I like the design in broad terms, but:
-You oughta have three or four shafts for a ship of that size.
-How're you determining the height and length of your upper belt?
Changing it to 4 shafts doesn't change the SS, so no problem there.
As to the upper belt the height is determined by the distance from the weather deck to the top of the main belt. Since the weather deck is 7.5m and the top of the main belt is 2.5m above the waterline that leaves 5m between the two. As to length it's supposed to be the same length as from the end of the forecastle to the start of the quarterdeck, which in this case is actually only 71m, so I'll have to revise that. I must not have changed it from the last design. Math on that is as follows:
Waterline length 203m, forecastle is 25% or 50.75m. Mid break is at 60% or 121.8m. Subtract 50.75m from 121.8m = 71.05m which is the length of the 'citadel' area excluding the aft turrets. I suppose the extra 26m could be considered to cover the 2.5m from the main belt to the weather deck on the quarterdeck area as that is 30m long, so there would be 4m at the aft end w/o upper belt. Since that's too far aft I could say it's shifted so it's hanging over the main belt forward and aft, probably 13m each way.
Once I've done the drawing I'll adjust the upper belt to fit the picture.

An excellent, and very dangerous, combatant. She'd annihilate most of my fleet with ease, and could outmaneuver Cross Mirage with no trouble.
I'm hoping a torpedo swarm will do her in as my battlecruisers haven't been laid down yet :-\
Very nice ship overall. A bit on the heavy side (tonnage) though.
Then you don't want to see whats being laid down in Japan for me.
Her armor is at least 25% better than the closest French ship, Occitanie. Her speed is equaly better. But her broadside is a lot lighter.
I don't want to meet her one on one in a slugfest. Maybe that a modernised DeCreme will keep her ground, even slower than this DKB ship
Undergunned ...

IDK, I consider it an act of good faith to post a ship before you start construction on it, and as Walter will have to declare the size of ships under construction atleast everyone will have a fairly good idea what it looks like when he posts his H218 report. Ofcourse if you dont want more experianced eyes to look at it and tell you the mistakes you made, well thats your decision. If I had to speculate though Texas would be around 36K tons, 8-10X13.5-15" Proly around a 12" belt 3" deck and hits 26+ knots. Course I could be compleatly wrong to...

Just a note Texan, might be wise to start getting the light tonnage to end in 500s or thousands. It saves a lot of bean-counting.
uhm why not post it in your own (aka the CSA) ship thread... and all posts in this forum are OOC...
Threadjacking aside, not bad if not a little large for a nation that's known for economy BBs. You're last one was 30k, this is 42k..that's a hell of a jump in tonnage? How did you convince Congress to do this?

Well, I'm not the one building it. And this is not made known to Congress. They think the frigates were scrapped. The next local battleships will be about 36,000 tons, mounting double turrets with 16.5'' guns.

not to nitpick, but you have one major issue having it compleated by 1922. Turrets take 1HY per tube to develop, so unless Japan has a tripple 15" mount (and IDK if they do or not) but you have to have the mount developed before you can build the ship. As such H219 would be the soonest to start construction on it.
Crud... I started it in 1917 H2.... so I can start in H1 1919. Or I can try to buy hooper's UNK turret...
So she'd be in service in 2/23.
Quote from: TexanCowboy on November 08, 2009, 03:56:59 PM
Turret aquired from the UNK. Problem solved.
er...
A UNK Foreign ministry spokesperson denies any deal between the UNK and CSA regarding naval weaponry. A CSA representative has approached the UNK for a Twin 15" turret design (<OOC>which would then have to be R&Ded for 1 year to integrate</OOC>), but at this stage no deal has been struck.
The UNK Government is unhappy with the current actions of the CSA government, including the enforcment of its stance on Black Rights, trades of weaponry to foreign powers and trades offered to us that where thought to be in "poor taste" from a supposed ally.
NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING
Yes that means stop jacking my thread and get your own >:(
Decided that the armor was overkill for now, so trimmed the weight back. The decided that a mass of 13cm guns is better than some 15cm and some 8.8cm. Now boast 15 13cm guns to a side. Figure rate of fire is 4-5 rpm or 60-75 shells per minute. Should be satisfactory against most TB/DDs. And yes Borys, she's undergunned by KKK standards. :D
