Title: Durban Naval Competitions 1920
Post by: Nobody on November 12, 2010, 09:09:06 AM
   Information sent to all known governments and newspapers worldwide, end of October 1919
To celebrate the commissioning of the newest vessel in the Orange Navy and the end of the war in the Rift Sea, the Orange Republic decided to invite all known naval powers to a friendly competition of military might in January 1920.

The event was inspired by the second Caldera Cup, which was hold in Italy earlier this year. The organizers felt that the aeroplane and it's capabilities are overrated: Can they travel from one continent to another? Can they transport thousands of people, or thousands of tons on freight? Can they show a country flag far away from home? No, they can't. But the Navies of the world can and do. It is time for them to show their skills outside the battlefield. That's why they are the ones that should compete with and learn from each other.


Organizational details:
Participating ships will start in one of three classes. The winner in each class will be decided through a series of challenges, which will have individual awards as well. The tree classes are:

Admiral, we dispatched Luisant to refuel the Leopard 8 and 9 en route to the games in the Orange Republic.
But why ain't we sending one of the Demarce IV's before they get transfered? Or Montmedie?

Luietenant, I don't object people asking questions, but questioning orders ain't the best thing you can do.
1) The Demarce IV's are sold,
2) Montmedy will be the flagship for the fast reaction force together with Napoleon the Great. And those 2 are under way to escort Voltaire from the undisclosed Orange Republic port to her final destination. Aphrodite will join those ships as a Green Cross charter.

In other words, we have not 1 competitor for the large ship class, but 2. On paper Montmedie is the faster, but Napoleon is smaller and has a better tactical radius and she can get up to speed faster. Oh, 2 Demarce IIIb are with the big ladies.
The IIIb's are slower than most cruisers of the other countries, but our ships are worked up, blooded in combat and with superiour seakeeping and steadiness.

In other words, the fact it's not common knowledge won't mean Glorious France has forgotten her grandeur and commitments.

Would it be an inconvience to add a "light cruiser", for the smaller ships floating about with 5.5'' and 6'' guns, division? Also, a Misc. division, for moniters and carriers and blimp carriers and whatever else people are planning to send would be nice...

Well I have to draw the line somewhere, and "cruisers" would have been a way too inconsistent category (I don't want to compare 6"-gunned 4000 t coast patrol ships to 20000 t 10"-gunned nearly battlecruisers).
I did think about the misc category though. But lets see how much work this proves to be. Maybe someone volunteers to "dice out" an unofficial race between the accompanying support ships?

OOC, without a washington treaty, what is the difference between small; light , protected, armored or heavy cruisers. Let be Fleet protection cruisers, convoying cruisers and so on.

IC

France hopes the trials and tests invented by the Orange Republic will reflect the capacities of the ships in classes as the Orange Republic sees fit.

OOC: Good point Mario. I get to use cool names like große and klein for my cruisers, but for the "English" speaking world, why should we use Light, Heavy, Protected, Armoured? Why not make our own names?

The Ottomans will attempt to expedite the construction of the Torpedo Boat MK-10 (http://www.navalism.org/index.php?topic=5092.msg61945#msg61945), under construction since June 1919 at Jeddah. This race will serve as a shakedown for that boat and her crew, but it's likely that armament may not yet have been delivered and installed. Hopes are high, but most of the engineers aren't all that optimistic...

Papers in all sizes, shapes and colors are spread over every surface of the spacious room. Those are calculations, drafts, recommendations, advisor expertises, entry formulas and complains from local citizen.

"And, what did the postman bring today, Charles?" "Not much Will. The Admiralty just wants to know how the preparations are going." "I see, how many entries did we get so far anyway?" "10 counties showed interest in the competitions so far, but only 7 confirmed their participation so far. The Netherlands and New Switzerland did not answer our request to send in the correct papers, and China - the middle Kingdom that is -  informed us that they were to busy to come." "Maybe they lost interest? I'm not sure this is official but the Netherlands are actively involved in the war in China, and the Swiss... well they just lost theirs." "True, true. But how do we answer?" "Well, why not send them our currently planned schedule?" "Good idea, guess that will have to do."

