Warning! Boring stuff ahead!
If you want to stay awake, don't read it...
Funny thing is that SS says it can be done like that but when I do the next, I do not get to the desired displacement.
Removed (including stuff you'd probably want to keep on the ship):
1x triple 203mm turret = 287 tons
5x twin 100mm turrets = 59 tons
4x quad 37mm mounts = 46 tons
2x planes+ crane/cat = 75 tons
CIC = 50 tons
25mm deck over TTs = 40 tons
20mm side shutters TTs = 31 tons
Torpedoes = 48 tons
Total weight lost = 636 tons
Current displacement (standard) =
13914 tons
So with the stuff I removed (more than you removed with the sim) I am still some
270 tons heavier than the new sim...
... and I just realized what is causing it:
Hull, fittings & equipment. That is the one thing that changes when you alter the draught of the ship and that is why using my way you cannot get to the proper displacement without ditching additional stuff.
Hull, fittings & equipment original design with absolutely nothing on it: 16,253 tons.
Hull, fittings & equipment new version with absolutely nothing on it: 15,365 tons.
That's a difference of 888 tons.
It's minute but storages go from 332 tons to 314 tons. All little bits help.
In the sim, Hull, fittings & equipment goes from 6,166 tons to 5,829 tons, so a loss of 337 tons.
Inproper SS way...
1x triple 203mm turret = 287 tons
5x twin 100mm turrets = 59 tons
misc weight = 120 tons
ship hull loss = 337 tons
storage loss = 18
Total lost = 821 tons.
Current displacement = 13,729 tons.
Now I am still off by 86 tons... but so far, I haven't looked at the change of the ammuntion. Removing the 203mm turret and those 100mm turrets frees up another 108 tons from the removed ammunition. So...
Final displacement =
13,621 tons.
The difference of a mere 22 tons compared to the 13,643 t of the SS sim. Adding that 22 tons to the misc weight will result in the HS remaining at 1.00 (which is what I expected when looking at the data above).
