A question... would not the replacement of the 155mm secondary battery by a 152mm battery involve modifications to the barbettes? A clarification on this point would be appreciated for future reference.

I would presume that the changes are small enough and the size is going down, that the barbette wouldn't require modifications?

I think it does.

There are a few ways I would use to work around that. I would either keep it simple and sim the guns as 155mm and in the notes indicate that they are actually 152mm guns or I would do it a bit more complicated and increase the barbette thickness so the weight matches that of the original design and in the notes indicate the actual thickness and why that was done.

However, I note that the Springsharp for the Iztaccíhuatl as refitted has the armor for the secondary battery as 76mm - 38mm - 76mm; the Samal, as delivered, had armor for the secondary battery of 75mm - 40mm - 75mm. That's a change to barbette armor is it not?

That looks more like a metric => imperial conversion matter than a change in barbette armor... but that is how I look at it.

No - the Springsharp for Samal had the armor spec'd in metric, as does the armor for the Mexican refit - there is a change; I do not see a way to dance around that one.

I don't know. "2nd: 3.00" / 76 mm 1.50" / 38 mm 3.00" / 76 mm" looks pretty imperial to me.

which in the above sim becomes

Quoted

Torpedo Bulkhead and Bulges: 1.20" / 30 mm 564.00 ft / 171.91 m 23.00 ft / 7.01 m

Other examples...
"Main: 8.27" / 210 mm 5.12" / 130 mm 8.27" / 210 mm" becomes "Main: 8.27" / 210 mm 5.10" / 130 mm 8.27" / 210 mm"
"4th: 0.98" / 25 mm - - " becomes "4th: 1.00" / 25 mm - -"
"Conning tower: 5.12" / 130 mm" becomes "Conning tower: 5.10" / 130 mm"

... so I am pretty sure it is a metric => imperial thing. I'm almost sure that DF entered 8.27 inches instead of 210mm. So I would say that the changes are a case of laziness and not paying attention.

There are these bit though which would require a bit more than a simple life extension refit...
"140,750 shp / 105,000 Kw = 31.73 kts" becomes "140,392 shp / 104,733 Kw = 31.70 kts" which is a change to the powerplant (= Partial Reconstruction = 50%).
"Range 13,500nm at 12.00 kts (Bunkerage = 3,683 tons)" becomes "Range 8,400nm at 15.00 kts Bunker at max displacement = 3,748 tons" which is a change to the ships bunkerage (= Partial Reconstruction = 50%).
"Armour deck: 3.15" / 80 mm" becomes "Armour deck: 3.00" / 76 mm" which is a change to deck armor (= Partial Reconstruction = 50%).

I would also add these, but they do not have any effect on the sim though other than changing the overall length...

"Bow angle: 5.00 degrees" becomes "Bow angle: 0.00 degrees" which is a change to bow form (= Partial Reconstruction = 50%).
"Stern overhang: -2.00 ft / -0.61 m" becomes "Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m" which is reshaping of stern (= Total Reconstruction = 75%).

And you would be right, as are the rest of the changes, most are a case of rounding on my part. Except for the deck armor. The distribution of weight numbers for the deck armor where not coming out right, so I dropped the armor until it matched those numbers. I figure this was a case of different versions of SS2.

I defer to your superior analysis.

However, the change to the bow form, and the stern form, if actually carried out - significantly changes the cost of the refit, which jumps from 5,800 tons for 25% to 17,400 tons for the 75% reconstruction. So what do we actually have going on here?

I'm guessing a lot of mistakes were made in re-simming the ship before starting the refit scheme. I don't think it should be too difficult to make things right, though.

Quoted

The distribution of weight numbers for the deck armor where not coming
out right, so I dropped the armor until it matched those numbers. I
figure this was a case of different versions of SS2.

That is quite possible, although it would have been better if you had mentioned that with the sim.

Did a quick test with some of the data. Changes with the guns are:

Original 155mm guns
Weight Guns: 142 tons
Weight Armor: 251 tons
Weight Magazine: 116 tons
HS without guns (x-sec/long/comp): 3.03/2.58/2.69
HS with guns (x-sec/long/comp): 2.80/2.47/2.55

New 6" guns
Weight Guns: 135 tons
Weight Armor: 247 tons
Weight Magazine: 105 tons
HS without guns (x-sec/long/comp): 3.03/2.58/2.69
HS with guns (x-sec/long/comp): 2.81/2.48/2.56

Changes are minute, but I would still think it is proper to consider that the changes to the secondaries require a Partial Reconstruction.

Still, having completed the sim that I stared with for the above test, I get a 0.98 hull strength for the design in SS2. When comparing it with the SS data, I see a few armor weight values going up a bit with the SS2 sim but I do not get the impression that the additional 40 tons would be the cause of the hull strength dropping to 0.98 (subtracting 40 tons of miscellaneous weights did not change the hull strength of the 'original' sim below).

If I were to deal with that, I would slightly alter the freeboard a bit to gain the hull strength while indicating the problem of converting the SS1 sim to SS2 and asking if the below sim is okay to use as SS2 and to be used as base for the refit sim (sure hope I made no mistakes).

Messing around a bit with the design using your refit sim, I get something like this. The slightly increased draught I subtracted from the freeboard and I slightly adjusted the angle of the bow in order to get the same length (oa). The 77mm secondary barbette should sim the original 75 mm while you have a new turret with the 6" guns on top of it. With the slightly increased draught, speed and range are slightly altered so they match the 'original' shp and bunkerage weight. I would think that the below sim should be good enough to earn the label "Level 3: Major Refits (cost = 25%, except ships of 2,999 t light or less --> 15%)" instead of the label "Level 4: Partial Reconstruction (cost = 50%, except ships of 2,999 t light or less --> 25%)".

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
31,142 lbs / 14,126 Kg = 31.1 x 12.6 " / 320 mm shells or 4.5 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.10
Metacentric height 4.3 ft / 1.3 m
Roll period: 18.4 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.54
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.08

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.520
Length to Beam Ratio: 8.22 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 27.39 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 53 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 65
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 5.01 degrees
Stern overhang: -2.00 ft / -0.61 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 30.92 ft / 9.42 m
- Forecastle (20%): 21.60 ft / 6.58 m
- Mid (50%): 20.60 ft / 6.28 m
- Quarterdeck (15%): 20.60 ft / 6.28 m
- Stern: 20.60 ft / 6.28 m
- Average freeboard: 21.69 ft / 6.61 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 114.2%
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 141.3%
Waterplane Area: 40,718 Square feet or 3,783 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 109%
Structure weight / hull surface area: 164 lbs/sq ft or 799 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.99
- Longitudinal: 1.08
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform

Still this is how I would have done it. Maybe others have a different idea.
