Better to have a separate thread for the new navy like Jeff and Darman are doing instead of posting it all in one thread that might end up looking quite disorganized...
First one is the oldest (I think) 'operational' vessel planned for the Norse Navy. Not going to be useful but just there for fun. :)
As the vessel is circular (and will have its issues), the diameter is 101 feet so a 101 feet main belt is not going to give proper protection so that is where the 58 feet ends belt is for (as SS3 freaks out if I go over 101 feet with the main belt). The bottom 8 feet of the ends belt is the extension of the 9" main belt and thus 9" thick. The top 5 feet of the ends belt is the extension of the 5" upper belt and thus 5" thick. I added the weights that SS gave me for both extensions and got a 7.5" thickness for a belt of 58x13 feet to sim that particular combined weight.
The OTL one had 11" guns, but I do not have that one planned for the Norse Navy so I had to go for either the 305mm guns or the 250mm guns and settled for the latter as the raised guns meant that it was going to be a bigger issue to solve when going for the bigger guns...

... and since I have Belfast, I got to have these for the White North Star Line even if they are not crossing the Atlantic... which, considering what happened OTL, is probably not a bad thing...
No Royal Mail to worry about so no RMS designation is used for the Norse Liners. If I got it right with the Norwegian wiki pages, Steam Ship would be Damp Skip so DS instead of SS. Also Norwegian does not seem to be using the 'c' the way the English do so while I decided to use the names of British ocean liners as they are, a 'c' would either be an 's' or a 'k', depending on the sound (so in case of the Olympic, Titanic and Britannic Nordic, it would be Olympik, Titanik and Nordik).

A slightly more modern vessel than the Monitor, based off the British Topaze class...
NNS Topas, Norse Protected Cruiser laid down 1903
- Armoured deck - single deck:
For and Aft decks: 1.75" / 44 mm
Forecastle: 0.75" / 19 mm Quarter deck: 0.75" / 19 mm
So conceptually, that's a flat 44mm deck with no side armor to keep shells from going over or under it.
I'm guessing the Topaz had a protective deck, with 2"/50mm slopes and a .75"/20mm crown.
Which would likely weigh less as well.
Looking at the wikipedia pic of the PC cross section in MS Paint, you only require about 5% extra beam to cover the extra bit of armor for the protected deck that is needed because it slopes down like that. Another thing is that that image suggests that the center ~40% of the ship's beam is thinner (though that could vary slightly depending on a cruiser's beam).
Assuming for simplicity with my sim that the middle part is half the simmed thickness, that would mean that 40% of 40 feet is 16 feet. Half that means you get 16 feet of 0.875" thick while the remaining 16 feet I will fold in two to 8 feet and add back to the 60% bit. 60% of 40 feet is 24 feet. 16 + 8 + 24 = 48 feet. 48/40 = 1.2 meaning that if it were all horizontal, it would cover an extra 20% of beam while the image told me only 5% extra was needed.
Looking at those results, I really do not see why it is necessary to sim a 12ft high belt of 1" thickness and an additional bit of 2 feet of 1.75" thickness to sim that what the deck armor can also do if you use a bit of imagination.

