Kantai Collection is gonna be really fun and hilarious in this timeline (and wouldn't be too surprising if CERFOR's weeb community is the first to bring it over)
Okay hang on Recon, I swear that at one point one of three US Treaty Ships for "Trade Protection" was in fact a fat F of a battleship that caused massive amounts of Imperial Japanese skub, what happened to the 45k+ ton big chungus that I got emotionally attached to, don't tell me it's a retcon.
But seriously, thanks for doing all this peak, and also pls add a changelog or archive because the earlier versions were still peak.
Also, a spinoff or alternative version in which the USN gets curbstomped in our VLS-free FF(X) "frigates" that are really just fat OPV's and blockchain-powered AI-designed undergunned, unreliable, and belated Defiant / Trump - class BBG's / heavy cruisers / strike cruisers / boondoggles / cancelled abominations / CANCELLED abominations would be interesting seeing as how the OG DV timeline was, shall we say, optimistic.
So, concerning Hiei: Is it a Dauntless that nails her or are her and her crew among the first to be introduced to horrors a century beyond their comprehension?
I've been playing Rule the Waves 3 recently and I wish so much there was this level of detail and back and forth in the naval treaties. I feel it'd add so much more flavor to the geopolitical situation in any given play-through.
Quite considerably. Hood in the OTL treaty system was basically ignored and counted as 16-inch gun armed ship. Japan left the treaty system in 1934 (Second London conference started at the end of 1935). Supercruisers never became a legal category and basically only the US built them (the Alaska class) in the early 40s.

Got to Exemptar ships and am now completely sucked in.

I’m a bit confused. How much does this diverge from the real life interwar naval treaties?

Loved this man. Great lore as always. My only question is really, so does graf zeppelin get completed?
oh that's a good question, I need to think about it
I am leaning towards yes—and Seydlitz is also probably completed (as a cruiser).
Ahhh, yea it would be interesting to see yk?
