Just thinking of some of the major ships under construction: With a more stable situation in St Petersburg, I would expect the
Borodinos to be continued, and the Obukhov Works to be in a better state. Not that the Obukhov Works didn't struggle pre-war; they only built one 14in gun for the
Borodinos, while Vickers, contracted to pick up the slack, delivered 10 before the war. Russian industry did struggle with the
Borodinos somewhat, and post-war foreign help would be available to get them completed. The Russians produced the turbines for the
Ganguts, but they were of a lower power than those required for the battlecruisers, and turbines for
Navarin were ordered from the Germans. If Russian industry still has trouble once the war ends, turbines for all four could be ordered abroad. With the Obukov works better off, guns and mounting should still be possible, if delayed somewhat. If the delay is unacceptable, Vickers could build additional 14in guns.
The four
Svetlana cruisers should be completed for the Baltic Fleet as well.
In the Black Sea,
Imperator Nikolai I in the Black Sea should be completed as well. She's an improved
Imperatritisa Maria class, with a longer bow for increased buoyancy forward, and cemented armor and high tensile steel incorporated everywhere strength was required. I think all four
Admiral Nakhimov class cruisers in the Black Sea will be completed as well.
I would expect the Whiltes to have more pressing financial commitments, but I would expect construction to continue, albeit more slowly than in the Imperial era. Larger ships might get laid down in pairs instead of three or fours. I think White Russia gets invited to Washington, and gets French and Italian limits, as well as included in the clause to build 70,000 tons of 16in armed, 35,000 ton battleships. If that option is taken up, it could be something like
the Bubanov, Putilov or Black Sea concepts. One or more of the
Borodinos might be completed as an aircraft carrier. After the battleship holiday, I would expect the all-centerline distributed layout to be abandoned based on foreign developments, and superfiring turrets to be adopted in capital ships, at least as in the Putilov concepts.
My initial thoughts,