Simplicity.
If it's right there in the sim, and we know what that piece of armor means, then all that is required is simple addition to find the thickness of the slope.
Further what I'm suggesting is what several of us talked about in N6 - sim the protected deck at whatever thickness, then add a short main belt to indicate the additional slope thickness. In the prior conversation I believe 2.44m was settled on as that is 1 default deck height. For my sims, I'm using 3.66m.
Armour:
- Belts: Width (max) Length (avg) Height (avg)
Main: 2.56" / 65 mm 437.99 ft / 133.50 m 12.01 ft / 3.66 m
- Protected deck- single deck: 0.98" / 25 mm For and Aft decks
Forecastle: 0.98" / 25 mm Quarter deck: 0.00" / 0 mm
Very easily indicates a protected deck that is 25mm on the flat and (25+65) 90mm on the slopes.
Otherwise we'd have to sit down and replicate your math to find out what your decks actually are. The greater the beam of your vessel, the lower the % in slopes.
Now what you don't seem to be addressing is your beam is only the widest part, your vessel tapers, but the angle and distance of the downward slope of the deck should not greatly vary. Which means the proportion of flat middle should decline as you approach the ends of your vessel.
QuoteSimplicity.
To me it is a lot simpler to just enter the deck thickness and be done with it. The calculation I did above shows that it should properly cover it with half thickness on the center flat area.
QuoteVery easily indicates a protected deck that is 25mm on the flat and (25+65) 90mm on the slopes.
Well, the protected deck curves and no longer reaches the sides of your ship that way. I had tested it with a deck 0.75" thick with a 12 ft high 1" thick upper belt
and to complete it all the way to the sides a 2 feet high (which I screwed up as it should have been 1 feet as 5% of 40 feet is 2 feet and I forgot to divide that by 2), 1.75" thick main belt as the curve requires an additional 5% of beam to be covered when it is assumed to be a flat surface. There was only a 0.01 difference (and probably no difference if I had used the correct main belt height of 1 feet) between doing all that complicated stuff and just simming the deck as 1.75" and assume that it is 0.75" in the center and 1.75" on the slopes. 0.01 is not enough to make it worth all the extra effort which could be much better spend on checking the sim to see if there are no errors in it when it comes to the number of guns per mount for example.
QuoteOtherwise we'd have to sit down and replicate your math to find out what your decks actually are.
Why? There is no need to if you assume that the center part of the ship is protected by half the simmed deck thickness and the slopes are the given thickness. Don't make it more difficult than necessary. Just keep it simple.
QuoteThe greater the beam of your vessel, the lower the % in slopes.
The lower the % in slopes just means that there is going to me more 'leftover' armor from the higher % thinner center part that you 'remove' to be 'placed' on the sides so I don't think much will change. The same is probably true for narrower beams as well. Probably enough so for anything down to destroyer beams.
QuoteNow what you don't seem to be addressing is your beam is only the widest part, your vessel tapers, but the angle and distance of the downward slope of the deck should not greatly vary. Which means the proportion of flat middle should decline as you approach the ends of your vessel.
I feel that the extra 20% beam coverage should be enough to cover the ends where the flat area is much smaller. Probably in the same way that you assume that the extra bits of the belt that are not needed at the ends cover the gap between the ends of the protected deck and the sides that would exist because of the curvature of the protected deck.
If you want to keep simming the Protected Cruisers your way, I am not stopping you. To me it is too much hassle without any gains or losses to apply it. It would also make it look a lot like one of my light cruiser designs with that main belt at which point I am thinking "Is it not just better to use that sim as a light cruiser sim instead of a protected cruiser sim?"
Interesting stuff.
Not sure if I should take ending line as "I'm done with this" or not.
However, I do see that I didn't explain a bit very well. So not to offend, but I'll take one more try at explaining.
1) The prior conversation decided on 2.44m as that seems to be a default deck height level. You'll notice I'm using 3.66m on my ships as that is the slant distance at 45deg. While I am using 2.5m/deck when calculating things, a slightly steeper slant would make 3.66 work. Still not 100% accurate, but fairly close.
2) "The greater the beam of your vessel, the lower the % in slopes." is the part I mucked up. The correct version is the lower % in flat.
Take 3 sections, roughly forward, amidships and aft
_ _
/ \
_ _ _ _
/ \
_ _ _
/ \
While the distance occupied by the sloped portion of the deck doesn't change, the flat area does.
As a result, when considering the overall vessel, A greater % is taken by the sloped portions than a simple evaluation of the midships cross-section would show.
Anyhow, you are correct, how to model this is not part of the ruleset or gentlemen rules and so up to the individual player.
I will stick to my original observation that a protected deck is fitted at the waterline and curves under the waterline, while an armored deck is fitted above the waterline, and so the way your design was originally presented, there was a flat deck that shells could easily dive under. That is a simple toggle fix, much like going from single to twin mount...except no comp hull issues.
Quote"The greater the beam of your vessel, the lower the % in slopes." is the part I mucked up. The correct version is the lower % in flat.
Odd... to me you had it right and muck it up with the correction.
QuoteWhile the distance occupied by the sloped portion of the deck doesn't change, the flat area does.
... and this would confirm that the greater the beam of your vessel, the lower the % in slopes and not the flat. After all, the flat area becomes wider and wider the closer you get to the widest part of the ship and the wider it gets, the greater the percentage of the beam of the ship it becomes.
Not sure how it works on real world protected cruisers, but with the way you do it, slopes coverage does not change if you stick to ~12 feet so with a 60 ft wide Parthian Protected Cruiser, the percentage of beam that is part of the slopes is less than the percentage of beam that is part of the slopes of a Parthian Protected Cruiser with a beam of 40 feet.
QuoteI will stick to my original observation that a protected deck is fitted at the waterline and curves under the waterline, while an armored deck is fitted above the waterline, and so the way your design was originally presented, there was a flat deck that shells could easily dive under.
Yes, it should be protected deck. While it makes no difference, it just looks more correct to do so. *makes note to check the deck armor on all ship designs*
QuoteThat is a simple toggle fix, much like going from single to twin mount...except no comp hull issues.
I deliberately mentioned the guns because I know from the experience of making the exact same same error that you suddenly need extra hull strength for those guns and you need to do a lot more tweaking of the design to get it correct again. :)

