Thank you.

..... which proves nothing still, as this ship would have been laid down in 1903. keep in mind that the gangut was based on the dantes design.

What ship would have been laid down in 1903? I thought I had been clear it was laid down initially in 1908.

A failure, but still an interesting design...

Failure? Care to elaborate?

Well, you did tell us it SAS intended to be the pride of the fleet but it ended up as a second rank station ship.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

ah. thought maybe he was referring to the design itself as a failure, and not the backstory part of it.

Mostly the backstory, but you did mention it has battlecruiser-level armor but only battleship speed...

fiddled with springsharp again, this time with the Sanxay Straits. Seems she's not such a bad ship after all.

You beat me to it, I also wanted to try and SS her.

I do note the 1912 engines and a laydown date of 1910. Shouldn't that be a laydown date of 1908? I can go with 1912 engines as construction was suspended and one would assume newer and better engines would be installed before resuming construction. As the Main Battery guns were hand-me-downs those dates should be earlier though.
