Royal Navy Sandwich class gunboat(1927)
Machinery: Diesel-electric
Range: 10,000 nm at 12kn
Speed: 18(21/24 see below)
Armament:
-4 single 6" low angle guns
-2 single 3" AA guns
-some .303 AA machine guns
-one quad torpedo launcher
-DC rails and launchers
-central fire constol for the 6" guns.
-3" and 6" guns taken from decomissioned WW1 ships.
Armor:
-non just splinter protection
That should come out under 2,000 tons and my WAG was that 4,000hp would be more than enough for 18kn but 24 would require around 10,000. Any idea how much that might have cost HM treasury? And how much more if the speed were 21 or even 24 knots instead?
