Ok guys thined out the Armour on this one but
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this javes bay class BB has lot less armour then the last one but i gone for slopes Armour to counter gun fire like they do with tanks hope you like it this whats comeing 17inc. this my replacment for my 13.5" BBs in 1934

10 main guns in three turrets...
What layout ? 4-3-3 or 3-3-4 ?

Engineering and magazines take up only 76 percent so a 100 percent coverage is not necessary. You might want to try and get the hull strength over 1.

10 guns
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sounds like a 4-2-4 layout like the KGV's. This design is way more realistic than the others, allthough my personal preferance would be to use 3 triple turrets. Losing one 15" gun isn't so bad when you consider the other contemperary's will be Bismarck with 8x15" (4x2), Richelieu also with 8x15" (2x4) and Vittorio Venito with 9x15"(3x3).

Re: Ok guys thined out the Armour on this one but
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bit less ambitious, which is a good thing. Seakeeping is adequate, and it will certainly take a few torpedo hits! 41,000 tons Standard does violate the Treaty, but not by so much that others will be able to substantiate an open accusation. So it'll pass.

But you're still trying for too much on the tonnage. With a hull strength of 0.79, it risks breaking up in a storm. Try to get that to 1.00 (but not much over!)

Candidates for weight savings are the upper belt and the torpedo bulkhead. Lose the upper belt entirely, and reduce the torpedo bulkhead to 2" or so. And like Rooijen10
said, you only need 76% coverage for the main armor belt. That will get you there.

What you'll get is a bit light on armor for my taste, but some will think the speed's worth it. It'll sail around the world, and it's so close to the Treaty limit no one will ever know its over. And it takes a good deal of sinking.

Shave the deck and belt a little, increase your percentage of armor coverage to 79%, and you're there.

        Relative steadiness as gun platform: 53 %
        (Average = 50 %)
        Relative rocking effect from firing to beam: 0.32
        Relative quality as seaboat: 0.70

Hull form characteristics:
        Block coefficient: 0.62
        Sharpness coefficient: 0.38

Estimated hull characteristics & strength:
        Underwater volume absorbed by magazines and engineering spaces: 101.4 %
        Relative accommodation and working space: 127.8 %
        (Average = 100%)
        Displacement factor: 129 %
        (Displacement relative to loading factors)
        Relative cross-sectional hull strength: 1.45
        (Structure weight per square foot of hull surface: 159 lbs)
        Relative longitudinal hull strength: 1.08
        (for 15.90 ft average freeboard)
        Relative composite hull strength: 1.17
