No problem.

Do we have formal guidelines/rules for simming sailing rig?

What Snip posted is what I've used for Parthia, the Inca etc., and I believe cleared through him pregame.
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

Should we just make it "official" then and add it to our rules?

Probably falls under Ship Design Guidelines if you'd be so kind.

Apparently I forgot the construction of eight 500 t submarines in 1911 and 1912, so I'll calculate the over-due maintenance and toss it into the 2/14 report when the time comes.

When I migrated from the old turnsheet to the new, I didn't allocate some Land Units, so I just paid the catchup this past turn.

I reckon it's time to send some of those twenty+ year-old, 22 knot torpedo-boats to the breaker.

Parthia built several hundred steam torpedo boats- our 60 tonners.
While obsolete for warfare, and I'm building 50-60 MTBs/HY to replace them,
I'm wondering if they are obsolete for commerce interdiction. If I put 200 of them in Sumatra/Borneo,
that's a huge amount of mosquitos to swat.

I'd concede that might have some effect.

I will do it too - (125t & 140t -21kts)

Certainly a good choice in an archipelago

I'm kinda looking forward to designing aircraft carriers again.  It's good to have some variety like that.

Oh yes, some civilian mail aircraft carriers would be nice, or even a casino aircraft carrier.

Thanks to the Chinese I think we can add theme-park aircraft carriers to that list.

I suppose since I'm scrapping a bunch of old protected cruisers I could set one aside for trials refits, but I did that last time.