January 13th.  The sun high in the sky is blistering Admiral Geon's unprotected head on the port bridge wing of the Large Battleship Montmedie, what was classed as a battlecruiser by the Orange Republics referies. 
Diplomacy overcame pride, and the ruling was accepted, albeit with reluctance.

The echo of the start signal dies out and the smokestacks of the massed large ships start belching black smoke, an impressive sight, especialy the coal and mixed fired ships give a good shot to create a smogbank without any peer.

Napoleon the Great, after her rebuild shows het mettle. Almost taking the lead, but then the older hullshape starts robbing the power for speed to make higher waves. In the end Montmedies raw power makes the point moot. Only the training Light Cruiser Gorch Fock ended with a lower top speed than the after all,  reclassed to Battlecruiser Napoleon the Great.


After the race, the Admirals Quarters on Montmedie. Admiral Geon has called a conference with the captains and chief engineers of his small fleet.


Messieurs, We got handed our asses here.  Napoleon the Great shouldn't have ended second to last.  And Montmedie shouldn't have been in this race.

Admiral. The race was set up so we couldn't win. A short distance race. Nappie is an old 20 kts battleship rebuild to achieve 27 kts, not a purpose build racehorse. The ships larger and heavier than her have more modern hullshapes specific to the high speeds, and with worse shiphandling capabilities. In heavier weather or in a longer run nappie would have demonstated her capacity. Montmedie ain't even a question why she ended so low in the ranking. 40 000 tons of battleship does need some time to get up to speed. With a more realistic run, we could have achieved an enduring 28 kts+. Something most of our fellow racers can dream about. 

Thank you , it sums up the issues in 1 short explanation. But how will we show the world that the Marine Nationale ain't a push over?

In 15 hours the DD's are to race. We all know the Leopards are, on paper, the fastest ships afloat. With years of tweaking. Those ain't brand new engines, but known, and reliable turbines. We could try the idea of overpressurising. Recalibrating the overpressure relief valves, preheating the fuel and some other small , but significant tricks.

It isn't a realistic test, in what case does a captain and his crew of a DD have time to prepare his ship for a high speed dash?


True Admiral. But it's an option to try, ain't it? One of our Leopards makes the run on 100% capacity. The other Leopard does the run with every trick the crew can imagine.

Isn't a bad idea. But limit the overpressure to 10%, we don't want any blown turbines or worse, boilers.

   Durban Harbor, Sunday January 11th
The opening ceremony was a spectacular event. It began with the crew of the Cabora Bassa marching in their finest uniforms from their quarters through the city and the harbor onto their new ship, to be mustered on deck.
   After that, ships from all over the world, which had made it in time for the festival were greeted. Some of which had even prepared own performances to impress the crowds. In the afternoon the Orange Army and Air Force showed a "little" parade as well. They showed their near prize-winning Junkers ground-attack-plane, light armored cars and the new motorized support units.
   Throughout the day many navy ships and buildings were open to visitors and the final decisions from the racing committee were announced: To allow all visitors to watch the race without missing the critical moments, a specially prepared two mile long beach had been selected. The event would also be observed from a Zeppelin and reports been relayed via "electronic megaphones" to all spectators. It was also announced that French battleship Montmedie was moved to the battlecruiser category due to her 4.5 to 6 knot speed advantage over the other participants, and the cadet cruiser Gorch Fock was given special permission this race as well.


   Monday January 12th
Even before the first official race between the battleships, the captains of a few accompanying ships decided to held their own race and were joined by the liner Indic and the scientific research vessel Aurora. The resulting race turned out to be not as boring as one might think:

The cadet cruiser Gorch Fock managed the best start and her diesel electric drive allowed her to make full use of the installed power. The ocean liner Indic, however proved to be to big for such a race and was quickly falling behind. Meanwhile the five other ships were head to head, their bows separated by less than a 100 meters. 30 seconds into the race the slow starting IMS Taranto managed to get by the French cruiser Fako and was now in third place. Gaining speed at an admirable the Italian ship overtook the Aurora after 44 and the so far leading Gorch Fock after 65 seconds. The small Aurora already near her top speed was then quickly overtaken by all the other cruisers as well and the only question was whether she could keep her lead over the much bigger Ocean Liner which was picking up speed at a slow but steady pace.
   After three and a half minute a "battle" between the French Fako and the German Gorch Fock which had lasted nearly half a kilometer ended and settled the final ranking.

