Trappist-class Cruiser Orval

The Trappist class is a class of light cruisers for the Achtfadische Marine. The lead ship of the class, Orval, was laid down in 1935, and was commissioned in 1938 during a ceremony at Voss by Reichskanzler Hilarius himself. She is armed with a main battery of nine 15 cm guns in three triple turrets and can steam at a speed of 32 knots. Her torpedo armament consists of twelve tubes for a 53.3 cm torpedo. Her secondary armament and AA-armament comprises three twin 10.5 cm guns, two 7.5 cm guns, and an assortment of 40 mm and 20 mm anti-aircraft cannons.

She is fitted with a catapult to operate the two floatplanes that are usually carried, though a proper hangar is missing in order to decrease weight and to save space. The first two ships of the class are Orval and Westmalle, and others are on their way.

 

Inspired by the KMS Nürnberg, but with a more British approach.

 

Credit to Matt for his hull technique, and probably for some other things. Definitely stole some things from Awe too.
