The Strategum have not listened – mainly because of commercial ties to main government related ship building companies – and went on to keep building battleships of various sizes and designs.
They have advised the strategic command of Earth Alliance to skip planning and building battleships and go immediately for the all-big-gun dreadnought design, also proposed a new concept called Titan-class. They speculated on the stages of warship design and building, and found that an arms race was imminent. Their proposal was to revise the historical, well-tried-out doctrines of using same size turrets on superstructure built specifically to support them. Tomić - commonly referred to as the “Croatian Four ” – have submitted a paper study to the Earth Alliance (before the foundation of Earth Empire) called Historic Warship Building and Relations to Our Time five years prior the ensuing battleship building race. The all-big-gun design was not a new conception to the Empire: the brilliant Mihokovic scientist brothers and Sir O. Analyzing and then implementing the various work processes, finding the crucial points and applying automatic mechanisms more effectively were possible therefore meaning the crew compliment could have been halved and still keeping an effective function during missions. Valdyr) on every member of a warship’s crew for years it was possible to record every stage of every maintenance work required during the run of a mission and an effective database and workflow process could be created. This mainly meant using the implant technique (designed by Sir M. The new tau particle power plants and the relating propulsion system gave the new frame hitherto unseen agility: the dreadnoughts – while having a mass and length 2/3 more of a usual battleship – were performing just as same as previous battleships.Ĭhanges in logistics were mainly possible to a revolutionary new approach devised first by Sir M. While the pre-dreadnought battleships were between 280-400 meters in length, the dreadnoughts varied between 400 and 600 meters. Equipping same calibre turrets make targeting predictions easier and with the applications of better logistic and materials, the new dreadnought design could become bigger, stronger and required less crew compliment.
The all-big-gun idea differs from the usual doctrine in that the new battleship design is built around supporting unified, same calibre and same effective firing range turrets instead of the erratic “build what you like and equip what you find” military practice to date. Dreadnoughts revolutionized battleship building with the application of three major points:
