SRGW - China - Missing Fleet
Posted: Nov 02 2017
China does not begin SR-Great War with any naval units, and no shipyards. Historically, that is not accurate.
Suggest the following units be added:
1] 2 x Chao Ho class light cruisers:
Laid down: 1910
Comparable unit for rating: "Boardicea" class (UK).

----------
2]. 3 x Fei Po class torpedo boat destroyers
Laid down: 1910
Comparable unit for rating: S.90 class (Germany)

3] 1 x Lung Tuan class torpedo boat destroyer
Laid down: 1911
Comparable unit for rating: Huszar class (Austro-Hungary)

4] 1 x Ching Po class torpedo boat destroyer
Laid down: 1010
Comparable unit for rating: Pegaso class (Italy)

----------
5] 2 x Yung Feng class gunboats (PAT)
Laid down: 1912
Comparable unit for rating: [not sure; steel hull, 1x4"/102-mm, 1 x 57mm, etc.]

* Two further similar units, identified as "Yung Chien" class, laid down 1915.
-----------
There were also a series of torpedo boats, all could be rated "Pre-21st Century", as below;
torpedo gunboats
1. KUANG PING torpedo gunboats (1890-1894)
2. FEI TING torpedo gunboat (1894/1895)
3. FEI YING torpedo gunboat (1896)
4. CHIEN WEI torpedo gunboats (1903)
torpedo boats -
1. LEI ** torpedo boats (1884)
2. LEI CHEN torpedo boats (1885)
3. CHANG TSE torpedo boats (1895)
4. CHEN TSE torpedo boats (1896)
5. CHIEN 1 torpedo boat
6. HU PENG torpedo boats (1906-1907)
----------
Comment. It is difficult enough to play China at this point but with no shipyards (should be 2 - Jiangnan Shipyard, Shanghai, and Canton Shipyard, Canton (Guangzhou), not having any naval units makes it all the more unrealistic.
Thanks for considering.
