Down the Rabbit Hole - A Kancolle RP (OOC)

[The Selkie]

In all seriousness I suppose I should cover this. Anything explicit is beyond the scope of this RP. It can happen, as an organic RP anything can, but I ask everyone to keep it south of erotica please. Lest the mods come down on us.

Understood.

[Novaya Equestria]

I've decided to quit the RP. I don't bloody care what you people say, but I request that my characters are to be retcon'd from the whole RP.

That isnt going to happen. Youve chosen to leave and they are now NPCs.

Personnel file - Operational Sector Eastern Sea - West

Name: HMS Shujianga (水劍桿; aka "Suja / S-11")
Type: Submarine
Class: Kaeru Class Submarine
Role: Hunter Killer, Reconnaissance, and Mobile Radio Station
Nation of Origin: Matriarch of Autocosm
Year Commissioned: April 1946
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:

Shujianga is a 183cm tall female with long legs and a skinny body build, dressed in a black rubber single-piece jumpsuit, with khaki patches of rubber added on top of it. It should be noted that Shujianga wears no form of shoes/boots, thus walking almost essentially barefoot if not for her jumpsuit and the metal plating and claws on her feet. Along with sparse and lightweight metal plating on the knees, shoulders, and her face (thus completely masking her facial identity except her short brown hair), she is equipped in numerous straps that are either holding her armor plates together or fastening holsters and pouches to her body. With all this clothing combined, it is impossible to determine whether or not what color is her skin and eyes, combined with the inability to properly identify her unless one removes her facial armor plates. In fact, due to her armored and ninja-like appearance, it wouldn't be surprising for some to mistaken her for an abyssal.

Gender: Female
Character: Shujianga's personality is a mystery to non-Autocosmic kanmusu and most submarine shipboys/girls. Actions always speak for themselves when it comes to Shujianga, however, since she is someone who only speaks with simplicity and an oligosynthetic vocabulary. In addition, her voice is clinical and monotone, speaking in short sentences and a cold tone, thus making her sound and act very much robotic than human. Combined with her unemotional and cold attitude and mannerism, she knows no such thing hesitation or mercy on the battlefield. While she cares for her fellow shipboys/girls, she will have no problem leaving them to their deaths/consequences if they are to act disobediently or undesirably, especially if he/she is endangering the safety and well-being of the group. (Bonus Content: Her Theme Song)
Special Abilities: Due to Shujianga's anechoic tiles and nearly robotic appearance, she can be mistaken for an abyssal at ranges or in the dark, or sometimes by sheer dumb luck, whom she can simply play along; however, this special ability is a figurative double edged sword. That's because on the other hand, Shujianga's ability to be mistakenly identified as an abyssal can lead to her fellow teammates to temporarily assume that she is the enemy ... until they get up close enough and identify her by physical appearance, voice, or both.

Technical Description of the vessel:

Technical Data
Displacement: 2,100 - 2,270 tons (Surfaced) or 2,650 - 2,980 tones (Submerged)
Length (overall): 70 meters
Width: 10 meters
Draught: 6.4 meters
Propulsion: Two diesel engines and two electric motors
Speed: 12 knots (Surfaced) or 22 knots (Submerged)
Complement: 49 - 52
Armament: Four 533mm torpedo tubes (22 torpedoes) and
Armour: N/A (Except anechoic tiles)
Notes: Shujianga's round and thick hull allows her to withstand the blast waves from nearby depth charges, further supplemented by redundant struts and ribs reinforcing her interior integrity; however, this comes as the cost of incredibly cramped and simplistic crew comfort - this comes in the form of the tight jumpsuit that Shujianga wears.

Welcome to the team my man

[Jebslund]

Personnel file - Operational Sector Eastern Sea - West

Name: Wespennest
Type: Carrier
Class: Bienenstock (Bienenstock Ausf. C, to be specific)
Role: Strike carrier, anti-ship focused
Nation of origin: Jebslund
Year commissioned: 1947
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:
Wespennest has shoulder-length black hair, which she wears in a ponytail, and green skin. Wespennest wears a blue Wasserarmee officer's uniform, a garment meant to visually resemble diving suits of the era, without the weights and helmet, and with rubber boots instead of metal, the soles designed to be as slip-resistant as the mid-1940's can muster. Her facial features are sharp and angular, her waist is waspish, and she has long legs. A patch on her left shoulder bears the insignia of seven wasps in flight.

In ship form, she looks much as she did as a ship.

Gender: Female
Character:
Wespennest is generally cool and collected, keeping a level head in combat and social situations alike. She is difficult to anger, and, while strict, deals patiently with subordinates, caring for them and constantly training and retraining in an almost motherly way. That said, managing to piss Wespennest off is dangerous bordering on suicidal, and in battle, no quarter is given to the enemy, even as she watches them burn with an eerily calm demeanor.

Wespennest is very proud of her aircraft, particularly the bombers, and treats them more like pets than equipment. She does, however, somewhat resenting her elder sister, Hornissennest, having more prestige than her and having been issued jet fighters before her. While she does not allow this resentment to impede in obeying orders and performing her duties, she won't be found having an off-duty drink with her sister ship, either.

Special abilities:
Schwarm: Her aircraft do twice as much damage (stacking) for every four aircraft firing on the same target (all aircraft attacking said target must have actually fired/dropped munitions for it to count.

Wespennest is the third of her class, after Bienenstock and Hornissennest, and is the first of the C variant, outfitted with more bombers than fighters as a start toward dividing the Bienenstock class into three roles: Anti-air, anti-ship, and strike/support. Wespennest, and the "Wespen" after her, were issued more strike craft than interceptors for the purposes of delivering more munitions on a given target, using aircraft more likely to survive anti-air fire.

Name: Mord
Type: Carrier
Class: Gemeinde
Role: Escort carrier
Nation of origin: Jebslund
Year commissioned: 1946
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:
Mord keeps her raven hair long and plain, about to her mid-back, with her bangs covering her eyes when not in battle. In battle, her bangs move away from her eyes of their own accord, revealing bright red eyes which shine when she laughs. On her blue Wasserarmee uniform's left sleeve is a patch with a stylised side-profile of a crow with broken pieces of a plane beneath its beak. She's shorter than Hornissennest and Wespennest, but taller than Mary Read Kerman

Her ship form resembles her steel-and-oil ship.

Gender: Female
Character:
Mord is deceptively timid, acting as a follower rather than a leader, and preferring to avoid conflict when given a choice. Outside of battle, she prefers to be invisible, keeping to herself and using her body language to be as small and unremarkable as possible, as a way of discouraging closeness in others.

The battlefield, however, is where her true personality emerges. Any Abyssal fighter foolish enough to approach any ships under her watch are liable to be swarmed by her interceptors, Mord laughing all the way as she scans for more targets. Her thirst for combat doesn't just extend to defense and battle, either. Her bombers, though few in number, are her most prized aircraft, eliciting loud, almost-caw-like laughter when they sink a ship, and her adaptability has seen her through battles others of her class might have died in.

Special abilities:
Ich schnorre wie ein Corvid!: Mord is able to make light repairs with things she finds lying around and a roll of duct tape. In battle, she occasionally finds she had more ammo than she thought.

First commissioned in 1946, the Gemeinde-class was created as a cheap and quick alternative to the Schwarmträger-class (The Bienenstock-class's predecessor) strike carrier. A compromise between combat effectiveness and rapid mass-production, it was originally intended to be a semi-disposable alternative to full-size carriers that could serve as escort and long-range defense for battleships during assault missions, as well as being attached to permanent base defense fleets for bases that were either without airstrips or were deemed under-armed in terms of air power. As the service careers of the ships in this class wore on, and more survived their missions than expected, it was determined that they would be equally useful in regular fleets as air-support escorts, and as escorts for strike carriers, allowing the larger flattops to send all of their aircraft to battle while still having a strong CAP presence, as well as taking torpedo hits for the larger, more expensive ships.

Name: Herde
Type: Carrier
Class: Gemeinde
Role: Escort carrier
Nation of origin: Jebslund
Year commissioned: 1946
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:
Herde keeps her shoulder-length hair in pigtails, the white hair streaked with blue and black highlights. Her brown eyes are never hidden by her bangs, which she keeps short and cute, and her uniform's left shoulder bears a patch with a bluejay insignia. She is the same height as her sister, Mord. Unlike Mord, her delight at receiving attention has lead her to wear whatever jewelry and makeup she can get away with, often using feathers as accessories to test the limits of what her superiors will put up with.

Her ship form is, well, her steel-and-oil ship.

Gender: Female
Character:
*Extremely* chatty, Herde loves nothing more than socialising, and will take any opportunity she can find to interact with others, occasionally to the point of being overbearing, making her popular with Jubelnleiterin-class light cruisers, and unpopular with Mord. She is generally a happy, bubbly sort, though not to the extent that Jubelnleiterin-class light cruisers are, and she loves to sing and dance when she has the chance (including with mops and brooms while cleaning).

Special abilities:
Ich werde dir ein Lied singen!: Herde sings a song, fostering courage in any allies who can hear her and are willing to listen.
Ich werde dich mobben! Geh weg, Falke!: When facing Elite or Kai fighters, Herde's aircraft are twice as tough and deal twice as much damage for each additional fighter facing the same target. Her Spatzes gain this buff against jet fighters, as well.