Placing   Ship   Time [sec]         Speed Ranking   Ship   Speed [kn]
1   IMS Taranto   270.5         1   IMS Taranto   33.26
2   Fako   308.1         2   Fako   29.36

   Monday January 12th, afternoon
The first official naval race in the history of Nverse began with some delays. Not only had the inspection of the Kaiser Barbarossa taken longer than expected, but it also took some time to start the race without pre-starts.
   Finally the Dreadnoughts were underway. The Orange Benguela Bay and Kaap Delgado with their fast reacting turbo-electric-drive-system managed the best starts and quickly pulled away from the 4 other ships while the Columbian Antonio Jose de Sucre already started to fall behind.
   In the middle SMS Kaiser Barbarossa and Mayta Capac were racing bow to bow just behind the Kaap Agulhas. It took the German smoke belching battle-wagon nearly 2 minutes to pull ahead of the South-American contestant and after 3 minutes it became obvious that she was faster than the third Orange entry. However, it took the good looking German ship 6 minutes before it could overtake the Kaap Agulhas. By this time her speed had also been matched by the Mayta Capac and was only saved from being overtaken again, by the end of the race.

The official results:

Place   Ship   Time [sec]         Rank   Ship   Speed [kn]
1   Benguela Bay   382,3         1   Benguela Bay   24,36
2   Kaap Delgado   387,6         2   Kaap Delgado   24,03
3   SMS Kaiser Barbarossa   462,9         3   SMS Kaiser Barbarossa   22,74

   Tuesday January 13th
The battlecruiser race starts with a surprise as only the Arktur and cadet ship Gorch Fock manage to start without much delay, while all other ships seem to take their time and didn't move much for the first ten seconds at all. The reason might have been the immediate disqualification for false starting, introduced after the trouble with repositioning the ships the day before.
   While the Arktur seem to have a lead at first the Gorch Fock proved that her diesel-electric drive, which offered full power over the full speed range, was much more dynamic and got the leading position after just 15 seconds. Shortly after that the Betelgeuze left the group of of the five other contestants behind and started to chase after the two leading ships.
   That group was first lead by Napoleon the Great but was overtaken by SMS Moltke after 35 and Alecto after 40 seconds. SMS Moltke on the other hand couldn't keep her forth overall place either and was caught by Alecto after ~50 seconds as well.
   For the next three and a half minute the crowed watched as the De Ruyter slowly closed the gap to Napoleon the Great and than passed by at minute 4.5. At the same time the Orange Battlecruisers had catched up to the German cadet ship, and slipped ahead of it less than a quarter mile (Arktur) and a few seconds (Betelgeuze) before the finish line.
   


Place   Shipname   Time [sec]         Rank   Ship   Speed [kn]
1   Arktur   319.5         1   Alecto   30

   Wednesday January 14th
The high number of vessels in the destroyer and torpedoboat class made it necessary to split the contestants in two groups: light destroyers and torpedoboats under 1000 tons and heavy destroyers over 1000 tons. There also seemed to have been problems with some of the ships. It was said that the referees decided to put extra weights with a total mass of 293 tons on five of the ships.
   The seven light ships raced first. Less than two minutes into the race it became obvious that one of the export torpedo-boats entered by a private yard was limping behind. Rumors say that its crew had gone overboard while rising the boiler pressure and blown some pipes. Anyway, from the starting line the Gran Columbian TB-75 Johi took the lead. Ahead of the Orange Korvette 66, chased and soon overtaken by the Ottoman MK-1. After a minute Johi had fallen back to forth place behind MK-1, Orange Export #25 and #22, but still ahead of K-66, the now struggling OE-24 and its sister-ship, the TB-70 Jatibonico.
   90 seconds into the race all ship were near they maximum speed, and started to switch places accordingly. And the Result was the following:

Place   Ship   Time [sec]         Rank   Ship   Speed [kn]
1   19TB1 OE-25   238,6         1   19TB1 OE-25   34,09
2   MK-1   248,1         2   MK-1   31,81
3   19TB1 OE-22   262,8         3   19TB1 OE-22   30,19

Tuesday january 13, almost midnight.  Leopard 8 is brightly lit, ship and harbor cranes are unloading supplies.
A spigot is spewing clear water in the waters.
The crew is making last minute adjustments to about anything they can.

