One must also find out what the workers who were NOT working on the Graff Zepplin were doing when you set them to work on a third battleship and where all the armor plate is coming from,a battleship taking a lot more armor plate than a carrier.The usual what doesn t get built.

they had lots of practice with all those big siege cannons.......later could be used to move the Mause around.

The first step towards rehabilitation is admitting one has a problem.:p

HMCS Port Arthur being side launched into the drydock at Port Arthur Shipyards Sept 1941.One of 9 corvettes and 30ish minesweepers built at Port Arthur(now Thunder Bay).

ummmmm.no.Assuming the Canadian Government was willing to pay for domestic production then about the only things needed to be imported was plans.In OTL when push came to shove about 120 corvettes,70 frigates and 4 tribal class destroyers were built during ww2.the tribals costing 4x what the ones...

So basically tiny country "I" run by an incompetent fool takes over tiny country "SA" which just so happens to contain one of the worlds largest collections of oil thereby wrecking the economies of the worlds industrial economies.i wonder what happens.rest of world goes o my can we please talk...

The iron ore dock in thunder bay,the cute little boat on the right side of it is about 760 feet long.Built 1942/44.

Iron ore from both the US and Canada.That one lock opened up all the great lakes except for lake ontario until the Welland canal was enlarged to the current seaway standard in 1932. Soo Locks:1881 515x80x17 1896 800x100x21 1914 1350x80x24 1919 1350x80x24 1943 800x80x29.5 1968...

OTL had Canada paying for app 70% of the C$470million cost.I will guess and say what was built in Canada was paid for by Canada and what was in the US was paid by the US.Makes sense.And i think the soo locks were the largest in the world at the time.The soo locks were the longest but not the...

It was first agreed to in 1932 but the US senate didn t get the 2/3 vote to pass.wasn't ratified until the Canadian government told the US it was going ahead with or without them.The welland canal portion was finished in 1932.

An American design wouldn't happen.If it's being built to naval standards then buying them from the UK would occur.Anything built in Canada would be to commercial specs and preferably small enough to fit in the lachine canal so max 269 feet less a bit at either end.This gives room for a castle...

The RCN brass were basically clones of the RN and interoperability is a big thing.....one could leach off the RN's world wide supply system.

About the treasury class.Senators Smoot and Hawley pretty much killed any chance of that happening.I give you one guess as to which country suffered the most from their act.

Building castle class size would allow shipyards on the great lakes to be involved,frigate size could go to salt water shipyards and maintenance vessels (Vickers in Montreal would be best)would be for supporting fleet carriers(more of a proof of concept before spamming them.All could be done...

Deviousity would be in order.Corvettes and frigates would be exempt and so would escort carriers...oh I mean depot ships for maintaining aircraft...really.Destroyers would take longer because of turbines (otl had the first tribal built in Canada halted for a year waiting for turbines)and the use...

really depends when they start and what gets built.With 30% unemployment in 1933 and not much less in 39 manpower isn t a problem.Anything built to merchant standards is much easier whereas the Tribals require steel from England .With a long enough prewar start all the issues encountered during...

there were two others......but generally they wouldn t build in a dry dock.