Name: Vier Jahreszeiten
Type: Destroyer tender
Class: Herberge
Role: Support ship
Nation of origin: Jebslund
Year commissioned: 1943
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:
Vier Jahreszeiten, like her sister, Kerriott, has short, white hair, green skin, and wears a Wasserarmee uniform, a garment meant to visually resemble diving suits of the era, without the weights and helmet, and with rubber boots instead of metal, the soles designed to be as slip-resistant as the mid-1940's can muster. She also keeps her hair short, though hers is usually in a pixie cut, and she has the same short and stocky build. Over her hair, Vier Jahreszeiten wears a beret with "GM" embroidered into it, short for "Gruppenmediziner", which is embroidered onto a patch on her arm.

Her ship form looks the same as she looked in her steel-and-oil days.

Gender: Female
Character:
Vier Jahreszeiten Is a medic to the core, preferring to stay out of firefights when her guns aren't needed, and always being willing to tend to someone's wounds, be they friend or foe, though the latter will be captured after being stabilised. That said, Vier Jahreszeiten will fight if ordered to, and she will not hesitate to defend her patients and any ships assigned to her care. Socially, Vier Jahreszeiten tends to be warm and caring, though she can sometimes be a bit rigid as far as interacting with subordinates and superiors goes. Her off-duty persona is somewhat less so, but, in general, she prefers to keep to her peers and let the officers and her subordinates, when she has any, associate with others of their station.

Special abilities:
Vier Jahreszeiten is the closest thing to a miracle worker there is among the Herberge-class in terms of medical care goes, able to stabilise Kanmusu most other medics might write off as dead (though her skills aren't good enough to *literally* resurrect the dead.). Her cooking skills are merely average, however.

History and description (A few sentences or so describing it's history and how it performs directly.)
The mainstay torpedo bomber prior to the Maschinenteuful, the Seefalke, or Seagull, was a torpedo bomber and occasional dive-bomber used in the Jebslund Wasserarmee from 1939 to 1950, by which time they had been phased out. Considered by many to be the spiritual predecessor to the Fliegendewaffel in terms of being designed to take a beating and keep on going, with some aircraft having survived having entire ammunition stores emptied into them by enemy aircraft. Due to this, the Seefalke had a reputation amongst pilots of being a sturdy, dependable bird.
Ability: Meine?: Allows all Seefalkes in the air to see any enemy units visible to any one Seefalke.

Maximum altitude: 10,500m
Armament:
2x30mm cannon
6x 24kg rockets
History and description (A few sentences or so describing it's history and how it performs directly.)
Mainstay escort fighter prior to the Maschinenteuful. The Spatz, or Sparrow, was often mocked by pilots for its seemingly backward configuration, though most agreed that it wasn't such a bad aircraft once it got airborne. Once, that is, the kinks in the original A-C variants were worked out. Design issues and delays in the production of its engine had threatened to end the project before production could begin, but Kermanic science and determination won out. Its limited utility against ships, however, eventually saw its replacement being equipped for torpedo runs in addition to escort duties.
Ability: Herde: If there are eight or more Spatzes in a flight, each Spatz in the flight has double the top speed and does 50% more damage. Does not stack with any other buffs. If the number of Spatzes in the flight drops below eight for any reason, the ability cancels and the speed and damage return to normal.

History and description (A few sentences or so describing it's history and how it performs directly.)
The Geisterfledermaus (Ghost Bat) is a jet-powered flying wing aircraft, similar in appearance to the Horton Ho-229, which serves as a dedicated night strike bomber and test platform for Kermanic stealth aircraft technology and techniques. Names for the high-pitched screech of its engines and flying wing shape, the night fighter serves as a surprise attacker, its screeching engines often being the first sign of attack. The craft features paint in dark shades of gray in a camouflage pattern which makes it much harder to see in the dark, chosen by the Jebslunden Air Ministry after multiple trials to see what paint job would be most effective for a night fighter.
Ability: Geist: Allows the Geisterfledermaus to temporarily become invisible to both sight and radar. Any hits taken (even by stray rounds/friendly fire), or any use of the aircraft's weapons, will disable the ability, and, once visible, the Geisterfledermaus must fly to an area completely out of sight of all enemy units in order to return to invisibility. The Geisterfledermaus can maintain this ability continuously for no longer than one hour, at which point it must wait one hour reuse it. While invisible, the craft can still be heard, and it cannot use its ability in direct sunlight/ while a powerful searchlight is aimed directly at it.

General Description:
Name/Model: Z4 Xiongfeng
Crew: 1
Length: 9.30 meters
Height: 3.85 meters
Wingspan: 10 meters
Total width: 10 meters
Type: Interceptor
Powerplant: 1 x Ramjet
Technical Details:
Total weight: 2,800kg
Loaded weight: 3,900kg
Maximum speed: 1,220km/h
Maximum altitude: 13,000 meters
Armament: 4 x 20mm Cannons
History and description: The Z4 was designed as a short ranged interceptor intended for rapid deployment. It's ramjet propulsion was a deliberate design feature intended for rapid takeoff; however, this required the Z4 to be launched from an aircraft catapult, and eventually land using a retractable undercarriage. Autocosmic aircraft design philosophy was based around the emphasis on technology, small size, and training, with the Z4 being one of the most famous aircraft to emerge from his philosophy.

