Community Ship Designs

[Werwaz]

While we are waiting for in-game blueprint sharing, I figured I would make this for y'all so ship designs can be shared. Feel free to add your own ships that you have built. Ill add some of my own below. Try to add building instructions so others can replicate the design. Memeships and other clown car designs are totally allowed.

USS Hyperion

Construction Instructions:

Hull: Super Battleship, USA, 1940 tech

Modules: 109k tons, 28 knot top speed, long range, maximum bulkheads, oil 3 fuel, no boilers, diesel 2, auxiliary engine 4,shaft 3, Krupp 4, Barbette 4, antitorpedo 5, triple hull, reinforced bulkheads 2, antiflood 3, citadel 5, standard shells, standard ammo, TNT explosives, hydraulic turrets, standard reload, standard torps, 23 inch torps, stereo 5 rangefinder, no acoustics, advanced radio, gen 2 radar.

Armor scheme: 16.5" belt, 10" belt extended, 8.5" deck, 7" deck extended, 8" conning tower, 18.5" turret, 7" turret top, 5" secondaries.

Topside assembly:  

Place huge superimposed barbette on the rear mounting point closest to the center. Place Modern secondary tower 6 on the 21st mounting point from the rear, then place Modern tower 3 directly in front of it. Place 4 triple 17-inch turrets on the ship in AB-XY configuration. the muzzles of the superfiring turrets should be over the rangefinders of the turrets below. Place twin 6-inch guns on the mounting points on the superstructure, then place twin 2-inch on all of the circular mounts on the superstructure. Place underwater torpedo tube in prow of ship. Lastly, place 2 Mega funnel 3 on the superstructure.

Usage:

Hyperion is a good mid-range (±20km) combatant capable of destroying nearly all mid-size to large enemies. It sports heavy armor and extensive anti-torpedo protections but requires escorts to spot torpedoes due to its lack of a sonar station. A true titan by all definitions.

Armor scheme: 16" belt, 10" belt extended, 8" deck, 6.5" deck extended, 14" conning tower, 19" turret, 7" turret top, 6" secondaries.

Topside assembly:  

Place Modern tower 3 on the rearmost mounting point. place Tall sec tower 4 on the 4th mounting point from the rear. place a Huge barbette in between the two towers. place triple 18-inch turrets in an A-L-X configuration. place Mega funnel 5 on the main tower. place twin 4-inch gun on mounts next to the funnel. place twin 2-inch guns on remaining superstructure mounts. Finally, place 4 twin 6-inch guns along the barbette. 

Usage:

This design has not seen very much combat so far and needs more battle testing. It appears to perform best at mid to close ranges.

HMS Leviathan

Hull: Super Battlecruiser, British Empire, 1940 tech

Modules: 82.5k tons, 38.5 knot top speed, long range, many bulkheads, oil 3 fuel, no boilers, diesel 2, auxiliary engine 4,shaft 3, Krupp 4, Barbette 4, antitorpedo 3, triple hull, reinforced bulkheads 2, antiflood 3, citadel 5, standard shells, standard ammo, TNT explosives, hydraulic turrets, standard reload,  stereo 5 rangefinder, no acoustics, advanced radio, gen 2 radar.

Armor scheme: 15" belt, 9" belt extended, 8" deck, 6" deck extended, 15" conning tower, 17" turret, 7" turret top, 6" secondaries.

Topside assembly:  

Place Advanced sec tower 4 as close to the rear edge of the forecastle deck as possible, then place Advanced tower 4 directly in front of it. place 2 huge superimposed barbettes fore and aft of the superstructure. place twin 17-inch guns in an AB-XY configuration. place twin 6-inch guns on and in front of the side barbettes on the superstructure, then add twin 2-inch guns on the rest of the mounting points on the superstructure. Lastly, add Mega funnel 4 to the main tower and 2 Mega funnel 3 to the secondary tower.

Usage:

The Leviathan truly lives up to its name, prowling the ocean to smite the enemies of His Majesty with the power of the 17-inch gun. Extremely fast, well armed, and dangerous, the Leviathan is best used at short to medium range against smaller capital ships. Despite its great versatility, It performs poorly against more powerful capital ships like the Hyperion. In such situations it would be advised to use the ships ludicrously high speed to make a swift escape.

