Now I just have to figure out how to afford it. I'll have the Tech by 2HY/1913 at the earliest, 1HY1914 at the latest, so that's not the problem, it's that 5-5.5BP/HY problem. Anybody have extra BP, a type 2 dock/slip, and an interest in $$?
I'd reckon it's 4.258 BP per half-year if evenly spread over the life of construction.
I'll consult my spreadsheet tonight to see what GC's BP situation looks like, but am not optimistic that I could dig up that much. Finding a slip to build on wouldn't be a problem, though.
Nice BB, Well balanced
How many HY to built this Ship?
Actualy in my Board program, I have a 170m slipway at Callao free from 1914H1 to 1916H2 - 6xHY in all.

Thirty-one months: five half-years and a month.

22 months+9months=31 months=5 HY
He could take more time...
6HY or 7HY & built regulary a BB.
With 8HY, He could built other warships in parallel.

Niiiiiiice. I'd try to identify the OTL counterpart, but I've spend so much time looking at and thinking about Cross Mirage that she's the only thing that comes to mind with that layout.
She does remind me a bit of HMS Canada.
Here's the full view w/ the hull and full depth of the belts.

Any more guesses on the origin of the idea/basis for the layout? Here's a hint: She would have been built on the Atlantic seaboard in the 1910's.
That's realy a nice BB
Jef ;)
Slightly updated SS Report w/ the belt extended 2' fore and aft to extend slightly beyond the "A" and "Y" turrets. Also the TDS is a little shorter, without lowering the "Torpedo hits to sink" value. I increase the amount of oil fuel as well to 40% from 10%. For those of you wondering why I went back to partial coal firing the answer is simple, I only get oil from 1 country, and that country wasn't terribly happy w/ The Southern Cross Alliance. (At least the former player wasn't, don't know what the new guy will think.)

Partial use of coal is reasonable but bear in mind that you're now allied to another nation with growing petroleum exports...
You could also try building a native coal liquification industry, as I've done.
I Like the BB Nice design.
Hmmm... I will have to go read that thread on Oil because unless It gets found in Libya - Italian North Africa/Tunisia much sooner then in real life I am surely out of luck.... Wonders if Romania sells cheap and if I can get ships their now with the war going on.....
Ahoj!
Libyan oil - I'm afraid the tech to get it out of the ground is 1950s like.
I produce some 7M barrels a year.
Borys
Got to thinking that the Tripods made her look too modern, so here's how she'll look at completion. Decided that a 3rd boiler room was needed due to the size of coal-fired boiler back then. Eventually she'll get a refit someday (Like in the 1920s) and get all oil-fired and newer smaller boilers which will eliminate that aft boiler room and the 3rd funnel. Anyway, I present UNS Trituradora.

Ahoj!
There is a wiff of HSM Canada about the two funnel design.
Rhe third funnel makes it more like the SMS Koenig.
Borys
And while those are both attractive ships in my mind, they both have a raised forecastle and the casemates are deck level. Trituradora has no raised forecastle and the casemates are in hullmounts.
Clue #2: Think the other side of the Atlantic.
I ''ll made a hard welcome to this powerful & nice battleship at anchorage Camino del Yeso if, however, during its long shakedown cruise, he comes up to Autofagasta.
Jef ;)
Why most certainly. Once she gets built and starts sea trials (around March 1917), if no ones shooting at me I'll be happy to pay port calls.
Another redo. I think (hope) this is my last brainstorm on this one. The original was supposed to be a USS New York clone, this one is supposed to look like SMS König.

I was just pursuing a red herring that she looked like Lexington :)
Nice ship.
As I have 22K tones Bs myself, it was interesting to look at what trade offs you made.
My ships are 2 knots faster, a bit better armoured, and slightly better fire platforms.
Your ship has a bigger punch (two MG more), and probably has the intangible benefits of superfiring.
But there is not much to divide the two.
Borys
OK this is the final, final version. I was thinking about how SS thinks of decks and turrets and decided to drop the forecastle and go w/ this. Now I have NO IDEA if she looks like anything else. Comments please.

I lied, sorry. I just can't stop tweaking her. I lengthened the main belt a few feet and added 1" to it at the expense of .5" of deck armor. I also lengthened the end belt slightly, so here's the version to be built as of 1030 hrs EST on July 6th, 2008. ;)

With that layout, observers in Navalism!Earth are going to be absolutely convinced that Cross Mirage is just an inflated Trituradora clone.
Which thought amuses me a good deal. ^_^
For Tri herself, I think she's an excellent design, sturdy, practical, and well-balanced. Not, perhaps, what I'd call 'perfect', but every point I might differ on is essentially a matter of taste and practice; that is, for a naval doctrine which assumes relatively short shooting ranges and that the compartmentalization issues brought on by torpedo tubes are worth it, she's perfect. Even for those who don't, she's an excellent return on her cost.
Well balanced BB & nice drawing.
Jef ;)

The KKK would be glad to have it.
But it also shows the penalty of superfiring - the Juan de Austria class, otherwise identical, has 1,50 seakeeping.

True, but as range, even w/ FC is still only in the 10-12kyd area I'll trade 2 343mm for the extra 2 152mm, 8 extra 102mm, the 8" upper belt, and the longer main belt. ;)
Which is better?

BigGun gives the 12"/L45 12.28" of penetration @ 10kyd, while the 13.5"/L40 only gets 12.12" @ same range.

& your belt is only 12" ...!

If the penetration is essentially similar, whatever's on the inside is going to get trashed regardless of shell size. I'd go with the more numerous 12" guns, then.
Ahoj!
I think my Juan de Austria is better than either.
The 5x2x13,5" version is IMO better, as long as it fights not at parallel lines, but at angles, as to increase relative Main Belt thickness.
I'd cut End Belts down to 4", and use the gained weight either on Turret Faces (13") , or on a 4"-5" Upper Belt, some 7'.
Borys
Increased main belt, turret face and barbette thickness, and added an upper belt and a TDS. Lowered end belt thickness and of course added weight.

It's starting to look pretty similar to Triunfante at that point. Which is not a bad thing...

Yeah..I already adjusted my building plan...this one's getting built.
Very nice BB well balanced.
Pleasant to make exercise with her.
