Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

The Whale series of Fleet Supply Vessels is intended for service at very distant ports. The vessels are to be high speed (cruise at 35% of full power) to allow rapid redeployment and will meet distant vessels at predetermined times.

Cruise speed at 33% of Full power : 16.466kts
Cruise speed at 29.72% of full power : 16knts
Cruise speed at 33% of Coal fired power only : 13.55 knts

Coal fuel is also carried as that may be the only fuel at distant ports.

The vessels are also to be a test bed for large scale electric drive installations

The Parthians have not built out the harbor defenses in territorial areas,
first focusing on basic maintenance infrastructure, so a wounded ship does not have to sail 8000nm to get repaired.

Further, they hope to use their fleet train to set up in non-developed
bays and anchorages for temporary bases.

A net-tending vessel - primarily to provide portable ASW/anti-torpedo netting for anchorages, but also equipped for a small floatplane group to provide local reconnaisance.

Air Group
The stern ramps down, intended to allow floatplanes to advance onto a wire mesh mat and then be winched up the fantail.

The gunpowder catapults fire directly over the bow.
The vessel also carries only small group of on-board planes.

Usually 2 Floatplane fighters and 4 Floatplane scouts
These are both an experiment to support scouting, and to have something to vector to try to keep enemy reconnaissance at bay

Fleet Anchorage Torpedo Nets
Anchorage Torpedo nets are carried, these are double weight Bullivant nets, 50kg per square meters. Small 50kg electro-contact mines are studded into each 10x10m section, or +1kt/sq. meter. These are remotely armed and disarmed via electrical pulses.

Each 10m x 10m section is 5050kg = 11,110lbs = 4.96 naval tons.
To carry that the float must displace as much or more in seawater volume.
1 cu meter of seawater weighs 1,024 kg....so 5 cu meters would > the net
110m...which.....ah lets call the floats 0.6tons, so it's 10m for 5.6tons.

For this case, they want to be able to deploy them in panels 20m deep.

So 3.0km is 300 x 20m sections or 3360t

Overall, this allows 3.0km of netting, which should mean the vessel can secure and anchorage and landing area.  If kept to the shallows the netting should extend to the bottom. Otherwise they can be placed close to ships so that there is no room for a sub to sneak under, rise and fire.

"Sea Frog"

Light Tender with a shallow draft.

The largest vessels expected to need such support would be the 750ton Subs or Torpedo boats, or a squadron of MTBs.
8  x 750 tons (sub/dd) = 6000 tons = 2 frigates or 1 protected cruiser
16 x 500 tons (subs) = 8000 tons = 1 cruiser
800t for 8000t fleet support is fitted, allowing a single cruiser to be serviced if necessary.

Conceptually this is the "Fleet Support", while barges/light vessels would bring fuel (hand waved) or parts and stores to the tender.

This would support a swarm of MTBs, or subs,  or a pair of frigates or even most Parthian cruisers.

The stern is sloped to be slightly awash, to allow aircraft or MTBs to be winched on board.  A roller path and winch allows them to be brought into the hanger / maintenance bay area.

A lightly built hanger structure fills the aft deck, arched for lighter construction, and so wind
will not push the vessel sideways.

The hanger is 5m tall, spanning from 1.4m to 6.4m.

2% of Normal = Aux
Armanent : 2624 * 0.02 = 52.48 vs. 45 carried.
Casements on the ships side at weather deck level preserve the interior space.
batteries of 4 light guns bear on either beam, with the hopes of defense against
a maurading solo gunboat or coastal DD.

A pair of 57mm AA is mounted on each side, again aimed at warding off light air attack.

GAST 15mm are mounted for both strafing defense and boarders.

The ultimate defense is few vessels have a 3m draft, and the tender will scuttle somewhere else.

   Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
   Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather



Intended to be difficult for opposing submarine or air patrols to damage or sink.

Designed to Cruise at 16 knots, which means a submarine that is not dead ahead will have difficulties intercepting, being forced to run on the surface at maximum speed for a prolonged period. This will only be doable in calm seas and will make them potentially visible.

This requires 7600 SHP.
Optimally, they would like this to be 1/3 of the SHP, which would put the ship at over 21.3kts, which is more 'expensive' than they want.

However, turbines are quite forgiving of long use at good power, so they put the desired cruise as less than 2/3rds power, so 18 knots.
There is a desire to be able to sprint faster than the most modern subs, so 19 knots is chosen.

Draft is kept less than 7.5m  to allow use in more areas.
