The Demander-class battlecruiser was an experimental study design for a "light monitor battlecruiser" designed to operate in coastal waters. The design was not seen as a success and no ships were ever built.

## Background

In early 1914, shortly after the outbreak of World War I, British naval designers envisioned the need for a fast and heavily armed warship that could conduct quick overnight bombardment raids on enemy installations. A request for quick design studies was passed to the #history Central Admiralty. One such study was dubbed "HMS Demander."

## Design

HMS Demander was designed with consideration for the economic feasibility of building such a warship during the war period. This involved fitting old 12" guns onto a smaller displacement hull than the originally projected 20000 tons.

The ship was to be 215m long at the waterline with a 25m beam and a relatively shallow draft of 6.47m. This shallow draft would have allowed Demanders to get within short distance of the shore, but engineers feared she would be difficult to maneuver.

The ships would have been able to achieve over 28 knots on 76200 SHP, provided by oil-fired boilers directly driving 2 shafts, with a range of 5600 nautical miles at 14 knots. The Demanders would have been some of the fastest ships of their era.

Armour was a more than adequate main belt of 200mm thickness running for much of the ship's length, more than other designs, but this was seen as excessive considering the ship's role. The ship's deck, secondary gun casemate faces, upper belt and torpedo bulkheads were, on the other hand, an anemic 25mm thick, and this was wholly inadequate. This did, however, represent a primitive take on the "all-or-nothing" armor scheme that would later become common on many warships.

Owing to the logistical issues of designing new three-gun turrets and a new machinery layout, as well as the poor horizontal and underwater protection, the latter a certain priority for coastal operation, the Demander-class never truly got off the drawing board. The latter two fears would, in fact, prove true in the years after, when British capital ships, including some of the final "light monitor battlecruiser" designs- Some with increased 75mm decks, but 50mm bulkheads, were crippled by the minelayer Nusret off the Dardanelles, while others with 38mm decks fell to plunging fire during the Battle of Jutland. However, developments of innovative ideas in the "light monitor battlecruiser" projects would significantly assist the Royal Navy's design teams for years to come.

The ***Maine*-class battleships**, formally **Battleship Design Study, BB-55 - Scheme N**, were a speculative preliminary series of drawings developed by the US Navy's Bureau of Construction and Repair at the behest of the Wargaming Department of the Naval War College. Intended to incorporate the lessons from extensive simulation and exhaustive analysis of historical combat data, this series represented a radical departure from conventional battleship development. Two versions were produced, one compliant with the 1936 London Naval Treaty and another with a larger main battery in the event that the "escalator clause" in the treaty should be invoked. Although intended purely as a feasibility study, the designs were considered for construction as part of the Fiscal Year 1938 Battleship program.

### Notes

For Valeur as of 1934

The ***Valeur*-class cruisers** were

## Description

The *Valeurs* had an outwardly striking appearance: for a light cruiser class, they were very large, imposing ships for their type, at almost 200 meters long. The foremast would pioneer the tall mast type that would eventually be favoured by the Marine Nationale, and gave the ships a distinct profile.

### Propulsion

*Valeur* and her sisters had two shafts, driven by Parsons geared steam turbines. Steam for these turbines was generated by six Penhoët boilers; the uptakes for these boilers were all trunked into a single funnel just aft of the foremast. The plant was capable of nominally generating about 71.000shp, for a top speed of 31 knots, though *Valeur,* on her trials, bettered her design speed by about 2 knots, sustaining a top speed of 33.1 knots over an eight-hour trial.
Imperial Russian Battleship Tret'chasa

Tret'chasa (Третий часа "20 minutes") was a unique pre-dreadnought battleship of the Imperial Russian Navy laid down in 1904. Tret'chasa was, in a deviation from normal naming schemes, named after the time it took to design the ship, which was seen as a record- Unfortunately this was also about how long the vessel lasted in combat.

## Design

Tret'chasa displaced 12,950 tons on a full load, was 115m long at the waterline, had a beam of 27m and drafted 9.36m. Tret'chasa's machinery, providing ,consisted of a 4 shaft complex reciprocating steam engine and coal fired boilers, giving her 15500 SHP for a speed of 19 knots. Tret'chasa was known as a good, albeit cramped seaboat and a stable gunnery platform.

