Rebuilding old Battleships

[Shark7]

Or...how to make a turn of the century ship useful as a training ship and coastal gunboat.

Got to playing around with Settsu in Springsharp and the editor, just to see what it could look like if kept in commission and used for training or last ditch defense.

As we all know, Settsu ended up being sunk as a target ship due to the Washington Naval Treaty. However, what would be a plausible refit if that hadn't been necessary.

So basically, I took the Settsu, kept her in pretty much the same configuration that she was in, but did the following: removal of all the 6" casemate mounts, removal of the 18" torpedo tubes, addition of a very limited AAA suite using 2 Pounders. The original 4.7" and 3" guns were retained, along with the 12" guns (and yes, the differing gun length calibres are correct).

Any Comments?

Actually, the 30cm/45 weapons were all on the wing turrets (LS and RS).

If this is meant to playable against the Jap AI, you might want to make her a PG, so the AI doesn't accidentally stick her in the battleline.

Yep, that is an old fashioned typo. I'll be sure to rearrange that correctly.

PG it is, did the other relics as PGs, again, another typo.
