The Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile is the supplement to the larger Type 40 Anti-Ship Missile, a smaller and cheaper missile for shorter ranges and smaller targets, designed to sink vessels of up to 5,000 tons or to cripple them beyond recognition with one missile hit. The Type 43 also smarts when hitting larger vessels with it.
While Mark I is a pure-blooded anti-ship missile, Mark II can also act as a small, short-range land attack missile, with Mark III being the aircraft launched variation of Mark I.

Design
The Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile is a subsonic missile featuring a cruciform wing configuration and fins in flight, with the air duct intake for the Turbofan engine semi-submerged in the missile's body. The missile with a weight of 565 kilograms and a speed of Mach 0.9, or 1,102.57 kilometres per hour, carries a warhead of 150 kilograms, in the standard version a HE shaped fragmentation charge, but that can be changed quite easily, for example to around 100 kilograms of bright yellow paint and electronics detecting mistakes in the handling of the missiles, as used by the Mark T missile.
The Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile can be quad-packed into the Feadán Fe-12 VLS-modules, as well as other VLS-shafts for hot launch of similar size then the Fe-12, but the deployment from box launchers, the torpedo tubes of submarines and land-based launchers are also possible (in fact, SDY is currently developing a launch vehicle complex for the Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile together with Gabha Blacksmiths Limited).
Employable in sea states up to sea state 6 and at any time of the day, the Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile can also be deployed under enemy fire and under enemy countermeasures (details below), while avoiding detection both due sea-skimming, meaning the flight very low above the waters surface, and the usage of radar-absorbent materials in its construction, as well as a propellant, that generates less smoke then other propellants.

In Flight - Mark I
The Type 43 Mark I Anti-Ship Missile's flight knows three stages: Launch, Cruise and Terminal.
Prior to launch, the Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile sits in its launcher, wings folded to save space, inert and waiting to be fed target designation data. This data can be fed from the launching vessel or aircraft or can come from a different source, for example a satellite, as well. This data is basically a general position of the enemy vessels, plus data about the radar profiles of the vessels in question.
Upon launch, the missile unfolds its fins and rises to an altitude somewhere between 10 and 15 metres above the surface, guided by the target data and an inertial guidance system towards the target area. This is the cruise phase.
Once the target area has been reached, the onboard radar begins its work, terminal stage has been reached. With the help of a radio altimeter and the radar itself, the missile descends onto a height of around three to four metres above the surface, locking onto the target using its active radar and the signature fed to the missile prior to launch – this is the stage, where it is most likely, that the Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile is detected by the targeted vessel or its escorts and countermeasures are the most likely to start. In the case of noise jamming, flooding the waves with nonsensical radar information and trying to confuse the missile, the Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile is equipped with an ingenious system turning the active radar to passive mode, which then lets the radar guide the missile to the source of the noise for a big, fiery hug.
Mark IV is equipped with an Infrared Homing Device for terminal guidance, locking onto the highest source of thermal energy in the area – for example enemy vessels. This quite easily circumvents the need for proofing the missile against electronic countermeasures or decoys, simply by not using a radar for guidance in the terminal stage.

History
Upon release and the beginning of production of the Type 40 Anti-Ship Missile in the early 2000s, the SDF-Navy became aware of one simple fact, that salted the soup of the missile, that was better then anything they had even remotely hoped for: It was bloody expensive.
Due to that, the SDF-Navy tasked the Creachadóir Design Bureau, by then already in talks with SDY to become part of SDY, with the development of a smaller anti-ship missile designed to attack smaller vessels with impunity and causing substantial damages to larger vessels.
The result, which was first tested a few days after the fateful Battle of Marley Bay in 2012, was the Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile. Final testing commenced a few weeks later, the first missiles being delivered to the SDF-Navy in late 2014.
From then onwards, the Type 43 Anti-Ship Missile was an integral part of the armament of SDF-Navy Vessels employed in the waters around the Mainland, the Northern Islands and the Oileánra-Archipelago – the first vessel to be sent out into international waters with an armament of Type 43 Anti-Ship Missiles, both Mark I and Mark II, was the Guided Missile Frigate SDFS Abhcan in the early summer of 2017, not firing a shot at any enemy.
In Autumn 2017, the Mark III version was officially introduced into the SDF-Navy with training operations beginning in October, with Mark IV following two months later.

The Pattern 913 Swimming Crane is the first of the Harbour Helpers Line of Silverport Dockyards Limited.

Design
As the name suggests, it is a swimming crane, capable of lifting up to 150 tons on the heavier of both arms. Capable of going to the thing they need to lift instead of the other way around, these relatively wide ships have a lot of applications in everyday operations of a harbour, especially in naval arsenals (not many things can reload VLS-cells as fast as a swimming crane) and in freighter ports, where larger, stationary cranes are scarce or need support by an additional workforce, for example to speed things up. Also, naval construction works, like dykes, would profit from having a swimming crane for the ease of heavier works.
For easier navigation in even the tightest fits, the Pattern 913 Swimming Crane is equipped with three propellers, one in the front, two aft, which are, as the crane, powered by the three onboard diesel generators with a total power of 2,500 kW. The cranes can lift, in case of the smaller one, 15 tons of equipment, in case of the larger one 150 tons 42 metres into the air over a distance of 17 metres with pinpoint accuracy.

A small crew of nine people, plus three additional people as guests, can be housed on board the Pattern 913 Swimming Crane, with enough provisions for ten days of operation.

Delivery
Although the Pattern 913 is capable of taking on icy waters, it is a littoral craft, best used near the own shorelines.
To effectively deliver and set up such craft even in the most distant harbours, the Pattern 913 Swimming Crane is build in modular parts, loaded onto a freighter and shipped to the customer with a small group of technicians onboard ready to set everything up for the customer.
Since the handling of the Pattern 913's Swimming Crane isn't much different from the handling of a land-crane, additional technical instructions won't be necessary. We however recommend the operators to consult the manual before beginning work, just to be on the safe side.

History
Since the dawn of merchant shipping, there was always one question: "How do I get my stuff in big loads as fast as possible off my boat?" As warships grew in weight and their armament with them, this question became a matter of literal life and death.
Large, stationary cranes and similar infrastructure can only do so much in little time, so, in order to speed up things, several harbour authorities of the Free Lands and the SDF-Navy (more interested in a cheap, reliable and fast way to reload VLS-cells without much infrastructure) asked leading shipbuilders of the Free Lands about the possible construction of a swimming crane.
Silverport Dockyards was happy to oblige and developed the Pattern 913 Swimming Crane, which was introduced into service in 2011. It is, by no means, a high-tech sophisticated and expensive swimming crane, it simply does, what it is supposed to be doing: Lifting things up and putting them down again.

The Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is a small, unmanned and armed vessel built by Silverport Dockyards Limited, intended for patrol and combat. Being, by nature of an unmanned vessel, cheaper in upkeep and maintenance then a manned surface vessel, of similar size, the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is the ideal solution for countries with limited budgets and manpower, which have to cover and patrol a lot of sea, or who simply want to leave the tedious jobs of a Navy to the capable, yet cheap solution.

The term stalcaire means stalker, a huntsman engaging in a technique of hunting without hounds, horses or similar loud attachments. Vessels of this class are built by SDY's subsidiary Bád Industries Limited of Cuan and were developed together with the SDF-Navy and Gabha Blacksmiths Limited.

Design
The Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is a trimaran with two outriggers, or Ama, connected to the main hull, the Vaka, by the ways of a crossarm, or Aka. This hull form provides greater speed and stability, as well as less draught, allowing the vessel to operate in littorals very close to shore.
Built with a reduced radar-signature in mind, the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is harder to detect, but not impossible to detect. The small vessel appears on radars around the size of a small fishing boat.
The vessel of non-magnetic steel is 35.2 metres in length, has a total beam of 6.2 metres and a maximum draught of 1.1 metres at a displacement of 165 tons standard displacement. Due to requiring no crew present, the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel can use all the space needed for the upkeep of sailors to store fuel, electronic systems and other things necessary for operation, including a small freight compartment for 150 kilograms of freight. The vessel is hardened against EM-Pulses.
Powered by four diesel generators, producing a total of 16,000 kW, being the same generators as used on the Spéirling-class Fast Attack Craft. The propulsion arrangement is called Integrated Electric Propulsion, IEP for short, where the Diesel Generators produce electrical power, thus saving space, maintenance costs and providing a simple, cheap and reliable way of power generation, which power everything aboard the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel, from the propulsion systems to the radars.
The vessel is driven by two pump-jets with thrust vectoring, which also allow for reversing via a reversing bucket, decreasing the acoustic signature as well as increasing the manoeuvrability (somewhat balancing the inherited disadvantages of a trimaran-hull) and the operational space in littoral waters.
The Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel can reach a maximum speed of 45 knots, or 83.3 knots, as well as a range of 10,000 nautical miles, or 18,520 kilometres, at a cruise speed of 12 knots, or 22.2 knots. Replenishment at Sea is possible.
Maintenance is completed either in a drydock, by dragging the vessel ashore, in a well deck or even in a freighter's cargo bay, provided the vessel can be lifted into the freighter. Maintenance entrances and narrow hallways, as well as a modular architecture with triple-redundant data-busses, allow for easy and cheap maintenance. However, before accessing the vessel, it is recommended to provide the corresponding passwords as otherwise, the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel's computer systems believe the vessel to be captured and will detonate all ammunition remaining onboard and a number of plastic explosive charges intended to completely destroy the vessel and its capturers.

Command and Control
The Command and Control Systems of the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel know four modes, Direct Control, Observation Modes A and B, as well as autonomous.
Direct Control means a human operator using a control station – the one used for the Foiche Mark I UCAV (the Cráinfhoiche Control Station) can be used, but we recommend the more specialized Macánta Control Station, which is included in the delivery – to control every aspect of one Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vehicle. The Macánta Control Station can either be used in a direct line-of-sight capability or use satellite communications to send commands and receive data with a delay of up to 1.1 seconds. Said commands and data are, to prevent disruption of communications or even hacking by other sources, transmitted via an ECM-resistant, frequency-hopping device with additional encryption. With the necessary codes provided, the control of a Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel can be handed to and from operator to operator, as well as taken over after the vessel has autonomously reached its destination area. Controllers using this mode came to call it the 'Boat Simulator Mode' or BSM.
Observation Mode A is defined as a human always (or nearly always) receiving data of the vessel, observing the surroundings freely via the vessels sensors. Observation Mode B is the extension of that, the human operator being in control of all the important bits, for example weapons usage, destination, course and so on. While Observation Mode A can be engaged basically from a home computer (provided the corresponding software and infrastructure is available), Observation Mode B needs a Macánta Control Station. Both Observation Modes can not only be utilized to control or observe a singular vessels, but also a flotilla. Controllers using Observation Mode A use to call this mode the Screensaver Mode, while Observation Mode B is called the RTS-Mode.
The Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel can also operate autonomously, including weapons usage, along pre-defined Rules of Engagement. The Builder for these Rules of Engagement is simple to handle and easy to understand, including settings about IFF-Systems. It is entirely possible for the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel to move to a target area, patrol there, and, as soon as something has been found, switch to one of the Observation Modes or Direct Control Mode if programmed to do so.

