Smallest; Walter's rowing boat

I do seem to remember that I put an engine in that boat. It could be one of the slowest things around that actually has an engine.

Walter

I also seem to remember it had a beam of less than 1m making it nearly impossible to sit in.

Yes. The first attempts were a bit odd... but so is the ship they were made for.

fastest: Aveda Kedavra at 34.5 knots

Largest carrier: ANS Arrogant 33,553 tons (may shrink abit after a post trials tweak)

Fastest Atlantian ship: Admiralty type 2 class DD's 35.5 knots

Largest light cruiser: ANS Active 7,774 tons after her rebuild.

Slowest ship: the Armored Cruiser ANS Lyra (ex-Mauritania), currently a museum ship, with no engines or working guns.

Largest DD: Italian Verese class 2,013 tons

Smallest DD's: Some of those early Iberian designs

Most powerfull BB, Nagato? with 12x15" IIRC..

Largest CL: RSAN San Lorenzo (8037ts standard)

Smallest CL: RSAN WASP (2092ts standard)

Smallest DD: RSAN Falcon (1318ts standard) [note: there´s also LD RSAN Taygete with 600ts but she´s not rated a DD under CT terms)

Smallest CV: RSAN Wim Kraash (6897ts standard)

Smallest SS: RSAN H-class (422ts standard)

Largest SS: RSAN J-class (1164ts standard)

Smallest AV: RSAN Trym (2051ts standard)

Smallest Submarine: Znanya (63 tons Standard)

Deepest-diving Submarine: Znanya (Op depth 505 ft)

Most powerful BB: Imperator Petr Veliki (would break Hood in half, if she could catch Hood, but is watching the completion of MM Lepanto with a degree of concern...)

Yes, Lepanto will be quite a beast, even if the armour is slightly thin.

Nagato has 12x360mm=14.1" guns. Have you simmed those Admiralty class DDs BTW?

Atlantis - for example - has many "largest" and "fastest" etc. but the RSAN has most "smallest"....?!

Not very healthy, though.

The Admiralty 2 class have been simmed and are in the fleet list on the infrastructure board. They are poor seaboats so their speed is only legendary in a calm sea in reality.

The closest thing to Hood in the Atlantean fleet would be the Vengeance class BC's.

Well, if they are anything like the design I managed to create using the limited data in that list, they are poor seaboats indeed.

