Edit: oh yeah. One more thing.

Don't you prefer to have it a bit higher than that?

So she won't handle that well in a hurricane, that's a tradeoff that has to be made for the size restriction. And in reality, not every ship built was a good seaboat, and one might even say it's a bit unrealistic that there's little to no 'bad' seaboats in the sim.

I took off that one warning, because simming them as automatics causes them to weigh more, and better simulates that the guns are heavier than normal DP guns.

it was telling me I only needed 468 ft earlier. Now it's saying 470.75.

Probably because he wants to be able to fit through the Panama Canal, which has locks that are 110 feet wide.

Shows you that while the Wesworld Admirals are all bastards (except Ryoko), they are not heartless bastards and do think a little bit about the well-being of the sailors.

Weight more?? How much heavier do they get? When I tried it out with the Okuni and changed her 24 130mm guns from DP to Automatic, I went from an armament weight of 2094 tons to 2135 tons. That means an increase of about 1.7 tons per 130mm gun which is nothing on a ship of that size. Hull strength was 1.00 and stays 1.00. Of course a 130mm gun is not the same as an 140mm gun so I then changed those 130mm guns to 140mm guns to see what would happen but that doesn't make much difference either when I go from DP to Auto. Hull strength stayed the same at 1.00 with the 140mm guns.
Also, you're already simming triples as twins for additional weight. Wouldn't that be enough? Or did you have something else in mind and did my mind make the right assumption of "Automatic rapid fire guns" + "Automatic Dual-Purpose" = "Austomatic firing DP guns" when I read your ship data? (because that is how I read it).

No, that's incorrect. That's a tradeoff that has to be made for being able to achieve such speed.
You do not need a 40 feet freeboard when you lower the speed.

With the Mexican Canal being constructed, who cares about a limit of 108 feet?
... unless Canada plans to betray its allies by joining AANM, in which case he would no longer be able to use that Canal.

Misc. weight includes Sonar and ASW equipment, torpedoes, and the usual goodies.

Do medium caliber, automatic, dual-purpose guns not seem a decade or so premature?