Should the vessel loose contact to the control station without that being planned, it will turn on the autonomous operating system and set course for the nearest, pre-defined friendly harbour. Should the vessel be captured, it will destroy itself as described above.
After a test, an officer of the SDF-Navy remarked, that operating the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel or even a group of these vessels looked and felt a lot like playing a video game and was equally simple (hence the different operation modes' nicknames).

Sensors
The Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is equipped with a number of sensors for operations, including a simple and cheap, but also reliable Nuacht N-12 Air/Surface Search Radar, a Multi-Function Radar capable of acting as an air search radar, surface search radar, navigation radar and even fire-control radar, all while operating on different bands.
A hull-mounted sonar completes the sensor suit. This sonar can be used for mine-hunting, submarine-hunting and for pretending to be someone else as this sonar can also send out noise which make the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel look like another vessel on sonar, for example like an aircraft carrier or a harmless freighter.

Electronic Warfare and Decoys
In addition to the EP-suit for securing communications with the Control Station described Above, the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is equipped with an ECM-suit, capable of jamming enemy communications and radar.
Adding to that is a SIGINT-Suit, a suit of systems capable of catching, analysing and matching electromagnetic emissions of all sorts of sources, thus identifying enemies in conjunction with the appropriate databases. However, the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is not capable of deciphering enemy transmissions, only analysing who is talking to whom in which quantity. Radio messages intercepted are usually recorded and stored for the return to harbour, where they can be deciphered.

The Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is also equipped with simple launchers for chaff and flares, which are used to confuse enemy sensors.

Armament
The Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is equipped with a number of weapon systems to accomplish its mission, amongst them six box launchers for anti-ship missiles, a rail for mines and depth charges (up to twenty mines can be carried), two 30mm CIWS and three Remote Weapons Stations.
The Ceantar C-84 30mm CIWS is a close-in weapons systems used for point defence on many military vessels built by SDY. Used on the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is the model Mark III, which is fully autonomous. With its own small radar, it can search for, acquire and combat targets at a range of up to seven kilometres spewing 4,500 rounds in a minute from six barrels with a muzzle velocity of 950 metres per second using caseless ammunition from a 3,000 round 'magazine'.
In addition to that, the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel is equipped with three Remote Weapons Stations, one of them heavy, positioned on the bow, two light ones on balconies on either side of the small superstructure. There are many possibilities for how to equip these remote weapons stations, for example the SDF-Navy plans to equip the ones they ordered with a 40mm multi-purpose gun on the bow and the Machine Gun, Grenade, Model 1990, a 40 millimetre automatic grenade launcher fed by a 100 rounds belt with a maximum range of 2,000 metres, produced by Gabha Blacksmiths Limited on the balconies. All Remote Weapons Stations are delivered empty.

History
It has always been a dream to send unmanned vessels to patrol and take care of the more tedious jobs of a navy or to provide auxiliary functions – or even to fight, without risking life and limb of living soldiers. Especially for countries with limited budgets and manpower, or unwillingness to risk life and limb of its soldiers, such systems are very tempting.
Remote control of vessels at sea is nothing new or unusual, a target vessel of the SDF-Navy had been remote-controlled in the 30s and 40s until SDFAS Crach (Ex-LNS Fuoco) was finally sunk in 1948 in one of the first tests of autonomous air-launched Anti-Ship Missiles. However, these systems were expensive, cumbersome and could do little more then a remote-controlled car: Move from Point A to Point B.
With time, however, things became more and more sophisticated, but mostly constrained to small vessels remote-controlled by the universities as proofs of concepts and joy in experimentation. With more and more systems being digitally controlled, however, the options of remote-controlling a vessel, or vehicle in general, became more and more interesting to the military again. Drones were born.
In the 1990s, the SDF-Navy began first experimenting with unmanned surface vessels, as part of the FAC-Testing Force in Silverport, but those experiments were under-funded and treated like a number of orphans, but the FAC-Testing Force, together with SDY, Gabha Blacksmiths Limited and the University of Silverport, made a few important advances, including autonomous operations of a vessel in sea traffic lanes and remote controls of a vehicle (which would also prove important in the development of the Foiche Mark I Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle of Gabha).
In 2003, a Fiagai-class Patrol Vessel was re-purposed as a testbed for hand-on research.
And so it bobbed up and down for years – until the Battle of Marley Bay in 2012. Due to the losses of the SDF-Navy, which are usually described as catastrophic, the Navy sought new methods and technologies to give balance out the losses... and someone remembered the Unmanned Surface Vessel Project.
Equipped with new purpose, not to mention funding, the FAC-Testing Force and SDY went to work to put the first prototypes to sea in 2015 and 2016, testing them until 2017. Based on these test results, the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel and its siblings and cousins were developed.

A number of civilian versions of the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel are planned.

The Eala-class Cruise Ship, or Pattern 396, is a small and handy little cruise ship for smaller cruise lines or routes with many amenities for passengers.
The vessels of the Eala-class will be delivered bare, meaning without furniture for the passenger spaces or any amenities, so that the customer can equip them by him- or herself.

The term eala means swan.

Design
The Eala-class Cruise Ship is a 183.1 metres long and 24.7 metres wide monohull design with a draught of 6.3 metres and a displacement of 18,000 tons. Twelve decks, seven of which are passenger decks, can house 550 passengers and a crew of 315 men.
Power is supplied in a scheme that is called Integrated Electric Propulsion, IEP for short. Three Diesel Generators, with an output of up to 18,000 kW together (each capable of providing 6,000 kW, the same generators as on the Corrán-class Offshore Patrol Vessel), provide all power needed onboard and then some, from every lamp and coffee maker to the engines. This arrangement safes maintenance time, space and ultimately money as it is simple, yet reliable. The generators rest on shock-absorbers in order to reduce the noise made by them and thus enhancing passenger comfort.
With two electrically powered Azimuth-Thrusters, which in turn are headed by controllable pitch propellers, which allow to achieve the same speed with less energy required then compared to fixed-pitch propellers, the Eala-class Cruise Ship can achieve a maximum speed of 21 knots or 38.9 km/h. Maintenance on the Azimuth-Thrusters is relatively cheap as well, the electrical engines being easy to repair and to exchange. A bow thruster allows for easier manoeuvring of the vessel and easier docking.
The Eala-class Cruise Ship can find its way via a small navigation radar, a Nuacht N-4 Navigation Radar, a capable and proven system, as well as GPS and is, for tradition's sake, equipped with the installations and materials to navigate by the stars, if needed (and someone capable of doing so is onboard).

Passenger Amenities
The 550 passengers onboard have access to eight of the twelve decks, the remaining four housing the technical spaces, kitchens, accommodations for the 315 men strong crew and so on. The Eala-class Cruise Ship comes equipped with its own water-purification plant,

Passengers have a total of 404 cabins and suites available for booking, 340 of which are simple cabins with a small bathroom, a bed (42 cabins are equipped with double-beds), a table with chairs and a cupboard. All cabins on Deck 5, meaning all double-bed cabins and 130 of the single-bed cabins, have a small veranda, while the remaining cabins on Deck 7 are inside the hull.
Twenty family suites can house up to four people, ideally families, with forty smaller suites with double-beds are available as well. Both of those can be found on Deck 3 or the Suite Deck.
The final passenger accommodations are four so-called Royal Suites, the highest class and largest suites onboard with their own butler (or maid, depending on personal preferences) and come with two bedrooms, a large bathroom, a living room and a veranda with outdoor dining options.

The Eala-class Cruise Ship is equipped with a variety of amenities for the passengers to make the trip more comfortable.
Including that are two pools, one halfway in the open near the aft of the Bridge Deck, the other, smaller one inside of the Promenade Deck, permitting all-weather swimming experience. Both pools can be heated and are equipped with state of the art water cleaning. The Bridge Deck Pool can be separated into two halves, one inside, the other outside, and has two direct connections to the Sun Deck.
Four Bars and four Restaurants are readily available for the passengers to cater to their needs, two of the bars also having enough space for dance floors and a small stage for musicians. The bars and restaurants can be furnished in accordance to the buyer's wishes. Two of the Restaurants are on the Promenade Deck, another on the Bridge Deck and one on the Sun Deck (aftwards, with an outdoor dining space leading downwards to the pool), while two of the Bars are on the Bridge Deck with one each on the Salon Deck and on the Sun Deck (which also has outdoor spaces available).
The Salon Deck also boasts two small libraries and two gyms. Shared between the Salon Deck and the Bridge Deck is a small theatre with 250 seats, which can be used as a movie theatre or for shows or for other events.
The Eala-class Cruise Ship is connected to the outside world by two satellite uplinks, which access international telecommunications satellites to keep contact and to provide communications with the outside world, including an internet connection. One of these uplinks is reserved for internet connections, the other for radio and television, which is transmitted to the passengers via an Onboard Entertainment Network, OEN for short, which is separate from the board computers of the ship itself. Despite that, it is heavily fortified against malware and viruses. Every cabin and suite has access to the OEN via a LAN-connection, as do the Salons, while WLAN-Transceivers are strewn across the ship for wireless access. A small gaming server is part of the delivery as well.

History
The Eala-class Cruise Ship, or Pattern 396, is one of the many plans taken over by Silverport Dockyards Limited with the integration of the remains of the Caillte Maritime Solutions Engineering Office of Wembury upon the marriage of Nora Cathlong of the Tribe of Cork and Fynn Caillte of the Tribe of Cork in 1988. The latest version of Pattern 396 from that time is dated to the 15th of August 1986.
It was a private venture, as the accompanying documentations says 'because we were bored' (which is basically the motto of SDY's Yard 15), with future possibilities of business with Rón Cruise Lines in mind. After the Yard Crisis of the 70s and the Second Vellenge War in 1983, such vessels were desperately needed by the shipbuilding industry of the Free Lands to survive. With the Ríchathaoir Shipyard Company having closed its gates in 1969, not many of the larger and traditional shipbuilders were remaining, but at the time of the Pattern 396's engineering work, there was already a shipyard company working in Silverport again: Silverport Dockyards Limited.
As the CMSEO went defunct in 1993, the plans were handed over to SDY and slept in an archive for over two decades, until they were unearthed by registrar and handed over to Yard 15 with an entire series of plans.
Pattern 396 was updated and finished by the engineers and is now offered for commercial buyers. Rón Cruise Lines ordered four vessels to modernize their fleet. In 2018, the Cruise Liner Colm attended the NASJAR 1 Competition in Gaineamh, Oileánra-Archipelago as accomodations ship and viewing platform, still on one of her final shakedown cruises.

The Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is a small and capable anti-air corvette, designed to be the counterpart of the Predator-class ASW-Corvette. Where the Predator-class excels in submarine hunting, the Labhandar-class exceeds in air-defense, while the Scoth-class and Winternitz-class Corvettes are designed for multi-purpose needs. Much like the Predator-class, she is developed exclusively for the export market and can act as a convoy and fleet escort, both in home waters and in the deep blue sea.

The term labhandar means lavender, as in the plant out of the family of the lamiaceae.

Design
The Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is a 2,100 tons displacing monohull-design with a length of 99 metres, a beam of 11.3 metres and a draft of 3.7 metres. The construction features measures to reduce both the radar-crossection, thermal signatures and acoustic signature, the most common ways of detecting a vessel at sea, as well as a reduced magnetic signature due to the usage of a demagnetisation belt.
The more stealthy construction is achieved by a variety of simple measures, including inclined flanks, as little in vertical lines as possible, and a very clean line and superstructure with things like the stairs and mooring systems being internal. The superstructure is built using radar-absorbent synthetic materials. On radars, the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette appears around the size of a vessel somewhere around 1,000 tons in displacement.
The Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is also equipped with a system to reduce the thermal signature, channelling the exhaust from the funnels to a small set of pipes, which cool these gases for release.
To reduce the acoustic signature, the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette has her diesel generators rest on shock-absorbers, which not only enhances crew comfort, but also reduces the acoustic signature. In addition to that, the vessel is equipped with an active acoustic camouflage system, which generates small bubbles of air along the keel to confuse sonar.

The Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is powered by three Diesel Generators, each providing 6,000 kW of power, the same generators as on the Corrán-class Offshore Patrol Vessel, for a total of 18,000 kW. These generators power everything aboard the vessel, from the two waterjets and the bow thruster to the radar to the coffee maker.
With a maximum speed of 25 knots, or 46.3 kilometres per hour, and a range of 7,500 nautical miles, or 13,900 kilometres at 14 knots, or 26 kilometres per hour, the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette can effectively provide air cover to slower fleets and to trade convoys, as well as to landing forces.

The Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is crewed by a crew of 67 officers and men, but has space for up to 100 men. This low number of personnel is achieved by many of the subsystems and functions of the vessel working automated, although human oversight can still be activated.
As a whole, all members of the crew and eventual guests are housed in the same way, in a way, that was inspired by capsule hotels. Cheap and small enough to be massed, but comfortable enough to provide comfort and privacy, these modular and relocatable fibreglass blocks are 2.5 metres long, 1.25 metres wide, 1.5 metres high and have a mattress of 2.25 metres times 1.25 metres already provided. A closable cupboard runs along the side for storage of the personal belongings, larger stuff being stored in a locker outside. A folding panel by the entrance provides a working surface, while two lamps provide light.
The cleaning facilities are communal.
To make up for the rather cramped accommodations, there is a communal lounge, a sports room and an extra large freezer for ice cream integrated into the vessel.

Aft of the superstructure, the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette has a helicopter flight deck and a hangar, capable of holding either one medium-sized or two small helicopters, providing them with maintenance, refuelling, rearming and other services. Although fitting tightly, the hangar can fit two SDY-Greadtóir 19 Cuaifeach Shipborne Helicopters, which are usable in a variety of rules.
Additionally, the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is equipped with a drone control room, from which Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, both for combat and not, can be controlled close to the action, no matter their type and actual home airport. The vessel itself can also carry helicopter drones instead of conventional helicopter.
The Helicopter Flight Deck is also rated to handle vectored-thrust VTOLs.

Electronic Warfare and Decoys
The Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is equipped with full suites of Electronic Countermeasures and Electronic Support Measures, which means, that the vessel is capable of confusing enemy radars and targeting systems, including on enemy missiles, while also while also being capable of seeing through these countermeasure when they are employed by the enemy.
Should the enemy still slip a missile through, the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is equipped with a Multi-Ammunition Softkill System, a system using the data collected by passive and active sensors to send out decoys against advanced missiles operating on all relevant wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. This system can either be operated by a person or by computer systems, but in either case, the Type 900 Datalink supplies the data needed.
For defence against less-advanced sensor-guided missiles, the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette carries launchers for flare and chaff, while defence against torpedoes is arranged by a passive torpedo decoy launcher and a towed decoy system.

The Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is equipped with a variety of radars for fulfilling its mission, core of the radar suit being a N-41 Mark III 3D Long-Range Air Search Radar. This 3D Radar, capabale of tracking 150 at once, is a passive electronically scanned array radar, which, besides its primary function as an air-defence and surveillance radar, can also be used as a weather radar, but is not built for such a function and should be used in such a capacity only in emergencies. Due to its construction, the radar can track these 150 targets while at the same time still scanning the sky, providing information about elevation, range and azimuth of the targets.
Additionally, the vessel is equipped with two Nuacht N-12 Mark III Air/Surface Search Radars, capable and proven multi-function radars, operating on X-Band to search for, detect and track up to 350 targets at a range of up to 400 kilometres and a height of up to 9.5 kilometres, also looking up their IFF-Identification, both on the surface and in the air (the air search mode does not provide information about elevation and azimuth). These radars can also double as air-traffic control radars, navigation radars and fire-control radars, but their main-draw is not their range or target-tracking abilities, but their multifunctionality, which lowers the price of the vessel.
In addition to that, the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is equipped with Radar Warning Receivers, which tell the vessel, when it is locked on by enemy radars, be it of vessels, missiles and other such systems, also being able to identify the threat.

Artio Battlescape Network Mark III-C
Another important system for effective operation of the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is the Artio Battlescape Network Mark III-C. Via directed data-transmission, each ship can share data by direct line of sight, around 40 kilometres.
Although this system can be disrupted, albeit with a whole lot of difficulty, no one can listen in. The direct line of sight also requires, that no obstacles are between the transmission stations, which are kept in line by the Type 900. However, this range can be made next to unlimited by hooking up the whole system to a satellite, which can share the data needed without any problems.
Although normal telecommunication satellites can be used for this purpose, Silverport Dockyards Ltd. has made an invitation for bid to a few companies specialized in such things, hoping to be capable of offering a complete system with a specialized satellite by 2018. The Artio can be connected to major Battlescape Network Systems, but we highly recommend reading the manual.

Type 900 Datalink
The Type 900 Datalink is a system for Duplex Communication in both directions in real time, processing said data in real time as well. Not only sensors and weapons are connected by this system, but virtually everything onboard the ship, from consoles on the bridge to the mobile coffee maker by the helipad. Personal Computers and gaming devices of the crew use another system, utilizing a satellite uplink and being diconnected from the Datalink in every way, shape and form imagineable.
To exemplify the processing power of the Type 900 Datalink: When the first prototype of the Type 900 was supposed to be tested, the corresponding department in Laclan hosted a LAN-party with roundabout ten thousand participants (4,157 at height) playing 25 different games - with the 'Local Area Network' reaching across the entirety of the Free Lands with no lags whatsoever.

The Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is equipped with an extensive weapon's suite, optimized for air-defence work.
Core of this suite are the four Ceantar C-46 Mark II CIWS-Turrets. This is the newest development of the ubiquitous 40mm gun, the Ceantar C-44, equipped with its own little targeting and fire control radar. With one being bow mounted and one at the aft, above the hangar, and one mounted on either broadside, these multi-purpose guns' primary function is air-defence, slinging three-hundred 40 millimetre shells per barrel at the enemy or their missiles, but they can also be used as a defence against small vessels and attack craft. The C-46 is capable of firing high-explosive, armour-piercing, armour-piercing discarding sabot, incendiary and training ammunition.
For the defence against missiles and aircraft, the vessel is equipped with two Ceantar C-78 Mark II 23-cell Rolling Airframe Missile Systems. Firing its own small, self-guided missiles, the C-78 is optimized to work against a missiles. With the range of around ten kilometres, the missile has enough time to adjust its course for still hitting the enemy missile, guided by infrared-guidance and a passive radar.
In addition to that, the Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is equipped with four Feadán Fe-16 Mark I 8-cell VLS-modules for short- to medium-range surface-to-air missile, capable of being quad-packed with any compatible hot-launched missile (we recommend consulting the manual). The depth of 4.5 metres ensures, that a wide variety of missiles can be used. While the cells are optimized for surface-to-air missiles, they can be loaded with any missile fitting.

History
Ever since the Selkie-Jebslundian Wargames in the early 50s, air-defence had been a major concern for the SDF. Detection and shooting down of aircraft, which horribly failed back in the day, was made a priority. In 1983, during the Second Vellenge War, the SDF-Navy was not only capable to detect the Lutetiian Air Attack during Operation Summer Sun, but also to counteract it, as well as to execute own long-range strikes.
The Labhandar-class Air Defence Corvette is the culmination of all these developments and research and experiences, specially developed and built for the export market.
As such, a number of new technologies are also first used on these small vessels, amongst them the Ceantar C-46 Mark II CIWS-Turrets, four of which are carried onboard or the Feadán Fe-16 Mark I 8-cell VLS-modules.

The Halsey-class Command Ship is the result of a request for Prototype Development by the Central Jeffersonian Joint Defense Forces for a conventionally-powered Command and Control Vessel as an integral part of the Naval Support Platform Modernization Program.
As such, the Halsey-class is mostly armed for self-defence, despite being classified as a Cruiser by us.

Design
The Halsey-class Command Ship is a conventional monohull vessel displacing up to 22,000 tons under full load, 17,500 tons under standard load. The vessel is 215.97 metres long, has a beam of 33.2 metres and a draught of 6.1 metres.
Crewed by a total of 1,156 officers and men, 644 of which are of the ship's crew, 87 of which belong to the aviation crew and 425 of which belong to the command and control staff, the Halsey-class Command Ship is highly automated incorporates many of the same features in that regard as the Corrán-class Offshore Patrol Vessel.
Most of the men and non-comissioned officers aboard are housed in capsules. This way of accommodations, inspired by capsule hotels, provides maximum usage of available space while also providing maximum privacy. Modular and relocatable, these 2.5 metres long, 1.25 metres wide and 1.5 metres high capsules offer a mattress of 2.25 metres length, a cupboard running along the side of the capsule with many different shelves for a variety of personal belongings, and a panel to be folded out as a working surface. Larger belongings must be stored in a locker while the cleaning facilities are communal.
Speaking of communal facilities, this arrangement also allows for a few more relaxation facilities, like sports rooms, and a larger mess hall and kitchen, as well as a larger food storage.

The Halsey-class Command Ship has a flight deck for helicopters astern, together with a hangar capable of housing up to four medium-sized helicopters of different functions. The flight deck is also rated to handle VTOLs.
A Drone Control Room also allows the Halsey-class Command Ship to direct drones or to take over command and control of them from another station, be it a vessel or a ground station, be they fixed-wing or rotary wing drones.

