1922: Engine year 1925
1927: Engine year 1930

BB/AC Architecture
1880 Dated: Main guns in twin turrets, secondaries in casemate
1890 Baseline (0): Mixed main armament or AQY with double turrets+casemates
1904 Advanced (+1): All-big-gun ship with wing turrets, improved turret hydraulics,
Torpedo Bulkheads
1906 Cutting Edge (+3): Superfiring turrets, all centerline, triple turrets - T3x340 jan 1915
1911: Improved protection schemes (e.g. AoN), quad turrets, turreted secondaries (double time)
[Secondaries are 4-7" guns. 8-10" medium-caliber guns are not secondaries, but medium-caliber main guns

Aircraft/Seaplane Carriers
1910: experimental aviation ships; automatically granted upon completion of the 1910 Aircraft (1914 models) tech.
1915: floatplanes; flying-off decks for wheeled aircraft
1918: gunpowder catapults for floatplanes; separate landing and taking-off decks for wheeled aircraft
1922: hydraulic catapults; full length decks for wheeled aircraft; arrestor wires
1926: armored box carrier


Light Cruiser Architecture
1880 Baseline(0): guns in single mounts or casemates, on side/centerline
1900 Advanced(+1): ammunition hoists, deck torpedo armament, superfiring mounts
1910 Cutting Edge (+5): twin gun mounts
1920: turrets and barbettes

Twin gun mounts requires hoists, and they are power operated. Their armor is limited to splinter protection - 1".
Battleship Architecture is not valid for guns 6.5" and smaller. To have armored turrets with small guns, this technology is required.

Destroyer and TB architecture
1880 Baseline (0): single TTs - max 4, displacement 500t
1904 Advanced (+1):double TTs - max 8, displacement 750t
1908 Cutting Edge (+3): triple TTs - max 12, displacement 1000t,
1912: max displacement 1500t, 1918: quad TTs, 2000t
1918: quad TTs, 2000t

The delicate DD engines need additional research. Also Torpedoes  and reloads must be accounted for in the misc. weight in the SpringSharps.
Every ship that is built with a composite strength less than 1.00 - light fast combatant especially - is considered a destroyer.

Armor technology
1880 Cast Iron -20%
1890 Compound -10%
1900 Krupp Cemented 0
1915 All Imp. KC types +10%

Torpedo Technologies
1890 Primitive (-2) : 800m@26kts range, 50kg warhead (-1 dam.), compressed air 0.5t, 16" dia.
1890 Dated (-1): 1200@26, 400@35, 100kg warhead (+0 dam.), compressed air 0.5t, 16"
1899 Baseline (0):3000@26, 1500@30, 100kg warhead(+0 dam.), early wet heater 1t, 18"
1905 Advanced (+1): 5000@26, 2200@35, 100kg warhead, imp. wet heater, 1t, 18"
1908 Cutting Edge (+3): 7000@26, 3000@35, 100kg warhead, imp. wet heater, 1t, 21"
1913: (+5) 15000@26, 10000@30,7000@35, 200kg warhead (+1), 2t, 21"

1918: (+8) 20000@26, 15000@30, 10000@35, 300kg warhead (+2) 3t weight, 24"

These are max capabilities. If there's a historical torpedo with less weight and lower performance, you can use that.

Electric Torpedo Proplusion
1905: 2000@20/1000@30, +0 damage, 2t
1914 3000@20/1500@30, +1 damage, 2t
1925 4000@25/2500@35, +1 damage, 2t
1935 5000@30/3500@35 +1 damage, 2t

Motorization
($0.5 and 0.25 BP per level of Motorization)
Baseline is granted automaticaly upon possession of both of the below:
1900 Advanced (+1): Land and airship engines up to 200HP, 50HP aeroplane engines
1895 Baseline (0) Line Infantry 4/2 or Special 4/1 Corps 1900 Baseline - 0; Experimental: A few cars and trucks have been bought by your army to see what they can do; everything else follows from this.1910 Advanced +1; Support Units: Several army support functions, but not all, such as HQ, logistics, artillery, etc have been equipped with trucks. This is the level that Nazi's Germany's infantry units were at during most of WW2; the Wehrmacht had more horses, mules and donkeys than the Kaisers army.
1920 Cutting edge +3); Uniform Support Motorization: Basically everything other than leg infantry now rolls to battle. This would be the level of the US infantry in WW2.
1930 Futuristic +5; Whole Motorization: The leg infantry now have wheels also.

Light Armor
(allows a lower level attachment (regiment or brigade or whatever your armies equivalent is) or independent formation that costs $2 per level plus a flat 1 BP)
1905 Advanced +1; Experimental Armored Cars: Someone in your army decided to slap a machine gun and some sheet steel onto one of those cars or trucks to see what it can do. This tech requires experimental motorization.
1910 Cutting edge +3; Armored Car Unit: A few units have been given armored cars; mostly for use in scouting.
1915 Futuristic +5; Basic Tankette: The need for better cross country mobility has led to use of tracks; 5 to 15 tons and no more than machine guns or light cannon. Reliability of the Tankette can be an issue. Still in numbers these can break trench lines.
1920 Way out +7; Improved Tankette: Faster and improved reliability of the Tankette; still a support unit and not a formation onto itself.

Heavy Armour
(allows a lower level attachment (regiment or brigade or whatever your armies equivalent is) or independent formation that costs $4 per level plus a flat 4 BP)
Requires Experimental Armored Cars or Motorized Support Units

1910 Advanced +1; Experimental Tank: Someone has decided that those armored cars or perhaps an artillery prime mover show the way to even larger mechanical monsters. The result is a tank like the British Mark I "Mother", French St Chamond or German AV7; and just like there real world contemporary would be highly unreliable mechanically. Requires Experimental Armored Cars or Motorized Support Units
1915 Cutting edge +3; Basic Tanks: Can now build fairly reliable tanks in numbers and have the tactics to make use of them. This allows the production of something like the British Mark IV/V or German A7V/U (a mark IV clone).
1925 Futuristic +5; Improved Tanks: Much better mechanical reliability and designs; use of turrets instead of hull mounts, smaller crews, etc.
1935 Way Out +7; PzIII
