Petr Kalm Exploration Vessel

The Baltic Geographic Society is proposing to mount an expedition to Antarctica, and has raised funds to build a custom ship for the job.

The Pehr Kalm, named for a seventeenth century explorer, is a stout, three-masted vessel with a coal engine and single screw.  The hull is constructed from extremely think oak planks up to 600 mm thick (represented by the armor belts).  The hull's also strengthened to survive ice pressure and (theoretically, since I'm not sure how I'd sim it) with a curved bottom that will allow her to ride up over ice.  Considerable cargo space will allow for a large quantity of supplies to be embarked for her small crew of around 20-30.

Obviously I'm borrowing heavily from the historical Fram here.

I'm proposing to build her to civilian standards given the lack of actual armor, armament, or modern machinery.

Royal Yacht Cztery Korony

It's got legs to get from Klaipeda to Stockholm or Copenhagen (330-350 nm) at full speed, with plenty of oil to spare.  Cast-off at 4 PM, have dinner aboard, cruise overnight, you're in Stockholm before lunch the next day.

With that limited draft, she can dock in a lot of places, and probably move up and down some of the major rivers a fair distance.

She's got a nice suite for the royals, though they might think of this as "roughing it", and there's probably a good-sized dining room and sitting room for receiving a small number of guests aboard.

There's space for a limited entourage, some tending to the Royals in the latters' official duties and others providing care-giving functions in down-time.  I assume people like drivers (and the cars for that matter) are sourced locally in whatever Union place the yacht is visiting.  I'm also assuming a security complement are drawn from amongst the ship's official complement listing, since there's just two peashooter saluting guns to man.

The belt runs the length of the ship and is to protect against seasonal ice or accidents.  It's not intended to keep projectiles out because it will likely never leave Union waters.  It does mean the ship is built to military specs, but that should probably be true of any ship lugging one's head of state about.

Royal Yacht Stanislaw I

As speculated a few years back, the royal family would like a new and improved ocean-going yacht for service outside the Baltic.

The ship makes use of diesel engines and geared drive for an effective cruising range at good speed; she could steam from Amsterdam to Nieupoort in 8.5 days at 20 knots, as an example.

There are four guns for saluting, and six machine gun installations for security purposes.  The conning tower represents a "safe room" for VIPs.

The yacht has extensive living, entertaining, and working space for the royal family and retinue.  There is also a multi-level and fairly palatial set of accommodations for a second VIP - such as the Prime Minister or a foreign dignitary and retinue - that can be isolated for security purposes if required.  Ten staterooms for other guests are also included.

Notionally the ship could be converted to a hospital ship in times of war but I've not worked up the distribution of miscellaneous weight in that scenario.

Contrary to earlier statements, I'd build this to mercantile standards, not milspec.

Karaiby Class Yacht

The governor of the Union's Caribbean territories has noted that he resides on an island, governs other islands, and also rules over a large chunk of mainland.  Since air travel is still pretty iffy, he'd like a yacht.  Please.

If you're thinking, "That sure looks like Rocky's coastal escort", then, yeah, guilty as charged.  From the in-game perspective, it's a hull the Union is already producing in numbers and a civilian conversion of the type is easier than designing something new.  From the out-of-game perspective, I was having a hell of a time making anything work and remembered that the coastal escort was about the right size for what I was looking for.

The yacht ships diesels rather than oil-fired machinery.  The armament's completely replaced by modest furnishings for the governor, a guest, and a handful of aides, plus a bit of working space.  Some electric lighting and safety barriers to improve the exterior recreational experience.  It isn't palatial, but it means the guy can work while traveling.  The hull itself is seaworthy for the Caribbean, though hurricanes are still best avoided.

The ship will be built to civilian standards, and the governor of the Azorez is highly interested in one of his own.

Jednosc Class Tall Ship

And here we have a tall ship for sail-training, which is of course a valuable skill in 1932, and for the pleasure of the queen, which is also somewhat relevant.  Much of the design and the graphics borrow closely from the German Gorch Fock.

It's full rigging, which makes for a maximum speed of just under 11 knots.  A small diesel-electric drive provides considerable cruising range if everybody gets tired of working the rigging or sea conditions are too iffy.

The ship does not carry a long-range wireless or anything beyond navigational lighting, and is armed solely with a pair of QF guns that are mainly in place for saluting purposes.  I suppose I could design for but not equip with a few machine guns for port security purposes.

As far as I can tell, I've complied with our guidelines for full rigging, but feel free to check me on that.  There's lots of hull strength to fix up incorrect miscellaneous weights if need be.

Given that I went to the trouble of sketching this thing, it's a given that I'll lay her down.
