Just so you're not operating in an information vacuum during these interesting times:

3 factories to infrastructure, eight to warship goodies.

1.1 pts in from COSINE, for 1.4 pts total. Invested in D3 at Male, now at 3.3 pts total.

Q1 Lay-downs:

Reported standard displacement and speed likely a bit lower than actual numbers presented below...

1 x Kanpur class light cruiser: 9016 t, 12x15 cm, 16x55 cm TT, 33.0 kts
2 x Kudligi-34 type escorts: 1124 t, 4x12.5 cm, 4x55 cm TT, 22.6 kts
2 x Magar Macchh class dakuu: 2049 t, 6x12.5cm, 8x55 cm TT (+reloads or mines), 34.1 kts
2 x Miraj class destroyer, as previously posted
1 x submarine tender conversion, as previously posted
1 x modified Talwar class aircraft carrier for the Philippines. Ask Alikchi.
2 x sloops (S118, S119) scrapped but machinery retained and refitted.

Still Building:

CV Val
3 x Miraj class DD (#4-6)
BB Mahmudieh for Turkey

Q1 Completions:

CV Talwar, end of quarter.

Thanks Rocky

You're welcome. Sorry for the lack of terrifying beasties...that's Walter's job.

Gah, hate to ask for the building shedual of Mahmudieh but it seems to be on the other computer! I've yet to post Q1/34

I believe she's available to annoy Greece on the first day of Q4.

If you ask Roger, a Turkish carly float would do that just fine!

I heard that : P

AIGF.

2nd BB rebuild will rejoin Jun35 and new BB will join Dec35. A second carrier and large cruiser will join the fleet in mid 34. I'm not too worried but it helps the domestic politics if you can point to a bogie man.

Cheers,

Just for info, here's the modified Talwar - Sibuyan.

Aircraft capacity & hangar/elevator layout is essentially identical to Talwar. The major changes include Filipino 115mm weapons instead of Indian 105s, and slightly modified superstructure.

Also have you SATSUMA players found anyone interested in caretaking for India in Rocky's absence?

Since I've got the old spreadsheet open to give Perdedor the Fillie data, why not summarize what I'd had in mind for India in 1934? Bear in mind that the following includes stuff mentioned as laid down in Q1/34, above:

Laid down:

2 x Kanpur class CL
2 x CLAA (the names escape me...)
2 x Miraj class DD
4 x Kudligi-34 class sloops
2 x Magar Macchh class dakuu
2 x APD derived from the Kudligi class sloops
6 x Anti-submarine launches
10 x MTB

Conversions to Service:

1 x Submarine tender (stats previously posted)
1 x Repair ship (50% rebuild of a ~5000 t freighter)

Scrapped:

2 x S-114 class sloops, with machinery vanguarded and refurbished.

Foreign Stuff:

Filipino CV Sibuyan laid down Q1
Philippines buys ex-Peruvian CDBB Lima, Q3-4
Turkish BB Mahmudieh goes home Q4
Some old stuff goes (or went already) to Peru

Infrastructure:

The bulk of the COSINE funding was coming in during 1934, so in sequence, India:

-finished a D3 at Male
-built a D1 at Mumbai
-built a D0 at As Salif, Asir
-loaned Persia 0.5 IP to speed up drydock construction there (to be paid back as warship material in '35)
-got 1.4 pts into a D1 at Trincomalee