That is what really bemused me, when I corrected it, I went from 1.00 comp hull to 1.02... I was expecting like 0.96.
*checks SS*
Oh yes. I see that my issue was the same but reversed, where singles were simmed as twins rather than singles.
Having been thinking about it, while a few navies feel that some proper ventilation is needed due to the location of their navy's operational area, I need to tweak my designs a bit to incorporate heating systems on my vessels.
Okay. Did some tweaking here and there. I decided to use Norse mythology for the names of the battleships. Added climate control on the ships (1 ton per 100 tons light displacement) and on the larger ships torpedo nets (1 ton per meter of length (oa)).

QuoteIMO, build one class in 1894, not 1893 & 1894
Baldr is based off HMS Majestic and Njordr is based off HIJMS Fuji and originally I had the Njordr simmed as an 1895 vessel before I pushed her back to historical 1894 (so originally I had 2 years between the two classes). It happened OTL that the first ships of different BB classes were laid down in consecutive years and even in the same year... so why not here as well. :)
Looked for name ideas and in the end decided to apply the names of the various counties to the armored cruisers.

I kinda felt that there should be a stepping stone between the Tyrone design and the Wicklow design (coming after this one) when it comes to speed. While thinking about it and looking at other designs, I saw Kirk's Armored Cruiser Knight which was kinda what I had in mind. As I did not want to make a clone of it, I started to mess around with SS and thought it might be an idea to put a pair of superfiring 155mm turrets on the centerline just for the sake of making it look different (and a bit more unusual). As it is not based on anything, there is no image to accompany this design.

There are some very nice designs here, congratulations!
I'm a bit confused about AC Selkirk. If I'm reading this right the Main Battery layout is AB/Y with "B" turret NOT superfiring. Secondary Battery layout is 2 twin turrets ("C" and "X" positions, both superfiring with "C" turret double superfiring) plus 12 wet casemates. If "B" turret is not superfiring then "C" turret doesn't need to be double-superfiring. Or am I missing something?
Love to see a drawing of her if possible...
QuoteThere are some very nice designs here, congratulations!
Thanks but all credits should go to the original designers and builders of those ships. I just attempted to convert the data of those ships into Springharp (with a few minor tweaks here and there). :)

Good catch. B turret should be superfiring over A turret. *goes back to correct it in springsharp*
QuoteLove to see a drawing of her if possible...
Yes. Guess I should try. Originally I had a single secondary triple turret aft and after a bit of tweaking, I decided to add a second one forward and then for some reason I decided to turn them to twins. I might end up with a drawing where I use triple turrets for them so I might turn back to that again. Depends on what I find when it comes to the weapons. :)
Corrected B turret. While working on the image, I used various bits from Jabba's 1914 HMS Invincible image...but it looked rather squeezed between where I had put the weapons... so I added 35 feet to the ship which opened up the casemate mounts so I added another one in there. Still requires some more details and the MGs as well as shading and probably redo the aft flag a bit but it will give some idea what it would look like.