Although not designed as a dedicated stealth-vessel, the Halsey-class Command Ship incorporates Stealth-Features into its construction, most notably the inclined flanks and the clean lines in general, with very few vertical lines and little in the way of deck-structures. The anchorhouse, for example, is not on deck, but below, staircases inside of the superstructure. Portholes are mostly missing. This also allows for full protection against biological, chemical and nuclear weapons.
While this gives the Halsey-class Command Ship a reduced radar signature, around the size of a small freighter, it is not the only way of detecting a warship and not the only way we made the Halsey-class Command Ship harder to detect.
In order to reduce the acoustic signature, the Diesel Generators were placed on shock-absorbers, which allow for a more silent and smooth running, which, combined with the transmission of electrical power to the azimuth thrusters described below, not only reduces maintenance costs, but also the acoustic signature. This is, as an added bonus, also more comfortable for the crew.
The thermal signature was a bit trickier, but by funnelling the exhaust along tubes underwater, close to the water, it gets cooled down and then exhausted through not one large funnel above, but two smaller ones to the sides, one on port and starboard each. The funnels are also equipped with carbon-dioxide filters to reduce the carbon footprint of the Halsey-class Command Ship, both for environmental purposes and for further stealthing.
Despite all of this, however, the Halsey-class Command Ship is not a dedicated stealth vessel.

Propulsion
The Halsey-class Command Ship is powered by an arrangement known as Integrated Electric Propulsion, IEP for short. Three Diesel Generators, producing a total of 97,000 kW (they actually are the same generators as the ones used on Gabhdán-class Fast Combat Replenishment Ship), provide power for all systems aboard the vessel, from engines to radars to the coffee maker, which allows to safe space and maintenance costs.
These are further lowered by the two azimuth thrusters, which make a rudder unnecessary due to fact, that the vessel can be turned by turning the thruster pods, also enhancing manoeuvrability and eliminating the need for tugs when docking (a set of bow thrusters aids with that as well). Within a dock of appropriate size, these thruster pods and be exchanged relatively easily.
The propellers on these pods are controllable pitch propellers, which enhance the power efficiency of the vessel and allow for quicker acceleration and deceleration, but are also more delicate then fixed pitch propellers.

Thanks to these elements, the Halsey-class Command Ship can attain a flank speed of 30 knots, or 55.56 kilometres per hour, and a cruise speed of 18 knots, or 33.3 knots. At cruise speed, the Halsey-class Command Ship has a range of 10,000 nautical miles or 18,520 kilometres.

Electronic Warfare and Decoys
For its own protection and safety, the Halsey-class Command Ship is equipped with a variety of measures to ensure the continued survival of vessel and crew. Chiefly amongst them are the decoy launchers, the last of all last resorts in case of an attack.
To withstand even the most determined attacks, there are a variety of different systems, flares for confusing heat-guided missiles, chaff for confusing less advanced radar-guided missiles and torpedo decoy launchers for confusing torpedoes, dragged behind the vessel and basically being loud to confuse acoustic-homing torpedoes.
For the defence against more advanced radar-guided missiles, the Halsey-class Command Ship is equipped with a Multi-Ammunition Softkill System, MASS for short. This system, connected to the radars and other sensors, launches decoys, which operate on all relevant wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. This confuses even the most advanced missiles into going for the decoy and not the vessel. The MASS can operate autonomously, but can also be operated by a human.

In addition to the decoys, and to further enhance the abilities of the Halsey-class Command Ship, the vessel is equipped with a variety of systems to conduct Electronic Warfare and Signals Intelligence.
Chiefly amongst them is the Electronic Warfare Set, composed of a full suite for Electronic Countermeasures (ECM), a full suite for Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and a full suite for Electronic Protection (EP). EP, or Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM), enhances the abilities of the vessel to resist enemy Electronic Warfare Measures, usually by hardening the sensors and communication measures against jamming. Electronic Support Measures help with that and general decision making, detecting and analysing electromagnetic transmissions and radiated electromagnetic energy (for example from radars) for the purposes of threat recognition – this also ties into the functions of the MASS and other systems aboard. Electronic Countermeasures work against that, working to deceive enemy sensors either offensively, usually by jamming, and defensively, usually by blip enhancement. The suites installed on the Halsey-class Command Ship are capable of all of that.
The Halsey-class Command Ship is also equipped with a SIGINT-Suite, or Signals Intelligence Suite. Tying into the role as a command vessel, the SIGINT-Suite basically does what the ESM-Suite does, only on a strategic level. That also includes traffic analysis, who talks with whom and in which frequency, as well as cryptanalysis, although the capabilities in this regard are limited (we recommend using dedicated vessels or facilities to conduct cryptanalysis).

The Halsey-class Command Ship is equipped with a variety of sensors, all in order to allow it to function both as a vessel and as a command vessel.
At the core of that is, of course, the radar suite, which is very similar to the one used on many of SDY's vessels, most prominently to the one used on the Rhiannon-II-class Guided Missile Frigate.
Core of this suite are two Nuacht N-13 Mark III Air/Surface Search Radars. These capable and proven multi-function radar. Capable of acting as a surface-search, air-search, navigational and even weather radar, this system is the multi-tool amongst the radars aboard. But like any multi-tool, these radars can do a lot, but they protrude at little.
Of course, for a more specialized air-search capability, the Halsey-class Command Ship carries a Nuacht N-41 Mark III 3D Long Range Air Search Radar, a large and powerful radar capable of not only providing range and bearing, but also altitude. This is an enormous advantage in air defence.
Last, but not least, is the Nuacht N-55 Mark IV Long-Range Surface Search Radar, a small, very capable navigation and surface-search radar, which makes its military ship debut on the Halsey-class Command Ship, having successfully guided freighters for years and decades now. Offering high resolution even at long distances and the capability to detect low-flying aircraft, the N-55 Mark IV is integral to the vessel's functions, including in harbour navigation.

For further abilities in detecting and ultimately counteracting threats, the Halsey-class Command Ship is equipped with an IRST-System, an Infrared Search and Track System, which allows it to search for infrared emissions, for example from incoming missiles or aircraft, at a distance of up to one hundred kilometres, depending on the weather conditions. These passive sensors are especially useful when fighting stealth aircraft or when not wanting to be detected as the IRST-sensors are passive sensors.
Further ranged, because it's function is passive, is the RWR of the Halsey-class Command Ship, a system of Radar Warning Receivers allowing the vessel to tell, when it is being locked on by enemy radar and even to identify the radar locking on. This is also useful when wanting to stay undetected, as the RWR-Sensors are passive by nature as well.

For the detection of sub-surface threats, the Halsey-class Command Ship is equipped with a bow-mounted sonar and a Nuacht N-81 Mark II Variable Depth Sonar astern, the same system as used aboard the Rhiannon-II-class Guided Missile Frigate. This VDS is capable of detecting submarine threats at up to 150 kilometres away with an accuracy of less then 100 metres at that range. The system is also capable of operating in very rough seas, in passive and active modes at the same time (although the active mode can be turned off at any given time) and of providing 360 degrees surveillance around the vessel. The N-81, being towed on a single line, can also analyze the data received, thus also allowing for a torpedo alert function.

The Type 900 Datalink is a system for Duplex Communication in both directions in real time, processing said data in real time as well. Not only sensors and weapons are connected by this system, but virtually everything onboard the ship, from consoles on the bridge to the mobile coffee maker by the helipad. Personal Computers and gaming devices of the crew use another system, utilizing a satellite uplink and being diconnected from the Datalink in every way, shape and form imagineable.
To exemplify the processing power of the Type 900 Datalink: When the first prototype of the Type 900 was supposed to be tested, the corresponding department in Laclan hosted a LAN-party with roundabout ten thousand participants (4,157 at height) playing 25 different games - with the 'Local Area Network' reaching across the entirety of the Free Lands with no lags whatsoever.

Artio Battlespace Network Mark III-D
Another important system aboard the Halsey-class Command Ship is the Artio Battlescape Network Mark III-D. Via directed data-transmission, each ship can share data by direct line of sight, around 45 kilometres, due to the transmitters being placed on a specialized mast.
Although this system can be disrupted, albeit with a whole lot of difficulty, no one can listen in. The direct line of sight also requires, that no obstacles are between the transmission stations, which are kept in line by the Type 900. However, this range can be made next to unlimited by hooking up the whole system to a satellite, which can share the data needed without any problems.
Although normal telecommunication satellites can be used for this purpose, SDY recommends the usage of specialized satellites. The Artio can be connected to major Battlescape Network Systems, but we highly recommend reading the manual beforehand.

the Halsey-class Command Ship is armed to protect itself and vessels around it and not for offensive operations. It's, despite the armour, not built to get into the thick of things but to lead the thick of things from a safe distance away.
This is also very visible in its armament.
Despite being called AA-guns, the four Ceantar C-46 Mark II CIWS-Turrets, of the ubiquitous 40mm calibre, are more multi-purpose guns, which can fling 300 rounds per minute and barrel at any enemy, be they missile, aircraft or small attack craft. Capable of firing high-explosive, armour-piercing, armour-piercing discarding sabot, incendiary and training ammunition, these powerful weapons primary function is to swat flies and exceeds in this function. The C-46 debuted on the Labhandar-class Air-Defence Corvette, also debuting with its own, little fire-control radar.
For short-range defence, the Halsey-class Command Ship carries two Ceantar C-78 Mark II 23-cell RAMs, which are optimized to defend against missiles. The missiles fired, small, self-guiding and with a range of up to ten kilometres, can adjust their angle of attack even against the most advanced missiles for an almost certain kill.
The Ceantar C-78 Mark II 30mm CIWS-turrets, four in total, are optimized against everything that flies and can work both with human guidance or autonomously. With its own little radar, it can acquire, detect, identify and combat targets at a range of up to seven kilometres, spewing 4,500 caseless 30mm rounds at them from six barrels.
Last, but not least, the Halsey-class Command Ship is armed with six 8-cell VLS-Modules, Feadán Fe-16 Mark II, which are optimized for short-, medium- and long-range surface to air missiles for hot launch. The missiles can be quad-packed, if that is wished. The Fe-16 is compatible with every missile fitting, including non-SAMs, but we recommend reading the manual.
In addition to that, the Halsey-class Command Ship is equipped with ten Remote Weapon Stations, four heavy ones as used on the Stalcaire-class Unmanned Surface Vessel, which can hold any sort of weapon up to 40mm guns, as well as six lighter ones for heavy machine guns and autocannons up to 20 millimetres in calibre. How these are equipped is up to the customer. Four balconies, useable for observation or heavy weapon teams, complete the modular part of the weapons suite.

