i've finally got round to putting together a website (rather than a
half-arsed web page) for the Dutch. see:
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~univ0938/gzg/nl/
it is currently very not complete, as it has only a front page and a load of
ship design, plus some bumf on the navy. i have more info on my disk waiting
to be sorted out and HTMLified, and this should happen soon,
any feedback will be welcome.

You asked for it <g>
The Schelde-class FF seems to use only 19 of its 20 Mass.
The Holland-class definitely has too few FCs. I know it says so in the
text, but I don't consider 2 FCs on a pulse-torp-and-beam BDN to be a
mere disadvantage - I consider it a crippling deficiency. I'd swap one
armour for an extra FC; it doesn't reduce the survivability of the ship
significantly, but it *does* improve the amount of firepower available
no end - particularly since this ship may well suffer treshold hits
before it has lost all its armour.
The CA has the same problem, but it isn't quite as important for that one
since it only has one pulse torp anyway.
Best wishes,

ah, so it does. i'll give it another PDS.

okay, okay, i'll add another FC. i don't really want to take off a point of
armour, for essentially aesthetic reasons (i currently follow the 2:1
hull:armour ratio exactly); instead, i'll take off one of the fairly
useless 1-batts. i'll do this for the Holland and Van Amstel classes.
thanks very much for your comments!
