The 2012 Damage Point Standard: America’s Navy 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 , 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 prod- uct 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. 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 aircraft carriers first, then submarines, followed by major combatants, minor com- batants, amphibious ships, mine warfare craft, auxiliaries, then civilian vessels. An alphabetical list of ships by class name is provided,Sample beginning on the next page. file 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 Navy 3

Abbreviations US ELECTRONIC DESIGNATION SYSTEM Annex Y lists all the ship type abbreviations, e.g., "CV" for All US and some Western electronic systems use a designa- . tion system that describes the equipment with a three-letter The abbreviations for the ship weapon arcs are described code. A typical example is the surface ship search radar listed in section 2.2 of the rules. in Annex J, the SPS-10 Other abbreviations used in this annex are: SPS-10 ABL Armored Box Launcher ACINT Acoustic Intelligence S: The first letter stands for the platform carrying the equip- ACM Acoustic Countermeasures ment: AMDS Advanced Mine Detection Sonar ASDS Advanced Swimmer Delivery System A: piloted aircraft P: portable Blk Block B: submarine S: surface ship BMD Ballistic Missile Defense C: pilotless carrier T: ground transportable BPDMS Basic Point Defense Missile System F: fixed ground P: man-portable CEC Cooperative Engagement Capability G: general ground U: multi-platform COMINT Communications Intelligence K: amphibious V: ground vehicular ELINT Electronic Intelligence M: ground mobile W: surface ship or sub use ESSM Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile FCS Fire Control System P: The second letter is the general type of equipment fl Full load displacement FRAM Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization A: invisible light or IR N: sound in air GFCS Gunfire Control System C: carrier P: radar LCAC Landing Craft, Air Cushion D: radiac Q: sonar lt, ltshp Lightship displacement G: telegraph or teletype R: radio MCM Mine Countermeasures I: interphone, public addr.

TT Torpedo Tube VLS Vertical Launch System Other examples: WAA Wide-Aperture Array BQQ-2 is a submarine sonar with several functions. SAR-8 is a surface ship IR passive detector. AWG-9 is an aircraft weapons control system. SPY-1 is a surface ship radar used for surveillance and control.

Technically, all electronic designations are supposed to start with “AN/,” for example, “AN/WLR-1.” The letters Samplestand for “Army-Navy,” indicating thatfile this is a Joint system. A “(V)” with a number at the end, like “SLQ-32(V)3” denotes a version of the basic equipment. A-1 America’s Navy
