Jefferson Class Nuclear Powered Battleship

USS Jefferson

Displacement: 80,000 tons standard; 87,000 tons fully loaded
Length: 1,047ft
Beam: 121 ft
Powerplant: 4 A2W Nuclear reactors
Armament: 12x 20 inch guns, in 3 gun turrets; 10x dual mounted 5 inch guns; 20x quad mounted 40mm AA guns; 10x .50 cal MG
Armor: To defeat 20'' shells
Speed: 34 knots
Crew: 1,500 officers and men

The first nuclear powered vessel launched for the US Navy in ME7. Despite the accelerated tech devolpment(the ship was launched in the late 40s) the aircraft carrier had not yet asserted itself as the dominant means of naval conflict. Thus the battleship era last longer. The Jefferson (named after the state not the president) class was designed to compliment a whole plethora of nuclear powered ships, designed to work together in a single task force. She and her sister ships (Ohio, Lewis, Vermont) gave good account of themselves in the Japanese-American War of 1953, and later in the Chinese Wars of Independence. In the Great Drakan War, Jefferson and Vermont were both sunk by aircraft in the beginning stages.


Very cool. ME7 forever! So, why do you posit that carriers wouldn't develop as quickly? I'd say by the 1920s airplanes would have caught up to OTL standards, and the airships would start to enter a period of very slow decline. I'd say in the 1953 war you posit that it would have been shown that the carrier age was upon us, if nothing else did in the interim.

Hmmm, maybe New Granada would have gone along with an extended era of the battleship. Can aircraft carriers transit the Panama Canal?

So, a Japanese American War in 1953? That would have pulled in all of the Americas on the Japanese...would likely have been a rather brutally short war, with the Japanese getting hit very hard indeed unless they had some powerful allies.

Chinese wars of independence sound cool, and would have been fought at what approximate tech level, 1990s?

Great Drakan War? Sounds interesting, but coming at such a late period, unlikely. The ME7 Draka would have either entered into a long period of decline, much like the Soviet Union of OTL, or undergone heavy reform (or even revolution) that would make it a more respectable member of the international community. And in any event, they would have had nuclear weapons by that time, at least. MAD for an isolated African nation seems extreme....
 
*bump*
A little something I threw togeather... got the parts over at the warship1 discussion board.
More or less just an attempt to adapt an OHP class FFG to take Mk 41 VLS cells...

Not to nitpick a excellent picture but...
You should have placed the after mast/radar ahead not aft of the stack.
The radar will be in the exhaust of the turbines.
 
Well...

The radar will be in the turbine exhaust, but designers make mistakes--and repeat them.
HMS Dreadnought has this problem. It was corrected in follow-on ships-then recurred later, IIRC because the mast placement would allow for easier handling of the ship's boats!
Not every ship is perfect, and designers make some dumb mistakes!

Yeah thanks I had better revise that...
 
Two proposals:
Rorqual-class. Starting point is USS Dolphin (SS-169) of 1932. Date: 1939. Displacement: 1544 tons surfaced/2240 tons submerged (Subsim's seem a trifle off to me.) Weaps: 2x4"/50cal (relying on port & starboard TBTs, rather than OTL fore/aft, plus special cams for the TDC), 2x40mm, 16x21" TT (8 fwd/8 aft, 40 Mark 10 torpedoes {30 forward, 22 aft}, plus 24 Mk 12 mines {all aft); optionally, 60 mines, all aft) (This relies on ahistorical torpedo racks, like the SSNs. I imagine 2 additional "chin" TT fore & aft, plus rearrangement of equipment for aft 6 TT.) Length: 308' w/l Beam: 27' 9" Draft: 15' Power: 5400hp diesels (4x1375hp Winton 278s), 2750hp motors (These are OTL.) Crew: 5 officers, 80 enlisted. Range: 15000nm @12 knots (Subsim overstates this by almost 50%.); submerged range unchanged. Max speed: 20 knots surfaced, 8 submerged. Test depth: 400 feet. Equipped with SD air warning radar. (War adds SJ surface search & ST periscope sets.)

And:
PC-70 class. Date: 1940. Displacement: 50 tons. Length: 80' Beam: 40' Draft: 3' (This presumes catamaran.) Weaps: 1x57mm (bow), 2x40mm Bofors (1x2, aft), 8x12.7mm Browning (2x4, beam, cockpit), 8xMark 6 DC (stern racks), 4x21" deck TT (Mk 11 torpedoes); some British boats carry RN/FAA Mk12s in drop collars. Power: 2x1375hp Winton 278 diesel (in hulls). Range: 1000nm @10kt. Max speed: 60 knots (new) Crew: 3 officers, 17 enlisted. (War adds SO surface-search/gunnery radar.) Splinter cockpit armor. Hull is 1" mahogany.

HMS Dominion. Affectionately named as one of the 'Baby Hoods', she carried four fifteen inch guns and could manage thirty knots.*​

Here's one
HMS Kitchiner.PNG

HMS Kitchiner

Class: Admiral/Commander Class Battlecruiser

Builder: Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. Ltd., Govan, Scotland

Ordered: 11 March 2039

Laid Down: 18 Febuary 2041

Launched: 10 August 2042

Commissioned: October 8th 2022

Struck: 2073

Fate: Scrapped

Built as part of the RN's Heavy Ship Aquisition Programme to counter Chinese Expansionism, she was launched in parralell with the Ark Royal Class Carriers, and the Monarch Class Battleships.