Firepower came in the form of 4 12"/40 Pattern 1895 guns in 2 turrets, as well as 6 single 10"/45 Pattern 1891 guns. The ship was protected by a 250mm main belt, a 50mm deck tapering to just 25mm at the ends and 50mm upper and end belts. While her armor was seen as an upgrade over the then-favored previous Borodino class, considered by some to be the worst battleships ever, Tret'chasa also severely exaggerated Borodino's design flaws. Her 50mm barbette and turret armor was, in fact, if it was not obvious, completely inadequate, which would eventually be her downfall.

## Service History

Tret'chasa was laid down on 25 March 1904 at the new Admiralty Shipyard in St. Petersburg and rapidly completed, in an attempt to strengthen the Russian fleet as the Russo-Japanese war broke out. Sea trials were hurried and conducted as she made her way towards Japan with the Russian Pacific Fleet, but the results were found very satisfactory. Tret'chasa arrived in the Pacific on 25th May 1905, just in time to participate in the well-known Battle of Tsushima.

## Det'chasa: Loss at the Battle of Tsushima

On 27th May 1905, Tret'chasa, the 4th battleship in the line, fought valiantly, engaging and scoring multiple hits on the Japanese battleships (insert predread BBs from the IJN RFP once judged) and cruisers (yeah again) despite the fact that the Japanese fleet had crossed the T with the Russians, thanks to the wide forward firing angles of her guns. At 15:10, following damage to the lead ships in the line resulting in the loss of the similarly hurried Russian battleship Гангут, which broke up after taking structural damage to her already strained hull, Tret'chasa was forced to assume a more forward position, coming under fire from several Japanese vessels. While several hits failed to penetrate her belt, at 15:29, just short of 20 minutes after Tret'chasa had come under fire, a shell possibly fired by the Japanese (insert ship that wins?) penetrated Tret'chasa's thin upper belt and either a 10" or 12" gun barbette, exploding in the magazines and resulting in the rapid loss of the ship.

Bogart Farrelly

Vater **Bogart Farrelly** war ein Nebencharakter, der zum ersten Mal in *Die Schatten der Vergangenheit* auftrat. Als Priester gehörte er der Kyria an, besaß jedoch magische Fähigkeiten, die er für die dunkle Magie nutzte. Er war in Komplott gegen König Alaric verwickelt.

## Geschichte

### **Vor den Büchern**

Bogart Farrelly entdeckte eines Tages seine magische Begabung, legte aber seine natürliche Begabung ab und widmete sich aus unbekannten Gründen der Blutmagie zu. Zu einem unbestimmten Zeitpunkt durchlief er die Lehre und Prüfung der Kyria und wurde später zu einem Priester, der in Ciranor arbeitete.

### **Die Schatten der Vergangenheit**

Vater Bogart unterhielt sich mit der Obersten Klerikerin über ein paar unwichtige Angelegenheiten, als er im Geheimen von Breandan Limhain als derjenige identifiziert wurde, der durch Mutter Líadan beauftragt wurde den König mit Blutmagie zu vergiften.

Als Breandan Limhain durch einen Zauber der Magi herausfand, dass Bogart ein Maleficus ist und den König im Auftrag der Obersten Klerikerin vergiften sollte, wurde er sofort vor den König geführt und einer öffentlichen Leibesuntersuchung durchzogen. In seinem Heim fanden königliche Soldaten viele Beweise für Bogarts Zugehörigkeit zur dunklen Magie. Sich selbst nicht verratend entzog Mutter Líadan Bogart ihm sein Amt als Priester und sorgte dafür, dass ihm nach der Verurteilung, durch den Auratus-Orden ein Mark eingebrannt werden sollte, dass ihn auf Lebenszeit als Maleficus identifiziert. Der König selbst ließ Bogart für sein Handeln nach Fort Carcéral bringen, wo er bis zu seinem Urteilsspruch in einem Kerker sitzen sollte. Da der König bald abwesend sein würde, war es an Magistrat Galen ein Urteil über Bogart zu fällen.

The ***Pu Pai*-class battleships** (Mandarin: *不敗级战列舰*, *Bùbài jí zhànlièjiàn*) were a single-unit class of battleship built by the American Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation for the Republic of China Navy. This article will be filled out shortly following consultation, don't panic.

