The Class of 2014 climbed the risers on the Plain on Thursday, April 10, 2014 for their class photo. Always a fun event to capture. The Class photo will be available from PanFoto in the very near future.

On the left Class 58 58002 'Daw Mill Colliery' sits in the bay platform with its van destined for Harwich. 58021 'Hither Green Depot' passes by with the commonplace 6M32 empties from Tilbury in late 1997.
Class 08 D3022 at the servicing area at Bewdley on the Severn Valley Railway. This diesel electric shunting locomotive was built in 1953 which makes it 60 years old as I write this .Nearly 1000 of this class were built. It is incredible that some are still in service with Britain’s mainline railway operators.

Named after their primary shipyards installation, the Sovernmy-class destroyer is the Straser Imperium's response to the Casian Dart-class. While designs for a universal destroyer were already in the works within the Imperial Navy, the start of the Feral War halted new productions. Once the Great Scouring was over and the Casian Federal Navy unveiled the Dart-class, a new design was quickly adopted and put into production. Supposedly designed by Alferd Sovernmy himself, the Sovernmy class destroyer is considered slightly overweight for a destroyer, approaching the size of a frigate, but it makes good use of this extra weight, which comes mostly from armoured hull portions. In fact, the Sovernmy is the most heavily armoured destroyer class on the Continent. It sacrifices speed and maneuverability for this, but it also has a respectable amount of weapons, featuring seven light repeaters, four aerial torpedo launchers and one missile launcher. These weapons are sparsely distributed along the hull, further increasing survivability.
The Sovernmy class is in many ways an opposite to the Dart class, favoring armour over weapons whereas the Dart crams as much firepower as possible onto its hull. In theory, these two destroyer types should be relatively evenly-matched, with the Sovernmy's higher numbers giving it the advantage. In practice, however, the slow speed of the Sovernmy denies it the ability to avoid the Dart's massive firepower, and allows the Dart class to stay out of range of the Imperials' slightly less capable guns while staying in range of their own guns. Consequently, Sovernmy class destroyers are always deployed in large numbers, usually with a larger vessel in support. While this gives the Imperial Navy a strong fist, it lacks strategic mobility and tactical flexibility.
The Sovernmy class was too late to see action during the Feral War, but saw its first action soon after in the Annexation Conflict, proving itself very capable when deployed in large numbers. It reinforced its reputation further during the Rasyan Civil War, which was the first conflict in which it was pitted against the Dart class. The results were inconclusive, with neither class destroying the other in any significant numbers. However, it was during the Continental War that the Sovernmy was truly put to the test. The backbone of the Imperial Navy, more numerous than any other warship on the Continent, was thrust against the might of the Allied Nations.
It is doubtful whether the Allied navies could have individually beaten the colossal weight of the Imperial Navy, but together, they managed to secure victory after victory, the Sovernmy was just not capable enough on its own to stand agianst its foes, and large fleets are easier to track and ambush.
Overall, while lacking in terms of pure performance, the Sovernmy is still a foe to be reckoned with, and its ease of production and low cost have made it a favorite of navies throughout the Continent, many of whom do not hesitate to buy warships from a nation they were once at war with.