USS Macarthur

Hull: Heavy Cruiser 2, United States, 1940 tech

Modules: 21k tons, 32.5 knot top speed, very long range, maximum bulkheads, oil 3 fuel, no boilers, diesel engines 2, auxiliary engine 4,shaft 3, Krupp 4, Barbette 4, antitorpedo 4, triple hull, reinforced bulkheads 2, antiflood 3, citadel 5, standard shells, standard ammo, TNT explosives, hydraulic turrets, standard reload,  stereo 5 rangefinder, Sonar 3, advanced radio, gen 2 radar.

Armor scheme: 12" belt, 7" belt extended, 6.5" deck, 4" deck extended, 8" conning tower, 13" turret, 5" turret top, 4" secondaries.

Topside assembly:  

Place Modern tower 2 on rearmost mounting point, then place modern sec tower 1 directly behind it. place triple 11 inch guns in an AB-X formation. place twin 4-inch guns on secondary mountings. place twin 2-inch guns on circular mounts on superstructure. Lastly, place Advanced funnel 1 on both main and secondary towers.  

Usage: 

The first of a new series of "Universal ships", the Macarthur class is equipped to handle any threat except larger battleships. It possesses high speeds, good armor, and an excellent sonar system, along with 11 inch guns. It can be deployed by itself or as part of a larger fleet. The only conceivable counter to such ships would be something like the Leviathan class of the British Empire.

Ye, the last one however does show we could use some modern USA cruisers (I know i want old boags, but usa could do with new mexicos, californias, brooklyns, des moines, clevelands, witichas, baltimores etc.)

Tiequan

Hull: Modernized dreadnought, Chinese Empire, 1940 tech

Modules: 87k tons, 27.5 knot top speed, long range, maximum bulkheads, oil 3 fuel, no boilers, diesel engines 2, auxiliary engine 4,shaft 3, Krupp 4, Barbette 4, antitorpedo 5, triple hull, reinforced bulkheads 2, antiflood 3, citadel 5, standard shells, standard ammo, TNT explosives, hydraulic turrets, standard reload, stereo 5 rangefinder, sonar 1, advanced radio, gen 2 radar.

Armor scheme: 15" belt, 9" belt extended, 8" deck, 8" deck extended, 15" conning tower, 17" turret, 7" turret top, 6" secondaries.

Topside assembly: 

Place Englarged superimposed barbettes as close to the center as possible, then place Modern tower 2 and Modern sec tower 1 between them. Place 4 twin 17-inch guns in AB-XY configuration. Place 8 inch guns in casemate slots as well as twin 5-inch guns along superstructure, 3 per side and 6 twin 2-inch guns on superstructure. Lastly, place Super funnel large on superstructure.

Usage:

One of the few capital ships to survive the warlord era, Tiequan was supposed to be the flagship of Warlord Zhang Zongchang, until it was captured by the KMT while still under construction. Due to a shortage of materials, the ship remained unfinished for some years. After the Japanese invasion, it was evacuated to Australia along with the remnants of the Chinese fleet, where the ship was completed with surplus British parts, including a basic sonar and a tripod mast, as well as a funnel scavenged from a Japanese battlecruiser. Once complete, it should be able to effectively operate alone or with an escorting task force.

SMS Preussen

Hull: Dreadnought 3, German Empire, 1918 tech

Modules: 44k tons, 24 knot top speed, medium range, maximum bulkheads, oil 1 fuel, natural boilers, geared turbines, auxiliary engine 3,shaft 2, Krupp 3, Barbette 4, antitorpedo 3, triple hull, reinforced bulkheads 2, antiflood 3, citadel 4, standard shells, standard ammo, TNT explosives, hydraulic turrets, standard reload, stereo 3 rangefinder, no acoustics, no radio, no radar.

Armor scheme: 13" belt, 8" belt extended, 6" deck, 3" deck extended, 9" conning tower, 14" turret, 5" turret top, 1" secondaries.

Topside assembly: 

Place Rear tower 7 on the rearmost mounting point. place advanced tower 12 behind it. place 3 triple 14-inch guns in AB-X configuration. Place 6-inch casemate guns on all possible slots, as well as 3 2-inch casemate guns on the superstructure. Lastly, put Tall funnel 6 on the main tower.