## Background

In 1922, Sun Yat-Sen's Kuomintang (Mandarin: *國民黨*, *Guómíndǎng*; Lit: "Nationalist Party") joined with the Communist Party (Mandarin: *共产党*, *Gòngchǎndǎng*) and other regional factions to establish the United Front - an alliance formed with the aim of bringing the Warlord Era to a close and unifying China under a single national government. Starting in July 1926, the armies of the United Front launched what would later be referred to as the Northern Expedition, a two-year offensive directed against the northern warlords of the Fengtian and Zhili cliques and the ineffectual Beiyang government (Mandarin: *北洋政府*, Běiyáng *zhèngfǔ*). The campaign was seriously threatened when National Revolutionary Army commander Chiang Kai-shek began preparations to purge 'left wing agitators' from his forces, but Wang Jingwei's Kuomintang government in Wuhan successfully intervened at the last minute; eventually an agreement was reached whereby Chiang's Nationalists would share power with Wang's Reorganizationists. By March 1928 the expedition had reached Beijing, and after several days of discussion dissolved the Beiyang government, and nominally united China under a single flag.

The following "Golden Decade" (Mandarin: *黃金十年*, *Huángjīn shí nián*) was a period of stability, economic growth and prosperity unprecedented in recent Chinese history. Increased funding and improved conditions allowed the undertaking of sweeping military expansion programs, including an ambitious project advocated by Naval Minsters Sa Zhenbing and Chen Shaokuan to purchase new warships abroad. These initial purchases, known as the 1931 Fleet Expansion Plan, would eventually be finalized as six modern destroyers, four submarines, two cruisers and one capital ship, would form the nucleus of a new model navy to secure China's place on the regional stage.

b) selecting the ‘Report’ menu and clicking ‘Save Report’ or the keyboard command Ctrl+D

If you manually select the ‘File’ menu and click ‘Save’ you may inadvertently select ‘Clear All’.

## Terminology:

"**Light**" Displacement is the amount of water the ship's hull displaces without any ammunition, fuel, food, crew, ballast, stores, or potable water on board, and all feedwater removed except the normal steaming level in the boilers. This is the theoretical minimum tonnage of the ship.

"**Normal**" Displacement is the amount of water the ship's hull displaces with the expected regular crew complement and full ballast, and two-thirds of the maximum amount of ammunition, fuel, food, stores, potable water, and boiler feedwater the ship is capable of carrying on board. This was the typical design tonnage prior to the signing of the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty.

"**Standard**" Displacement is the amount of water the ship's hull displaces with the expected regular crew complement, and the maximum amount of ammunition, food, ballast, stores, and potable water the ship is capable of carrying on board, but no fuel or boiler feedwater. Note that this term was defined by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 and did not exist before that date.

"**Full Load**" Displacement is the amount of water the ship's hull displaces with the maximum amount of food, crew, ballast, stores, potable water and boiler feedwater the ship is capable of carrying on board. This is the theoretical maximum tonnage of the ship.

The ***Akitsushima*-class battlecruisers** (Japanese: 秋津洲型巡洋戦艦, *Akitsushima-gata jun'yōsenkan*) were a class of battlecruisers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy immediately prior to World War II. Designed following the Japanese decision to withdraw from the Second London Naval Treaty negotiations, they were intended as a replacement for the aging the *Kongō*-class battlecruisers in the Night Battle Force portion of the "Decisive Battle" doctrine which Japan hoped, in the event of war, to employ against the United States Navy. Two ships were ordered, *Akitsushima* (*秋津洲*) and *Asahi* (*朝日*) - both names for Japan from waka poetry - although only *Akitsushima* was completed to the original design, with *Asahi* eventually converted into an aircraft carrier. The class is sometimes referred to as cruisers (Japanese: 秋津洲型巡洋艦, *Akitsushima-gata jun'yōkan*) or battleships (Japanese: 秋津洲型戦艦, *Akitsushima-gata senkan*) due to ambiguity in the Japanese warship classification system.

The ***Aregnaudeau*-class cruisers** were a series of four torpedo cruisers (French: *croiseur lance-torpilles*), the first new ships laid down by France following the signing of the 1922 Berlin Naval Treaty. A revival of the classic Jeune École (Lit: "Young School") naval strategy, driven by the poor condition of the fleet and disastrous state of the national economy, led to development work on a high speed cruiser capable of asymmetric warfare and independent commerce raiding (French: *guerre de course*) against a superior force, with particular consideration given to the British *Hawkins*-class and German *Rostock*-class cruisers as potential adversaries. Two ships, *Aregnaudeau* and *Marant*, were initially ordered in 1922; an additional two ships, *Cassard* and *Cornic*, were ordered in 1925 after development on an improved class was suspended for lack of funding.

