I have done considerable work on a Russo-Japanese War version.

I'm not 100% happy with it. I was using beam weapon ideas for guns, but
naval
guns don't have linear probabilities. I've figured away around that,
though. 

In the end, it doesn't look a LOT like FT. It's only about 30% FT with
another
30% FT inspired. For instance, hull boxes work ala FT. So do thresholds.
Critical systems, though, are similar to that used in FT but obviously
expanded. Movement is a fair bit different.
