Players :

2by3 has asked that we assist them with data and research on the transport capacities of ship classes. Additionally, if you have other information on special situations regardign transport of men, fuel, supplies, or planes that would be outside of normal expectations, that data would also be useful to 2by3.

Please post any LINKS you have to data regarding the above here. Alternatively, send such information to me : [email]dgaad@legionhq.net[/email]

Joel Billings asked me to help coordinate this data gathering effort. I don't want this thread to be a place for a gigantic debate on transport ratings, that isn't the purpose. We are looking to acquire the largest and most reliable body of data on this subject so that WitP will have that data incorporated. UV may also benefit from this, but this is personal speculation.

2by3 and the entire strategic gaming community will appreciate your assistance.

May we assume you want numbers of transports available or deployed, and when, displacement (long tons), and typical combat and cargo loads?

To support your cargo vessel research, I would be happy to send you pages from the following references:

1. U.S. Naval Vessels (The Official USN Reference Manual, 1 September 1945), 1996, Schiffer Publishing. This large book consists of 3 documents developed during WWII: (1) ONI 222-US Naval Vessels (including ONI-226, Allied Landing Craft and Ships with the 226/1 supplement), (2) The United States Fleet (From Pearl Harbor to Oct 1 1945), prepared by the Statistical Section of ONI, and (3) Index of United States Fleet (1 Dec 44), prepared by Commander, Air Force, Pacific Fleet.

This book includes the carrying capacities of cargo/supply ships.

2. Warships of the World, Roger Kafka and Roy L Pepperburg, editors, 1944.

Please let me know what ship classes you want and where I should send the pages.

Thanks,

RayM
