Build all the ships! Since we don't have anything great for replacement capital ship department, it'll keep the Russian navy strong enough for the moment.

On the Cruiser front, some sort of light commerce raider (c 3-4000 T) seems in order, with good range so we can transfer them between theatres, as well as expanding our flock of destroyers, to ensure plenty of strong support units for the battle line. And ships to clean up crippled enemy capital ships while the big boys duke it out.

That said, the world is calm at present, we can probably rest up some of our heavier ships for the moment.

It is clear that unbridled aggression will bring disaster upon us all. Thus I propose the following act to counter this threat.

The Treaty Act
In order to prevent the world falling into war and anarchy, Russia will aggressively seek an arms limitation treaty for the size of naval vessels. The Naval office will actively encourage diplomatic efforts to establish such an arms limitation treaty. This bill will remain in effect until such time as a treaty is successfully established and in place for more than 1 year.

Torps Away

Given the increasing importance of torpedos in our doctrine as the mainstay of ways to finish off enemy ships, I propose that a fleet training emphasis on use of torpedoes be instilled to help all crews improve in the handling of them in the case of further hostilities.

I believe (at least in RTW 1) you could emphasize specific types of training at extra cost for ships. If so, propose setting it on torpedoes nwo that we have a small surplus.

You can for an increase in maintenance costs.

I haven't played this one yet (but I'm close to cracking), but a question: Is there a design we already have that's good enough and tested enough to spam out a few to replace our losses? We have some big boys on the slipways but we've lost some destroyers and I'd like to see more destroyers and light cruisers out asap. If it's anything like RTW1, a design we already have (maybe modified) is cheaper and faster to build.

You can, indeed, make new designs based on old designs.
Certain things, like changing weight, will make it a whole new ship, but a redesign is entirely possible.

Also needs wayyyyy more main gun ammo.

I know, I was trying to keep costs somewhat reasonable. The secondaries have infinite ammo though so it's FIIIINE. Though I guess I did have some tonnage to play with. Maybe I'll make a B variant. Maybe I'll let it compete as it stands.
If we put it in for refit when we get better 14" guns, we can always bulge the hull and fill it with more shells

Though when I go back to check things, it lets me put the 12" guns in turrets now. WEIRDNESS.

As for costs, iot's competitive with the Åsidosätta on price. That's just what a Battleship costs nowadays. Inflation is hell.