The ***Don Juan d'Austria*-class battleships** were a series of design studies privately funded by the Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino shipbuilding corporation, in cooperation with Maschinenbau Škoda and the German marine engineering firm Blohm und Voß KG, in response to the 1913 **Battleship VIII** - **Ersatz *Monarch*** requirement. The *Don Juan d'Austria* class plans diverged considerably from previous Austro-Hungarian dreadnought types, incorporating German design practices such as cased propellant for the main battery, extensive internal subdivision and a comprehensive underwater protection system. Although favored by some of the general staff officers of the Imperial War Ministry (German: *Kriegsministerium*), the *Don Juan d'Austria* ultimately was not selected for production.

The ***Buława*-class cruisers** were a single-ship class variously identified as heavy cruisers or small battleships, designed in response to a 1934 Polish requirement by the renowned John Brown & Company dockyard of Scotland. *Buława* narrowly avoided cancellation when the Second London Naval Treaty was signed in 1936, restricting construction of small capital ships until 1943. Following a lengthy period of internal debate, the British government concluded that their completion of the ship would not technically violate the terms of the treaty, provided it underwent final fitting-out in Poland (a non-signatory country), and construction was resumed in December 1936. The largest vessel in the Polish Navy, *Buława* was successfully evacuated to the United Kingdom as part of the Peking Plan immediately before the German invasion, despite not having finished working up, and spent the remainder of World War II attached to the Royal Navy's Force H in the Mediterranean theater.

The ***Triumph*-class battleships** were a series of related proposals developed from 1929 to 1930 for the Royal Navy, necessitated by the unexpected December 1928 loss of HMS *Renown* while on maneuvers in the North Sea. Heavily inspired by the battlecruisers (German*: großer kreuzers*) of the Imperial German Navy, the *Triumph*-class studies were intended to maximize protection, particularly against close-range attack, while maintaining acceptable speed and firepower. A number of unusual design features were incorporated into the plans - most notably the inclusion of deep coal bunkers in the side protection system, forming a spaced array backed by an extremely thick internal bulkhead and a heavily sloped deck. Due to the uncertain status of the London Naval Treaty negotiations, versions with both 16 inch and 14 inch main batteries were prepared. The designs generated little interest within the British Admiralty, and were not selected for further development.
How-to-Springsharp Guide/Submarines

Springsharp is designed for surface ships, and isn't really suited to sub sims. However, a fairly decent approximate sub sim can be done using Springsharp:

You will sim your sub in awash condition, just about to go under. Specify depth as about 2/3 of beam; this seems typical for subs of pre-nuke era. Provide "miscellaneous weight" of about 1/4 to 1/6 of normal displacement - this is your ballast tank. (Some nations' real subs had closer to 1/3, but this will not sim well.)

For freeboard, enter zero. (To avoid computer error, the program will adjust this to 0.1 ft (0.03 metre). You'll get a "horribly cramped" warning - ignore it. However, if your sub has stability less than 1.0, you'll have to redesign it. Always enter steadiness of 50 pct. (If you cheat to get more stability, whoever re-runs the sim will catch you!)

Multiply composite hull strength times 100 to get operational diving depth in feet. (Multiply by 30 for depth in metres.) Emergency diving depth is 1.6 times operational depth; crush depth is 2.5 times operational depth.

You will find that the smaller the ballast tank, the deeper your sub can dive. However, the ballast tank is your reserve buoyancy, and will determine how much depth-charging you can take and still make it back up!

Adjust your report file. Just delete all those warnings about lack of seaworthiness - a dived sub obviously isn't seaworthy by surface-ship standards. Specify crew as about half the listed minimum. Don't forget to list operational diving depth.

