Isn't that the exact same hull as your frigate?

Inasmuch as the vessel would have to slow or stop every time it needed to recover its aircraft, wouldn't the speed implied in the International Frigate design be wasted? Or does the reworking of the superstructure imply a reduction in the powerplant?

Because of the wider hull I'm pegging speed at about the high-20s/low-30s range.
Anyway, I guess I'll put it through SS.

Hi!
Those two funnels make her look like a liner...... They are just a bit low.
And I wonder if her engine is so big she really needs two?
Otherwise, very nice drawing.

For the same price you could convert a pair of merchant ships and get both more vessels and a roomier hull. If you're looking for a new-built, certainly a sistership to the Jianghu would be a better choice, I'd say.
You'd also need a lot more weight for those seaplanes. 50 tons will probably only cover the weight of the planes themselves. You should assign at least 25 tons per plane.

Hi Brock, sure if i look for a new-built the Jianghu will get a sister .
The Do-22 has a max. start-weight of 3,7tons, also the Ar-196 !! So i think 50tons for 8 seaplanes are enough to simulate the planes. The bombs etc. are in the list !!! Also there is a "puffer" of ~ 500 tons. But may be i'm unrealistic !! I'm not an aircraft expert. So please tell me, what does the 25tons should represent if i will take it for the weight of a single aircraft.

(In addition, allow at least 25 tons per aircraft, i.e., if miscellaneous weight is just 100 tons, your ship can carry 4 planes, not 10.)

Hmmm, well, I can change things here and there as requested.
Anyway do you still want me to draw a top view? It's supposed
to have two catapults, but looking at it, I think I better stagger
them anyway. And the airplane crane might be a bit excessive.
Also, uhhh...torpedoes? :confused:
