The 2012 Damage Point Standard: America’s Aircraft uses the “2012 Standard” to calculate a ship’s damage points. This method, described in the April 2012 issue of the Naval SITREP (hence the name) matches historical results more closely than the older “2006 Standard” used in older supplements. If you are using ship data from more than one Admiralty Trilogy publication, make sure that the damage points have all been calculated using the 2012 Standard. Annex Notes: The information on the platforms, weapons, and sensors in this annex has been standardized so that it is compatible and consistent with all Admiralty Trilogy games. Equipment that was used in more than one era will have the same statistics in all games. Information in this Annex is compatible with Harpoon 5th edition. The Annex designations are standardized for all four Admiralty Trilogy games: Dawn of the Battleship, Fear God & Dread Nought, Command at Sea, and Harpoon. Gaps in the sequence are caused by annexes that are not applicable to that era or product. If there is information in another Trilogy publication that conflicts with the data printed here, use the information in the product with the newest copyright date, since new information and corrections can change statistics. If you have a question about the conflict, or about any other data listed, please contact us at [email protected]. Except for Annex A, systems are listed in their annexes alphabetically, first by country, then by name. The ships in Annex A are listed in traditional order, with capital ships first, followed by minor combatants, submarines, mine warfare craft, auxiliaries, then civilian vessels. An alphabetical list of ships by class name is provided beginning on the next page. Systems listed in italics never entered service. They existed only as hypothetical designs, in prototype or developmental form. Ships with a year in parentheses following their name have been radically altered since they entered service, and were operational in their new configuration in the listed year.

America’s Aircraft

US Aircraft and Missile Designations From 1922 to September 1962, the US Navy used a three-character designation system for its aircraft: A letter designating the aircraft's function, the number of that design from the manufacturer, and a letter indicating the manufacturer. This was used throughout WW II, and since this annex’s coverage begins in 1955, Navy aircraft extant or introduced into service before 1962 will have designations using this system. In 1962, the Navy changed aircraft designations to a single letter indicating its type and a number indicating its sequence in that type. This was called the Tri-Service Designation system, since the Army, Navy, and Air Force were unified under a single system. The Tri-Service system also changed some designations for the US Army Air Corps/US Air Force, notably, the Pursuit type ("P-") became the Fighter (“F-”). This annex will use the post-1962 Tri-Service designation for aircraft that came into service before 1962. The few Navy aircraft that did not receive a new designation in 1962 (because they were taken out of service by then) will be listed first, in alphabetical order, followed by the rest with their Tri-Service designations. Here is a list of US aircraft in the annex with both a pre- and a post-1962 designation: Old AD AJ A2F A3D A4D A3J DSN FJ F3H F4H

A Note on Ordnance Loadouts

In addition to abbreviations for guidance types and other terms defined in the rules, the following abbreviations are also used:

Due to reasons of space and ease of reading, not all possible combinations are included in a plane’s ordnance loadout. For example, where a Mk82 bomb is carried, it can be replaced by a Mk82SE or Mk82AIR. Likewise, Mk84AIR can replace Mk84. When setting up a scenario, check Annex B and the weapons Annexes to find any applicable weapons and aircraft upgrades. For example, in a 1980 scenario involving an F-111F, the AVQ-26 Pave Tack is not available. (see F-111F Remarks for 1982). The Mk82 is always available on the F-111F since the Mk82 entered service in 1950s and the F-111F in 1972. The Mk82SE entered service in 1964 so is still available in 1980. However, the Mk82AIR did not enter service until 1986 so is not available until that year. Possible ordnance loadouts are best determined before game play, to work out weapon delivery tactics. Some weapons are not integrated on an aircraft until well after their initial IOC, and an aircraft that might be able to carry a weapon may never be cleared to carry it because of cost or lack of need. For example, the GBU-31 entered service in 1998 (Annex H2), but was not fitted to the F-16C Block 25-32 until March 2003. The F-16A Block 15OCU was retired in 2007, but never received the GBU-31. To summarize, if an Annex B entry has a date for weapon, that is when it entered service on that aircraft. If there is no date, it entered service on that aircraft as listed in the weapon’s annex.