History
The Halsey-class Command Ship is not the first foray of SDY into the construction of dedicated command vessels. The Glorium-class Command Ship, a nuclear-powered trimaran built for an export customer.
Ever since then, Yard 15 played with the idea of a less ambitious and, quite frankly, cheaper design with the same, if not more, capabilities. This design, known as the Pattern 1066, never came off a sheet with a few general ideas jotted down, archived in early 2017. To our knowledge, it still collects dust there.
In mid-2018, the Joint Defense Forces of Central Jeffersonia approached SDY with a request for a prototype development of a command and control vessel as part of the Naval Support Platform Modernization Program of the JDF. Yard 15 accepted the challenge, but quickly came to a realization: The projected budget per vessel of 80 million NSD would not be able to hold up, their initial calculations placed the costs per vessel at 200 million NSD.
After crunching the numbers more and the vessel taking a more final shape, they were able to go with 120 million NSD as an estimate, still heavily over budget, but with a very capable ship in hand to make up for it. In Mid-2018, the JDF was introduced to the final plans.

One Halsey-class Command Ship: 120 million NSD.

The Marjorie-class Ocean Liner is the result of a request for proposal by the Ligne Impériale Transatlantique for a cruise liner, that is not equipped with computer equipment. This interesting request but the engineers of Yard 15 in front of a few challenges, but they managed to push through with their determination.

Design
The Marjorie-class Ocean Liner is a 30,500 tons heavy ocean liner, a monohull-design 215.5 metres in length, with a beam of 24.1 metres and a draught of 12.5 metres. With its ten decks, this vessel can carry up to 2,000 passengers comfortably and is crewed by 1,024 sailors and men, including the staff not responsible for the ship's functions.
Constructed with all modern bells and whistles, like a bulbous bow, the Marjorie-class Ocean Liner has one very unique feature: It's complete lack of computerized equipment, navigation being done on a fully analog bridge.
That does not mean, however, that the vessel lacks electronics: From electrical motors in the cranes lowering the lifeboats to electrical light and radio, there are a wide variety of ship's systems, which are electrically powered, but more about that below.
This lack of computerized equipment also includes the complete lack of a navigation radar, replaced by a radio beacon telling of this lack of radar. We still recommend careful navigating.

The Marjorie-class Ocean Liner is driven by three Gas Turbines, or to be more precise, three turboshaft engines, highly reliable and relatively small engines, which allow for a sustained high power output, their power shafts connected to turbo-electric generators, which transform their mechanical power into electrical power. This is where the power for lights and other systems aboard is generated, but most of that power, around 100,000 Kilowatts, is used to power the two shafts of the vessel and the five-bladed rigid propellers.
This allows for a maximum speed of 35 knots, or 64.8 kilometres per hour, but the most economic cruise speed is around 18 knots or 33.3 kilometres per hour.
The exhaust of the three turbines is channelled through an three smokestacks after being filtered of their carbon-dioxides and carbon-monoxides. These filters need to cleaned or replaced regularly.

The Marjorie-class Ocean Liner has a total passenger capacity of 2,000 passengers, with enough lifeboats for those plus the crew plus five-hundred more people. Of a total of ten decks, seven are accessible to the passengers, four of which are pure passenger decks: Passenger Decks A, B, C and D.
Of those, Passenger Decks C and D house the majority of the passengers, as they are the Third Class Decks, for a total of 1,000 people, housed in small cabins and with little amenities, they are third-class after all. Their bathrooms and eating facilities are found in the steerage between Passenger Decks D and C, around the waterline.
2nd Class Passenger, there are accomodations for around 450 of them, live more comfortably, with their own bathrooms and an own restaurant. Their staterooms have design elements of Art Deco in them, unlike the very functional Third Class Rooms. The Second Class also has access to two gyms on their deck for the excercise necessary in enclosed spaces. The larger of the two gyms also includes a boxing ring and stands.
The Promenade Deck is accessible to all passengers, entertaining with three prayer rooms, grand vistas over the starboard and port sides of the Marjorie-class Ocean Liner, especially from the bow, a large winter garden aft, inviting people to stroll through it in all weather conditions, and theatre for movies and shows. A pair of smoking rooms with libraries is part of the Promenade Deck as well.
The decks above and including the Promenade Deck are part of the Superstructure, ensuring, that the vistas only get better.
This is of special import for the 550 First Class Passengers, which live in uniquely Art Deco designed and arranged staterooms during their trip, on Passenger Deck A. Several smoking rooms with their own libraries and three Gymnasiums ensure, that the First Class Passengers have a lot of entertainment and excercise. One of the gymnasiums is actually not a Gymnasium but a public swimming pool with two attached sauna rooms.
The Bridge Deck, with the bridge and other important technical facilities, is only partial accessable for passengers, but it entertains with a ball room useable as a first class dining room for the Captain's Dinner, as well as a third winter garden and an elegant casino, which can be equipped as the customer wishes.
Last, but not least, is the Sun Deck, the highest deck, which offers the grandest of vistas accessable to passengers (we do not recommend untrained passengers to climb one of the smokestacks), and an outdoor dining area for willing passengers, as well as two seperated areas for sunbathing.
Plans to establish a tennis court up there had been abandoned due to the need for balls.

History
When the Ligne Impériale Transatlantique approached SDY with the request for proposals for the Marjorie-class Ocean Liner, SDY was in a bit of a pickle: SDY was founded in 1983, had little experience with analog shipbuilding, let alone Art Deco.
It was at that point, that the Forelady of Yard 15, and the one responsible for the project, approached Rón Cruise Lines for the plans of the Screamh. This ocean liner from 1935 had been one of the best of its time, albeit smaller then what Ligne Impériale Transatlantique had in mind.
Still, the ocean liner proved to be a valuable point of reference for SDY's engineers, who enlargened the design, modernized it where appropriate and filled it with all the accomodations requested. The resulting design was the Marjorie-class Ocean Liner.

The Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat is a class of gunboats optimized for army-cooperation and combined arms scenarios, especially in riverine and other Brown Water environments.

Design
The Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat is a small riverine craft, optimized for those environments and not very capable in Blue Water environments. Due to the flat bottom, it can safely operate at water depths to at least 1.6 metres, although we recommend at least two metres.
That includes most rivers in the world.
Powered by two Diesel Generators, which power all system aboard in a scheme known as Integrated Electrical Propulsion or IEP, the Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat is easy to operate and maintain, which is further made easier by the two waterjets used for propulsion, which are integrated into the hull, thus not impacting the minimum water depth and providing better protection for the propellers from pointy parts of the ground or debris.
The vessel can attain a maximum speed of 15 knots (or 27.8 kilometres per hour), and has a range of 1,188 nautical miles (or 2,200 kilometres) at ten knots (or 18.5 kilometres per hour).

The crew of 80 sailors, plus an eventual marine complement of forty men and women, is berthed not aboard the Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat as the vessel is too small for extensive crew berthing and long cruises, but if necessary, one of the storage holds can be modified with hammocks and field beds to serve as a sleeping room.
The Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat is equipped with a small communal showering room and four bathrooms, however.

The Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat is armoured in composite ceramics plate, providing the vessel with an armour equivalent to STANAG 4569 Level 4.
The vessel is armed with three turret positions, where a main battle tank sized turret can be fitted – for example the turret of a MBT-line being phased out or maybe even a SPG-turret. We highly recommend, though, to send us the specifications of the intended turrets so that we can prepare fitting them better. We also recommend to not use naval gun turrets.
For self-defence, the Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat is equipped with a Ceantar C-84 Mark I 30mm CIWS for defence against aircraft and missiles. While less a advanced, cheaper version of the semi-autonomous Mark II, the Mark I offers a number of advantages, amongst them being a simpler and easier to operate system, either directly by the weapon and it's video-control or by remote control. Except for the absence of the semi-autonomy, the Mark I and the Mark II are mostly identical.
In addition to that, the vessel is equipped with two Heavy Remote Weapons Stations, which are similar to the ones mounted on the bow of the Stalcaire-class USV, which can be armed with 40mm multi-purpose guns, and delivered empty.
Rounding off the armament are four balconies, which can serve as additional positions for heavy weapons teams or similar occupations.

History
The Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat is the development of an old design in planned for the SDF-Army Riverine Command in the 1940s, the Saint-class Riverine Gunboat (the Selkie-term saint, ironically enough, means avarice). After these vessels were not built, the plans were shelved and archived.
Fast forward a few decades and the Royal Bavarian Navy was stamped out of the ground and needed vessels to putter up and down the Isar and the Königssee. That was, what resulted in the request for proposal for the Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat, named after the well-respected Crown Princess of Bavaria.
Remembering the old Saint-class Riverine Gunboat, SDY picked the plans up and updated them for more modern environments and to fit the requirements of the RBN, resulting in the Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat.

One Kronprinzessin Irene von Wittelsblach-class Riverine Gunboat: 60 million NSD.

Type: Handymax-Sized Hydroponics Vessel
Length: 199 m
Beam: 32.26 m
Draught: 13.3 m (max.)
Propulsion:

The Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel is the result for a request for proposal by the Khaos Konfederacy of Rexzich City for a mobile farm on the seas. Based on the Pattern 253 Freighter, the Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel can be used to grow food, to supply communities from the vessel and to teach agricultural techniques to those interested.
In conjunction with the Uisce-Programme, a version of the vessel utilizing hydrogen power cells and similar systems is going to be offered in the future.

Design
The Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel is a classical monohull design, adapted from the Pattern 253 Freighter, a Handymax-sized Dry Bulk Carrier. With a length of 199 metres, a beam of 32.26 metres and a maximum draught of 13.3 metres, the Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel can traverse most channels and can enter many of the harbours of the world.
The Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel is equipped with a navigational radar, GPS and a small, civilian navigational sonar. A small helipad is located atop of the superstructure, but the Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel is neither equipped nor suited for maintenance and upkeep of a helicopter.
Much like its origin, the Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel is equipped with hydraulic cranes, each capable of lifting up to 30 tons, but unlike the Pattern 253, there are only two cranes, both amidships, one port and one starboard, enabling the vessel to load and offload itself. These cranes have easy access to the cargo rooms and the warehouse, where the produce is stored.
Power aboard is provided by two Diesel Generators, which provide 8,050 kilowatts each, powering one shaft. These Generators are equipped with the most modern filter systems available. Due to the little maintenance requirements, which are a major advantage of Diesel Generators, the upkeep and fuelling of the Generators is easily achieved and secured. These generators produce the all the power needed aboard, the shaft actually being driven by an electrical engine.
In addition to that, the Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel can be powered, in part, by a kite rig. This system takes off the load off the Diesel Engines, thus allowing the vessel's generators to run at a lower rotational speed, thus saving fuel. This kite rig is attached to a mast at the bow, an inflatable foil kite of 350 square metres attached mostly to a control pod, with only one additional line running from kite to vessel.
Running on diesel engines alone, the Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel can attain a maximum speed of 14.4 knots.

The Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel is crewed, ideally, by around 155 people, but that complement can be extended to up to 200 people if needed. Of that, 39 people are the actual ship's crew, the remaining people being agricultural technicians and farmers.
The complement is provided with comfortable living quarters, mostly being housed in the superstructure aft. The Captain and the Head Technician have their own small quarters, while the rest of the crew shares two- or four-bed-rooms, each of them having a small toilet and sink. Showers are communal, separated by gender. Part of the standard architecture are a sickbay with five beds, a mess hall with own kitchen and a recreational room, which can be repurposed as a cinema, class room or ball room.
The Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel is equipped with its own internal network, both for work and recreation, as well as a satellite uplink for both internet access, as well as access to television and radio, all of it, again, for both work and recreation.
The Crew Water Cycle is separate from the Hydroponics Water Cycle, more on that below.

The core of the capabilities and abilities of the Wisewolf-class Hydroponics Vessel are, indeed, the hydroponics. The former six cargo holds were dismantled in favour of a new arrangement: Near the Superstructure, there are three storages, two cargo holds for supplies for vessel and crew, and a warehouse, which is used to store the produce of the vessel, including a cold storage.
The remaining former cargo space is taken up by nine hydroponics modules, ten by twenty metres along the sides and fifteen metres high. These modules, or others of their kind, can be installed and uninstalled at will, as long as a crane capable of lifting at least thirty tons is available. The modules also need to be connected to the vessel's power grid and water cycles.
Other then that, the modules provide space and installations to conduct the growing and harvest of hydroponic fields. Options include, but are not limited to vegetables like tomatoes or beans, herbs like stevia or green mint, or berries like strawberries.
If a few of the modules are used for aquaculture, the raising of fish and similar seafood, the water could be used for the Hydroponics Water Cycle, which will result in Aquaponics and in fertile waste water from the fish being used on the plants.

History
Floating farms are nothing new for the Selkie. Quite on the contrary, on every tourist's travel programme of the Free Lands, one will find the Floating Gardens of Bodmin. Although nowadays mostly used for decorative flowers and herbs, they were once an important part of the city's life support.
But a hydroponics vessel – that was something new for SDY and its engineers.
It became relatively clear from the get-go, that adapting a freighter was the way Yard 15 wished to go, one of the Dry Bulk Carriers, ideally, to serve the multi-function requirement, and a smaller vessel, to serve the orderer's intentions for the vessel. But the Hydroponic System itself was a challenge, which was accepted and conquered with the help of the University of Bodmin and its Department of Agriculture.
With their help, the first prototype Hydroponic Modules were developed and tested, working fine (the strawberry milk made with the harvest was very good) and fitted into the design.
In early 2019, the first vessel was delivered.

Pricing
Cost per unit: 150 million NSD.

Delivery includes nine Basic Hydroponics Modules.

The Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel is a mobile, floating factory vessel based on a request for proposal by the Khaos Konfederacy of Rexzich City for a mobile factory on the seas, that can, if need should arise, work in harbours of underdeveloped nations. To that end, SDY modified the plans for the Pattern 263 Series of Cargo Vessels, including the nuclear reactor, quite extensively.

Design
The Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel is a 365 metres long vessel with a beam of 75 metres and a maximum draught of 17.5 metres. At light displacement, the vessel weights 75,000 tons, when fully loaded, the weight increases to 375,000 tons – at that weight, the full 17.5 metres draught are needed.
A nuclear reactor, a Ga-17 Mark II, the same reactor as aboard the Beag-class Aircraft Carrier, powers the Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel. The Ga-17 Mark II is a Pressurized Water Reactor, which basically works as a nuclear power plants works on land, supported by a double-redundant cooling circle. Every system aboard, from the coffee maker to the factory, is powered by that reactor, allowing the vessel to even produce while underway, provided the factory has enough materials.
The reactor is placed at the aft, beneath the Superstructure. The Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel is equipped with four cranes, each capable of lifting up to 250 tons of cargo, two by the aft, two by the bow. This includes the factory modules, the products made, their components and, of course, the lighters.
For a more power conserving function, the Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel is propelled by two controllable pitch propellers, which alter their angle of attack in order to safe energy. This allows the vessel to travel at a speed of 25 knots, or 46.3 kilometres per hour, at light displacement. Additionally, for easier docking, the Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel is equipped with a bow thruster.
The Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel is equipped with the housing for 105 officers and ship's crew in the superstructure, with most staying in multi-bed rooms. Offices for administration and command, as well as meeting rooms, are in the superstructure as well. The crew and factory workers have a number of facilities available for their recreation while underway, amongst them a satellite uplink to have access to TV, radio and internet, a cafeteria and a sports room. When needed, the cafeteria can be used as a cinema.
On top of the superstructure, the Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel is equipped with a helipad, but the vessel has no appropriate facilities to maintain a helicopter aboard.
The vessel has space for up to 400 factory workers, which live within capsules, cheap and efficient accommodations inspired by capsule hotels: Modular and relocatable, these pods measure 2.5 by 1.25 by 1.5 metres, with a cupboard running along the inside of the capsule, which can be filled with many personal belongings. A panel can be used as a working surface. The cleaning facilities are communal.

The factory itself is composed of up to six modules in a 2-by-3 pattern. The modukes need to be constructed specifically and can be replaced as the situation demands. We recommend to not have them weight more then 200 tons, as their 'slots' are well within the reach of the cranes.

Pattern 906 Cargo Lighter
Displacement:

Empty: 45 tons
Loaded: 200 tons

Length: 16.75 metres
Beam: 4.7 metres
Draught: 2.4 metres
Cargo Capacity: 150 tons

Both the starting materials and the finished products are stored amidships in a dedicated number of cargo holds. The central cargo hold also serves as a hangar for the system, that allows the operation of the Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel in, or at least near, less developed or less deep harbours: Up to fifteen cargo lighters, stacked three by five, like the Pattern 906 Cargo Lighter. These small vessels can even be loaded aboard the Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel and lifted into the water by the cranes, transporting the goods to and from the Erol-class Mobile Factory Vessel to and from the shore. As both their range and their high seas capabilities are rather limited, we recommend only using them close to shore.

Pricing
Cost per unit: 1.25 billion NSD.

Delivery includes fifteen Pattern 906 Cargo Lighters.

The Pattern 906 Cargo Lighter is SDY's next entry in the Harbour Helpers Line, a line dedicated to the small vessels, which might not be in the spotlight much, but which are still very important for the fundamental functions of any large harbour.
In this case, the Pattern 906 Cargo Lighter is not only for harbour waters, but is also usable and useful in inland navigation.

Design
The Pattern 906 Cargo Lighter is a flat-bottomed barge, open-topped vessel, which can transport up to 150 tons of cargo, be it containers, bulk or other goods. The total loaded displacement armounts to 200 tons, with an empty displacement of 45 tons and five tons of fuel and stores.
With its singular water-jet, protected from typical river debris like sticks by filters, allow the Pattern 906 Cargo Lighter to attain a maximum speed of nine knots (or 16.7 kilometres per hour) when light with a range of 250 nautical miles (or 463 kilometres), transporting a crew of three to four sailors. With a small, protected bridge and a small deckhouse with its own kitchenette, they can stay aboard for a while.
The Pattern 906 Cargo Lighter measures 16.75 metres in length, has a beam of 4.7 metres and a draught of 2.4 metres. Due to its construction, the Pattern 906 Cargo Lighter is not a vessel suited for high seas transport for goods. The vessel is ideally used in harbour and riverine environments, if need and good weather be in coastal waters.

The Bevington-class Gunboat is a vessel developed and produced by the SDY-subsidiary Bád Industries Limited of Cuan, based on a request for prototype development by the Knessian Militia and Levy Administration. As a lightly armed, smallest of vessels, the Bevington-class Gunboat is mostly optimized for Brown Water Environments, meaning coastal waters and especially rivers.
SDY is working on a project known as the Pattern 1199 Gunboat Carrier or, after Knessiet joined the project, the Herman-class Gunboat Carrier.

Design
The Bevington-class Gunboat is a small, flat-bottomed boat displacing 25 tons at a length of 17.5 metres, a beam of 4.25 metres and a draught of 1.75 metres.
Designed as a classical monohull vessel, this boat's hull is constructed by welding 8 millimetre thick aluminium plates onto a steel frame, said plates also functioning as the vessel's armour. Welded on top of that is the superstructure, the two storey deck house with the bridge in front of that. Atop the superstructure, a small crow's nest can be used to mount additional weapons and, more importantly, houses the mast of the small navigation radar, a Nuacht N-119 Navigation Radar with an effective reception range of 25 kilometres, more then enough for its intended environments.
The N-119 can also be used as fire control radar for the mortar, but we do not recommend it. The Bevington-class Gunboat is also equipped with a small radio, which allows the reliable communication with the shore and headquarters hundreds of kilometres away. A small dipping sonar is installed at the bow, which allows the vessel to chart its own way around underwater obstacles.
A small locker room is usable as a weapons locker and locked by a fingerprint scanner.

The crew of one officer and eight sailors, one of them usually an NCO, can be housed in the superstructure, where four of them have sleeping spots, with a small caboose. The Bevington-class Gunboat can also carry between ten and forty additional soldiers in a transport role, the total amount of soldiers depending on the range these soldiers need to be transported – for a day trip, a platoon can be carrier.
Armed with two autocanons, one at the bow, one in the crow's nest, as well as a mortar, the Bevington-class Gunboat can provide both fire support for the ground troops and fight foes by itself. Instead of installing weaponry for the customer, Bád Industries decided to not install any weaponry, so that the customer can equip these boats with armament according to their standards. We recommend a heavy machine gun in double mounting in the crow's nest, another double mount at the bow and a mortar of up to 120 millimetres at the aft. Furthermore, the Bevington-class Gunboat is equipped with a small, high-powered searchlight.

The power to operate the Bevington-class Gunboat is generated by a diesel generator, which generates the power for one waterjet, which allowed the Bevington-class Gunboat to attain a maximum speed of 35 knots, or 64.8 kilometres per hour. The silent waterjet is protected from debris and flotsam by filters and, much like the diesel generators, easy to maintain and operate.
The Bevington-class Gunboat has stores for five days of operations (including for transported troops) and has, at cruise speed, a range of 300 nautical miles (or 555 kilometres). The fuel tanks at the bow are, in case of enemy fire penetrating the hull, self-sealing, as are the water tanks.

