Regarding carriers, I can't design them in springsharp, so I'd like to have two small carriers finished based on my Arno-class, I'd propose 13000 ts each and 15-20 aircraft (comparable to HMS Hermes) and as a bigger ship, a conversion of a Caracciolo-class battleship to a carrier, to be finished in 1925 (planned by real-life Italy but not performed). The latter should have a total capacity of 60-80 aircraft, being a bit smaller than the Lexingtons.

Edited to include the battleship design - do we go by standard not over 50 000 ts or normal not over the limit ?

My first seemingly successful attempt at building a ship in SpringSharp!



How does it look?

Sinking cruisers is better accomplished by a higher barrel count. If its truly not going to stand in the line of battle, a somewhat dubious assumption in history, and lies along the Strassbourg-Alaska-B65 line of thinking then you really shouldn’t need more then a 14in gun. If you think you need a 16in gun then you also need protection against it, at which point the ship will be so large that it doesn’t make sense to give it only six guns.



Those little Italian MAS boats are going to be almost worthless in the Pacific swells. Even Italy with sheltered waters to operate in only had about 100 of them in service upon the outbreak of WW2, and this was by far the world’s largest MTB force. Being frail wooden things with high power aircraft engines, MTBs had short service lives and would be quite expensive to maintain in peacetime. They can only be effective at night as well. Small submarines would make a fair bit more sense for such an open coastline but do whatever.

Germany had only about 18 of its large sea going Schnellboot in 1939 in contrast, but these large boats proved much more effective. The USN and British had similar numbers, while Japan had nothing.

We are talking motor torpedo boats, torpedo boats are much larger. But yeah basically huge swarms in peacetime would just mean you constantly had to produce new MTBs because the old ones don’t last twenty years or even five years if you actually use them. You could do it but it doesn’t make any real sense. For navies it’s the same story with small escorts in general and minesweepers. No one ever had as many as they needed in wartime in peacetime because manning and operating costs would become very high. Small escorts, sweepers and MTBs could be mass produced and converted in wartime unlike bigger warships.

As for shipyards this image shows the basics of what is contained within WW1-2 shipyards and how they work.


An outfitting dock is not a dock in the same manner as a dry dock, but rather just a length of quay which has one or more (usually many more) mobile cranes. Several ships could be tied up at once and be worked on out of a joining shops. Typically a shipyard that built battleships would also have a special dock with a very heavy hammerhead crane, or else a very heavy floating crane would be kept around specifically for the job of installing and removing main battery guns and turrets. These massive cranes were much rarer then even capital ship sized drydocks.

The outfitting dock would be used for certain repairs and upgrades of existing ships. However that kind of work could also be done in certain dry docks and at certain naval yard facilities not equipped for the construction of new ships. It really depends on how extensive its going to be.

Of course certain work which is not intensive of shipyard capacity, like scraping and repainting hulls would also occupy dry docks for considerable amounts of time. This was often a job assigned to floating docks when they existed, but basically it should be kept in mind that you should not have 100% of dry docks occupied by ships being built or modified for extensive periods of time which would preclude doing other quick jobs.

Ah, torpedo boats are more likely 750 or so ton mini-destroyers or cutters I imagine?

And wouldn't it be logical for a Navy to keep wartime auxiliaries like minesweepers and minelayers in reserve condition to extent lifespan in peacetime, with occasional training cruises to keep skills up?

Yes torpedo boats ranged from about 300-800 tons in WW1. Few navies persisted with such small torpedo warships afterwards, except Italy and Germany which ultimately produced designs of as much as 1,300 tons. These large late designs amounted to the standards of WW1 destroyers, but in an era of 2,000+ ton fleet units with enclosed guns and worthwhile seakeeping they proved very crappy investments.

Certain auxiliaries might be kept in reserve, but for the most part they would be mobilized from civilian service in warto,e. Many navies had programs to subsidize the construction of civilian fishing trawlers and similar craft in peacetime to ensure they would be able to accommodate a wartime role. You can put minelaying rails on just about anything, dedicated minelayer designs are few and far between in history though examples certainly exist. The USN ended up turning the ones it built in WW2 into netlayers, the British ones spent more time taking supplies to Malta then laying any eggs.

Thanks Skimmer, I was concerned about the Pacific swells and couldn't find any real-life analogues for the MTBs in Peru (but I did find submarines.) I will switch to an alternate plan that removes the MTBs in favour of increased an coastal submarine presence and modern destroyers.