THE THREE WISE KATO'S

Voiceover: ‘Welcome to this year’s Great Warships of our Navy, the Japanese edition. And as ever it is presented by the Minister of Navy. Let’s welcome the current Minister of Navy, Admiral Kato Tomosaburo-sama!!!’
Crowd: *Applause*
Voiceover: ‘As usual, accompanied by his loyal aides Kato-san and Kato-san (as usual fighting with his friend)!!!!’
Crowd: *Applause*
Admiral Kato: ‘Thank you everyone. It is a great honor to host this year’s event. As usual the are a variety of categories in which a ship can become a winner. Whenever displacements are mentioned, we are referring to the ship’s normal displacement.’
Kato (GH): ‘There are various categories and each category has several contenders. The winner will be decided based on the statistics available to us and with various categories based on the Jury's decision.’
Kaetuza: 'That's me.'
Kato (PP): ‘Awards are given in the following categories: “Greatest ship of the Navy” category, “Largest warship” category, “Smallest warship” category, “Fastest warship” category, “Slowest (complete) warship” category, “Greatest range at 15kts” category, “Shortest range at 15kts” category, “Most powerful ship” category, “Thirstiest ship at 15kts” category, “Most economic ship at 15kts” category, “Largest Carrier” category, “Smallest Carrier” category, “Largest Cruiser” category, “Largest light cruiser” category, “Smallest Cruiser” category, “Largest destroyer” category, “Smallest destroyer” category, “Most extras” category, “Most ridiculous extras” category, and “Most unusual color scheme” category.’
Admiral Kato: ‘We shall start with the first category. Kato-san!’
Kato (GH): ‘Ah yes. The “Most unusual color scheme” category. There were a great many contenders for this category. The first contender is the Kameko-chan with it’s unusual use of paint, mixing red and white paint. And the other 405 contenders of the navy are the rest of the fleet using the usual boring dull gray paint.’
Admiral Kato: ‘Very good Kato-san. And the winner is…’ *opens envelope* ‘… The pink-colored Kameko-chan!!!’
Crowd: *Applause*
Kameko-chan captain (to his officers): ‘Shimatta!! Let’s get out of here quickly!’ *quickly leaves the hall*.
Admiral Kato: ‘Captain! Come forward!’
---Kameko-chan captain nowhere to be seen.---
Admiral Kato: ‘… Ehm… we could always… send it by mail to him… I suppose…’
Empress Kameko: *appears out of nowhere* ^_^ ‘Yay! I will take that award. The ship does happen to belong to me.’ *snatches award* ‘It is a great honor to receive this award. I’d like to thank my family and friends and the ship’s crew and the designers without whom, this would not have been possible. Thank you!’ *goes back to seat*
Admiral Kato: ‘… Your majesty… thank you for accepting the award’ *bows* ‘Kato-san, the next category, please.’
Kato (PP): ‘The “Most extras” category. Not many contenders in this category though. The first contender is the Kameko-chan with all the extras for Her Majesty the Empress. The second contender is the Go-ni class, special coastal troop-carrying vessel with many extras for the brave troops aboard.’
Admiral Kato: ‘… That’s it?’
Kato (PP): ‘That’s all of them.’
Admiral Kato: ‘… And the winner is…’ *opens envelope* ‘… The Kameko-chan again!!!’
Crowd: *Applause*
Admiral Kato: ‘Very popular ship, despite the dubious color.’
Empress Kameko: *appears out of nowhere* ^_^ ‘Yay! Another award for me.’ *snatches award* ‘It is a great honor to receive this second award. I’d like to thank my family and friends and the ship’s crew and the designers without whom, this would not have been possible. Thank you!’ *goes back to seat*
Admiral Kato: ‘… thank… you…’
Kato (GH): ‘The admiral seems to be lost for words… so we shall move on to the next category: the “Most ridiculous extras” category. Not many contenders in this category either. The first contender is the Kameko-chan… with the 12 inch armored swimming pool, the 17 inch armored bedroom for the empress, the armored guard deck, the stables, and various other dubious extras. The second contender is…’ *looks at paper* ‘There are no other contenders.’
Admiral Kato: ‘… And the winner is… well, I won’t bother to open the envelope for this category. Again the Kameko-chan.’
Crowd: *Applause*
Admiral Kato: ‘Very popular ship indeed, despite the embarrassing color.’
Empress Kameko: *appears out of nowhere* ^_^ ‘Yay! And another award for me!’ *snatches award* ‘It is a great honor to receive this third award. I’d like to thank my family and friends and the ship’s crew and the designers without whom, this would not have been possible. Thank you!’ *goes back to seat*
Admiral Kato: ‘… standard speech…’
Kato (PP): ‘The following category is…’
Admiral Kato: ‘Let’s just move on to the last category. We’ll post all the winners on the large announcement board outside, tomorrow.’
Kato (PP): ‘Very good, boss. The following category is the “Greatest ship of the Navy” category. The selection has been narrowed down to the next classes: The Fuso-class, the Nagato-class, and the Zuiho-class.’
Admiral Kato: ‘… And the winner is…’ *opens envelope* ‘… And it’s clear that someone has bribed the Jury… for it is the Kameko-chan!!’
Crowd: *Applause*
Empress Kameko: *appears out of nowhere* ^_^ ‘Yay! And another award for me!’ *snatches award* ‘It is a great honor, etc. You know the speech...’
Admiral Kato: ‘… I think I’m going to retire now…’

* If my guess is correctly, then Nagato’s normal displacement makes her bigger than Hood.
** The main reason for that range is to get the Zuiho under 27,000 tons. Big shocking fact: Nagato the Boiler is not in second place! Fuso comes in second and snatches the ‘Boiler Award’ with 17,200nm at 15kts and Nagato is a sloppy third with a mere 15,295nm at 15kts.

You have far too much time on your hands Walter.

For largest warship; HMS Hood is still 860ft long and 105ft in beam. Thats still largest, if not by displacement.

Well, length-wise, Hood would clearly be the winner by 50 feet and can claim the title of the longest (unless there is another ship that is longer), but when I look at 'largest' I look at displacement, not length. Hood is the larger ship when looking at standard displacement (due to Nagato's great range), but since all ships we design use the dimensions and BC of the ship at normal displacement, I look at that rather than standard to determine the larger ship.

BTW, why is Sping Sharp Hood simmed without TDS while Springstyle Hood does have TDS?

"BTW, why is Sping Sharp Hood simmed without TDS while Springstyle Hood does have TDS?"

Good question... And here´s another:

Where is the summer this year?

*grumble*

From an Irish point of view, it WAS 2 weeks ago, on Thursday between 3.15 and 3.35 pm!!!!!
