Here we go, into the Way Back machine.



Borneo Class
Commissioned:
-TNS Borneo (C-1)
-TNS Sulawesi (C-2)
-TNS Makassar (C-3)
-TNS Boni (C-4)
-TNS Tomini (C-5)

Lost:
Boni, Tomini (both Jutland), Sulawesi (Makassar Strait, 1942)

Preserved: Borneo (Quervo City Naval History Museum), Makassar (Makassar Strait Naval War Memorial.)

Length: 500 Feet

Beam: 49 feet, 8 inches

Draught: 22 feet

Armament:
As Built:

8 x 6" Mk. VII Main Battery

10 x 3" QF guns

4 Torpedo Tubes

Propulsion:Geared Steam Turbines, Oil fired boilers (Parsons machinery)

Speed: 23 knots

Crew: 670

Ships are named for islands or major bodies of water in and around Tequilapoli.

3 ships survived World War I, and were laid up in the 1930's. In 1940, the three surviving vessels were recommissioned, modestly modernized, and put into home-waters service with the Tequilapoli Naval Militia.

Looks good but seems pretty long and empty in the middle. Funnels could maybe be thinner and taller but maybe thats just personal preference

References and feedback is always welcome!

The funnels are too thick and too low. The funnels should be taller than the bridge.

thank you for the feedback!
I think I'm going to go with three narrower, taller funnels.

This class represents Tequilapoli's first major independant shipbuilding endeavor. Prior to laying these ships down shortly before WWI, Tequilapoli's major warships were built in England or the U.S. Their service history is long, extending as far as the 1940's with the Militia, but after the Great War they were considered to be too fragile for future use as a first-line warship.
