Hrímfaxi Class Dreadnought
In late 1915 Heimdallr Engineering drew up plans for a class of dreadnought that could carry a major punch. This dreadnought was christened the Hrímfaxi after the horse that carries the night through the sky in Norse mythology. This ship is believed to be stong enough to devastate its enemies. Now these ships are being used to protect convoys against the Whispering Mare, the brutal pirate cruiser that had attacked us at an earlier point, and was repelled miraculously by one of our older Vilhelm class cruiser. Some native Emmerians say when these two ghostly stallions meet in a final battle the world might end. The cannons on the Hrimfaxi are actually lighter then what designers had originally envisioned. To save money, and make it slightly more stable planned 13inch guns were downsized to 12inches. A much larger secondary armament used to stand off against lighter ships was added to engage at close range, and kawaii sparkles were added into the steel hull by foreign visitors for good luck against the Mare. We have some strange neighbors what can I say. Torpedo nets can also be lowered to protect the center mass against the sneaky menaces of torpedo boats, and subs although the protection provided is minor. These are planned to spearhead naval engagements against enemy fleets. They are no pushovers, and can level a military port or beachhead with ease. Armor is decent, and they are quite slow to compensate for weight. These will likely be used to defend Emmeria against agitators.
The heavy weight of the secondary armament slows the ship considerably, but we don't plan on fighting wars overseas any time soon. Our ships may likely be fighting more defensive wars to protect our sea from whoever would go to war with us.
The Hrimfaxi is armed with
x8 -12 inch main guns,
x12 - 8 inch guns,
x20 -5 inch guns,
x6 torpedo tubes.
It can cruise at speeds of 10 knots, and its max speed is around 20 knots.
I'm ship illiterate so feel free to give me any advice, and don't yell at me =)
My next ship might be a seaplane tender, or even a battleship mounting 15inch guns. I don't have the production points, or oil in D&C yet to build such a ship so I don't know if it will be a priority. Also something happened at the maximum security prison in the Bellehausen river near the city of Gutherburg. Events are being kept under wraps for now.
Masts are inspired by Backwards Matt, and smoke stacks "whatever they are called on ships" are based off of the ones used by Ian.
