On top speed on the minelayer, I wasn't sure how far to push it. I have some Dutch designs in the mid-high 20s, but they are more "expensive" tonnage-wise.

Compared to the trawlers and fishing boats they would be a huge upgrade, and Siam can afford a squadron. So .... fewer larger & faster, or 8 of this ?

As for Subs...
Siam has 6 subs right now, 3 new Italian and 3 older Aussie. The Aussies should be coming up for refit shortly.

They could certainly use more subs, probably of the coastal variety.

One of the reasons I'm assaying this task is the Dutch offered to let the Siamese use NEI yards, which helps substantially for building/refitting space. The Dutch have also deliberately built quite a few subs in NEI to keep that skill set, so I'll probably have the Siamese build some there.

Ah, sounds fair enough. Sounds like the submarines can wait a year or two for the MLs/MSWs and the refits, then.

It's funny, but even with 2 factories, as long as small units are focused on, Siam can actually build/reconstruct a number of vessels. Belgium is more comfortable though, easier to build something large.

You could always just build less and invest more in your infrastructure.

Well as I dig into Siam's production I may find reason to field some heavier units. Having more CA/CDBBs and/or a CVL would greatly complicate things for someone trying an amphibious operation against Siam, or even allow some light force projection locally, but first I need to get the light units in order.

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 116.3 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 90.5 %
Waterplane Area: 12,279 Square feet or 1,141 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 111 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 63 lbs/sq ft or 307 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.93
- Longitudinal: 1.85
