The German High Seas Fleet Ship Logs have a 'Bulkhead' that can be marked off as damage, but there is no 'Bulkheade' damage (that I can see) on the 'Gun Fire Damage' table. Is this correct, or am I missing something? Many thanks for any clarifications.

Nope, you're not missing a thing. If you look at all of the national Damage CRTs for the BA-BD column, you'll notice that a 'Bulkhead' hit is not included on any of them. And this was by design. As to the Ship Logs for BA-BD armored ships having the 'Bulkhead' location, well, the Ship Logs were built on a common template for all ships, so the 'Bulkhead' damage location was just carried over from the template. In the case of ships with BB to BD armor, you can just ignore the 'Bulkhead' location. (In truth, the 'Bulkhead' location should probably have been removed for ships with BA-BD armor, but with all the logs that needed to be prepared, it was quicker and easier to just leave it place.)The German High Seas Fleet Ship Logs have a 'Bulkhead' that can be marked off as damage, but there is no 'Bulkheade' damage (that I can see) on the 'Gun Fire Damage' table.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, what I should have said was that the High Seas Fleet is the only navy with no 'Bulkhead' damage on the torpedo and mine table, not gunnery. Is this a reflection of stout German construction?Richard

Yes, this reflects the higher degree of sub-division that the Germans used in their large ships.Thanks for the reply.
