No save blueprint. However if you lose and have to restart without leaving the game it rememebers until you exit the mission entirely.

This Imperial Chinese Superdreadnought was one of my more successful designs -- not very fast, but with 11 15-inch guns and plenty of 5-inch secondaries -- how can you go wrong?

  This design turned out to be a bit light even for a small battlecruiser despite its 6 13-inch guns:

I am having trouble with the torp/dd vs a battleship mission. After I take it down to 50-60% at long range the thing just runs. At close range I don't stand a chance.

   I can't do much with torpedoes either.  They don't seem to do a lot of damage.

It might depend on what size torpedo you are using or the BB's may have a torpedo belt.

I've experienced both extremes with once seeing an enemy battleship go down after being hit with a single salvo of about 4 torps and another time having a single enemy battleship hit by over 10 torpedoes and still cruising along with over 60% float and holding steady with the flooding.

Are torps supposed to be all that effective during this time period anyway?  ???

Basically no, but the SMS Pommern blew up spectacularly at Jutland after one torp hit.  Not likely at all in the current state of this game.

Jon Parshall, of the book Shattered Sword, did a study of torpedo attacks by the Japanese navy with the superb Type 93 Long Lance torpedo.  He figured that the hit percentage turned out to just over 6%.

Shattered Sword was one heck of a great book...!

My mistake.  The study I was thinking of was at the Navweps site by Joe Czarnicki.

Out of that 6%, what was the detonation rate; and from that percentage of percentage the damage effect?

There wasnt enough information to determine the rate of hits that were duds.  So it was 6.71% hits that exploded. 
Total number of hits was probably higher.
Damage from a Long Lance was usually catastrophic.  The article gives some descriptions.

Here is another look.     https://www.history.navy.mil/about-us/leadership/director/directors-corner/h-grams/h-gram-008/h-008-3.html

   There's a new update out.  Heavier guns are relatively more effective at long range now so my armored cruiser with an 11-inch gun did not do well against a semi-dreadnought.  Here's my hopeful armored cruiser:

How is the new update pushed to players? Do I have to go get it or is it automatic somehow?
