Joerckburg class gunboat
Named after the battle in which Vinland won its independence, this class of gunboats was designed and built to provide light fire support in the "new navy" of the 1880's. Part of the "Revolutionary Flotilla," she was built and equipped much like the larger cruisers of the time, with a full sailing rig and six 6in guns, as well as a number of much smaller guns and autocannons. As powerful as she is for a gunboat of her time, the Joerckburg and her sisters are also known for their tendency for things to go wrong. The ships spend a lot of downtime in ports repairing mechanical issues, particularly having to do with the engines, which always seem to be on the fritz. One of these days, something is gonna happen, and it's not gonna be good.