Bonhomme Richard-class battlecruiser

260,000 shp (193,960 kW)

The ***Bonhomme Richard*-class battlecruisers** were a group of two ships authorized in 1918 as Battleship Cruiser No. 1 and Battleship Cruiser No. 2. The end result of a protracted developmental process started by the General Board's **Battle Scout 1912** requirement, their construction was greatly delayed due to political considerations and wartime necessity, resulting in significant departures from the original design specifications by the time the keels were actually laid in 1921. The definitive (final) version of the class was a ship with protection only marginally better than the final generation of Royal Navy battlecruisers, but projected to exceed 35 knots top speed at design displacement. Firepower was concentrated aft in an unusual double-superfiring arrangement, reflecting the expected engagement profile for a lightly protected high-speed scout cruiser. Eighteen experimental 9 inch 98 caliber Mark 1 guns, combined with the exceptional speed and operating radius, were anticipated to allow the *Bonhomme Richard*-class to engage and destroy enemy detached scouts and screening forces with impunity while avoiding retaliation from heavier fleet units. Two ships were laid down, USS *Bonhomme Richard* and USS *Hancock*, both of which were converted on the ways into aircraft carriers in compliance with the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty.

The ***Kronprinzessin Cecilie*-class battlecruisers** were a unique single-ship intermediate capital ship class of the Imperial Germany Navy (German: *Kaiserliche Marine*), authorized and funded in 1911 under the 1908 Naval Bill (German: *Flottennovelle von 1908*) as **Leichter Schlachtschiff 1912**, and laid down the next year as **Neubau K**. The ship represented a radical departure from preceding battlecruiser (German: *großer kreuzer*) types, and was intended to test a variety of new construction techniques and doctrinal innovations. Commissioned in late 1914, SMS *Kronprinzessin Cecilie* was part of the I. Scouting Group (German: *I. Aufklärungsgruppe*) for most of World War I, and was involved in several fleet actions during the war, taking part in the Battles of Dogger Bank and Jutland. The ship was severely damaged at Jutland, sustaining hits from at least 21 heavy shells and suffering an explosion in the propellant handling chamber serving the rear turrets, but remained afloat. In return, a salvo fired from the ship destroyed the battlecruiser HMAS *Royal Arthur*. SMS *Kronprinzessin Cecilie* was interned with the rest of the German fleet at Scapa Flow following the armistice in November 1918. At the order of Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter, the interned ships were scuttled on 21 June 1919.

The ***Daniil Aleksandrovich*-class cruisers** (Russian: *броненосный крейсер типа «Даниил Александрович»*) were a proposed class of large armored cruiser (French: *grands croiseur cuirassé*) developed at the request of the Imperial Russian Navy. Although the original 1904 requirement called for a battleship, later drafts evolved in response to the perceived needs of the Admiralty Board (Russian: *Адмиралтейств-коллегия*, *Admiralteystv-Kollegiya*) and the finalized version had more in common with contemporary cruiser types. Designed with some input by the famed French naval architect Louis-Émile Bertin, the *Daniil Aleksandrovich*-class plans had considerable similarity to the older cruiser *Matsushima (松島*) he had overseen the construction of in Japan. Like *Matsushima*, *Daniil Aleksandrovich* had a heavily sloped freeboard deck and armament concentrated aft; the same 320 mm Canet gun was used for the main battery, but in a revised twin mounting with entirely new hoists, rammers and trunnions intended to overcome some of the deficiencies of previous emplacements. With an expected top speed of 22 knots, it would have been the fastest capital ship in the world, but otherwise there was little to recommend it over competing proposals, and it was not selected for production.

The ***Charybdis*-class cruisers** were a class of two heavy cruisers ordered by the Canadian government, intended to supplement the original four *Inconspicuous*-class cruisers funded by the Naval Service Act of 1926. Designed and constructed by the shipbuilding division of the American Bethlehem Steel corporation, they were the first modern warships to be requisitioned from outside the Commonwealth for a Commonwealth navy. Designed for independent patrol, long-range cruising and fleet support duty, both ships of the class had active wartime careers. HMCS *Charybdis* escorted convoys and patrolled trade routes from the China Station to the South Atlantic before being sunk by Japanese air attack in the Indian Ocean in 1942. Attached first to Force G, then the 1st Cruiser Squadron, and finally the 4th Cruiser Squadron (Far East), HMCS *Rainbow* operated in the South American, African, Arctic and South Pacific theaters, winning five battle honors; the ship remained in service through much of the Cold War, undergoing extensive reconstruction to become an anti-submarine warfare command ship that would remain active in NATO operations until finally being placed in reserve in 1974.