Having some MTBs makes sense, its always good to have different ways of engaging an enemy. You just dont want hundreds of them. The area of the historical Bolivian coastline is very rocky, with large stretches consisting of steep near cliff sides just behind the high water mark, so coastal defence isn’t going to be very hard for you. Defend the ports and an enemy has few other choices for a major landing. Attacks through the surrounding desert from other countries are however s concern. The desert in that part of the world is the driest on earth, but also not very wide and thus little barrier to military operations.

Et si omnes ego non

After some discussion, I have decided to make the Gigante into the first ship in a new class. Her design is a clear and lengthening of the previous class, and is armed with 16"/45's patterned off of the German L 20 α class battleship that Thanas is using so I'll hear no argument about her guns this time. Also, while her weight is high, by the rules I would have the space to build her to 55kt and our limit was set at 50kt to start. I also intend to use her as a single ship class and building a newer-class armed with weapons to be tested in our current year with a first laying in 1926.



This is the first of the Titan line, designed to be the fiercest ship on the seas, with her four turrets each sporting 16"/52 caliber guns and her thicker armor she is a full 5,000 tons heavier than the ship designed before her. Yet she is based on the same strengthened hull as the single ship test class before her.

I'm curious about Thanas' carriers. I'm certain the Graf Zeppelin (by the project of Flugzeugtrager A) was designed in 1934 and hence it's some other carrier design under the same name.

Did the finished "Flugzeugdampfer I" (Ausonia) get that name upon presumable commission in 1922? And what happened with the conversion of three seaplane tenders: the SMS Roon, SMS Stuttgart and SMS Stettin? Without the disastrous collapse of Germany, all those would be a go.

Norade, my only problem with your guns was that you seemed to leap to the biggest ones you could have. I'm going to use either 16"/50 or 16"/52 myself (I considered 16"/55 but was told they were generally regarded as unfeasible due to length) on my newest ships after my 1918 dreadnought and 1919 battlecruiser used 16"/45s.

I only have one carrier of 12000 tons. It is called the Zeppelin simply because of the Graf of the same name. Other than that, it is a pretty limited design, carrying only around 20 planes. Seaplane tenders are nonexistent. My BBs already carry some planes, why would I need some tenders?

So it's called the Graf Zeppelin? That's cool. I mean, in real life it didn't even have a proper name Your displacement and specs quite conform to it's real capacities. However, sadly I couldn't find any art of it's final view, except that rather simple scheme


Well, actually seaplane tenders are (IMHO) useful as dedicated ships, and in such capacity even old or civilian ships can outserve them being obsolete, having a second life. Germany planned to convert three ships (Roon, Stuttgart and Stettin) into seaplane tenders. Russia used the seaplane tender Orlitsa with quite some effect. The tenders can be sent to cover landing assaults, their planes can engage enemy planes in combat (as they did in WWI), and conduct recon more efficiently because they have many planes on-board. They are also cheaper units than BBs, made from old or civ ships, and for a navy lacking many carriers can serve as a welcome recon asset replacement.

Yes, SMS Graf Zeppelin. However in my view it was launched by using the hull of the Blücher.

As for seaplane tenders, Stas, all that is true, but I simply did not have the tonnage left.

You drew out the total Hochseeflotte to the limits of NF 5 tonnage? Damn. Well, but those tenders are converts of your actual ships. Or you don't have the Roon, Stuttgart and Stettin in your Navy? *shakes head* I wonder just how did that happen. A new 1920's large line of 40,000 ton battleships or something?

Yep. I found it pretty inaccurate for Germany to scrap the Nassau or Ostfriesland just yet, so they still exist - with engine rebuilds, though, which justifies their existence.



A lot of my ships were sold off to Mexico/the Congo/scrapped. The armored cruisers I have now are the Scharnhorst and Gneisenaus, and they are relegated to training duties.



The L20alpha design got a run of 4 ships (with a few design changes).

Well, your entire commissioned dreadnaught battleship tonnage (per my calculations) is ~715000 tons (newer designs in construction not calculated, if your last commissioned series was the 4x L20a battleships), which is less than 50% allotted limit (1,500,000 ton). Did you calculate with normal displacement? Because I think all the other ships combined would weigh around the same as the battleships or less, meaning you're well within limits.

I'm likely to convert one of the 4-5 50,000tonne new battleships into a carrier. Are there any particular objections? I will post the specs for the battleship if required.

No, I recreated the designs in Springsharp to get standard tonnage. Keep in mind that there are 2 extra Bayern class, 2 Ersatz Yorck to that. And there are always heavy cruisers, submarines, light cruisers et al who all count toward the limit. Plus, construction includes 300.000 for new ships that are still fitting out, but were launched in 1923/4.