(*) While not correct as per our rules, it is a historical vessel with its OTL stats. I would assume that Holland (originally from Ireland) would still have built his submarine in our timeline. Decommissioned in 1905 like OTL but unlike OTL hauled onto land and now on display at the entrance to the Harland & Wolff yard (not OTL H&W) in Belfast where she was "originally" (in our timeline) built. So it is more of an "it is there" design rather than something with any combat value (well, it could engage any cars passing by the entrance of the H&W yard) but at the same time it would also be that what would make the Norse start studying the submarine tech in 1900.

And what about troop transports, coilres, oilers, tugs and other auxillary stuff? )
Troop transports fall under Deployment Points and are thus very low priority. I think that at this point of time the various passenger ships would be doing the transporting of the deployment forces (one class being the Olympic class liners).
I still have a bunch of sims to posts: gunboats, mine layers, mine sweepers, oilers, coilers, hospital ships, coast guard cutters and patrol ships, lightships, tenders, icebreakers, exploration vessels, tugs, ammunition ships, stores ships and probably a few more designs but before I do that I need to figure out what to do with them when it comes to names.
There are also a few other unique designs like the Holland submarines that will appear and which will be museum stuff with the oldest being the Ship of the Line Seier (= Victory) from 1759. :)
... actually looking at the list, I am about halfway when it comes to posting the sims of the various designs. ;D

Those were a few designs for the Norse Coast Guard, based on OTL vessels from the US Coast Guard Revenue Cutter Service. Freeboard might be slightly off here and there. The actual rise forward might be a bit more extreme and perhaps I should sim the C design with a slightly lowered center section.
Unless someone has different ideas about it, I have these vessels listed as being built to mercantile standards. To me they are not military vessels but look more like a sailing yacht or a tugboat carrying a gun. They are more to intercept Eastern Barbarians trying to smuggle illegal stuff like opium and Asian porn into the Norse Kingdom than to engage any kind of enemy warships.
Considering the location of the Norse Kingdom, the next few sims are sims of extremely important vessels and also extremely deadly ships when the enemy decides to sink them. Without them and the fixed lighthouses, your vessels are guaranteed to run into the many rocky shores. :)

... and with the Olympic sim, I think I have finally run out of sims to post...
The various shipping yards of the Norse Kingdom...
Originally I was going to use the same approach to the yards like I did with China with all docks (like Kirk will be doing with Parthia) as they are a lot more useful than slips. But then you cannot really use photos of ships being built on slips so I decided to use some slips as well this time.

(*) While it would be pretty much the same like the OTL company, in Navalism the firm was created by two guys who happened to be called Harland and Wolff (since the actual Harland is Roman and the actual Wolff is Swedish).
(**) OTL it is in Newcastle which would put it right on the border with them crazy Romans to the south... so I relocated it.
(***) New Novgorod is roughly where OTL Murmansk is located.
Did a little bit of shuffling which allowed for a few more small designs because of a certain target being achievable...

The ship numbers and costs and the slips/docks costs....
Interresting.
I suppose that civilian ships are over the budget.
Not sure what you mean with civilian ships being over the budget...
I do not think it is necessary to include civilian ships and I would think that the Norse Kingdom has a bunch more than the ones posted above. It is just that the ones above are also used to support the Navy one way or another (whether it is to bring a pilot aboard to safely maneuver a battleship into a treacherous port or moving personnel from a shipbuilding yard from the front gate to the slip where they need to work on a battleship or extra space to transport troops or something else) while the others are not (or fall under the costs of the Deployment Points).
Also with the ability to spend 20 points on 200 BP extra for the Navy for a total of 680 BP, it allows me to make it divers with the various different types of ships, both military, auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy. There is still 0.0192375 BP left and I have not determined yet which vessel will get that little bit of leftovers. I am also not sure to leave things as they are or to shift the tugs and pilot boats so those duties will become part of the duties of the Norse Coast Guard. The lighthouse tenders probably should be shifted to the Coast Guard as well as I see the lighthouse duties as being part of the Norse Coast Guard's duties and the lighthouse vessels are listed under Coast Guard.

