Can anyone say, Budget mini Super Battleship? Is this the whistling of mini shells I hear?

Magazines were refrigerated to keep the powder at consistent temps for better burn.
I'm...not as convinced. I mean, the power grid in the US isn't that bad. And the infrastructure is still intact, no shelling of coastal areas, no attacks from carrier borne aircraft...so idk. Just jmpr being jmpr. Even my shitty barracks room in the middle of the desert in California had A/C.

Ah, but how effective were those air conditioners? Because air conditioning isn't always effective at doing it's job. It happens. Also, engines produce a lot of heat. The reduction in surface area from battleship-to-kanmusu might make that more difficult. Plus, Magical Sparkly Shipgirl Bullsh*tTM.

Well Saratoga as battlecruiser is a boiler farm. So much so that her original design stacked boiler and machinery rooms above the armored belt because that was the only room for them. And 7! stacks.
So she's probably like Kaga and the AC just can't keep up.
I am surprised that she hasn't thought about a swamp cooler tho.

Oh Christ above, you do not want a swamp cooler for humid environments. It just adds to the humidity. Personal experience.
T'was mean. That's one step away from Mud Wrestling.

Before AC that was your option other than suffering. Also, I'm just going off what friends of mine who grew up living in Florida around Eglin used because they didn't have AC.
And yes, production approved SaraCB did keep the machinery in the citadel, but that was still ALOT of boilers.

It's also a function of age. The barracks I stayed in on Ft Polk were WWII vintage. Rebuilt a little inside, and ours did have A/c, but a lot of the buildings are old, and I can see some of them either not having enough A/c, or at all.

A very nice ship. I think she could use more secondaries and anti-air, but I'm a pretty big fan of turret farm* designs, so I may not be the best person to comment on that.

I also like really big ships, as the longer diamond represents an Iowa-class

I concur. The last place you want to use a swamp cooler is near a swamp.

Check out those guns. 14"50, either Mark 4 or 6. Course, if this is wartime Super Sara, then they could be 16"50, Mark 2 or 3.

The 5"/38s didn't come into service until 1934 at the soonest, so that kind of upgrade would have to wait, or she would have had to make do with the 5"/25s that were heavy AA of choice since the 20s on US ships

That's a great picture of Texas and New York. I have one of them a couple berths down from Constitution, I just haven't figured out how to post pictures in here.

Old structures can have trouble keeping cold (or warm) air in, yeah. If there's a lot of people going in and out all the time, that could affect things as well. After all, open doors let the conditioned air out, and the natural air in.

When I got my first apartment, I turned the air conditioning up full on a hot July night and opened the front door. I called my mom and said. "Hi mom I got moved in just fine. Just wanted you to know I'm air conditioning the world right now."
It was worth the weeks of abuse she heaped on me for wasting money and air conditioning, just to hear her inarticulately screech at that.
..... The Lexington-class was designed from the ground up for 8 16"/50 rifles. They would have NEVER carried 14"/50 rifles.

Original design had 14inchers. Don't remember caliber off the top of my head. Probably '50.
*Looks up*
You're correct, they would have been 14/50s.

Do you want to get shelled? I can get Nagato if you do.
