WesWorld

Thanks for all the feed back. Red Admiral was almost correct, the plan was to build a cheap fast-ish convoy or fleet AA escort that is almost disposable, she's really nothing more than a pumped up destroyer with much improved HA FCS, hopefully she could be built to commercial scantlings to save costs. Which is part of the thinking behind the high steadiness and lowish stability, hopefully giving a decent gun platform. Following advice I have increased the stability. The box armour scheme is one ...

I hope this is OK to post here, I've been playing about with spring sharp to try and come up with a small AA cruiser/Flotilla leader type. She has quite a heavy 40mm Fit, which may be unrealistic but it's balanced by a light torpedo fit of only 4 tubes in twin mounts.

Thanks, it's quite tricky to use when you don't have a clue what affects cross sectional strength

Greetings all, I have been lurking for a while so i decided i would jump off the deep end and say Hi. This is my 1st attempt to use Springsharp after being inspired by many of the ships that have been designed here. I'm a little unsure if this fit's in with your requirements here as I could not find the thread listing what is and is not allowed. It's loosely based upon the Hunt Series 3 Hull with the arrangement of the main guns in a Battle Class type arrangement. The idea is to have quite a lar...