With a maximum range of no more than 300 miles, the Z4 was purely designed for high-speed interception and then return home; however, accomplishing its purpose and mission required sacrifices in the design itself. Most distinctively, the Z4 is a short and stout aircraft with folding wings and horizontal stabilizers, making the aircraft small and compact for storage. To make the aircraft even simpler and cheaper to manufacture, the powerplant was no more than a ramjet, further simplifying mechanical complexity and reducing maintenance. Unfortunately, the Z4 had no self-sealing fuel tanks or armor, and the cockpit was not pressurized, thus requiring that the pilot wear a flight suit and breathing apparatus. Furthermore, there were no ejector seats, with the pilots having no way to save themselves from a fiery death.

General Description:
Name/Model: OU-1 (Tern)
Crew: 2 (Pilot and Co-Pilot)
Length: 12.92 meters
Height: 4.70 meters
Wingspan: 16.47 meters
Total width: 16.47 meters
Type: Light Bomber
Powerplant: 1 x V12 Diesel Engine
Technical Details:
Total weight: 3,110kg
Loaded weight: 10,902kg
Maximum speed: 380km/h
Maximum altitude: 7,000 meters
Armament: One internally stored 450kg bombs (or four 110kg bombs) or one Torpedo
History and description: The OU-1 was designed as a light bomber with extremely high fuel efficiency, thanks to its single diesel engine and largely wooden construction. Able to conduct multiple missions without refueling, the OU-1 was a low cost and low tier bomber among Autocosm's arsenal. Due to its wooden fuselage and propeller, the OU-1 was also intended to be easy to repair, and when combined with the OU-1's lack electronic parts (diesel engine can be started with a hand-crank or spinning the propeller), the OU-1 was an incredibly reliable aircraft beloved by all who used it.

But the OU-1 has it's flaws, however, with its heavy and slow diesel engine being its biggest drawback. This meant that the OU-1 was a slow aircraft, retaining a slow climb and a dive; however, it had a very low stall speed that allowed the OU-1 to fly at speeds as slow as 148km/h without falling out of the sky. While the OU-1 had no weapons to defend itself, it had a maximum range of 9,502km, or at the lowest speed without stalling, that range is extended to 10,045km. To allow the pilots to endure such long ranges, the OU-1 has a very long cockpit, with one pilot up front to fly the plane, while the other sat in the back acting as a navigator or resting; however, a common complaint regarded by pilots was the noise and vibration from the diesel engines (unless the aircraft was flying at low speeds).

Name: MNC Elijah
Type: Battleship
Class: Crusader-Class
Role: Fleet Hunter
Nation of origin: TCaDS
Year commissioned: 1900
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:

Gender: Male

Character: Unnervingly stoic and determined, Elijah does not talk often, usually letting body language say what needs to be said, or speaking bluntly when he has to. When Elijah gets put on a task, the question is not if he will do it, but when, as he operates with an almost supernatural efficiency and will not let anything stop him from completing a task, barring orders from superiors. Smaller ships around him have reason to fear him, as harassing him will almost certainly result in said ship becoming airborne. Having been through many conflicts against the Abyssals, Elijah is wracked with PTSD. Despite this, Elijah shows to have a clear code of honor, and should his name be tarnished, will do everything in his power to restore it, which is usually by sending the offending party straight to the baths.

Special abilities: Unyielding Determination: Elijah is extremely driven, and can go for quite some time without food or sleep and can handle mild wounds like they are scrapes.
Piercing Glare: That thousand yard stare he has is not just for show, as his gaze can see through the cover of night and adverse weather conditions while simultaneously striking immense fear into anyone caught under his gaze, extremely effective for intimidating any would-be harasser.

Personnel file - Operational Sector Eastern Sea - West

Name: AVN Prospekt

Type: Battleship

Class: Borealis

Role: Shore Bombardment

Nation of origin: Arstotzka

Year commissioned: 1942

Description: Tall, thick brown hair, green eyes

Gender: Male

Character: Prospekt has always been known by his friends as one who is committed to the task at hand, no matter what is may be, and yet, he usually tends to also come off as somewhat lax and carefree. There aren’t many things he cares about, but what he cares about most is doing everything he can to help out his friends in any way possible.

Special abilities: Some say Prospekt could double as a field medic, as he is exceptionally skilled in treating battle injuries. This originates in Prospekt’s role in the Battle of the South Severny Coast, after which, Prospekt was used to save other critically-damaged ships

Technical Description of the vessel: Commissioned in 1942, Prospekt served in the First Severny War, and is outfitted with a specialized hull that is uniquely outfitted for breaking the thickest of ice. Prospekt is significantly larger than the average ship. Construction of the first four ships was plagued with difficulties as the naval shipbuilding and related industries were not prepared to build such large ships. Simply put, there aren’t many ships like Prospekt. One of his most notable moments in service was the bombardment of the Southern Severny Coastline and his service as a hospital ship after the fierce battle.

