Just a note here; if you think it'd look better with or without some aspect I'd be happy to make more versions.

Summer, 1890, Design Phase.

As expected from the peasant republic of the north, they seem to have no respect for our customs, or our nation. And, with their stupidity and absurd claims, its only inevitable for them to do something stupid that causes a border clash, or something else that can only be able to be responded to with a deceleration of war. At least we can knock their old navy down a peg in the process...

With a few bribes and intelligence gathering, we have come into the knowledge, with the help of the Nemorland press, that the enemy navy currently consists of about fifteen to twenty eight vessels. Admittedly, we'd like more, like what types of ships, the exact number, and so on, but our intelligence services are going through major reform and are quite small at the moment, mostly dedicated to preventing the Nemor's doing the same. But, it's certainly better than nothing. Though, at least it tells us that they don't have the massive numbers we originally expected.

Despite the new status of our navy. Our ships have been given the chance to work up before the war, and have green crews. They will do in a pinch, but they could be better...


Despite the peace time, with conflict clearly starting, our funding is fairly large. Additionally, with our economy, we have a bit extra in terms of cash flow to fund our armed forces, though the army seems to be benefiting more than us. 45 PP

"Lorem" Smokeless Powder Design:

After our most recent gunnery exercises many higher ups in the department if the navy have noted that our current Brown Powder propellent is underpowered to send the shells used by our ship mounted guns. Thus the chemists of the royal court have come together and presented to the department of the navy "Lorem" Smokeless Powder.
It is a compound consisting of 58% nitroglycerin by weight, 37% guncotton and 5% petroleum jelly. The compound is extruded as spaghetti like strings for smaller, rifle rounds and in large cylinders ranging from 1-8"in diameter and 6" in length, the diameter depending on the size of the shell is will propel.

Face hardened armour(harvey armour)
Face hardened armour is a new type of armour that has the benefits of the now obsolete compound armour while be made of a single armour plate. This is done be a process called face hardening where the face surface of the armour plate is covered in charcoal and heated for 2 to 3 weeks increasing the carbon content of one side of the plate before being quenched ine oil and than water. This leaves a plate with a hard face to shatter impacting shell while also having a tough and amaluable back to minimize the risk of the armour plate shattering or spalling and with a single armour plate which removes the risk of armour plates separating like compound armour.

Wait, six dice.  So one project and three revisions/requisitions?  Or two projects only?

Uthtrott Naval Drill School

A 4 week boot camp in a rural coastal location, Uthtrott cove.  Designed for officers and dirty peasants.. I mean enlisted.. alike, it comes with mock ups of various classes of ships, a live fire gun range, an old corvette designed to rock back and forth like a stormy sea, a swimming course and a marine combat training course.  Experienced sailors and drill sergeants will put the green landlubbers through 4 weeks of training so intense they will be glad to step onto a real warship.

Harvey Armor (0)
   -as a second design (1): ConscriptFive

So as I said before, I'm willing to take a beating this turn with the fire control system, to get another project cooking sooner.  The propellant and armor are independent enough to run parallel.  Two designs and no revisions is what I'm voting for.
