Just the AA guns...the big boys are fine.

Now only using the big boys

By the way how much tonnage i will save ??? Where can i find it in the report ????

Quoted

Before scrapping a ship her guns can be taken off her and re-used when building new vessels. If those guns are installed as a new designs main armament, the building time for that new vessel is reduced by 1 month (not impairing slip time). If those guns are installed as a new designs secondary armament, the building time for that new vessel is reduced by 1 month (not impairing slip time). Both cases are cumulative. Using those guns as tertiary armament on a new ship will not result in a reduction of the time necessary to build said new ship.

Sim the guns with the appropriate turret and gunhouse armour, but not the armour for the barbette. Whatever that weight is, you can subtract it from the amount you have to pay, and you get a month off of construction time.

Sim a ship using only the big guns, and the armour for those guns, and add the Armor (Armament) and Armament categories from the Distribution of Weights section.
