know it , Sweden 8p

[Kaiser Kirk]

Could this possibly count as "fleet support" overseas?  (If so then each one contains 35t misc equipment so could support 350t shipping). I'm still building a few anyways with an eye to modifying them later. 

No, the tonnage has to be dedicated to "Resupply" or something else obviously close.
While generally I will not demand increments of 100t, but translate that as a simple 1:10 ratio,
I would not let 10 of these jointly support a 3500 ton cruiser.  Maybe 17 x 200ton subs..

Well, I discovered that now I have Admin ability there's a modify post button...right next to quote.

First - unless you're paying tonnage in 1900 for a refit, the engines and laydown date need to agree.

Anyhow, for mercantile, you simply divide the light tonnage by 4, you don't have to add the gun back on top.

I think this vessel would find steaming at 68% of max power on compound engines will not work for 10,000nm.  They just aren't that reliable at high revolutions. 

Then there's the draft. Once you're over 9.5 to 10m, you're in that problematic realm...for example I don't believe Suez in 1910 could pass a 10m draft. I'd have to hunt that down though. Overall, that ship will be a bit limited in harbors.

So this to me gets in the realm of ''how do I account for this"
Ultimately, what matters for troop transport is your deployment points. Most of those will be accounted for by standard freighters.
So I suppose I would factor this in by letting it be a limited use reinforcement vessel, or messenger vessel.
I could envision this being the 'high end' of a random encounter if you were engaged in a naval campaign and someone's raider was hunting the supply lines.

I wanted to build a few older vessels that could be modified into crappy escort vessels in the future.

be modified into crappy escort vessels in the future.

What an aspiration !

Interesting that Iberia would go slower with the next set of BBs.
..and revert to all coal firing.
IF you want to use electric motors, they will be taken into account in battle, particularly vs. Torpedoes.
BUT... Electric Drives: Take an additional 25% of engine weight in misc weight and provides a 15% bonus to range plus improved compartmentalization (effects number of torpedo hits to sink)
