Brian,
You may want to pass this on to your TML friends--
They are right about power being the function of a cube root
rather than a square root, something I discovered after
type was set and couldn't do anything about it.
My friend and Royal Navy naval architect Stuart Machin called
my attention to this and also worked out corrected hull resistance
factors that would work properly with a cube root equation.
These will appear if and when a Wet Navy book (or combined
COACC/Wet Navy book) appears as an expansion of the new
TNE rules set.
Meanwhile, the square root formula, while not being totally
realistic, is easy to use as part of a wet ship design
system which yields usable results in game terms.
Best Regards,
Terry
