Shipbucket

It is a my first Battleship shipbucket.
In 19C, Korea was called Chosen, and King Go-Jong had changed the country name to "Imperial of Korea"
But Imperial of Korea was colonialized by Imperial of Japan.

This ship was plannd by me.
"if the Imperial of Korea was alive and go advanced with other country, this battleship was build by "Imperial of Korea."

Ship data
load displacement : 49,260 ton
whole length : 243m
whole width : 36m
horsepower : 115,000HP
maximum speed : 28 knot
cruising speed : 25 knot
weapon : 16 Inch main gun X 10 (two twin gun and two triple gun)
13.3cm secondary gun X 16
40mm anti-air gun X 40
12.7mm machine gun X 10
2 hydroplane
armor : side 340mm
deck 190mm
turret 406mm
bridge 406mm
price : $59,238,000

Hm. IMHO, the rear turrets are too far to rear. The ship would have a roll on the stern.

The catapult is pretty weird placed . Especially when you have a wide space between the superstructure.

And light AA guns on bow and stermn would be destroyed during any chase or retirade fire.

thanks you about your advice. I will get better next time.

When was it built ? (looks late 30s to me)

May 1940.

More correct would be Empire of Korea and Empire of Japan.

Your data sheet says she carries sixteen 133mm guns but I only see twelve...

Four twins per side if I'm not mistaken. 4x2x2=16

Source Materiel is always welcome.

Most battleships of that era had some form of AA on the bow and stern, my one point is not having them that close to one another, they seem to be a crowded

Hi hoome,

Looks like a nice ship, but in addition to the other comments I have a couple, if that's OK?

Firstly, can you confirm how many shafts this ship has? It looks like a three-shaft layout, however, the only navy that really went for that was the Kriegsmarine and they suffered for it - both the Lutzow and the Prinz Eugen suffered severe damage aft that certainly wasn't helped by the design compromises forced by a three-shaft layout.

The spotting top looks quite large - anything up that high will have a disproportionate effect on the ship's stability.

Lastly, the rear rangefinder - the one just in front of the 'X' turret - I'm not sure, but I think it can't actually see backwards - if you lift it up a little (or make the turret design a little less tall) it'll be able to see past the turret.

Regards,
Adam
