Cimmaron Tanker Tonnage

Sailor Steve · 03-25-10, 06:17 PM

The Cimmaron class should indeed have a standardized GRT of 11,335 tons.

The only two specific listings I've been able to find (because they travelled once in a British convoy) are Chemung, which is 11,335 tons, and Salamonie, which for some reason they say was registered at 11,316 tons.

I have specific GRTs for a lot of C2s, but if it's randomized then SH3's 6200 is pretty close.

According to the game, the C2 modeled is the S-B1 variant. The game models it at 7600 tons, while the USMM website lists it at 6230 tons.

Oh yeah, the C2s. Some sub-variants are listed as low as 6100 tons, some as high as 8335 (the C2-S-AJ1). I too have 6230 for the C2-S-B1. Those are all civilian ships.

African Dawn 6507
African Star 6507
African Sun 6507
Bald Eagle 6178
Blue Jacket 6180
Golden Eagle 6180
Great Republic 6178

There are a lot more of them that I don't have the specific GRT listings, and a lot of other C2 classes I do; those are just the C2-S-B1s I have at present.

Interestingly, I do have one C2-S, Empire Curlew which is rated at 7101 GRT. It is the ex-Robin Doncaster, and its sister ships of the Robin Line - Robin Locksley, Robin Sherwood, Robin Tuxford and Robin Wentley - are group-rated at 7101. That is still a bit shy of 7600, but it may be where they got the idea from.

Was there much difference visually between C1A and C1B?

Was thinking of, well, cheating and just cloning the model of C1B, lower the tonnage and draft and call it C1A.

Sailor Steve · 03-25-10, 08:11 PM

Do you mean the C2? Or is there a C1 model in the game?

Arclight · 03-25-10, 09:01 PM

C1 (C1-B ingame). Forgive me from basing this of wiki, but the C1-A is listed as 5028GRT compared to 6750 for C1-B.

The difference is that the A had a "shelter deck", while the B had "full scantling". Those terms aren't really familiar to me, and can't really find any illustrations.

Apart from the draft and tonnage, the dimensions are the same. Thought it might be a step towards more variety, though a "dirty" one.

"Shelter Deck" means that the scantlings (frames) stop one deck below the weather deck, and that first lower deck is open.

"Full Scantling" means that the scantlings go up to the weather deck. There is no visible difference, but that accounts for the weight difference. The dimensions are indeed the same.

The major difference in the types is that the "Full Scantling" ships can reach all cargo holds with their own cranes. The "Shelter Deck" types need external dock cranes to reach some holds.

Here are pictures of both:
