while it is always the worst example, the french did 10 years from keel laying to commissioning for their CVN....... A fair point but not 4 of them in the same period, not too mention the crew numbers enlargement that would be needed, and buying a new fleet of aircraft for the carriers. And if ther...
Let's see.... Following the Faulklands the RN frontline fleet consisted of 3 carriers, one centaur and two Invincibles with a 3rd under construction. 8 type 42,s with 3 under construction. 4 county class destroyers (1 out of action following an Exocet hit). 6 type 21's, 8 Type 22's with 4 under con...
Whatever it is. 40mm and 57mm on the same hull? Please, get real. It's a small cargo ship that can defend itself. I think you could reasonably justify nothing but crew-served weapons.

SSKs are undeniably cheaper to build and since they tend to be smaller and have significantly smaller crews they're also cheaper to operate. That means you can have more boats which should help...
It's a good AU so far and certainly going to something that I'll be watching, a quick question about your population levels though, given that Thiaria would be a free nation with already a significant Irish population at the time of the Great Famine, would there be more movement to Thiaria rather th...
Having a look at some historic information, the Free State had a budget of £30 million in 1925, this is following 2 and a half years of the War of Independence, and nearly a year of Civil War. Furthermore you had the split of Northern Ireland and the reduction of about a third of the population (1.2...
After talking to Nighthunter I'm putting together a bit of a TL with some details that might create at least some of the conditions to support an Irish military like this, I'll try to have it up in a few days so everyone can pick holes in it :D .
