Kiss the two Tone class CAs good bye. Do you know that the two Tones sat on blocks for 29 months! That's way too long to tie up a slipway. Anyway after many redos I came up with my build list.
In the Yamato/Hull No.111 dry dock available from 9/37 to 5/42.
On 9/1/37 six Kageru class DDs are laid down. These fit in the dry dock in two rows of three, one in front of the other. Kagerus had an average keel to water build time of 11 months. These six ships launch on or about 7/30/1938. Give a month to clean up and set up for the next batch.
On 9/1/38 a second group of six Kageru DDs are laid down. These launch on 7/30/1939. Again give a month for clean/set up.
On 9/1/39 a third group of six Kageru DDs are laid down. These launch on 7/30/1940.
Give a month.
On 9/1/40 six Yugumo class DDs are laid down. These also fit in the dry dock in two rows of three, one in front of the other. Yugumos had an average keel to water build time of 10 months. So these launch on 6/30/41. Give a month.
On 8/1/41 a second group of six Yugumos are laid down. These are launched on 5/31/1942 and were done with this dry dock.
On the Musushi slipway available from 3/29/38 to 11/1/40.
On 4/1/38 twenty four CH-4 class sub chasers are laid down. These fit on the slipway in four rows of six on one in front of the other. CH-4s had an average keel to water build time of five months. These ships launch on 8/31/38. Give a month.
On 10/1/38 six Kageru DDs are laid down. These launch on 8/31/39. Give a month.
On 10/1/39 six more Kagerus are laid down and they launch on 8/31/40. We are now done with this slipway.
On the Shinano slipway available from 5/4/40 to 10/8/44.
On 5/4/40 six Yugumo DDs are laid down, these launch on 2/4/41. Give a month, minus four days.
On 4/1/41 six more Yugumos are laid down and launch on 1/30/42. a month later.
On 3/1/42 twelve Etorofu class escorts are laid down. These fit on the slipway in three rows of four. The Etorofus had an average build time of eight months. They launch the end of 10/42. A month passes.
The beginning of Dec 42 twelve Mikura class Es are laid down. In same lay out as above, but the Mikuras only take five months to build. These launch the end of 4/43. Add a month.
6/1/43 twelve more Mikuras are laid down. They hit the water the end of 10/43. Skip a month.
12/1/43 twelve Ukuru class Es are laid down. Thanks to some prefabrication, the Ukurus had a build time of four months. These twelve launch 3/31/44. For the last time add a month.
5/1/44 twelve more Ukurus are started. They finish the end of 9/44 and we are done.
Totals:
30 x Kageru class DDs.....60,990 tons
24 x Yugumo class DDs....49,848
12 x Etotofu class Es........10,440
24 x Mikura class Es.........22,560
24 x Ukuru class Es..........22,560
24 x CH-4 class SCs..........6,984
Total tons used...............173,382
