Red Star Class Battleship
Due to the recent exports by Osean Naval Industries(ONI), combined with recent changes in Osean naval designs, the Osean navy soon required a new battleship design. What ONI came up with was the Red Star Class Battleship.
The Red Star Class does not have thicker armour than other Osean battleship designs. This is because, rather than relying heavily on armour, which is still very thick, the design makes heavy use of point defence weapons, combined with jamming, decoys and VLS launched SAMs to make it next to impossible for enemies to hit the ship, except through use of large amounts of large, high end anti ship weapons. These are usually very expensive and make taking out a Red Star a very costly affair.
As for it's armament, it has a large battery of long range cruise missiles to engage enemy ships from extreme distances. It also has shorter ranged missiles to engage targets that are at close ranges and deal with large numbers of small combat ships.It also has a gun armament of 12 18.6 inch guns mounted in 4 triple turrets. Two are fitted forward and two are fitted to the aft section of the ship. It also has 20 5.5 inch dual purpose electro-thermal guns mounted in 10 dual turrets, giving it a heavy punch in gun combat.
The vessel also is capable of holding a complement of aircraft of about 10 Helicopters or VTOL aircraft and 8 UAVs. Normally, the vessel is given 6 VTOL fighters to give it some air cover and 4 helicopters. The 8 UAVs are usually reconnaissance models, used to spot targets for the ship.