Yeh, Baseline is 480BP for ships & shipyards.
200BP are for Super Norse Navy !!!

Well...
... There is a lot of water between Iceland and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between Ireland and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between Scotland and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between Norway/Novgorod and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between Svalbard and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... There is a lot of water between... uhm... *looks at Navalism text file* ... Olaf Sveinsson Land and the other parts of the Norse Kingdom...
... so basically what I am saying is that there is a lot of water between all the parts of the Kingdom so I thought that that would require the extra 200 BPs to protect those waters. Calculating things yesterday, I noticed that I had about 4 times the number of ships compared to China and over 10 times the total displacement compared to China.
...There is a lot of water between Norse and Byzance
A Norse Squadron is welcome to call in Marmara see.

When I wander past, I have enjoyed the sheer variety that you put forth. I have no problems with your specifying what your support vessels look like.
I will caution that by my understanding of the rules, which was supplemented by my asking direct questions and resulted in the "Fleet Support tonnage" rule,
that you don't need to pay for the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy", etc - you just have them :)
That said, it is lovely assortment. Had I more free time it would spur me to mimic you a bit. As it is, I took advantage of several unbooked weekends to rush out my sims and now I just wander on past every so often.

Hmmm... Can't seem to find anything like that in the rules. The cosest that I can find would be the "Out-of-Port Resupply" but that has to do with support in the form of resupplying ships and what those resupply ships can support overseas...
Still, those vessels are there to diversify the Norse navy. It should be noted that the majority (~65%) of BPs spent on those "civilian ships that occasionally support the navy" are the Passenger ships which, being used to transport troops in time of war, would actually fall under the Norse "Deployment Points" and not under the navy. The reason that I did are:
a) Olympic class.
b) Extra troop transport space making things slightly more comfortable for the "Deployment Points" troops than the unsimmed baseline transport ships.
c) Olympic class.
d) Increase number of ships to sim for the Norse Navy to make it look more impressive.
e) Olympic class.
f) Increase number of hulls to make the Norse Navy look more impressive.
g) Olympic class.
h) Greater variety of ships for the Norse Navy.
i) Olympic class.

If you know what you want, it takes very little time to sim it especially if you work using existing ships as baseline. With those "civilian ships that occasionally support the navy", there is no need to worry about guns and armor and shell weights and how much the armor covers with such ships. I think most time I spent on looking
what I want and a nice photo to add to it should the vessel be an existing one. Still all in all, I think I spent more time simming the Ishinagenjo carrier over at Wesworld and tweaking it over and over and over again. Looking at the date of the first sim and the final sim, it took me about 7 months (including the time to put a picture of it together).

... having thought about it a bit, if I don't need to pay for the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy" I probably should remove them from the list and just use them for storyline stuff only (and it will help making the startup a little bit less chaotic when it comes to juggling around the H1/10 tonnages for all the ships). It won't change anything when it comes to the setup but tonnages spent on the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy" will probably be used for other ships with any leftovers being spent on ships under construction.
Fine-tuned the Norse designs a bit and added some missing features here and there. With my initial figures, I had not taken any refits into account for the older ships for the addition of radio equipment around 1900 (which seems a proper thing to do) and decided to add FC and radar as well with refits. So in the end, more BPs were needed and I ended up removing the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy" from the list.

Did things slightly different for the Destroyers (because of how limited SS is). I split the original 10 ton for climate control in two so now there is 5 tons for additional damage control and pumps and 5 tons for climate control. Also only the F-class and G-class are fitted with long range wireless and fire control as it was not considered worth it to fit them on the older and smaller DDs.

With the removal of the "auxiliaries and civilian ships that occasionally support the navy", etc. stuff from my construction list for the tonnages needed to increase the size of the various ships slightly for the forgotten miscellaneous weights stuff, I have some leftovers even after shifting a few of the H2/09 ships to H1/09 so I decided to add one more Selkirk to the list and add one more design which I had originally planned for 1909 but then pushed back to 1911... and now back to 1909... I thought it was mandatory for me to have a turret farm sooner or later (which now turns to be sooner) since HMS Agincourt was built by Armstrong Whitworth in Newcastle upon Tyne (which here is Norse).
