hmmm.... not intentionally, I think the draught is more important than length and beam for the baltic. The sailing depth of flintrännan is just 8m and I want my ships to be able to use it.

Very nice, I presume a larger class will follow the Sverige class?

Yes, there will be 3 divisions in the 'kustflottan' main flottila.
3 Sveriges
3 Nordstjernan battlecruisers (8x 12in, 20kton, 27kts)
3 Fädernäslandet superdreadnoughts (8x14in, 35kton, 25 kts)

Yes draugt sets the limit in the Baltic, but beeing too long can be a problem sometimes.. The main problem is if you are limit to say 7.5 metre draught normal load, the ship has to gain volume/ buoyancy by beeing longer and broader.... I think it will be hard to get a 35 000 tonner within 7,5-8 metre draught... You have to do some Springsharp black magic....

What´s the draught at full load? Have you tried to sim some real ship the same size?

I get the feeling that SS underestimates the draught.. IRL I´ve seen no dreadnought that has
a draught less than 8 metre except Orion-class. Offcourse you could travel the tight spots in light condition and then fuel up and load on other stores.

It´s always a tradeoff, sadly one can´t get everything in the same unit. Still a 3 division battlefleet i the Baltic backed by predreads/ later Coastal defense ships and lots of light units would crush the russisn>soviet navy and make the germans think twice before doing stupid things.

Really like the BC. Will her class survive through the 30´s? The brown line on parts of her deck would be teak right.


I´ve just found the solution to move the navy from coast to coast fast and safe. It involves all steamexcavators and barges you can find, all uneployed ( best done in the great depression of the 30,s) a whole lot of explosives and a lot of shovels. The make slight ;) adjustments to Göta kanal.... With enough effort this could be done in say 20 years starting before ww1. With all other traffic on the channel stopped, a battleship could make the trip in three days. Without danger of enemy attack or mines, this being true until after ww2 started....

Two of the BCs survive in to the Swedish "La Jenune Ecole" fleet in 1930s, forming a second squadron next to the Karl XIV Johan BCs.

Conserning Gota Kanal.... I think it is an interesting suggestion but way too expensive and unpractical....
