Speed/acceleration tables

Post by Werner »

Can anybody point me at speed and acceleration tables (as well as tactical radius) for the ships of various fleets?
If an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.

Hi Werner "War-Ships The construction , protection , Stability, Turning, Etc of War Vessels" By Edward L Attwood First published in 1904 by Longmans Green and Co and only references RN warships of the period . My copy is the 5th edition and published in 1912 . A superbly detailed and technical publication that deals with your areas of interest. Hope this helps. :thumbs_up_1:

Dave, if it's not too monumental a tome, could you possibly let me have any info you have on HMS Dreadnought from this source, please? I'd be very thankful.
