Check Campaign 10: UAD has updated & to Learn it's new ways I started another British Campaign

A carrier group's anti-submarine strength includes offboard helicopters, their host ships, and the frigates that cue them onto contacts.

The campaign map shows Britain ringed with mines that restrict enemy movement even where no surface squadron is visible.

The planned invasion of northern France concentrates as much naval tonnage as possible because taking the region would reduce French production and oil access.

The tour highlights a Rodney-class battleship whose long-range 16.2-inch main battery is backed by numerous 6-inch guns intended to keep cruisers and destroyers away.

The campaign's large invasion requirements prompt a discussion of retaining older ships when usable hulls and tonnage matter more than front-line quality.

Yes. In the campaign, allies tend to buy mothballed ships, which helps move older hulls out of the active fleet.

A 53,000-ton campaign design imagines a fast Queen Elizabeth-type battleship with twelve 15-inch guns and asks what such a ship would have meant at Jutland.

Submarine design would be interesting, but carriers create a deeper modelling problem because the aircraft and their design must also be represented.

Long-range 6-inch fire and a compact battleship formation deny a large French destroyer force a viable torpedo approach.

Light cruisers serve as sacrificial fixing forces so the slower battle line can prevent a French withdrawal and destroy the fleet in detail.

A damaged French light cruiser tries to escape, demonstrating how flooding and accumulated hits can turn a nominal speed advantage into a fatal shortfall.

Transport losses are compared with each side's shipping capacity, showing why identical losses can impose very different strategic pressure.

A light cruiser is lured away from its convoy, letting a destroyer attack the transports before turning back on the isolated escort.

A destroyer with advantages in stabilization, hull size, and torpedo reloads still loses after its commander presses the attack too closely.

Campaign research prompts a design lesson: construction flaws can leave a ship slower than its intended trial speed.

A favourable engagement gives destroyer crews experience while battleships provide overwhelming support against the opposing destroyer.

Campaign reports show French ships and crews suffering mine damage, turning the earlier defensive barrier into continuing attrition outside set-piece battles.

The campaign's Hawaiian and Samoan invasions show the practical need to assemble enough surface and submarine tonnage in the theatre before an operation can proceed.

Repeated surprise torpedo attacks make detection and warning time the campaign fleet's most urgent capability gap.

A million tons tied up in construction and repair are assessed by completion date and arrival port, showing why nominal fleet size is not the same as immediately available strength.

The Rodney-class refit balances improved torpedo warning, limited spare displacement, gun range, speed, and comparison with a faster rival battleship design.

The chief of defence should stop representing one service and provide advice for the armed forces as a whole; a visibly separate identity could help reinforce that joint responsibility.

A French battleship sensibly directs long-range fire at the heavy cruisers most capable of damaging it, rather than simply shooting at the largest available target.

Purple represents the service colours mixed together, making it a shorthand for a joint identity rather than allegiance to one branch.

The closing historical aside describes an early Russian 24-knot battleship concept that accepted lighter armour to obtain its speed.
