Mister Bates posted:also, putting forth an act that is technically illegal under the provisions of a previous act was a straight up accident on my part which I did not realize until just now, my bad In a parliamentary system of government, the will of parliament is sovereign and no past parliament can bind a current or future parliament. Ergo any statute passed is law, even if it contradicts previous statute. Those parts of previous laws it contradicts are no longer valid. I suppose Grey could appoint a goon constituted judiciary to make legal rulings on any possible conflicts or gaps in statute.

 January 1921 There is a design for an aircraft carrier, but no room in the budget to build it.  Our guns get better. February 1921  The Japanese have a faster fighter. March 1921  Things are quiet. April 1921  Quiet is good – we build ships and research new technology. May 1921  Generally we're learning how to pack a bigger bang into a smaller space. June 1921  We get the normal reports. July 1921  With world tensions low, there is nothing wrong with a little arms dealing.  August 1921  Our seaplane carrier finally finishes construction – already hopelessly outdated.  The first carrier is sent to be finalised. September 1921  ALWAYS beat the French.  We get minelaying subs and a new flying boat. October 1921  Our docks expand once more and I lay down the CVL. November 1921  We are not the only one expanding our docks. December 1921  We finish off a quiet year.  Several ships are looking old and needing a rebuild.  The new ships are progressing well.  We are working just inside our means.  World tension remains low.  Ships of the world. Back to you.

Leperflesh posted:Hmm! Well, let Grey interpret my orders however he feels best. Just nothing happening with no comment will lead to BuOrd's messages being increasingly underlined, italicized, bolded, etc. I hereby propose the FAA Modernization Act To prevent BuOrd from being overly and unduly burdened by aircraft designs beyond the intended purview of the office, requesting new aircraft designs and selection of designs for production shall be exclusively the responsibility of the legislature. BuOrd retains the right to establish a naming scheme for aircraft models and name them as they see fit. i81icu812 fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Sep 21, 2019 |

Dock Size Moderation Act Once our dockyards are capable of constructing 60,000 ton ships, there will be no more funds allocated towards expanding the docks. This act will help us expand the fleet by diverting our cash towards actual ship construction instead of capital that is incredibly underutilized. Railroad Investment Act Whenever possible we will direct any tax windfalls towards the construction of infrastructure.

I thought we already passed a bill stopping the neverending dock expansions? e: yeah I checked, the Enough is Enough bill already passed so we shouldn't be expanding every time anymore.

Grey Hunter posted:Urk. My bad. More seriously: I propose the Know Your Enemies act. With increased tensions between ourselves and the nations of Austria-Hungary and France, it is vital we know what they are doing and how they are doing it. To this end, this act will mandate that our intelligence efforts against both nations shall be set to HIGH.

I propose the Ooh, Shiny! Act This act allows the purchase of offered or stolen aircraft designs if they are better than the model currently deployed, with attribute priority set by previous procurements from BuOrd.

January 1922 sloshmonger posted:I propose the Ooh, Shiny! Act Pickled Tink posted:I propose the Know Your Enemies act.  The construction of the new aircraft carrier gets off to a good start. February 1922  We get a couple of tech increases. March 1922  Japan are a little annoyed with us for stealing a 15 foot pole with some mirrors in it. April 1922  I know how this one goes. He can have something with less guns this time!  May 1922  Oh god, this means another wave of destroyers, doesn't it... June 1922  I did a quick refit on the light cruisers to keep them up to date, July 1922  Machinery weight saving is always good. August 1922  We hold a shooting contest to keep the troops sharp.  Better 5” guns are now available. September 1922  We get a look at an Austrian light crusier.  A new fighter is ordered, and Germany is expanding its light fleet. October 1922  All or nothing armour will shake things up a bit. November 1922  The Austrians are at director tech level. December 1922  We achieve aircraft inception.  Funds are holding, and our docks hitting 60k.  Here is the fleet.  Our next battleship will be ready in four months, then I will need to see about the funds to commission the last of the series.  Here are the fighter designs.  Tensions are manageable, but Austria-Hungary look to be our next war. Back over to you!

We need to cancel that last ship that hasn't been ordered yet and produce an AON design instead. It's worth it, the prototyping costs aren't that much.

Airbase Expansion Act of 1923 Build up all our airbases for both airplanes and airships to their maximum level possible in Northern Europe once there is a budget surplus. This will allow us to reallocate our best fighting ships as necessary since we can be assured that our ports in the west have adequate cover against the occasional raider. The cost of construction is also cheaper than even one battleship on a monthly basis.

What do we need to do, to be able to deploy flying aircraft carriers. What ever it is, we need to do it. Should any requests to launch archaeological expeditions to the middle east in search of ancient items and collectables, we should do that too. Nothing could go wrong doing that.

Battleships of the Decade Act With the new armour technology, the planned third Imperator Garton class is now completely obsolete. Thus this act proposes we cancel the requested third vessel of this class, and commission at least 2 new BB or BC class vessels using the new AON armour scheme. No new destroyer hulls may be laid down until both new Capital ships are under construction.

Veloxyll posted:Battleships of the Decade Act Seconded. Danann posted:Airbase Expansion Act of 1923 imo this one is not a good idea since there are a lot of potential airbases in Northern Europe, so that's a huge drain on the budget to build all those to maximum and outfit them with planes.

What ever it is, we need to do it. fortunately they are deployed to our airship bases automatically once the technology is researched so we already have them! In fact, The Greatness requires Our Airships To Sail Everywhere act, or GOATSE for short Two additional airship bases will be constructed, in locations of the Admiralty's choosing, in order to take full advantage of the increased air cover provided by our new flying aircraft carriers.
