Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is adequate
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather

Edit: The guns have now been moved to more aesthetical positions.

I like her with two reservations:

1) Hull strain should be fixed
2) I would personally lose the TDS in order to get the belt to fully protect magazines and engineering spaces

Other than that I like, and she's a beauty to boot!

Very, very nice...ironically (and funny) enough - but this is one I'll leave entirely up to you, Karle, is the fact that i notice that you can actually work in a sixth 6" gun amidships! Would not be straining the hull, nor would look bad...oh, and the forward conningtower should not be a freestanding structure. As it is now, it's completely worthless. You need to work it into the forward superstructure, otherwise - one hit or even blast from own guns - and conn's gone!

Karle94: Unless it's a destroyer or similar vessel, the HS should be 1.00. It's currently 0.86, not good, she'll be breaking even in moderate seas.

By removing the torpedo bulkhead, reducing the armor belt from 14,5 ft to 13 ft height, and taking off 1 inch of deck armor, it is now at 1.0. Adding another pair of six inchers will bring it down tp 0.98, so I am keeping her as she is now. I have extended the conningtower all the way down to the deck.

I am adding the 1910 Maine here so you don`t have to fo to previously posts to find her.

USS Maine in 1010:


Here is the 1915 version of the USS Augusta (ex-Maine) in 1915:

The Maine, or the Massachusetts?

Lol, I guess I wrote a little hastily...in this case I meant your Maine/Augusta.
