Here is some excellent data from Marc Urban (marc): Whoops, should have gone in Ship Data! Here my conclusions to the endurance values. 1. Looked in 'Warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy from Jentschura' and there are roughly the same values as in the cruiser book (my first source). 2. I compared the endurance values from CVs, BBs and DDs in WitP with Jentuschra and they are roughly the same with a few obvious errors but quite correct. -> the endurance values in WitP for IJN CAs are absolutely wrong. Here are the ones from 'Japanese Cuisers of the Pacific War' (All after latest reconstruction): Furutaka-class: 1,858 t oil 7,000nm at 14 kts (designed), 7,900nm at 14 kts (effective) Aoba-class: 2,040 t oil 8,000nm at 14 kts (designed), 8,223nm at 14 kts (effective) Myoko-class: 2,214 t oil 8,500nm at 14 kts (planned), 7,463nm at 14 kts (effective) and 5,000nm at 18 kts. Myoko after first reconstruction: only 4,000nm at 16 kts !!!!! Mogami/Mikuma: 2,215 t oil 8,000nm at 14 kts (designed), 7,000 - 7,500nm at 14 kts (effective) Suzuya/Kumano: 2,302 t oil 8,000nm at 14 kts (designed), 7,000 - 7,500nm at 14 kts (effective) Tone-class: 2,690 t oil 12,000nm at 14 kts (designed), 8,000 nm at 18 kts (designed), no effective data Agano-class: 1,420 t oil 6,000nm at 18 kts (designed) Oyodo: 2,445 t oil 8,700nm at 18 kts (designed), 10,315nm at 18 kts (effective)!!!! Katori-class: 600 t oil 9,900nm at 12 kts at full load (designed) Yubari-class: 916 t oil 5,000nm at 14 kts (designed), 3,310nm at 14 kts (effective)!!!!! because of 15% higher weight than expected. The 5,500t CLs to follow later. I will put together the data for the other cruisers in the next days as time permits.
