Announcement: My tweaked version of my MV Newfoundland and MV Labrador. Gross Tonnage, after much work, has been estimated at 40,000.
Currently, I am working on the cabin arrangements for the passengers--will post shortly, as soon as they are finished. Here is the redesign for you guys to evaluate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MV Newfoundland and MY Labrador, Canadian Express Ocean Liners
*above: RMS Homeric, White Star Line's 35,000 ton ocean liner.
Gross Tonnage: approx. 40,000
Displacement: 28,766 t light; 29,420 t standard; 32,700 t normal; 35,324 t full load
Dimensions: Length (overall / waterline) x beam x draught (normal/deep)
(795.32 ft / 770.00 ft) x 88.00 ft x (30.00 ft / 31.92 ft)
(242.41 m / 234.70 m) x 26.82 m x (9.14 m / 9.73 m)
Machinery: These ships are powered by a diesel-electric system. Diesel generators power two electric motors which in turn rotate the two propeller shafts.
The total power output is 74,000 shp (37,000 hp per shaft) giving these ships a service speed of 23 knots with a maximum design speed of 26 knots.
Design range is 8,000 nautical miles at a speed of 23 knots. Normal fuel capacity is 3,280 tons with a maximum capacity of 5,904 tons of diesel fuel.
Complement: about 600
Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
• Machinery: 1,770 tons, 5.4 %
• Hull, Fittings & Equipment: 14,996 tons, 45.9 %
• Fuel & Stores: 3,934 tons, 12.0 %
• Miscellaneous Weights: 12,000 tons, 36.7 %
o Hull below water: 5,000 tons
o Hull above water: 3,000 tons
o On freeboard deck: 3,000 tons
o Above deck: 1000 tons
Overall Survivability and Seakeeping Ability:
• Wartime Survivability (non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
o 9,265.0 lbs / 4,202.6 kg = 85.79 x 6 " / 152 mm shells or 0.69 torpedoes
• Stability (unstable if below 1.00): 1.20
• Metacentric Height (G.M.): 5.7 ft / 1.7 m
• Roll Period: 15.5 seconds
• Steadiness – as gun platform (average = 50 %): 60 %
• Seaboat Quality (average = 1.00): 2.00
Hull Form Characteristics:
• Hull has a flush deck, a normal bow and a round stern
• Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.563 / 0.572
• Length to Beam Ratio: 8.75 : 1
• 'Natural speed' for length: 27.75 kts
• Power going to wave formation at top speed: 43 %
• Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 30
• Bow Angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 5.00 degrees
• Stern Overhang: 22.00 ft / 6.71 m
• Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
Fore end, Aft end
- Forecastle: 20.00 %, 38.00 ft / 11.58 m, 34.75 ft / 10.59 m
- Forward deck: 30.00 %, 34.75 ft / 10.59 m, 32.00 ft / 9.75 m
- Aft deck: 35.00 %, 32.00 ft / 9.75 m, 32.00 ft / 9.75 m
- Quarter deck: 15.00 %, 32.00 ft / 9.75 m, 32.00 ft / 9.75 m
- Average freeboard: 33.22 ft / 10.13 m
Ship Space, Strength and Comments:
• Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 45.4 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 244.9 %
• Waterplane Area: 47,870 square feet or 4,447 square meters
• Displacement Factor (displacement / loading): 210 %
• Structure weight / hull surface area: 183 lbs/sq ft or 895 kg/sq meter
• Hull Strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 1.45
- Longitudinal: 3.01
- Overall: 1.56
They have excellent machinery, storage, compartmentation space
They have excellent accommodation and workspace room
They are excellent seaboats, comfortable; they ride out heavy weather easily
Notes:
Overall depth of the hull is about 63.22 ft.
The depth, from keel to the lifeboat deck (2 decks above freeboard deck) is approximately 80 ft.
These two ships are the largest ships built for the Canadian merchant marine.
Miscellaneous weight breakdown: 12,000 tons
Cargo capacity – 2,000 tons
Passenger weights = 10,000 tons
• first-class = 4,500 tons
• second-class = 5,500 tons
First class passengers = 10 tons/guest = 450 1st class
Second class passengers = 10 tons/guest = 550 2nd class
Total passengers = 1000

Also, a couple questions for those evaluating...
1. How many decks (practical) could I put on these liners?
2. Any ideas for public rooms? Anything to make them stand out from the competition?
3. How many lifeboats should I put?
*Anything else you guys want to add concerning my ships is welcome...