The first ship launched sine the Alaska Class 100 years yearler to be armed with 12 inch guns, her design owed much to secret technology gaind from the collapse of the United States.

When World War 3 began in 2048, she was deployed with HMS Glorious's battlegroup, itself attached to the Far Eastern Fleet in Singapore

With the virtual 5 year stalemate, she was mostly layed up in harbor, and participated in little figthign, making only 3 sorties for the duration of that period.

But when the great chinese offensives of 2055 began, she was immediatly deployed to the First Battle Cruiser Squadron under Admiral Geddes, which sailed immedialty north to counter any attack by the Thai navy, which was split between the Netralists, Allies, nad communsit symperphysers.

She participated in the battle of the South China sea 5 days later, when the RN with French and New eland Help attempted to intercept the chinese reliveing force sent to resuply chinese troops makign thier way down the malayan penninsular.

She barly managed to escape, and took around 2 dozon sor so hits.

Limpigng back into singapore, she took part in the evacuation of the Malayan penninsular, then in the Operation Sextant, the disasterous attepmt to relive Paupua New Guiniea from chinese invaion west from Iraian jaya, then in the invasion of Australia when she bombarded chinese troops in and around the townsville carins area.

When the Chinese were kicked out of Australia, and the allies whent on the offensive, she served on in Veitnam, Korea, and the invasion of china itself, Bombarding Shanghai.

After the war was over, she continue to serve, bringing the troops home after demobalisation, up was struck from the navy list in 2073m and scraped later that year.

What nations would still be using catapult aircraft rather than V/TOL? Also that forward phalanx gun should be moved to atop the bridge and it will have better firing arcs and less likelihood of being lost either to heavy seas or gun blasts.

It's from and alternate, not future history. Sorry about the gun.
 
USS New Hampshire

At the time of the Washington Naval Treaty, each signatory was allowed to retain a limited number of predreadnoughts for trade protection, coast defence, and other roles. They could be refitted and rebuilt, but not replaced. In the mid 1930's, the USA, seeing a need for some fast ships that could obliterate enemy cruisers, took the USS New Hampshire in hand for a rebuild. The rebuild was actually a cover for scrapping the old ship in place, and building a new ship that (more or less) complied with the treaty limits.
NewHampshire1939.jpg


Displacement ~19500 tons
Length: 580 feet
Beam: 84 feet
Draft: 28 feet

Armament from rebuild through December 1939

4 12”/50 Mk 7’s in two gun turrets, 45 degree elevation
20 5”/38 Mk 12’s in 9 turrets
Assorted machine guns

The 10 5” turrets are laid out 4 per broadside, plus one superimposed aft, and another one forward. The forward 5" twin turret is mounted on a barbette suited for another 2 gun 12" turret. (Treaty restrictions permit only 4 12" guns on the retiained predreadnoughts--but someone decided that that doesn't prohibit preparing to mount more.)

Armor: 9” belt, 12” turrets, 12” conning Tower, Deck 3”

Machinery: Geared turbines, 120,000 HP provides 30 knots
Cruising Radius: 13,000 miles at 15 knots

Aircraft: 3 aircraft, 2 catapults. No hangar

In 1939, shortly after her comissioning, she was severely damaged. While under repair, the international situation deteriorated enough that the third 12" turret was mounted.
NewHampshire1941V2.jpg

Displacement ~19500 tons
Length: 580 feet
Beam: 84 feet
Draft: 28 feet

Armament from January 1940 through Vietnam

6 12”/50 Mk 7’s in two gun turrets, 45 degree elevation
(February 1939—January 1940, 4 12” Mk 50’s)
18 5”/38 Mk 12’s in 9 turrets
(February 1939—January 1940, 20 5”/38’s)
Assorted machine guns
(Equipped with 20mm Oikerlon machine guns for evaluation in October, 1941

The 9 5” turrets are laid out 4 per broadside, plus one superimposed aft.

Armor: 9” belt, 12” turrets, 12” conning Tower, Deck 3”

Machinery: Geared turbines, 120,000 HP provides 30 knots
Cruising Radius: 13,000 miles at 15 knots

Aircraft: 3 aircraft, 2 catapults. No hangar

As the war progressed, the light anti-aircraft armament changed constantly.

Anyone interested in her career can find several threads on the Naval Fiction Board.

Interesting, tho farfetched idea. The US should keep all those Arkansas class monitors and just refit and 'rebuild' them also.

Luckily by 1922 the British have only retained HMS Agamemnon, and all the others have been scrapped by then.

Don't see the purpose for the aft 16in turret since it has such terrible firing arcs. Is that a hanger at the end stern of the ship? I would think that it would terribly weaken the stern - any damage could probably cause it to snap off.

It would be more realistic - if one can put it that way - to delete 'Y' turret and dedicate the entire aft portion to the airwing and delete 'A' turret and replace that with the VLS.

There wouldn't be any reason for the ship to carry 1050 rounds - it would be more realistic to expect something closer to 100 rounds per turret in peace time. The life-span of the gun barrel liner isn't even anywhere close to 1050 rounds.
 
Before the first of the Congress class armored cruisers was even completed, the United States discovered that Great Britain's new Invincible class armored cruiser was going to be armed with 12 inch main guns. This led to the canceling of further Congress class cruisers and a new design being laid down armed with 12 inch guns to match the Invincible.

Being substantially more powerful than even the preceding class and with the intention that they would stand in the main battle-line with the battleships if needed, the new ships were designated Battle-line Cruisers instead of Armored Cruisers. This would later be simplified to Battlecruisers.
