- Torpedo Boat:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Name: Aamaal (Åmål); Dalsland's chartered city in 1643. The Super Type A Cruiser is called Dalsland.
- Stats are the following - it is fully simulated in Springsharp:
- size: 80 m lwl, 7.5 beam, 2.55 draught
- 857 t normal, block coeff 0.555 normal
- 2x1 DP 12 cm/50 (4.7") Models 1924, 1924B and 1924C

- 20 reloads
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- at 19,000 shp she can make 29.77915 knots
- using IJN Matsu machinery, 19,000 shp weighs 325 t
- 23 knots at 5,774 hp gives 309 t as the highest engine weight
- with 19,000 shp input her bunker max is 160 t and her bunker normal is 89 t, with 3500 nmi range at 14 kts
- the report gives her breakdown as:
- Armament: 92 tons, 10.8 %
- - Guns: 39 tons, 4.6 %
- - Weapons: 53 tons, 6.2 %
- Armour: 154 tons, 17.9 %
- - Belts: 22 tons, 2.6 %
- - Armament: 22 tons, 2.5 %
- - Armour Deck: 108 tons, 12.6 %
- - Conning Tower: 2 tons, 0.2 %
- Machinery: 177 tons, 20.7 %
- Hull, fittings & equipment: 304 tons, 35.4 %
- Fuel, ammunition & stores: 130 tons, 15.2 %
- Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %
- therefore, her weights when docked in *Dalsland* will be:
- (from her normal displacement of 857):
- hull: below water: 428.5 t + 170 t extra bunker & stores = 598.5
- hull: above water: 428.5 t