History
Riverine Operations and corresponding craft had long-since been a staple for the SDF – for the Army, not the Navy, who, as part of the SDF-Army Sapper Corps, always maintained and operated a number of riverine craft. With the downturn on defence spending after the Second Vellenge War in 1983, these boats, the heaviest fighting vehicles of the SDF-Army for decades by that time, were decommissioned in 1990 without proper replacement except for Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boats (RHIBs or rubber dinghies).
For a time, officers of the Sapper Corps proposed newer and better Riverine Operations Crafts, but they were all turned down – even after the Battle of Marley Bay in 2012, there were no changes to that at first. It took until 2016, to the Niochan Army Reforms, until that changed and a catalogue of wanted specifications was established, which was posted to the ship and boatyards of the Free Lands.
Enter Knessiet.
The Militia and Levy Administration was, from 2015, searching for a new riverine operations craft and gunboat for usage with the militias and levies, and maybe even the regular Army. In 2018, they approached SDY with the request for prototype development for what would become the Bevington-class Gunboat. They handed it further down the line to Bád Industries, which is specialized in small boats.
Bád, who was by then developing a Pattern 1198 Riverine Operations Craft for the SDF-Army, was working for both designs from a water shuttle intended for usage in the Silver Bay and the many rivers of the Free Lands and abroad, the Pattern 11 Water Taxi.
Realizing how similar both designs turned out to be, Bád Industries offered both the Militia and Levy Administration and the SDF-Army to merge both designs into one, which would be cheaper for both. With the prototype being launched in early 2019, both sides agreed.
It is planned to be building around two hundred of these vessels for the Knessians and thirty-five for the SDF-Army Sapper Corps.

The Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat is a nuclear-powered ocean-going tugboat and the result of a request for proposal by the Department of Defence of the National Republic of Thermodolia to haul disabled vessels or vessels, which had broken down out of operational areas – or generally to haul vessels from one place to the other, when these vessels can't move under their own power.

Thodésca is a major harbour city in Thermodolia.

Design
The Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat is less of a boat and more of a ship displacing 1,600 tons, a monohull design with a length of 68.5 metres, a beam of 12.5 metres and a draught of 4.5 metres. Quite a bit of the weight comes from the armour over critical areas like the reactor and the reinforcing of hull and vessel against ice.
Crewed by 85 officers and men, the Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat has only a relatively small crew for a vessel of this size and purpose. Unlike with other utility vessels of SDY, the crew is housed in cabins, with communal washing spaces. The cabins are two-man rooms for the enlisted men and with officers housed in single rooms. For recreation, there is a mess hall, which can be adapted to be used as a cinema and in other functions and a fitness room.
In cases of emergencies, this mess hall can be also used as a makeshift hospital with the sickbay, with fifty beds, being next doors. However, the Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat does not replace a hospital vessel or a hospital on dry shore. The kitchen can cook for up to 250 people at the same time in a decent quality.
The Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat is fully NBC-Protected as well as degaussed.

For its work as a tugboat and salvaging vessel, the Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat is equipped with workshops, additional bilge pumps to bilge other vessels, who can't bilge themselves or can't do it in a sufficient amount themselves. Both to disiduate attackers and to put out fires, the Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat is equipped with four hoses with a throughput of 1200 litres of water per minute with ten bars of pressure and a range of 65 metres. These hoses, very much akin to the water canons on the Corrán-class Offshore Patrol Vessel, can mix fire foam into the water pumped from the sea or shoot said water directly.
A twenty ton crane at the bow allows for work on vessels, as well as lowering the four dinghies aboard into the water. The vessel can also serve as base-vessel for divers, both for mine-clearance divers and repair divers, which can also rely on the services of two electrically powered underwater welders.

Everything, including said welders and the engines, is powered by a nuclear reactor with a total output of 75 megawatts. This reactor, a Ga-17 Mark IV, is the civilian version of the nuclear reactors used aboard many of SDY's military vessels. It is a pressurized water reactor, relying on a triple redundant cooling system, while also being armoured.
Two azimuth thrusters with ducted propellers allow for better course stability at lower speeds while also being less vulnerable against debris, although the efficiency deficits at higher speeds do not matter as much due to the over-abundance of power. This system is also of advantage due to increased manoeuvrability, which is further increased by a bow thruster.
The Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat can attain an unburdened maximum speed of 22.5 knots or 41.7 kilometres per hour and a bollard pull of 550 tons.

The Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat is equipped with armament for self-defence, a twin L70/76 millimetre turret, a Túirín T-12 Mark II like the Scoth-class Corvettes and several other vessels of the SDF-Navy use them, and four 40 millimetre AA-guns, which are more akin to multi-purpose guns for defence against aerial and surface threats.
The civilian version of the Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat is disarmed.

History
It is a fact of life, that things break.
That also applies to naval vessels and sometimes even to those built by us – a shocking fact, which we usually blame on insufficient maintenance, but which actually happens sometimes. In any case, while, in times past, it was sufficient to throw ropes from one vessel to the other and to wait for good winds or to give the rowers a stronger beat, things got more complicated.
While a disabled vessel can still be towed away by other vessels, repairs and maybe even salvaging work need to be done by specialized vessels.
One of these vessels is the Thodésca-class Ocean Tugboat, a nuclear-powered tugboat originally developed for military purposes, but also a capable vessel in civilian hands. The Water Polices already ordered on of these vessels, while the Department of Defence of the National Republic of Thermodolia ordered a total of twenty vessels.

The SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft is a twin-turboprop carrier-borne AWACS, ground attack and generally support aircraft with twin-booms.

The term fairtheoir means watchman.

Design
The SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft is a 14.1 metres long, 5.1 metres high aircraft with a wingspan of 16.1 metres when extended and 8.0 metres when folded up for storage. It's main defining trait are the twin-booms, two longitudinal booms extending from the main wing backwards on either side of the centreline. The cockpit is housed in a central nacelle, where pilot and radar operator sit.
This arrangement allows for easier access to the nacelle, and the systems housed in it, for maintenance and repairs, as well as less surface area of the aircraft, which results in less aerodynamic drag and thus either more speed or less fuel consumption. The engines are generally easy to maintain, although skilled personnel is required for that.
A pilot and a radar operator fly the aircraft in the small cockpit nacelle in a tandem configuration with the radar operator facing backwards onto his screens. The cockpit is fully digital, with LCD screens displaying all relevant information and more. It can be hooked up to a helmet with Heads Up Display. The aircraft is also controlled by fly-by-wire controls with triple-redundant controls and dual redundant digital databusses. An inertial navigation system provides the pilot with data about speed, heading and position.
With the aid of additional fuel tanks, the radar operator can also make use of the flying boom installed at the rear of the nacelle, allowing the SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft to act as an aerial gas station.
The SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft can act as a node for the Artio Battlescape Network, a including satellite communication systems. As such, it is also compatible with many of the most common battlescape network systems, but we still recommend reading the manual.

Radar
The SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft is equipped with not one, but two radars: One is a small aircraft radar with a range of up to sixty kilometres and operating on the X-Band, placed in the nose and mostly serving normal flight operations.
More important, however, is the actual AWACS Radar, a Nuacht N-45 Mark III Planar Phased Array Radar, which is a sibling to the one used on the SDY-Greadtóir 19 Cuaifeach Mark I Shipborne AWACS Helicopter. The N-45 is a planar array radar, which, in Mark III configuration, is a dual-sided antenna mounted onto the back of the SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft – modular architecture of that mounting allows for easy removal for maintenance.
The N-45 Mark III can detect and track aircraft-sized targets at a maximum range of 250 kilometres, as well as ask for their identity. Ships can be detected, depending on their size, at a range of 300 to 400 kilometres. These ranges can be reached along the 'broadsides' of the radar array, while aircraft-sized targets can be acquired and tracked at a distance of 100 kilometres when in front or the back.
In addition to merely detecting aircraft and asking for their identity, the N-45 Mark III is capable of processing signals it receives, for example from other radars, and identifying them as well – or sending the signatures down for analysis. The N-45 can also track while scan and features frequency-hopping, which allows the radar to counteract jamming. The N-45 has an air-search and a sea search mode.

Engines
The SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft is powered by two Luas L-40 Mark XIX Turboprop Engine, which provide 3,250 kW of power each. It is a single-shaft, modular engine with a 14-stage axial flow compressor driven by a 4-stage turbine. These engines drive two seven-bladed scimitar propellers and are equipped with FADEC Units, or Full Authority Digital Engine Control Units, which regulate the engines better to provide maximum fuel efficiency and save weight, as well as on indicators, which the pilot has to monitor, thus making the SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft easier to fly.
The great advantages of turboprops, especially at flying below 725 km/h, is their greater fuel efficiency when compared to a turbojet aircraft flying at a similar speed – however, the great disadvantage in this comparison is, that a turbojet can fly at greater altitudes, which allow for higher speeds.
The L-40 is one of the longest-serving aircraft engines in the history of the Free Lands, the Mark II being introduced in 1960 with the Sciathan Méid, a civilian passenger aircraft. Mark XIX was developed in the mid-2010s, a rugged and reliable engine for the application with turboprop aircraft designed for difficult environments and short airstrips (like a carrier's flight deck, although we still recommend the usage of a catapult).

The SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft is equipped with eight hardpoints with provisions to carry 7.5 tons in additional fuel tanks or ammunition. If the aircraft is to be launched from carriers, we recommend a weapons load of around five tons for safe operations. The hardpoints can be used to carry smart and dumb bombs, rockets, missiles and the aforementioned additional fuel tanks, as well as support equipment such as ECM-pods and cameras or even cargo pods. While the aircraft is not a fighter aircraft, the SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft can be equipped with air-to-air missiles.
The Gabha G-116 Mark III is a 30 millimetre revolver canon, the same as on the SDY-Sciathan 18 Stuama Mark II Light Multirole Fighter, has a selectable rate of fire of either 200, 400, 800, 1,400 or 2,500 rounds per minute. The chamber is electrically operated, which is reliable and safe, as well as fast, nearly twice as fast as the gas-operated predecessor, and housed in the wing-roots.

History
Sciathan has always been one of the chief suppliers of aircraft to the SDF. The first jet, the Fabhcun, had been built by Sciathan and while such orders brought much profit and prestige, the company did not rest on laurels.
In the 1960s, with the Sciathan Méid, the company opened itself to turboprop aircraft, an option, which was rarely used until then – but once the Méid turned out to be a success, Sciathan began multiple projects. One of these was, in the early 70s, the Sciathan Fairtheoir, a twin-engine, turboprop aircraft with normal fuselage and butterfly tailplanes, built as a patrol and attack aircraft. It was an ambitious project, which came to a screeching halt in the Yard Crisis, a huge economic crisis in the Free Lands.
Sciathan itself barely survived.
The project was revived for a short while after the Second Vellenge War in 1983, but was shelved again in 1985.
Fast forward, Sciathan became a subsidiary of SDY, built a number of aircraft, while SDY built an aircraft carrier, the Beag-class Aircraft Carrier, which led to the need for carrier-borne aircraft. One of the roles needed was a support aircraft and someone remembered the Sciathan Fairtheoir – of course, the original design was unsuited and development, under the name SDY-Sciathan 22 Fairtheoir Carrier Support Aircraft, began anew and from scratch.
First Flight was in the spring of 2018, the SDF evaluating the design for its own, land-borne usage. Several other countries expressed interest as well. In late 2019, the SDF decided to adopt the Fairtheoir, for the Navy as a supplement to the Guairdeall and for the Army as a heavier alternative to the Veilbhit-II Light Attack Aircraft and general support plane.

