The Perfidious
KM 'Tome od Ostojića'
ⰕⰑⰏⰅ ⰑⰄ ⰑⰔⰕⰑⰨⰋⰜⰀ or Tome od Ostojića (Thomas of Ostojić), is an Ironclad Battleship based on the designs of the infamous naval designer Piotr Brosnov. Named after the duke of Ostojić and successful admiral, she and her class served as the flagships of their respective fleets. Her very wide and shallow design enabled her to easily crush pack ice, serving as an icebreaker in the frigid winter ocean, also minimizing her length, allowing for thicker deck armour over her vital machinery sections (her armour belt was not quite 2m tall), and her rotundity allowed her to turn on a dime by simply shutting off or reversing the inside engine. Powered by three double-expansion steam engines, each with their own boiler, she was actually able to make decent knottage for a ship of her girth, though her width did cause excess strain on the hull during inclement weather, having a tendency to slam through, rather than ride over, large waves.
Stats:
Year Commissioned: 1886
Length: 84 m
Width: 50 m
Displacement: ~9'950 tons
Main Guns: 2 * Double 13"
Secondaries: 6 * Single 6.4"
Tertiaries: 6 * Single 4.7"
Anti-TB: 12 * Single 2.1"
Armour: 10-13" Belt, 4.5" Deck
Speed: 15 kn
Range: 4'000 km
Last month, someone (me) posted pictures of the Russian yacht Livadia in the D&C discord, and Thomas of Tortuga and I both realized we'd built Popov vessels before. Mine had been lost in a hard drive crash, and his was painfully old and out-of-date, so we decided to have a build-off to see who could turn Livadia into a better 1880s-1890s battleship, based off of some wiki information implying the Russians actually intended to build a 12\'000-ton Battleship similar to her design, with Yodadud judging. This is my half of the result.
