The start of my building program for the Germans

In my building program wargame with my friend Cliff, we started off from a standing start in 1905, with no ships on hand. We started a purely naval war in 1914 using what had been completed by then. My building program started off as follows:
  • 1905
  1. 3-battleships 8-12in/45 and 12-4in QF speed 23 knots 10in belt
  2. 1-battlecruiser 4-12in/45 and 12-4in QF speed 31 knots 4in belt
  3. 6-scouts 5-4in QF 2-18in TT patch of 2in armor speed 36 knots
  4. 12-destroyers 2-4in QF 2-18in TT speed 32 knots
  • 1906
  1. 1-battleship 8-12in/45 and 12-4in QF speed 23 knots 10in belt
  2. 2-battlecruisers 8-12in/45 and 12-4in QF speed 33 knots 4in belt
  3. 6-scouts 5-4in QF 2-18in TT patch of 2in armor speed 36 knots
  4. 32-destroyers 2-4in QF 2-18in TT speed 32 knots
  • 1907
  1. 3-battleships 8-12in/50 and 12-4in QF speed 24 knots 13in belt 3in deck
  2. 6-scouts 5-4in QF 2-18in TT patch of 2in armor speed 36 knots
  3. 16-destroyers 2-4in QF 2-18in TT speed 32 knots
  • 1908
  1. 4-battleships 8-12in/50 and 12-4in QF speed 24 knots 13in belt 3in deck
  2. 6-scouts 5-4in QF 2-18in TT patch of 2in armor speed 36 knots
  3. 4-destroyers 2-4in QF 2-18in TT speed 32 knots
After 1908, I introduced some new types into production. For those ships that I list here, I have profile drawings for each one that I will be putting online. With Springsharp being available, having a building program game is very much a possibility. It is more satisfying if you have someone else designing the building programs for other countries.