Notes: 1) Navy aircraft like the AJ Savage and F-3 Demon can only use buddy stores to refuel. 2) The following aircraft were also capable of carrying a buddy store: A-1H/J (1.4), A-4B/C/L (2.4), A-4E/F (2.2), A-4M (2.5), A-5A (4.3), A-6A/B/C (3.7), A-6E (4.5), A-7A/B (2.3), A-7C/E (2.6), AF-1E Fury (4.2), AJ-2 Savage (2.5), S-3A/B, ES-3A (2.2), F-3E Demon (4.5), F/A-18E/F (5.2), F5D-1 (4.1). MQ-25A Stingray (2.7) To find the offload factor for two aircraft not on the table, divide the fuel rate of the plane carrying the buddy store by the fuel rate of the aircraft receiving the fuel. For example, if an S-3B (fuel rate 2.2) wanted to transfer fuel to an F-14D (fuel rate 3.4), the offload rate is 2.2/3.4 = 0.6 The F-14D burns more fuel per nmi than the S-3, so if the S-3 transfers 300 nmI of its range to the F-14, it adds 300 * 0.6, or 180 nmi to the F-14D.

Notes: aActive sonars have the frequency they transmit on marked with a superscript “a.” 1) Unless otherwise noted, sonobuoys and dipping sonars can reach depths of Intermediate II or deeper. 2) Unless otherwise noted, sonobuoys are standard NATO A-size (see Sonobouy Sizes below). 3) * : Aural sonobuoys have no processor; the operator listens directly to the sonobuoy output. SSQ-1 has 8 auditory channels, the SSQ-2 family has 16 channels. A maximum of six sonobuoys can be listened to per Tactical Turn. 4) SSQ-77B can use direct path or CZ propagation path. The path must be chosen before the sonobuoy is dropped and cannot be changed once deployed. 5) SSQ-77C is the only DIFAR sonobuoy that can use both direct path and CZ propagation paths. The player chooses which path each Tactical Turn via CFS6. 6) CFS: Command Function Select. Sonobuoys with this feature can remotely change RF frequency channels, alter sonobuoy life to include command scuttle, switch between acoustic channels (SSQ-53F/G) or propagation paths (SSQ-77C). DICASS sonobuoys can also change sensor depth, only deeper, as well as selecting which Tactical Turns the sonobuoy transmits and which waveform to use (SSQ-125A). 7) GPS: The sonobuoy is equipped with Global Positioning System (satellite navigation) receiver and can send its exact position along with any detected acoustic data. 8) "Julie" EER: Julie Explosive Echo Ranging (uses Mk 50 and 60 series point explosive charges as the LMF sound source). SSQ-53F and G and SSQ-77B are the receivers for explosive echo ranging (EER) sound sources. The active range for these sonobuoys are for EER only. This aircraft must fly within 3 nmi of the sonobuoy and drop EER sound sources in that Tactical Turn. EER sources are considered to be LF transmissions for Layer purposes. 9) SS6 Capable: The sonobuoy has been modified to be able to function in Sea State 6 seas. 10) Acronyms: ADAR: Air Deployable Active Receiver AEER: Advanced Extended Echo Ranging (uses SSQ-125/125A as the sound source) CASS: Command Activated Sonobuoy System DIFAR: Directional Frequency Analysis and Recording DICASS: Directional CASS EER: Extended Echo Ranging (uses SSQ-110/110A/110B as sound sources) IEER: Improved Extended Echo Ranging (uses SSQ-110/110A/110B as sound sources) LOFAR: Low Frequency Analysis and Recording VLAD: Vertical Line Array DIFAR 11) Sonobuoy Size: Size Type Dimensions Weight Remarks A: 4.875 in x 36 in (124mm x 914mm) 15.5 - 39 lbs (7 - 17.7 kg) NATO standard sonobuoy size, fits in external launch tubes.

Notes: 1) Sonobuoy loadouts by size A/B/C. 2) Sonobuoy processors can process data from sonobouys of the same generation and one earlier. 3) Channel allocation based on the standard that a LOFAR sonobuoy uses one channel. Generation 5 and 6 processors that use DIFAR, DICASS, and ADAR sonobuoys require two channels per sonobuoy. DIFAR, DICASS, and ADAR sonobuoys with Generation 7 processors require only one channel per sonobuoy. 4) SSQ-53 series DIFAR sonobuoys become the primary search sensor for platforms with Generation 6 and 7 processors. 5) Ship-based sonobuoy processors require radar LOS between the helicopter and ship to be used. 6) TT: Tactical Turn