Usage: 

SMS Preussen was completed in 1918 during the latter stages of WW1. Following the treaty, Germany was forced to limit the size of its navy to just a handful of battleships, but allowed to complete any battleships still under construction in exchange for scrapping 3 older battleships for each new one. As a result, Preussen and its sister ship, Thüringen, were the only dreadnought battleships in the German navy for some time. In their heyday, they were used as "fleet in being" ships, and often operated as the centerpiece of various task forces, until they were rendered obsolete by new-generation battleships in the 1930s. They were replaced in the superiority role by the Bismarck class and were relegated to shore bombardment duties. Following the end of WW2, Preussen was retired as a museum ship, while Thüringen was expended as a target ship, and sits at the bottom of the Chesapeake bay, where it can still be seen today.

HMS Dreadnought (not the real thing, this is a fictional design)

 

Construction Instructions:

Hull: Heavy Cruiser 1, British Empire, 1924 tech

Modules: 14.5k tons, 31.5 knot top speed, medium range, many bulkheads, oil 1 fuel, balanced boilers, geared turbines, auxiliary engine 2,shaft 3, Krupp 4, Barbette 4, antitorpedo 3, triple hull, reinforced bulkheads 2, antiflood 3, citadel 5, standard shells, standard ammo, TNT explosives, hydraulic turrets, standard reload, standard torps, 21 inch torps, stereo 4 rangefinder, hydro 3, advanced radio, no radar.

Armor scheme: 8.5" belt, 5" belt extended, 4" deck, 2" deck extended, 3" conning tower, 9" turret, 3" turret top, 2" secondaries.

Topside assembly:  

Place Rear tower 8 and Modern tower 2 in center of hull. place 4 double 9-inch guns in AB-XY layout. Place 6 double 4-inch guns on each side of the superstructure. Add  2 Large wide funnel on superstructure. Lastly, place a quad torp launcher on each side of the ship.

Usage:

Created in 1924 by the British to replace their existing armored cruisers with a more contemporary design, the Dreadnought heavy cruiser was renowned for its incredible reliability and durability, while also being easy to modify. Nearly three hundred of this type were produced from 1924 to 1945 and was used by most of the world's navies in some form, whether they be purchased, license built, or total ripoffs. In its heyday, the Dreadnought heavy cruiser was used for almost any job, and some of the first aircraft carriers were made from modified Dreadnoughts. By the end of the 1940s, the Dreadnought was gradually replaced by the newer Macarthur class ships built under license from the United States. Surplus Dreadnoughts are still commonly seen in the service of smaller navies who cant afford them newfangled universal ships.

USS Constitution

Construction Instructions:

Hull: Battleship 1, United States, 1890 tech

Modules: 16k tons, 18 knot top speed, medium range, many bulkheads, coal fuel, natural boilers, basic steam engines, no auxiliary engine, no shaft, compound armor, Barbette 1, no antitorpedo, single hull, standard bulkheads, no antiflood, citadel 1, standard shells, standard ammo, black powder explosives, hydraulic turrets, enhanced reload, no torps, no rangefinder, no sonar, no radio, no radar.

Armor scheme: 10" belt, 6.5" belt extended, 2" deck, 1" deck extended, 2.5" conning tower, 12" turret, 2" turret top, 3" secondaries.

Topside assembly:  

Place Cage mast and Rear tower 3 on their respective mounts. place 2 twin 12 inch guns in A-X formation. place 5 inch casemates in every available slot except the ones on the bow. lastly, add triple funnel on superstructure.

Usage:

Constructed to replace the original USS Constitution after it was lost in a freak accident, this USS Constitution did indeed have actual iron sides in the form of iron plate armor. Constitution was retrofitted in 1890 to fit a new cage mast and replaced the iron armor with compound plate. During the Spanish-American war, it participated in  the battle of Manila Bay, where it sank 2 armored cruisers. Constitution and all other contemporary battleships were made obsolete by the introduction of Dreadnoughts. It was then used to haul various presidents around the world until the early 1950s, then it was replaced by Air Force One in that role. USS Constitution was then decommissioned and made a museum ship a few years later.