History and description (A few sentences or so describing it's history and how it performs directly.)
In 1948, a contest was held to design a new jet fighter, specifically permitting unconventional designs due to the success of the Fleigendewaffel and the Spatz. This was one of the results, designed based on an old interwar fighter, up-gunned and with its propeller swapped out for a jet engine. Christened the ᚷ-Flügel (G-Wing, as its wings bore a resemblance to a sideways G in Kermanic Runic), for the shape of its wings, this canard design ended up running into multiple problems during development, owing to the fact that the designer had forgotten to include vertical stabilisers in his design, leading to the first production run starting in mid-1950. Once the bugs were worked out of the design, however, the fighter proved to be a serviceable, if somewhat slow, heavy fighter feared for its ability to put withering torrents of lead downrange. Its main weakness, however, was its somewhat low service ceiling, which allowed other fighters to easily get above it. This lead to the addition of a rear turret consisting of quad-mount 20mm guns in later models.

History and description (A few sentences or so describing it's history and how it performs directly.)
The largest flying boat in Jebslund during WWII, the Nordlundgans served as both a sea-based medium bomber and a sea-based gunship, providing fire support for coastal invasions and ground battles once initial fighter, artillery, and/or battleship strikes had cleared most of the AA. Its hull absolutely bristled with guns, to include (on later models) a dual-mount 75mm gun turret in place of the nose turret for anti-tank duty. Originally assigned the name Pelikan, a petition for renaming was accepted when crews began referring to it as the Nordlundgans (Northlund Goose) due to its firepower and the unrelenting streams of bullets it could muster (in fact, the aircraft typically carried copious boxes of spare ammunition when it wasn't carrying bombs or torpedoes), likening it to the famously ferocious waterfowl native to what had been, centuries ago, the Kingdom of Nordlund. It was unusual to see a Nordlundgans flying boat without the waterfowl in some form as its noseart, and individual flying boats were often given names such as "Nikolaus Nordlundgans", "Dunkelflügelige Nordlundgans", or "Daffy die Verrückte Nordlundgans", names which were usually written under the noseart.

Steady and dependable, the Banshee, named for the noise of its engines, was first flown in 1941, based on data from jet projects dating back to the late 20's. It proved a reliable aircraft, earning the nickname "Zuverlässige Zelda" (Dependable Zelda), and was a favorite among pilots. Mechanics, on the other hand, referred to the aircraft as "Die Arschschmerzen" (The Asspain), as the maintenance required to keep it famously reliable was infamously rigorous even for the era, with almost no margin for error. The Banshee tended to serve as fighter escort, as its takeoff run was... unfavorable... for defensive roles.

History and description (A few sentences or so describing it's history and how it performs directly.)
The Nevermore Aviation (later to be known as Nevermore Avionics) JLB-01 Gewitter (Thunderstorm) was the first jet bomber to be built in Jebslund, the first prototypes taking to the air in 1944, and production beginning in 1945. Able to carry up to 5,000kg of bombs (though typically loaded with only 3,000, with the sole exception of short-range variants which traded range and speed for firepower), and with 5 ball turrets to defend itself, the Gewitter was mostly used for bombing military installations and industrial targets, though it wasn't unheard of for the bombers to be used against enemy ships, particularly, with heavy escort, enemy carriers. Later models of the Gewitter traded fuel for bombs, and a couple variants were converted to gunships and carried no bombs, trading bombs for additional 20mm turrets and a pair of 40mm fixed guns in the nose, replacing the nose turret, as well as space for additional ammunition.

History and description (A few sentences or so describing it's history and how it performs directly.)
The PHF-12sf Möwe (Seagull) was a floatplane that first went into production in 1943 as an escort fighter for ships at sea. It was known to its pilots as a generally reliable, if occasionally unforgiving, fighter, and the relatively low maintenance of its turboprop engines, combined with its comparatively low top speed, made it a natural choice for escorting the PMB-06hb Nordlundgans bombers, typically in formations which linked up with carrier-based fighter groups. The Möwe featured a rear gunner position behind the pilot, as well as a total of six forward-facing guns, allowing the fighter to engage targets both in front of and behind it as partial compensation for its slowness compared to other fighters. Later models of the Möwe would feature a twin-gun rear turret, as well as two additional fixed 20s. In 1948, two variants of the Möwe featuring jet engines were produced: One hybrid, and one jet. Neither offshoot was found to be particularly good, and the jet variants were cancelled.

