Monitor dla kolonii



Czas wrócić do tematu kolonii:) mamy tam wprawdzie parę kanonierek, ale żadnego prawdziwego okrętu opancerzonego. Jego namiastką może być niezbyt duży monitor, który dzięki małemu zanurzeniu mógłby swobodnie pływać po lagunach i estuariach w jakie obfituje wybrzeże Togo, które przypomnę – upatrzyłem sobie na jedną z naszych kolonii. Wybrzeże Liberii z kolei w takie atrakcje nie obfituje, dlatego okręty są tylko dwa – na potrzeby ochrony wybrzeża Togo. Wybrzeża Liberii mogą strzec okręty pełnomorskie..

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
    Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
      403 lbs / 183 Kg = 1,9 x 8,0 " / 203 mm shells or 0,4 torpedoes
    Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1,38
    Metacentric height 1,6 ft / 0,5 m
    Roll period: 10,6 seconds
    Steadiness    - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 28 %
            - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0,13
    Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 0,31

Hull form characteristics:
    Hull has a flush deck
    Block coefficient: 0,677
    Length to Beam Ratio: 4,35 : 1
    'Natural speed' for length: 11,76 kts
    Power going to wave formation at top speed: 36 %
    Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
    Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): -15,00 degrees
    Stern overhang: 0,00 ft / 0,00 m
    Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
       - Stem:        5,48 ft / 1,67 m
       - Forecastle (24%):    2,00 ft / 0,61 m
       - Mid (50%):        2,00 ft / 0,61 m
       - Quarterdeck (22%):    2,00 ft / 0,61 m
       - Stern:        4,49 ft / 1,37 m
       - Average freeboard:    2,61 ft / 0,80 m
    Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
    Space    - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 90,3%
        - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 23,2%
    Waterplane Area: 3 412 Square feet or 317 Square metres
    Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 86%
    Structure weight / hull surface area: 74 lbs/sq ft or 360 Kg/sq metre
    Hull strength (Relative):
        - Cross-sectional: 0,99
        - Longitudinal: 1,12
        - Overall: 1,00
    Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is adequate
    Room for accommodation and workspaces is extremely poor
    Ship has quick, lively roll, not a steady gun platform
    Caution: Lacks seaworthiness - very limited seakeeping ability
