Goryo - 14.03.2011

Zainspirowany pomysłem Furashity przedstawionym tu: http://www.combinedfleet.com/furashita/goryo_f.htm (stamtąd też pochodzi rysunek) postanowiłem go sobie zasymulować w springsharpie. Efekt – poniżej. Ma to być kolejne wcielenie krążownika mającego zwalczać inne jednostki tej klasy nadzwyczajnej wielkości działami czy ewentualnie ostrzeliwującego cele lądowe. Zapewne nie sprawdziłby się w walce (podobnie jak realnie istniejące brytyjskie odpowiedniki z końca Pierwsze Wojny Światowej, od których w sumie w niczym nie jest lepszy) ale byłby to okręt całkiem urodziwy (jak zresztą chyba wszystkie japońskie konstrukcje..)

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
    Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):

    Metacentric height 4,2 ft / 1,3 m
    Roll period: 14,4 seconds
    Steadiness    - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 40 %
            - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,84
    Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 0,65

Hull form characteristics:
    Hull has a flush deck
    Block coefficient: 0,548
    Length to Beam Ratio: 9,33 : 1
    'Natural speed' for length: 25,58 kts
    Power going to wave formation at top speed: 54 %
    Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
    Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 19,00 degrees
    Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m

    Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