Name: Serica
Type: Light Cruiser
Class: Sicilia Class Light Cruiser
Role: Escort ship, anti-sub/anti-air vessel
Nation of origin: The New Kingdom of Esperia
Year commissioned: 1944
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:

Gender: Female
Character: A young and somewhat free spirit, Serica is one of the last Sicilia class light cruisers to be commissioned, the war having ended by the time she was finished. Despite remaining unproven in battle, her crew and officers are veterans of the 2nd Great War, giving rise to her more controlled and cold exterior in order to maintain the grace and elegance of the 'Esperian Lady."
Special abilities:
Esperian Grade Optics: Built in with nothing but the best Esperian optics and fire control, Serica can make long ranged shots that push her cannons to the limits with deadly precision. These long ranged shots for other vessels may be single time fire, but Serica can put out a constant stream of fire. Her optics allow her to see better in the dark to a certain degree.

Technical Description of the vessel:
A late-war design that saw little combat in the Second Great War, the Sicilia Class light cruisers represented a new stage in Esperian ship design. Prior designs had relied on grace and elegance to show the might of the Esperian Empire, with aesthetic trumping practicality. This was more obvious in their larger designs. Under the newly established Esperian Republic Navy, the Sicilia class light cruisers were ordered. These new light cruisers placed practicality over aesthetics, and were designed to be all purpose vessels.

When they were first commissioned, they weighed in at a total of 12,000 tons. Measuring in at 200 meters, these were nearing heavy cruisers if not for their armament. They were armed with old 135 mm cannons in 2 triple mounts, one on the stern and bow. In order to boost her AA and surface armament, 90 mm dual purpose cannons were installed in 4 dual mounts with 2 located at each side of the ship. Additional 13.2 mm AA guns supplemented their AA defense. They were also armed with 2 triple 533 mm torpedo launchers with enough storage for 4 salvos. Similar to all Esperian vessels, they were equipped with top tier sighting optics and fire control systems, although these were further enhanced with Union radar systems.

In 1945, following the collapse of the Germanic Reich and the 2nd Esperian Empire, these vessels made up the main backbone of the new navy once Alliance forces vacated the White Sea region. They underwent a major retrofit, upgrading their cannons to 152 mm and further improving their AA defense by installing new 20 mm cannons. To further expand on their capabilities they had depth charge projectors installed along with sonars. These vessels were considered to be the best in the Esperian arsenal for their size, combining moderate armor with a modest armament and excellent fire control.

Notes: As the last of the Sicilia class, Serica never saw any major war action unlike her sisters who had sometimes come under air raids. However, she did serve as an experimental basis for future designs, being modernized into a missile cruiser in the late 1970s. She was decommissioned and scrapped in 1990.

Name: Kirill Lazarov
Type: Destoryer
Class: Prj. 144 Patrol Destoryer
Role: Anti-Submarine Warfare/Escort
Nation of origin: Sokovia
Year commissioned: 1952
Image or description of the ship girl/boy:

Gender: M
Character: Kirill is sweet and outgoing, doing his best to put on a cheery disposition despite suffering from foot in mouth syndrome. He is also a closet perv and a slacker, preferring to avoid work in order to sneak off and spy on others. He can also be insufferably nosey when it comes to gossip and rumors, a habit he picked up from multiple trips to market with his grandmother, and tends to pry more than he should when he catches wind of a juicy bit of information. In combat, he is very determined and tends to bite off more than he can chew due to an overzealous hatred of submarines. However, he is deathly afraid of mines due to how the original Kirill Lazarov sunk.
Special abilities:

Hunter: Kirill was the ability to switch on his active sonar, giving him a large detection range of submarines and torpedoes. This also gives his 52-50 AHTs a greater degree of accuracy when engaging Abyssal Submarines.
Smoke up: By dumping oil into his boilers, Kirill is able to create a short duration smokescreen allowing for his escape from any situation he deems too dangerous or lay cover for the rest of the fleet.

Technical Description of the vessel:
Modeled after European Sub Hunters, the Project 144 Patrol Destroyer was a short-lived, but effective addition to the Sokovian People's Navy. Designed to hunt NATO subs, the Project 144 boasted powerful active and passive sonar suites as well as six, fast acoustic homing torpedoes bought from the Soviet Union in the late 1940s. However, she did not have powerful AAA systems and was armed with just enough to chase off small enemy squadrons. She also suffered from multiple defects, mainly dealing with the early model BM-52 cannons. They were prone to electrical failures due to faulty drive systems, and without a manual system to raise or lower the gun, the weapon would be inoperable until the ship returned to port. The BM-52K solved this problem by changing the motor used in the turret and by installing manual elevation and traverse systems, though this made the guns sluggish and difficult to operate when firing manual. The Project 144 was also armed with a single quintuple mount of 533 mm torpedoes as a means of chasing off larger ships who might view the Project 144 as an easy prey, as well as several dozen depth charges for submarine hunting.

