The strange thing is that the new batch of Battlecruisers around have even LESS armor than most of my NS designs! :o

I still think the Night Fighting Tech should be at least reworded. Starshells, I think should come before nightscopes, and a starting level tech introduced as the 1908 looks somewhat advanced.

my decks are lighter I will agree but they are heavier than historical, and my belts, upper, and ends are heavier.  In this era Plunging Fire isnt an issue (realy wasnt even in WW1 well unless you were British) I intend to build my Makensens (they realy were the first Fast BBs ) as the strong arm of the fleet (I realy should start laying them down LOL)

Oh I wasn't talking about your designs (which have even more armor than my BBs!) but about the current rash of battlecruisers and especially heavy cruisers with <7" belts. Some of the designs floating around make Interceptor (4" belt) look balanced, and Constellation (7" belt) look like a battleship!

No need for credit as such, but if building what amounts to clones, some in-character comment about why would be fun. :)

Orientation: This ship Encyclopaedia is a reference document to show what the fleet have or is building.

Strong suggestion: Keep it that way, and do not put design studies and future plans here among the in-service ships. It is confusing and makes it hard to keep track as what is actually in existence, and what is just plans and ideas. 
We have after all ship discussion forums for showing of or debating designs. Until you have decided on a design and laid it down, keep it out of the encyclopaedia.

The Navy section has been cleaned up and updated. Should be accurate for all ships DD size and up.
