New Dutch ships

On the van Meel:

If you're doing an armored flight deck (and it looks like that's the intent), the weight for that should be coded as misc. weight, it gets the weight up higher where it should be.

Your 40mm and 23mm guns should probably not be breech loaders. Also, the armor on the 40mm guns looks rather odd.

An airgroup of 70 aircraft? How is that broken down into squadrons?

Given the seakeeping, I'm surprised at this warning, but there it is.


On the Windmill:

Warning: Raised guns + low guns > total guns - 3rd battery
Not sure what this is about, but something to take a look at.

I'm sure Hoo will blanch at the L:b ratio: 10.77 is pretty high for a 170m ship.

Not sure how SS exactly calculates it but considering that freeboard is the same along the entire length and having messed around with SS long enough, that warning does not surprise me.

Wasn't your reputation built on the Block Coefficient? :)

IIRC, the warning goes away if the prow is X% above the average deck height, doesn't it?

That's generally one of the Springsharp warnings I tend to ignore.

1.1x the square root of the waterline length.

It's from the Grand Fleet by D K Brown and based on anecdotal evidence from British WWI ships. It seems a good fit to that dataset, but a bit woolly for anything else.