Technical Data
Displacement: 3700 tonnes
Length (overall): 152 meters
Width: 20 meters
Draught: 4.7 meters

1x5 533 mm 51-49 Torpedoes
1x6 352 mm 52-50 Acoustic Homing Torpedoes
45 Depth Charges
Armour:
15 mm Bow, 10 mm side and rear, 120 mm Turret
Notes: The SPN Kirill Lazarov was sunk off the shore of Solkovia in 1954, killing all hands when it struck a supposedly friendly mine that broke away from its anchor. The mine struck the bow magazine at 23:58 hrs, causing an explosion that gutted the ship, and due to the nature of the explosion, rescue ships refused to go out through fear of getting caught on another mine. After minesweepers cleared the surrounding area of all mines, it was discovered that while the Solkovian mines were in need of maintenance and several had broken from their tethers, there were also Turkish naval mines interspersed along with them, leading to speculation that what sunk the Kirill Lazarov was a Turkish mine laid by a submarine or destroyer.

"Grandma, why was Mrs. Zobayev not at her cart this morning? I was hoping to buy one of her rolls as a snack." Kirill asked, looking up at his grandmother Anya Lazarov, as she lead him through the weekly farmer's market. All around, vendors and customers haggled and hawked, screaming prices into the crowd before arguing with customers over the freshness or taste of their goods. It was Saturday, and even though Kirill would have preferred his bed to a morning of shopping, he enjoyed listening to his granny Anya's gossip. "Little Kirill, I haven't the foggiest idea. It isn't like her to miss market day, not with Mr. Zobayev away from business." His grandmother replied, browsing Sergei Olienkov's produce stand. "Bah, Sergei... what do you mean a bushel of carrots cost 1.50 rubles a kilo? Last week they were only 1.25!" Kirill looked up at the owner, noticing the telltale twinge of an eyebrow as the man huffed. "Mama Lazarov, you said the same thing last week as well. My prices have not changed, you're just getting older." Granny Anya looked up at him and chuckled. "Maybe Sergei Illyovovich, but my memory is still as good as ever, and I distinctly remember these carrots were 1.25 rubles per kilo, last week." Kirill watched his grandmother with a mixture of amazement and embarrassment as she haggled with the produce vendor, tugging at her sleeve as his five-year-old patience began to run out.

"Kirill, behave yourself." Granny Anya snapped, glancing down at her grandson before going back to haggling with the Sergei. Kirill looked around, watching the other women in his village, gossiping, and haggling, each one trying to outdo anyone in earshot. However, Kirill knew no one could hold a candle to his grandmother, to him, she was the best in the village, if not the world.

Kirill smiled as the memory faded and reality set back in. He grew considerably in the years following, and his grandmother lived for another five before she passed. It was a long journey to the base, and though he had the speed to make it, he needed to make sure the battlecruiser behind him made it safe and sound. "Sergei, get the lead out, at this rate, we won't get there until after sundown, and I'd rather not report in when everyone is having supper." He said, looking over his shoulder at the dour and stale face of his comrade-in-arms, the battlecruiser Sergei Malinokov.

[Tourou]

Personnel file - Operational Sector Eastern Sea - West

(Name): TFN - Ninau (カイグンわトロウコクナゆ - ニナウ) - (“Kaigunwa Toroukokunayu - Ninau”)
(Type): Light Cruiser
(Class): Kumoku Class Light Cruiser
(Role): Destroyer Flotilla Leader / Escort / Coastal Patrol
(Nation of origin): Tourou
(Year commissioned): 6102ン (1936 AD for humans)
(Image or description of the ship girl/boy): Ninau is a 5’9ft tall girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Upon first glance, she may appear like a Prinz Eugen doppelgänger, but Ninau is slightly taller and has a chest size about a cup bigger than Eugen. In addition, Ninau is considered to be a young adult female, distinguished by her slightly lower pitch and her gentle, mature voice. Her outfit is almost identical to Prinz Eugen, although Ninau's outfit lacks the forearm badges and insignias as seen on Eugen. Furthermore, Ninau's footwear is different, specifically being black knee-high boots with lace-ups on the front and inside zipper closures. Interestingly, Ninau doesn't wear any legwear/socks underneath, suggesting that she is otherwise barefoot without footwear.
(Gender): Female
(Character): Ninau has a surprisingly strong inclination to routine and rigidity. In every aspect of her life, everything is regimented and spartan, notably expressing happiness when everything is kept orderly and clean. In combat, she assumes a 'drill-sergeant' mentality, commanding and leading her subordinates in an '18th century' manner - simple and repetitive orders are the name of the game. Although not exactly the authoritarian or disciplinary type, she cannot tolerate indecisiveness and drama; however, she will never raise her voice no matter the circumstances, even if there is something that greatly displeases or angers her. Interestingly, her learning and teaching style is based on memorization and repetition, hence making her a rather poor abstract/analytical thinker.
(Special abilities): A key trait of Touroun ships is their thin steel hulls and high freeboard. She is 30 percent lighter than other ships her size, thus able to travel at much greater speeds and can traverse shallow waters without running aground. On the other hand, her lightweight hull makes her far less durable than ships her size, hence for taking damage more easily. Being made of sheet steel and held together with rivets-welds, Ninau can be repaired with thin sheet steel, and can be fixed using rivets made of any kind of iron, steel, or scrap metal. But for every time she takes damage, there is a chance that spalling/shooting rivets can wound friend and/or foe alike.
(Technical Description of the vessel): Four centuries before Tourou existed as a galactic power, there was the Toronese Federation against the warring states of Seidou. In the days of the pre atomic age, the TF found itself in a worldwide clash to establish peace and stability, either diverting resources to help other nations or to simply defend itself. On land, the TF can always rely on countless freemen to fight against the forces of evil; however, out at sea, it was an utter struggle.

