Chinese Naval Developments – Q2/1944 => Q4/1944



A. Industiral Allocation

China declares wartime production - starting Q3/1944

11/11 factories (non-fixed) to naval materials: 11000 tons created for Q2/1944
0/11 factories (fixed) to infrastructure materials: 0 pts created for Q2/1944

Stockpile after Q1/1944: 2417 tons

used for Transaction: 2000 tons
received from others: 0tons

warmaterial recycling: 0 tons (first quarter)
warmaterial recycling: 264 tons (second quarter)


Summary:
11000 tons (manufactured) + 2417 tons (stockpiled) + 264 tons (recycled) - 2000 tons (transaction) + 0tons (received) = 11681 tons

used at Tianjin: 4210 tons
used at Shanghai: 1990 tons
used at Zhanjiang: 790 tons
used at Kao-hsiung: 750 tons
used at Taipei: 1400 tons
used at Mako: 200 tons

If it is not a payment for a purchase, what was the cause of the "tonnage compensation" to Mexico?

4

Wednesday, June 24th 2015, 5:14pm

Exchange of vessels with different tonnage => compensation is necessary

Exchange of vessels with different tonnage => compensation is necessary



Hmm. Okay... which vessels, so that we can keep matter straight when it comes to orders of battle.

Mexico got the 4 Ming-Class Destroyers (http://wesworld.jk-clan.de/index.php?pag…2745#post122745) + 1750ts and China got the 4 Leone's Mexico purchased from Greece.

Ah. Thank you for clarifying. The Mexican post was so long ago it had fallen through the cracks.

I think your landing ship is suffering an identity crisis, because it's got catapults and floatplanes.

... and it only has enough miscellaneous tonnage assigned to seaplanes for 9 aircraft...

That is true, but I suspect that the Chinese intention is to model the vessel on the wartime IJN landing craft carriers - like the Kumano Maru - which had both landing craft and flight decks for aircraft. Not that I consider it a workable idea... but it is what I presume in the intent.

The Dongting is based on the OTL Shinshu Maru.

About the aircraft ... my fault. Will be corrected.

Hmmm... looking at these Chinese plans, maybe I should lay down that new version of my CAV... :)
