Here are some ideas I have put together, these changes are based off of the IRCWCC rules set.
Pumps
The maximum number of pumps any ship may use is two, of whatever type that class of ship may mount.
Monitors, Destroyers, Light Cruisers and Escort Carriers may only mount micro class pumps.
Armored Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers and Battle Cruisers may mount half unit pumps.
Battleships Fleet Carriers and Dreadnaughts may mount full unit pumps.
Speed
All ships speed will be based on the maximum speed the ship achieved during trials. The chart below will list both the actual ships speed and the speed of the combat model.
41 knots or above: 21 seconds
35-40 knots: 22 seconds
30-34 knots: 23seconds
25-29 knots: 24 seconds
20-24 knots: 26 seconds
15-19 knots: 28 seconds
10-14 knots: 32 seconds
1-10 knots: 34 seconds
This rule replaces rule 11c
The following ships may have two side firing cannons in a single turret covering a side quadrant provided that they are the only side firing cannons covering that quadrant:
1. Any ship on the Ship List with a LOA of more than 725 feet
2. HMS Nelson.
Combat Ship Classes
1. Only combat ships which were launched between Jan. 1, 1905 and Dec.31, 1946, and were completed, are approved for semi-scale model combat. Unless otherwise noted in the authorized exemptions at the end of this section.
2. Listed below are the authorized classes for combat ships and the total offensive/defensive units allowed. This list takes precedence over any entries shown in the Ship List.
3. All displacement values shown above are Standard displacement. All displacement tonnages listed above are in English tons (long tons) of 2240 pounds each.
