It has come to our attention that certain nations utilize a technology level on par with that realized by the Empire in the past, (OOC: or RL 1850-1950). This storefront shall be a way to sell naval arms to those nations.
Our inaugural design shall be that of the Imperator-class battleship.

Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 3,387 tons, 4.7 %
Armour: 25,299 tons, 34.8 %
- Belts: 5,500 tons, 7.6 %
- Torpedo bulkhead: 5,680 tons, 7.8 %
- Armament: 1,805 tons, 2.5 %
- Armour Deck: 12,314 tons, 16.9 %
- Conning Tower: 0 tons, 0.0 %

Hull, fittings & equipment: 33,471 tons, 46.1 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 6,595 tons, 9.1 %
Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %
Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
147,781 lbs / 67,032 Kg = 72.2 x 16.0 " / 406 mm shells or 34.5 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.61
Metacentric height 14.9 ft / 4.5 m
Roll period: 13.2 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 66 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.17
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.31
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
Block coefficient: 0.695
Length to Beam Ratio: 7.57 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 30.31 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 47 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 33.33 ft / 10.16 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 21.23 ft / 6.47 m
- Mid (50 %): 21.23 ft / 6.47 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 21.23 ft / 6.47 m
- Stern: 21.23 ft / 6.47 m
- Average freeboard: 22.20 ft / 6.77 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 65.1 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 162.6 %
Waterplane Area: 88,982 Square feet or 8,267 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 121 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 290 lbs/sq ft or 1,416 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 1.76
- Longitudinal: 1.40
- Overall: 1.48
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily
OOC: Alright, I admit it, this is a dastardly simple scheme to allow me to use Springsharp. But you've got to admit, it's a pretty darn good design... For 1950, at least. Don't worry, I'll save it in case anyone wants it in the distant future...