Desperate to secure the seas, the TF undergone a major naval reformation, founding a completely new naval branch designed to unite the federation as a homogenous naval force. One of the new ship designs to enter into service with the newfound TFN was the Kumoku Class Light Cruiser. In the TFN’s infancy, the Kumoku Class was one of the five original standardized ship classes that comprised of the TFN’s numbers; however, the Kumoku Class was an extraordinary statistical-industrial achievement - the Kumoku Class is one of the most numerically produced ships in history (more than 62 Komoku Class ships have been built until production was finally terminated).

The TFN Ninau’s story begins in a Yabe shipyard, where she was built, launched, and commissioned in seven months. She is the second ship of her class, assigned her first mission as a destroyer flotilla leader in the Corelean and Romagnan Civil Wars, playing a peacekeeping role in the former, and playing a later major role in the latter war. In Romagna, she would survive an unsuccessful hijacking, and a subsequent beaching, where she was eventually towed back home, repaired, and reentered into service.

Sadly, after five years of service, she made a accidental nighttime ram into the Romagnan carrier, Borodino, rupturing the carrier’s fuel tanks and getting caught in the subsequent explosion. All of Ninau’s 500 man crew are killed in the collision and explosion, although their efforts were not in vein, with Borodino and its 1,900 crew (plus aircraft and pilots) perishing at the same time. Most importantly, Ninau and Borodino’s destruction played a pivotal role in the Battle of Chiamita, demoralizing and destroying the last Romagnan Carrier Fleet; this was the very last time the Romagnan Navy ever waged a major offensive and sailed in comparable forces.

Ninau’s name, however, would continue to live onward onto other ships. A decade later, a federal nuclear submarine would bear the historical namesake (eventually decommissioned thirty years later). About a five decades later, a destroyer would be called the same name; however, the ship would be lost a few years later in an accidental ammunition detonation. Lastly, and most historically, about a century later, the first warp-capable Touroun ship would bear the name as the famous ‘DW-01 Ninau’.

Technical Data
Displacement: 6,000 tons
Length (overall): ~ 656ft (200 meters)
Width: ~65ft (20 meters)
Draught: ~16.4 (5 meters)
Propulsion:
• 3 x diesel engines
• 3 x shafts
Speed: 35 knots
Complement: 500
Armament:
• 3 x 22.86cm (9.0in) guns (one in each turret)
• 40 x 50mm (1.9in) QF guns (four per turret)
• 6 x 610mm (24in) torpedo tubes (3x2)
Armour: N/A (Thin Steel and Rivet-Weld Construction)
Notes: As mentioned in her special abilities, Ninau's lightweight construction is held together by rivets and welds. But the rivets that hold Ninau together are made from cheap and not particularly durable materials, hence for the Komoku Class' questionable durability. To compensate her paper-thin construction, she has five rudders, granting her a tight turn rate even greater than destroyers.

OOC-section:
(RP-sample):

Seidou is a trapped little world. On its surface lies a garden. Outside the coastlines, endless water; the blessed seas. Inside the coastlines, endless earth; the blessed lands. High up above, endless night; the blessed skies.

Dotting its landscape were cities. Slithering through the hills and mountains were roads and railroads. Combined, an unbroken concrete and aluminum landscape. Lights shined through the darkness, illuminating the skyline. This is the night life.

Ninau had just ended her day, already dressed in her pajama shirt and pants, and in the shelter of her bed sheets. It was raining moderately outside, something that didn't bother Ninau at all. In fact, she embraced the rain. Love and life has always came from water.

On her nightstand was only a lamp and alarm clock. But besides them, there was a white envelope with a government-issued stamp on it. To the layman, it would've passed off as an ordinary letter. But this letter was anything but ordinary tonight.

The contents have long been read, but everything had been neatly returned to their place long ago. The envelope delivered a letter, typed by the government, and read by Ninau. This was a new order from the G-Men themselves. Its orders were simple.

She was going to be sent to the frontlines within a month...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think aluminium would work on a ship of any substantial size, it's not a particularly sturdy material, and the pressures enacted on ships in the water are immense. I feel like a big wave would punch a big enough hole in her to sink her twice over.

Also a question? Is it riveted or riveted + welding?
