Your Nations Warships, MKII

[Oaledonia]

Mogami was a garbage cruiser.

It was one of my favorite,

I just don't know why I like it but I just do,

Just as my liking for Sushi

I can't really explain it, I just do.

Honestly my Mogami-class is 100000000 better.

I don't phish-posh my names, being Not!Japan means that I use only IJN and JMSDF names. Most ships are named after natural occurrences and weather.

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

What nation has the simplest hull classification symbols? I'm totes just going to bum their system.

1. Oh my gesus what is that from? KAWAII

2. Several of our ship classes are retaining their original name such as the Thor, Arbiter, Mother Born

USA~

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

Oh. It's all one big thing.

Ffffffiiiiiiine we'll do it the hard way.

No, sorry, I think you misread. I said simple. :')

You aren't going to use them all anyways.

No, but I'm still going to have to go through and see what I will use. Then I'll have to make a few hulls for each class. classes for each hull type.

I may use the USA system as I do not have one as of yet, and it is right there you know.

Just for the time being, or forever idk.

[Zerinfriom]

And I may already have a few or more of the type hulls filled out.

As a gift, have a huggable

It is simple.
CV = carrier
CG = cruiser
DD = destroyer
FF = frigate
SS = submarine

Adding a 'G' on the end denotes that it is a guided missile ship (CG is already a guided missile cruiser. I forget what the designation for a gun cruiser is), so you'd have DDG and FFG.

Adding an 'N' on the end denotes a nuclear powered ship. (CVN, CGN, SSN)

For subs, SS means an attack submarine, SSG = guided missile sub, SSB = ballistic missile sub. An 'N' again indicates a nuclear powered ship. (SSGN, SSBN)

I've understood that part for ages. What always gets me is the Ls. Specificall the diffrences between LHD, LHA and LPH.

I think you confuse "huggable" with "fuckable"

'Til the Soviet Navy stumbles in with TARKR, TAKR, BPK, MPK, EM, RKR, SKR, et cetera... though PL/PLA/PLARK/PLARB is at least similar to SS/SSN/SSGN/SSBN.

I've understood that part for ages. What always gets me is the Ls. Specificall the diffrences between LHD, LHA and LPH.

IIRC one of them carries helicopters on the deck while another has space to store them in a hangar. That's about as far as I got.

[Consortium of Manchukuo]

It didn't because it had more then two, and two different kinds.
I'm also a stickler for naming conventions.
What are your ship names ans why? Just curious.

I intend to name a carrier Death From Above. Accompanied of course, by the submarine Death From Below.

I also like the name Traffic Cop for a carrier, in reference to the "speed limit enforced by aircraft" signs.

My navy does similar similar names to that since we never discard names, due to battle honors being associated with the names rather than the ships, and when a lot of the initial names showed up the government's name was different. And it is fond of cliche topics and tends to repeat them. As a result there are numerous names with just minor modifications upon them.

So there is Triumph of the Republic, Honor of the Republic, Glory of the Republic, but also Triumph of the Consortium, Honor of the Consortium, Glory of the Consortium and other things where ships that were named after the Republic then get their Consortium named ships later, but the original names are never abandoned. Although they do get modified with additional stuff added on since the navy uses Not:English and Not:French as the bilingual tongues(With a bit of modifications but they're still functionally very similar), so all the ships name are English-French in the title, therefor Triumph of the Republic becomes Triumph of the Republic-Triomphe de la République. It gets worse concerning when we have to do battle flags with the names of where the ships with the same name fought in several battles with long names, we generally have to go for two flags in that case.

Previously it was traditional that names weren't transferred between classes and new naval naming conditions were come up with and the previous identifications didn't match the new classes, but luckily that tradition got mostly broken half a century ago or so. We were never going to run out of frigate names but there was never going to be a destroyer with any sort of battle honor attached to it.

LHA generally has some basic form of launching offensive forces, LHD's have a flight deck nominally with a focus of rotor wings and are pretty much like a LHA but with a significant well deck and emphasis on such as a form of deploying its embarked forces. LPH is more of less a Helicopter carrier which had a amphibious usage, its an old therm that's been mainly replaced with the previous two

I hope your ship identification numbering system isn't that much of a headache.

It is a pretty boring ship class acronym + ship number system, recycles out previous ship numbers when they're retired and brings in new ships to replace them.

That seems convoluted....

[Roski]

How can I use a Seahawk in a dedicated anti-warship role, and likewise could I use a Seahawk to board (and presumably take) a wounded ship?

Assuming you're hunting lightly armed combatants and civilian registered ships, yes, a lot of navies already do that

A bit, but it fits into the general theme of things of liking to recycle stuff over and over again, and ships being represented as part of their predecessors rather than their own units alone.

I would be attempting to take either an Aircraft Carrier or a Destroyer, given the nature of my military.
And it would be with more than one seahawk, and the enemy Navy (for me to even attempt it), would have to either be sinking or have already sunk, or so badly damaged that very few of the weapons work.
