Re: Answers to a couple questions

Hmmm.

Rob is right.  I have used George Herbert's naval designs a few times
prior to Wet Navy coming out.  And some guesswork on a lot of naval
designs that I put up before George's stuff.

I think I used George's design system on the SHADO Skydiver, and the
Herbert Dean Meson Submarine.

The designs previous to that pulled engine statistics directly from
books on warships along with their stated performance.  The only thing
there that wasn't a matter of common sence was the size and weight of
the propellers.  I forget what I used, (I think it was Rob's suggestion
to use the transmission of a tracked design with volume, weight, cost
multiplied by 2)

Since Wet NAvy has come out, I use it, but I think Rob is right:  We
need to incorporate George
's ideas into a Good design system for ships.
