This is not a serious take on naval history, but more a shitpost thereof. Please take everything I say with a grain of salt.
I'm sorry, Elmo Zumwalt.
The game is Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts: store.steampow...
In Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts you play as the head of a navy doing what the head of navies do best - spend entirely too much money on holes in the water, or, in laymans terms, ships. You can design very stupid things. I do this.

Oh, and he forgot to add the nastiest part about the modern iterations of fast attack boats in the Finnish and Swedish navies that now rule Lake NATO previously known as the Baltic sea: The Finnish boats are often a bit bigger than the Swedish, and some of those bigger fast attack boats are armed with single tube NEMO autoloading or AMOS dual tube assisted manual breech loaded 12cm mortar turrets, that can fire on the move, at moving targets, with

It's kind of the PRCs overall strat if them and the US start shooting each other: they have a handful of submarines, asw ships, and not a whole lot of capital ships from what I can discern. But they have a fuck ton of fast attack boats the size of a matchbox, loaded down with as many anti ship missiles as they could fit on. I have no clue at all of the quality of any of these vessels, but I do know, that China only started investing in its navy relatively recently. 30 years seems like a long time, but for a nation that hasn't had a proper naval engagement in its whole history? There's too many variables. Maybe it works, maybe they're all crap, no one actually knows.

This series has encouraged me to try the game. I am past torpedo boat viability so now it's destroyer time. After watching Tex's playthroughs I am comissioning the "I have 12 tubes and intend to make this your problem" class. I already have plans for a sucessor if I can get a hull to 36kn+ then I'll commission the "I have 15 tubes and intend to make this your problem" class.

A game-breaking tip. Build ships with max tonnage but scale EVERYTHING down to zero. Zero armor, zero operational range, minimal main guns fore and aft (at least one each). Then plan a refit them to your liking minus one armor tic, then refit that refir up that tic. Cuts literal years off build time. I've built BB's in 9 months with 2 month refits where the full build takes years.

At the time the British had clauses in the contracts for building ships that allowed them to take possession in the case of a war but they had to give them back or replace them at the end of the war. There's a good rundown of these things in either *Dreadnought* or *Castles of Steel* both by Robert K. Massie.

And it's worth noting that of the ships they did acquire this way, after the war they were sent along to the purchasing power or bought, as per contract. Aside from the Ottomans, because their ship was part of the penalty they paid for joining the losing side. And because that empire fell apart immediately afterward.

Excessive use of artillery? Sounds more like an excuse, invented by the Minister of War, to cover up his incompetence in running the munitions factories, and failing to provide enough shells for the needs of the army. As Patton supposedly said, "You win wars by making the other poor bastard die for HIS country." And to quote the Mighty Jingles, "If it's a fair fight, you did something wrong."

"Real history is bizarre" basically if you ever read history and it sounds a little too neat and tidy, you're reading a narrative. It may be a widely accepted narrative, but it's still a narrative. Real history is ugly and dirty and crazy just like modern times. Countries and people build things and do things that make no real sense, they fight wars that they aren't prepared for, make enemies with nations they rely on for the protection of their very way of life, etc. but in their defense (and ours as in the people of today), in the moment, it seems like the thing to do.
