Hello all,
Okay, I'm trying to get a handle on the capital ship design sequence and Step 1, p. 69, has got me more dazed and confused than usual. I figured out the base Armor tons fairly easily. Unfortunately, coming up with the cost has me stumped. The cost equation in the example looks like this:
MCr (75,000/2 x 1.1 x 10/6) MCr 6,875
I think that there are 3 parts to the cost equation above which are broken down into the following items:
Base Armor Cost by section: 75,000/2
Base Hull Cost =75,000
Hull Section = 2
Looking at the Hull Sections table, p. 63, a 75,000 dton vessel has a Hull Code of CP, p. 62, has 4 sections. My first point of confusion of why 2 and not 4"
Were did the 1.1 in the equation come from?
Protection by Points: 10/6 = round(10.6,4) = 1.6667
The above equation does not appear to me to match the cost formula listed in the the table on HgT:HG page 63.
Can someone please enlighten an old retired submarine sailor on the cost calculation process in simple terms?