## Background

During the First World War, the Royal Canadian Navy was tasked with protecting trade routes off the west coast of North America. Due to previous questionable investments, the ancient and under-gunned protected cruiser HMCS *Rainbow* was left as the largest Allied ship in the theater. With the German raiders SMS *Leipzig* and SMS *Nürnberg* prowling the waters, *Rainbow* was hopelessly outmatched, yet thankfully missed the raiders by a single day off San Francisco.

In the interwar period, the Admiralty of the Royal Canadian Navy hoped to commission a class of cruisers to fulfill the role of trade protection and hunting of commerce raiders while also still being able to perform the duties of a front line fleet cruiser. Spurred on by the surplus of interest in the Naval service following the famous RMS *Olympic* accident, the project was funded by Parliament for a four strong class. Issuing a request for proposal in late 1926, a design was chosen and the ships were ordered to be built in Britain. This was followed the next year by authorization for an additional two ships, built to a competing design in America due to in part to a lack of available building slips in the United Kingdom, and in part as an attempt to diversify future Canadian military procurement options.

HMCS *Charybdis* is depicted as a collectible "fleet girl" (Japanese: 艦娘, *kanmusu*) in the Japanese free-to-play web browser game Kantai Collection*.*

The ***Strana Sovetov*-class cruisers** (Russian: *крейсеров типа «Страна Советов»*) were a class of two ships, ordered from the Deutsche Werke Kiel dockyard during the brief period of increased cooperation between the Russian and German governments in the late 1930s. The official Soviet designation for the type was Heavy Aviation Cruiser (Russian: *Тяжелые Авианесущие Крейсера*, *Tyazhelyye Avianesushchiye Kreysera*), although they are typically referred to as large cruisers (Russian: *большой крейсер*, *bol'shoy kreyser*) in western sources. Carrying a modest floatplane air group, and equipped with minelaying and minesweeping gear as well as anti-submarine equipment, the *Strana Sovetov*-class were intended to act as general-purpose fleet auxiliaries, screening and supporting the numerous planned domestic capital ships (of the Project 69 and Project 23 classes) to be built in Russian yards. *Strana Sovetov* (*Страна Советов*), the first ship in the class, was delivered in 1940. The second, *Sovietskaya Konstitutsia* (*Советская Конституция*), was still under construction on 22 June 1941 when the German invasion permanently put an end to the project, and the incomplete hull was broken up for scrap in 1942.

The ***Hung Chang*-class cruisers** (Mandarin: *鸿章級輕巡洋艦*, *Hóng zhāng jí qīng xúnyángjiàn*) were a two-unit class of light cruisers built by the American Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation for the Republic of China Navy. This article will be filled out shortly following consultation, don't panic.

## Background

In 1922, Sun Yat-Sen's Kuomintang (Mandarin: *國民黨*, *Guómíndǎng*; Lit: "Nationalist Party") joined with the Communist Party (Mandarin: *共产党*, *Gòngchǎndǎng*) and other regional factions to establish the United Front - an alliance formed with the aim of bringing the Warlord Era to a close and unifying China under a single national government. Starting in July 1926, the armies of the United Front launched what would later be referred to as the Northern Expedition, a two-year offensive directed against the northern warlords of the Fengtian and Zhili cliques and the ineffectual Beiyang government (Mandarin: *北洋政府*, Běiyáng *zhèngfǔ*). The campaign was seriously threatened when National Revolutionary Army commander Chiang Kai-shek began preparations to purge 'left wing agitators' from his forces, but Wang Jingwei's Kuomintang government in Wuhan successfully intervened at the last minute; eventually an agreement was reached whereby Chiang's Nationalists would share power with Wang's Reorganizationists. By March 1928 the expedition had reached Beijing, and after several days of discussion dissolved the Beiyang government, and nominally united China under a single flag.

The following "Golden Decade" (Mandarin: *黃金十年*, *Huángjīn shí nián*) was a period of stability, economic growth and prosperity unprecedented in recent Chinese history. Increased funding and improved conditions allowed the undertaking of sweeping military expansion programs, including an ambitious project advocated by Naval Minsters Sa Zhenbing and Chen Shaokuan to purchase new warships abroad. These initial purchases, known as the 1931 Fleet Expansion Plan, would eventually be finalized as six modern destroyers, four submarines, two cruisers and one capital ship, would form the nucleus of a new model navy to secure China's place on the regional stage.
