HIMS St. Joseph

ЕИВК Святой Джозеф

 

The HIMS St. Joseph, named after the earthly father of our Savior, is Anady'rs first aircraft carrier and the new flagship of the Northern Fleet. Finished in mid-January, laziness prevented it from being published until now. It took about two weeks of solid, Christmas Vacation level uninterrupted work to finish it; I shudder to imagine building this during the school year.

 

The St. Joseph was fitted with a experimental turbo-electric drive, granting her greatly increased range, speed, and maneuverability. Furthermore, it allowed the St. Joseph to travel forwards and backwards at the same speeds. The powerful generators produce enough electricity to power a small city. However, the system was expensive and took up a lot of space in the ship, and on subsequent carriers it was replaced with a more conventional powerplant.

 

The initial of the ship's name is painted on the smokestack to help pilots find their way home. These ships are fast and very well-protected, but have a low plane capacity for their size. In addition, the borscht tends to be infested with maggots, rats run wild through the halls, and there's always a strange smell that nobody can get rid of. Eh, the Patriarch says self-mortification is the path to righteousness. There's no way this could backfire.
