But balance against yourself doesn't really matter its balance v your opponents that matter (and is harder to calculate but gun size gives an idea) 12.6" is just to small to hurt the majority of ships of major powers RN/USN/IJN kept post WNT. at least a 6x380mm ship has a chance or it can add its ...

The problem is that at WNT I think CVs are generally regarded as big expensive fleet scouts not capital ships? They are going to scout to find the enemy battle line as primary task for the gun ships to then fight. With strikes against harbours and to try to slow down fleets at sea by crippling a ...

You must have an enemy! no matter how weak or unlikely other wise the treasury will win... In this case the RN is fine (it worked in part for USN in 20s/30s) I would suggest dusting off risk fleet ideas :-P. Then set a RN fleet you might face? Say a fast fleet of Hood,R&R and Tiger or anything you ...

@JSB "You are quite rich and a long way from anybody (yay nice situation to be in) but WHO is your opponent (even if only in the navy staffs mind)?" @Thiel "Your AU suffers from the same problem as all the other really remotely located AUs. Why do they have a powerful military at all? You're so far ...

I think you also have to think about how you will be cut down by LNT, You will be cut down to 9 ships (unless you are read are with my new BC completion suggestion? I think you need more than 2 15" ships if you are to be considered a power with IJN like numbers) at that point do you cheat or keep ...

I think you are mistaken. Lengley was converted to AV to free up tonnage, Saratoga Lexington Akagi, Kaga, Courageous, Furious were all counted. Hosho sister was cancelled due to tonnage allocation issues. It was that converted hull could be build over the limit of 22000t set for a purpose built ...

This is less about the designs and more about theoretical time when a Carrier gained advantage over the battleship in a fleet action. At what point did the aircrafts that the Carrier was carrying could be the decisive factor in a naval engagement. I personally think it happened in the year 1930. It ...

Years ago there was a geocities page by a fellow going by the username Alt_Naval. He did create a lot of photoshop images of not finished projects and fictional ships. Does any of you has any of his works, or batter yet made a shipbucket image of any of them? for those unfamiliar with his work here ...

Posting here so not to make a new thread.

I know Victory and Santisma are already made.
Is any of the ships in the picture on someone's work-list?

The problem with these kinds of linear progressions is that there weren't any in reality. (...) I'm am aware of that. However it is not looking for progression on design for design base. What I'm trying to create is an evolution in the way of thinking. My plan is simple, if labour intensive. Start ...