Santa Maria: A cross-deck firing dreadnought on the Small Battleship hull, 1908. Forward superstructure is the best one available, back is Rear Tower 5, Medium funnel. I have gotten the perfect offset only once and since it works diagonally through the CoM seemingly, you can't deal with it fully on these ships usually (Having cross-deck mounting points would be really good, since you can only throw on 4 centerline turrets at this stage)

HIRMS Petropavlovsk

Construction Instructions:

Hull: Battleship 5, Russian Empire, 1903 tech

Modules: 19k tons, 18.5 knot top speed, medium range, many bulkheads, coal fuel, natural boilers, steam M-expansion engines, auxiliary engine 1, no shaft, Krupp 2, Barbette 3, antitorpedo 2, single hull, reinforced bulkheads 1, antiflood 2, citadel 2, standard shells, standard ammo, ballistite explosives, hydraulic turrets, standard reload, no torps, stereo 1 rangefinder, no sonar, no radio, no radar.

Armor scheme: 10" belt, 7" belt extended, 2" deck, 1" deck extended, 4" conning tower, 12" turret, 2" turret top, 3" secondaries.

Topside assembly:  

Place Front tower 3 and Rear tower 3 on their respective mounts. place 2 big funnel ahead of the rear tower. place a twin 11-inch gun on the bow deck, and another one as far back on the stern deck as possible. add 2 sets of side mounted twin 11 inch guns on the stern deck. Place twin 3-inch guns on all available mounts, as sell as casemate 3 inch guns in the hull. lastly, add 2 3-inch casemate guns behind rear tower.

Usage: 

Petropavlovsk was supposed the be the lead ship of a four ship class. Only Petropavlovsk was completed before the rest were canceled. It fought well against the German pre-dreadnoughts in the battles of the Baltic sea during ww1, even sinking two by itself. During the Russian Revolution, its crew stayed loyal to the crown and followed Admiral Kolchak to Vladivostok. Once the communists won though, the ship was partially scuttled to prevent the communists from using it. It was later raised by the Soviet Union and pressed into service during World War 2 in the defense of Leningrad, where it was sunk by a stuka dive bomber. It currently rests at the mouth of the harbor. Its remaining 11-inch turrets were removed and reused in land forts around the city, while the hulk was raised and scrapped after the war.

Topside assembly:  

Place Modern tower 1 and Modern sec tower 3 in the middle of the hull. Place Standard barbette for secondaries behind modern sec tower 3. Add a standard barbette behind the superstructure. Place 4 twin 14-inch guns in AB-XY formation. Add a total of 7 twin 6-inch guns, three on each side and one on the secondary barbette. Place six twin 3-inch guns on each side, then add 2 pairs of single 2-inch guns on the superstructure. Lastly, place Mega funnel 1 on main tower and 2 Advanced funnel 2 on secondary tower. 

Usage: 

The Basilisk class of battlecruisers were produced in a time when the US navy was sorely lacking in interdiction capabilities. Basilisk possesses a relatively high top speed and a set of 14-inch guns that are more than capable enough to deal with convoy raiders. Four ships of this class were produced and still serve today with some modernizations as second-rate capital ships leading small task forces where larger and more advanced warships are not necessary.

Bulk. 1, Anti Flood 2, Citadel 2, standard shells, Increased ammo, standard torp ammo, Ballistite explosives, electrical turrets, enhanced reloading, standard torp prop, 17 inch torps, Rng S-1 rangefinder

Armor scheme: 4" belt, 1.5" belt extended, 0.2" deck, 0.1" deck extended, 4.5" conning tower, 4" turret, 0.4" turret top, 0.3" turret top, 0.3" secondaries

Topside Assembly:

Place Front tower 2 farthest back possible, Place Rear tower 2 farthest front possible, place 2 standard funnels on the front two funnel locations as far front as possible, place 1 dual 9" Mark 3 gun as far front as possible, place another on the 3rd main armament spot at the stern, place 4" dual secondary guns on all locations available, then fill the rest with 2" dual secondaries and place single 2" secondaries on both towers, fill all available casemate spots with 5" casemate guns, place underwater torpedo tubes on all available mounts

Usage:

The Sachsen is a versatile raider, 2 knots faster than even the more modern Petropavlovsk and same speed as similar times battlecruiser like ships, outgunning everything faster and outrunning everything stronger. While it is not very heavily armored, it is still capable of taking a beating and with the modern 9" Mark 3 guns and the many secondaries and casemates she is very much capable of sinking anything except battleships. And the 17" torpedoes, while they dont have much range, are still useful against stopped targets. And due to the increased ammo it can fire for a very long time.
