Hopefully no errors, especially since it is the first one since I am back from Canada and the temperature here isn't helping things...
Edit: Yup... Forgot the carriers... ^_^;;
Edit 2: Forgot to edit the Training carrier line...
Edit 3: Whoops!! Some of those Coastal subs should have been launched in this quarter... and forgot the start of the shakedown cruises of some of the midget subs.


Japan’s Naval Developments – Q2/1931

A. Industrial Allocation

27/27 factories producing warship material = 27,000 t. 7,113 tons stockpiled materials available. 1004 tons received from Persia. Total materials available: 35,117 t. 23,859 t are used. 11,258 t materials stockpiled.

0/27 factories are dedicated to producing infrastructure material, = 0x 0.1 = 0.0 points.

B. Infrastructure Development

None.

Is it just me, or are those some really fast carriers? o_O

Heh. It's not just you.

Just your imagination guys. :-)

What carriers? All I saw was a grey blur.

Her seakeeping isn't so good, for a carrier. What happens when a CV takes 'em green over the bow?

And I'd be reluctant to try to land on something with only average steadiness.

I agree, while their speed is very impressive I think its at the expense of valuable stability. One good side I guess is that Japanese aviator's should be good at landings in rough weather on larger carriers.

The speed and unsteadiness are to foil Manzo I think.

Heh, looks like it would acctually help him. It makes it easier to crash!

...avoid flank speed in heavy seas.

As for steadiness - if Japanese pilots learn to land on The Flight Deck Casino, they won't have any problems anywhere else... ^_^

Landing is the least of your worries on the Casino.

I think the speed will be rather helpful personally. She has about a 3-5 knot advantage over most of our carriers. Just enouh to show up someplace.. unexpected...

Seakeeping... it's not easy keeping that up while going for such a fast design. Once these two are finished, the four fastest carriers in the world will be Japanese.

Steadiness... with trimming, if stability won't allow me to get it to 70%, then I usually do not bother. As a matter of fact, I usually go the other way, adding to my stability.

Quoted

To improve seakeeping, avoid flank speed in heavy seas.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Quoted

Chiyo-da?

You want me to call the carrier "Chiyo-chan" then? HIJMS Chiyo-chan and HIJMS Osaka??

Quoted

Landing is the least of your worries on the Casino.

Exactly. Loosing all your hard-earned money is. :-)

Quoted

I think the speed will be rather helpful personally. She has about a 3-5 knot advantage over most of our carriers. Just enouh to show up someplace.. unexpected...

... and get away quickly as well once it has shown up.

Quoted

You want me to call the carrier "Chiyo-chan" then? HIJMS Chiyo-chan and HIJMS Osaka??

No Chiyoda is fine. The other might have a different name..like Nakatomo or something?

Seakeeping wasn't really an issue with the Japanese carriers, they just build the hangars on top of a normal hull and kept a normal cruiser bow. The poor seakeeping was a more a factor of all their designs however, be they destroyer, cruiser or carrier.
