[Walter]

4 tons is 4471 liters of Vodka. With 1 liter per day for each crewmember, you would have enough for about 7 days if the ship has a crew of 635 men.

Looking at it now, maybe I should have added some miscellaneous tonnage on my ships for Buddhist purposes...

[The Rock Doctor]

It's probably reasonable for work in the Black Sea, but for extended cruises...

[Walter]

That is assuming that they drink 1 liter per day. Looking at the Tsesarevich, it has 5 tons so it looks like they drink more than 1 liter per day. They'll probably last for only 5 days. :)

BTW, I expect to see some minarets in your Ottoman battleships, Rocky. ;D

(modified for increased vodka reserves)

[Guinness]

The Vodka storage is extra, on top of what alcohol reserves would normally be shipped by other nations.

[Walter]

Oh, I thought that all the weight of the stores in " Fuel, ammunition & stores" was dedicated to Caviar so there was no place for Vodka and thus required miscellaneous weights. :)

[The Rock Doctor]

That is assuming that they drink 1 liter per day. Looking at the Tsesarevich, it has 5 tons so it looks like they drink more than 1 liter per day. They'll probably last for only 5 days. :)

BTW, I expect to see some minarets in your Ottoman battleships, Rocky. ;D

That'd be in "Hull, fittings, and equipment", methinks.

[Guinness]

For the Black Sea fleet, 2nd class battleships (or are they armored cruisers?), the Peresvet class. I had to figure out a way to get the Russian 10"/45 on a ship. ;-) Future iterations on this them will likely have the 24cm/45.

Why did you SS old 1885 ships ?

Pre start fleet is from 1890 to 1899.

Donkskoi or Nakhimov "ll be better with SS in 1892 or 1895

He chose to do this.

[Guinness]

They are going to be scrap come 1901 or so anyway, and they were a fun warm up.

IMO, this is a mess of BP and naval power.
