Here's some number from the USN in WWII. (split manning #'s indicate peacetime/wartime) 'Wickes' class DD (1000dT standard, 1400 full load) complement 153 'Clemson' class DD (1000dT standard, 1400 full load) complement 153 'Farragut' class DD (1400dT standard, 2200 full load) complement 160/250 'Porter' class DD (1900dT standard, 2800 full load) complement 194/294 'Allen M. Sumner' class DD (2200dT standard, 3500 full load) complement 350 'Atlanta' class CL (6000dT standard, 8000 full load) complement 623/810 'New Orleans' class CA (10,000dT standard, 13,000 full load) complement 700/1200 'Baltimore' class CA (13,500dT standard, 17,000 full load) complement 1100/1700 'Alaska' class CB {not BC!} (27,500dT standard, 34,000 full load) complement 1370/2251 'New York' class BB (27,000dT standard, 32,000 full load) complement 1314/1530 'North Carolina' class BB (35,000dT standard, 47,000 full load) complement 1880/2339 'Iowa' class BB (45,000dT standard, 57,000 full load) complement 1921/2850 'Yorktown' class CV (20,000dT standard, 25,500 full load) complement 1889/2919 'Essex' class CV (27,000dT standard, 33,000 full load) complement 3448 'Midway' class CVB (45,000dT standard, 60,000 full load) complement 2510/4104 I think it could be said that "They really packed 'em in" back then. p.s. The 'Atlanta' class CL was 540' by 53' so it's the closest to the 'Spruance' dimension-wise. -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 9/14/14, Peter Berghold <xxxxxx@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: [TML] Destroyer tonnage... To: "tml" <xxxxxx@simplelists.com> Date: Sunday, September 14, 2014, 7:12 PM what are peoples thoughts on getting the same sort of performance and crew size between wet navy ships and star ships. I was putting together some specs for a ship similar in nature to the Spruance Class destroyers (I was on the USS Cushing, a SpruCan) and got the impression right away that a 1 to 1 mapping was not going to work. The SpruCans were 563 fee long with a 52 foot beam. The crew was (when I was aboard) 15 officers and 225 enlisted crew. When I plugged the displacement (8000 tons) into MT rules and tried to put a ship together the numbers just didn't add up. Thoughts? -- Peter L.
