Does anyone have a source that quotes operating costs for predreadnoughts and dreadnought in the pre ww1 era.
I was thinking of an atl where Britain scraps 20 predreadnoughts (overtime) but pays for a significant amount of extra construction. I was wondering how many extra ships it would pay for. I know the capital costs but I can't find any sources on the operating costs savings.
If 20 doesn't work out I want to look at scrapping the predreads that were historically scrapped for monitor guns in 1915 in 19 stages between 1910 and 1914.
