So... I'm finishing my 1903 reports and news and I need a transport ship design. Let me know what you think of this design
I find it funny we both wound up making transports at the same time :)
I think putting cruise speed = max speed is erroneous.
Esp with coal-fired ships, you're going to have to cycle boilers to remove clinker build up,
and with Triple expansion you're lucky to run on full power for a day.
here you have 22 days of steaming at max speed- not going to happen.
I'd say put cruise speed at something that uses a smaller % of maximum shp.
BC at 0.759 is more freighter like, but ok.
67t on deck for 6 9-ton 37-ft steam pinnaces.... rule in Design rules is 2x tonnage. So 6x9 =54 x 2 = 108t needed.
I'd trim a couple feet off the length so she fits in T1 ways,
I'd make her more beamy and less drafty, allowing her to go into more waters and harbors.
As for Dreadnaught, hmm, she's a big'un.

The Bouncer makes me thing a bit of my RG-1 class. Main differences being that my design is smaller, 10 years older, the engines are 15 years older but of a more 'modern' type, is 83cm less deep and has an armored hull and deck against small arms fire. Sure the RG-1's seaboat rating is about 47% of Bouncer's but it is more than enough for where it is operating.
With the Battle-class Fishing Trawler, no doubt that 3" guns is used for fishing as well. :)
I figured that the simple reciprocating engines would be easier to maintain on colonial stations. And also that Britain's colonial ports wouldn't be rivers like China's gunboats are built for, but are designed as short-range harbor patrol vessels.

Absolutely! How else would you expect the fishing vessels to kill Moby Dick????

I think triple expansion might be okay as well for colonial stations.

Harbor, not open seas and oceans. I would think that between 1.00 and 1.10 could be more than enough for such a vessel.
QuoteAbsolutely! How else would you expect the fishing vessels to kill Moby Dick?
With Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, I have killed numerous Moby Dick-like whales... and there was no need for any guns. Just a bunch of harpoons. :)

I'll change it and see what I get. Will probably try to improve seakeeping too. Trying to keep it under 200t.

Marlborough, United Kingdom Battleship laid down 1903 (Engine 1905)
Armour:
- Belts: Width (max) Length (avg) Height (avg)
Main: 13.0" / 330 mm 260.00 ft / 79.25 m 16.00 ft / 4.88 m
Main belt does not fully cover magazines and engineering spaces
I'd see about fixing this...

*facepalm*
I spent the last 10 minutes before I posted it fixing that and then altering something else and going back to fixing it. Sometimes I really hate that function....
