Folks:
Some items to invite comment on...
Capital Ships
The backstory provided to explain the retention of Markgraf, Prinzregent Luitpold, Helgoland and three Deutschlands seems to have been accepted as plausible. Would any other pre-dreads or coastal defense ships been retained for training purposes, etc?
Light Cruisers
To conform with Nordmark history:
-CL Bremse was historically scuttled at Scapa Flow; in our world, she was sunk by Nordmark light forces in the Baltic. I'll assume that Stuttgart took her place at Scapa Flow.
-Two unnamed CLs were sunk by Nordmark coastal defence vessels and CLs near the Eastern Front. I'll assume these were Pillau and Stettin (which, with the above, means I don't have to sim the Pillau and Stuttgart classes).
This leaves me with, as far as I can tell:
3 Emden class: Emden, Nurnberg, Konigsberg
2 Regensberg class: Regensburg, Graudenz
2 Stralsund class: Stralsund, Strassburg
1 Kolberg class: Kolberg
1 Leipzig class: Danzig
3 Bremen class: Hamburg, Berlin, Munchen
Of these, the last four are due for almost immediate replacement.
Destroyers
I'm finding destroyer nomenclature somewhat confusing, but at the moment, I've assigned the following:
6 S-113 type: These are assumed to have been completed in the last few months of the war; however, as the original design mounted 4x5.9", I'll be re-designing them to carrying a smaller caliber.
7 V-125 type: 3x4.1"
1 B-97 type: 4x4.1"
5 G-7 type: 2x3.4"
Plus 5 undetermined older units.
In the interests of my own sanity, these units will be re-named soon.
That's it for the moment...infrastructure to follow in a day or two.
