WesWorld

Does anyone know about this British ship? All I know is:
- 20 built in 1923
- Approx 540 tons light displacement
- unlimited category

I figure that, if I've got it, I may as well know what it is...

Also, I've discovered a significant number of ships that the RN posessed in 1919 that may have survived until 1929 in some form, once all the requisitions have been sorted out and the decrepit ships (after the war? Most of them, I'd say) disposed of. I'm not sure exactly what I'd be looking to keep, but does anyone object to keeping some old auxiliaries in principle?

Thanks,

Dude, I'm honestly not sure this class actually existed. All the info I can find on RN ships places their 1920 DEs in the low thousand ton range. Do you have a name for any of the ships in the class?

Okay, using wikipedia I found out that the only class that might remotely fit that bill was the 24 class built from 1918-1919. Unfortunately, that was a convoy sloop of 1,320 tons. Whatever you're looking for, it isn't a corvette or DE built in the 20s.

I expect it wasn't a real-life design, it was a design for the sim.

From Gravina's 1923 reports:

Quoted

D23 class DE
20 units, Laid down in 20 type 0 slips (7 in Portsmouth, 6 in Armstrong Withworth & Co. Ltd, 6 in Beardmore & Co. Ltd and 1 in Montreal.)
Each unit recieves 180t (of 575)

Yes, it's a fictional design for WesWorld - I've found some odd patrol boats from the WWI period, but it certainly isn't them...

Scroll up to the top of the page. On the Right, there is a 'Members' button.

Click that and then find Gravina on the page. Half way across you'll find a 'search' button. Press this and you'll get all his posts - only his posts.

Anyway, here it is - 1922 TB

Cheers,

Not a bad little ship for 1922, though it's a little unusual for a British ship of the day to have diesel motors. If it's standard displacement is underreported by just a ton, it's into the unrestricted category of ships.

He took over control of GB from another player who had to bail out..... Should explain his question, though.

I rather thought that there were supposed to be different classes in later years, filling different 'destroyer' roles. That said, she's a nice ship, so I may well adapt them.

You're thinking of the original version; the version built has steam turbines and is just over half-way down. She's also bang-on 600 tons...

Ah yes, the Defiant-class boats...
