These are virtual clones of the Dutch Brinio-class "Pantersbooten" on page 279 of Jane's WW1.

I intend to build a number of these boats, starting Q1/25.

[EDIT: Changed the designator; Filipino gunboats will have class designations based on their armament.]

Filipino G-100 class gunboat, laid down 1925

Length, 172 ft x Beam, 28.0 ft x Depth, 9.0 ft
545 tons normal displacement (497 tons standard)

Main battery: 4 x 3.94-inch / 100mm
Light battery: 2 x 0.54-inch / 13.7mm

Weight of broadside: 122 lbs

Main belt, 2.0 inches; ends unarmored
Armor deck, average 0.75 inches
C.T., 2.0 inches

Battery armor:
Main, 0.5" shields


Maximum speed for 1500 shp = 16.09 knots
Approximate cruising radius, 5000 nm / 10 kts

Typical complement: 56-73


Estimated cost, $476,000 (£119,000)

Remarks:

Relative extent of belt armor, 54 percent of 'typical' coverage.

Good seaboat; rides out heavy weather easily.

Magazines and engineering spaces are roomy, with superior
watertight subdivision.

Cramped ship; poor crew accommodation, limited working space.

I like her, I seem to have missed that little design in Janes, otherwise I likely would have copied her too.
Shes a good way to keep those pesky pirates at bay and perfect for all those Islands in the Phillipines.

I sure hope the funnel on your ship is better looking though!

Since I had lots of hull strength to play with, I raised the freeboard and thickened the armour.

Added some extra armour (end and upper belts!) since I had oodles of hull strength left...also added an AA gun (a post-Otta-strike mod ).

Also Metricsed, bent, folded, spindled and mutilitated.

I think you should be working to a hull strength of 1.50 or 2.00 considering that shes only good for 16knts.

Hadn't thought of that, thanks for pointing it out.

1.37 will have to do...

What does "diamond arrangement" stand for?

Quoted

What does "diamond arrangement" stand for?

He actually means a rhombus.

1 gun at stem, 1 at stern and 2 amidships
