Imperial Swedish Navy

Do I read that correctly, tripple 150mm on the same beam as an Halland class...... the destroyer?

That was the idea, I cant find any figuers on how wide the M/40 15,2cm tripple turret are

Ship design wise, you might run into some problems then.....
I am not familiar with the use of springsharp, but generally speaking this means she is unstable if her center of gravity is higher then that of an Halland class, the reaction to gun recoil might be not what you would want and as well.
looking in the springsharp report, the GM is on the low side (I expect it to be more then twice that before I count an vessel as possible, based on historical reference) and I do not know what Springsharp does with radars and future weight for AA margins, all which is added later on and raises the center of gravity?
as for the turret weight: the barbette is, as far as I can do in a quick estimate, slightly over 6 meters in width. (that is the 150/53 M1942, I know nothing of the M1940, the step goes from 150/55 M1930 to 150/53 M1942?) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/632 ... dracht.png

(This is not specifically aimed at you Psilander, but everyone who relies on Springsharp for their drawings.)

This is why I hate Springsharp. Any program stupid enough to allow you to have triple 6" on a 41 foot beam is completely ridiculous.

Please everyone, use a lot of common sense before relying on any figures given to you by a Springsharp report. If it has NOT been done in real life then there is probably a good reason for that.

If in doubt - ASK. There are plenty of people in Shipbucket who have knowledge of all things Naval.

Never, ever say, "Springsharp says I can".

For this - there is a large network of support members that give strength to the barbette that stop both the barbette and hull from twisting on recoil. Without it your guns are useless. You need enough breadth of hull at the point where you mount your turret/barbette for the strength beams to be fitted.

I had a quick look online for notes on the Emille Bertin which I remember reading was too lightly built for its triple 6" and had to be strengthened considerably. Bertin had a 16m (52.5 feet) beam.

the IJN Oyodo had triple 155mm guns and was 16,6m abeam, while the Tre-Kronor were 16,4m wide. I thus suspect that a bit over 16m is the minimum possible beam to safely mount a triple 6-inch turret (or more).

You shouldn't take its power claims as gospel either, especially with smaller ships.
I've been playing around with some hilariously overgunned torpedo boats recently and according to springsharp they need twice the installed power of similar real life ships. For example, the ~800t Danish Huitfeldt class had ~25khp for a top speed of about 36kt while Springsharp claims it needs 52khp.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

As with any limited computational tool, thoughtful use can teach the user something and careless use can confuse the user and lead them far from the truth.

Springsharp was designed and written basically for inter-war displacement hulls, with conventional hydrodynamics of the era, of the 5000-30000 ton sort of class. Deviation from the bounds for which the interpolants were constructed will necessarily lead the user astray, and it is up to the person running the program to know whether or not they're asking Springsharp something the latter is designed to compute to a reasonable degree of accuracy.

Garbage-in, garbage-out, as they say. I'm not going to throw PHM-1 data at the poor thing and then complain I get crap out the other end.

Oh certainly. I was just using it to calculate displacement but because of the grumblings we've had here on our little forum I thought I'd check just how wrong it would get.

I've bern using SS for many years and is quite familiar with the problems. This design actaually shows of some of the problems i.e the swedish Östergötland class had with top weight, or the german Karlsruhe had with stress on the hul, with triples on a narrow hull (15,3m). Her hull was even longer so it must have caused even more stress.

I think SS at least gives you a good hint if the design is plausible, it is better than not using it as we see lots of waco designs with tons of hugmungos guns...