Leopard 9 on the other hand is quiet. Just the normal watch is seen.

This difference draws in the attention of the Referees.

First the guards won't allow the referees to enter the quay around the ship, and this delay is used well to get the captain and Exec up to speed.

Messieurs, welcome to our Petite Guy, why this late night visit?
It was brought to our attention that the activity here seems to be focussed on changing the ships weight, so it can do the race in a non regulated condition.

the captain smiles ,and a chuckle escapes the exec's troath

Actualy sirs, all this activity is to make sure Ma Belle is in regulation condition before starting the race.

Oh, how do you explain the fact that your plimsoll mark is riding 40 cm higher than your sisterships?

But sirs, Néne Noir is only a halfsister ship. And as you can see, most of our supplies are on the quay, ready to be reloaded after the spring cleaning. We're here in high summer, so I wanted to make use of that fact.
Is there anything in the Durban naval competitions rules not allowing a clean ship?
( one of the more understanding sailors on the bridge gets word out to repaint the plimsoll mark 20cm/8" lower than it is now)

No, no, that is true, but alas, you can see our concern. If your ship can't be reloaded in time, you'll have to forfait.
But, you said NéNe Noir is a halfsister of this ship. I didn't have any ship on the list with that name. If you're talking about Leopard 9, she looks exactly the same. What would the differences be? Both are build, and rebuild according to the French plans.

Ah, mon ami Arbitre, you see,my Petite Guy, Small Willhelmina, is build in the Feyenoord shipyards, nearby Rotterdam, the Netherlands.  You know the Dutch, they'll do anything for that tenth of a knot faster. So, they took the French plans, and substituted the normal strength steel girders and plates, and substituted those for high strength steel, but thinner, so the specified strength was achieved. That in itself achieved 75 tons less of weight. The engines, the same story.

The Maorians on the other hand, want strength and resilience in their ships. So, poor Néne Noir ended up with thicker hull plating, heavier rivetting and a tad less engine power.
If you want a Leopard that is build according the French plans without any deviation, you'll have to look at one of the UNK build ships. Alas, those ain't here.


I see, Still, if Leopard 8 isn't loaded before 7 am, I'll have her balasted untill she is loaded according the specifications.


8 hours later

Captain, your ship isn't loaded as I specified. The plimsoll mark shows that she should, the whole ship is leaning forward. Just standing on the quay, you can see the bow is overloaded.  And no, reshuffling supplies won't do, as that would get the bow riding higher. I expected this. You'll have to take enough ballast to get the ship riding the water as she should. 3 of my men will see to it.  This calibrated inclinometer will show when the ballasting operation is ready. I took the messurment myself, on the same spot on Leopard 9.  Failing to coörperate will void your participation. And, complaints will result in more drastic meassures. I suggest you start right away.

Mes oui Arbitre. Right away.




Tons of led ingots are passed in human converybelts, and the stern is setting.

In the mean time, the 3 assistent referees are cuddled, probed, a few mediocre attempts to bribery are shrugged off.

Finaly, the inclinometer shows that Leopard 8, Little Wilhelmina is level with her "uprepared" sistership.

But....

   Destroyers, part II
This category had the potential to become the most exciting one. Not only because there were 17 ships in it, making it the largest group, but also because of the differences between the individual contestants, ranging from the 1130 ton French Petite Guy to the 1999 ton oceangoing Orange Raider Z-1.
   It was a ship from the self proclaimed Orange archenemy, Italy, the DDL-03 which first took the lead, but the French Leopard 8 'Petite Guy' emerged from a group of ships closely behind and overtook the Italian lead-ship after 55 seconds. At the other end of the scale the huge - for a destroyer at least - Orange Z-1, which clearly had not been build for speed or such races, had already fallen behind after a mere 20 seconds when the Brandenburger T-155 pulled away from her.
   There was a lot happening in the early race, two much to even notice between so many ships. And it wasn't until 90 seconds into the race when all, but the Orange Z-1, were near their top speed that the field began to disperse. Ships were still fighting for places though, and when the official results were sorted out and finally published the next day, some captains were in for a surprise.

P.S.:
I strongly advice to take a look at the pictures - they are quite interesting. All of them. And besides, that's why I made them.