The Pattern 1199 Lighter Carrier, also known as the Herman-class Gunboat Carrier, is a vessel developed and built for one purpose and one purpose only: Taking aboard smaller, only-brown-water capable vessels and bringing them over the ocean to new environments. These vessels can range from Cargo Lighters like the Pattern 906 Cargo Lighter to gunboats like the Bevington-class Gunboat and even a considerably smaller number of Fast Attack Craft. Additionally, the Pattern 1199 Lighter Carrier can also work as tender and mobile repair workshop for, technically, any sort of vessel, not only riverine gunboats.

Design
The Pattern 1199 Lighter Carrier is a 61,000 tons heavy vessel built to transport lighters and riverine gunboats above blue water, towards their areas of deployment and back, if necessary. With a length of 275 metres, a beam of 31.3 metres and a draught of 10.4 metres at full load, the Pattern 1199 is a larger vessel, falling into the New Panamax Category.
The vessel is powered by two Diesel Generators, which supply up to 58 Megawatts of power for all systems aboard, from the coffeemaker to the engines, by a system known as Integrated Electric Propulsion: Power is generated aboard to supply the ships systems, thus saving weight on engines and costs in maintenance, instead of wasting either with engines, power generators, gearboxes and so on. To further enhance the capacities of the Pattern 1199, the vessel is equipped with two azimuth thrusters and a bow thruster, allowing for much smaller turning circles and docking without the assistance of a tugboat, while also allowing for easier maintenance.
With the usage of the engine's full power, the Pattern 1199 can attain a maximum speed of 27 knots or 50 kilometres per hour. At the more modest cruising speed of 15 knots, or 27.7 kilometres per hour, the vessel has a range of 10,000 nautical miles or 18,520 kilometres.

The vessel is operated by a crew of 95 officers and men, plus can have a maintenance crew of up to 405 officers and men, which are to take care of the lighters or gunboats aboard. In the normal configuration, the vessel can also carry up to 500 passengers, the crews of the lighters.
This crew is housed in sleeping pods, the cheap and efficient accommodations inspired by capsule hotels: Measuring 2.5 by 1.25 by 1.5 metres, these modular and relocatable fibreglass pods mostly consist of a mattress, with a cupboard along the side for personal belongings and a panel as a working surface. Cleaning facilities are communal and lockers for larger belongings, like clothes, are provided.
Despite its clear civilian use, the Pattern 1199 can not only be used as a military vessel, but also armed like one, with provisions for two CIWS mounts, as well as four balconies, all of which are not fitted. In a civilian application, these positions remain empty and give a nice view.

Well Deck
The most obvious particularity of the Pattern 1199 is the Well Deck, which not only allows for the transportation of smaller boats but also for their quick and easy deployment, as well as be taken aboard again. The Well Deck measures 55.9 by 20.6 metres and is twelve metres high. It can be flooded to a depth of three metres, easily capable of allowing for the storage and deployment of twelve Pattern 906 Cargo Lighters or fifteen Bevington-class Gunboats or any other vessel fitting in under full load.
But not only that: An internal crane system allows to lift vessels in the well deck into the cargo hold, where up to twenty four more lighters can be stored (or an equivalent number of Gunboats), and into the maintenance areas, where up to two lighters can be repaired.
A pair of cranes on the deck and two hatches can be used to lift lighters from the cargo hold onto the water or into the workshop or the other way around. However, the Pattern 1199 can not carry further lighters or gunboats on the deck.

History
The Pattern 1199 is the result of a question by an officer of the SDF-Army: “Nice and dandy, that we have new gunboats, but how do we get them to the Archipelago?”
The reply was Stutter-Beep.
With the SDF-Army Sapper Corps taking the Bevington-class Gunboat as their equipment, the SDF also sought vessels to transport them to their place of deployment should they be needed abroad – the Archipelago being only one example. First, an adapted vessel of the Pattern 253 Dry Bulk Carrier of the Auxiliary Freighter Group was used, which was soon realized as being quite ineffective.
So, a specialized vessel needed to be constructed. Combined with the need to transport Lighters, both loaded and unloaded, SDY began to work on a specialized vessel: The Pattern 1199.
Commissioning of the first vessel of the SDF-Navy was delayed by infighting of who would command the vessel, Navy or Army, until Mona Beag of the Tribe of Louth mediated. Her compromise was, that the Captain was of the Navy, while the First Officer was of the Sapper Corps, preferably someone, who would not get seasick.
The commissioning is planned for June 2019.

Cost per unit, without any gunboats, lighters or armaments: 200 million NSD.

The Kaiserin und Königin Maria Melanie class Yacht, often shortened to Maria-Melanie-class Yacht is a custom-built yacht, ordered by the Imperial and Royal Ministry of Defense. She is modular in the sense that she is planned to be equipped with a number of defensive systems, but does not have them yet, and in the sense, that multiple interior designs are available, one of which is the neoclassical design (our design firm is currently working on more designs).
She is also built to have a minimal acoustic signature and environmental impact. In case of need, the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht can be repurposed as a hospital vessel.
Design and construction were done by the SDY-Subsidiary Bád Industries of Cuan.

Design
The Marie-Melanie-class Yacht is a 5,500 tons heavy monhull vessel with a length of 129.5 metres, a beam of 19.3 metres and a draught of 4.9 metres. The main mast's top is 44 metres above the surface, serving as a radio mast and radar station for the two Nuacht N-13 Mark III Air/Surface Search Multifunction Radars, which can also be used as navigation radars, if need should arise. The N-13 is a capable and proven radar system used on a multitude of SDY's vessels, most of which are military vessels, but also on civilian vessels like the Corrán-class Offshore Patrol Vessels. The other mast is 40 metres tall.
Power aboard is generated by three Diesel Generators, which produce a total of 12,000 kW. These generators rest on shock absorbers similar to the ones found on submarines and with a similar effect: Reducing vibrations of the generators and thus noise, reducing not only the acoustic signature but also increasing comfort of the people aboard due to them simply not hearing or feeling the vibrations of the generators.
The power generated by these three generators is used to power the two azimuth thruster pods below the stern, which allow for safe and easy cruising, as well as easy and especially cheap maintenance as the pods are fitted with electric engines, which do not require large, heavy and complicated gearboxes to have the power transferred from the generators to the engines. A bow thruster allows for easy docking and navigation.
This allows the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht to attain a maximum speed of 22 knots or 40.7 kilometres per hour at a range of 6,500 nautical miles or 12,038 kilometres at a cruising speed of 18 knots or 33.3 kilometres per hour.
At the stern, the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht has a helicopter landing pad, but carries no further aircraft handling facilities. Four dinghies, one of them being a Majestic-class Boat, are included into the delivery. If needed, the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht can be replenished at sea, both vertically and horizontally, the maintenance of this skill by the crew being required.

The vessel is crewed by a ship's crew of 35 officers and men, with berthing facilities for an additional 200 stewards and a guards platoon of 50 officers and men, who can store their weaponry in three armouries. While the first plans called for capsule berthing, the final decision went to standard berthing in sleeping halls. In lieu with the secondary function as a hospital vessel, the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht can of course also be crewed by a hospital staff. For this very same purpose, and for the medical care of guests aboard, the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht is equipped with an onboard hospital with an Operating Theatre and a dentist's office.
The Maria-Melanie-class Yacht has a capacity to host 250 guests for the evening, but can also have up to 30 guest stay overnight in staterooms.
Fittings for four torpedo decoy launchers can be found between the Promenade Deck and Deck 4, while the four fittings for the countermeasure launchers are placed in practical locations all over the vessel. Fittings for a CIWS- or RAM-Mount are found on the Sun Deck, above the bridge. SDY can install the respective systems from our own stocks and manufacturers for an additional price, but own systems can be installed as well.

For entertainment purposes, the Marie-Melanie-class Yacht is equipped with an Onboard Entertainment Network, a local LAN with sockets and WLAN-stations all over the vessel, which can be used for entertainment purposes from playing multiplayer video games to, in combination with the two Satellite Uplinks in the masts, watching television and listening to the radio or accessing the Internet. The OEN is physically isolated from the Ship's Network.

The Marie-Melanie-class Yacht has a total of eight decks.
Decks and 1 and 2, beneath the waterline, hold technical facilities, the generator rooms and other technical spaces and storages, although the two large cargo holds on Deck 2 extend to Deck 3, which is equipped with large doors, one on either side of the vessel, which allow for easier loading and unloading of the vessel. The hold doors are installed into the sides of the hull and opened, as well as lowered, by hydraulics and can be used to carry cargo as well. We tested the system with the three tons heavy Walaea Motorworks W-115 Armoured Limousine and it worked perfectly without undue stress to the doors.
Then comes the waterline.
Deck 3 houses the crew quarters and facilities, including a mess hall and a sports room.
Deck 4 is the place of the onboard facilities, for example the doctor's office and the kitchens, which include two large walk-in freezers, the washing salon, lifts to the upper decks and conference rooms. An onboard library, a sauna and a massage salon are included as well.
The Promenade Deck is Deck 5, featuring a roofed walkway extending from the bow to the stern for promenading on both sides of the vessel. Aside from that, this deck features a variety of rooms, including the staterooms for the guests staying overnight, and an indoors swimming pool of twenty metres, which is for recreation and sports. The Promenade Deck also has a ladder leading down to the water at the stern, which can be folded up. Its primary purpose is to allow the passengers easy access to swimming in the ocean as well as to allow the crew to take aboard passengers from dinghies.
The Main Deck, Deck 6, is the uppermost continuous deck of the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht, and the main area to be for guests and passengers. One of the most important features of the Main Deck is the large dining room, which can hold up to 250 guests for dinner, can be used as a cinema, ball room and theatre as well (in plans for repurposing this vessel as a hospital ship, this would be the main hospital). Other then that, the Main Deck also features the helicopter landing pad astern and a weather deck at the bow, which can be used for assemblies as well. A larger library, a salon and a reception room by the landing pad complete the Main Deck.
Above Deck 6 is Deck 7, known as the Living Deck, mainly due to its function: The apartment of the owner and his family is located there. Astern, towards the helicopter landing pad, the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht has a balcony for the apartment. Other then that, the segmentation of the apartment is completely up to the orderer and what he feels most comfortable in. The Apartment is accessible either by a staircase leading up from the Promenade Deck and connecting the promenade and the Main Deck, or by one of the two lifts, which are actually supposed to connect the kitchens and the large dining room. The forward ten metres of the Living Deck are occupied by the bridge.
Above the Living Deck, the Sun Deck can be found, the open topmost deck of the vessel, which is planked in wood and can be used as a party area. For that purpose, it can be roofed with cloth as well. A small stage astern allows for performers to play their pieces, while provisions to hold tables and chairs even while underway are made. A bar can be added as well.

History
The Maria-Melanie-class Yacht is the last one in a line of yachts, which began with the Cineál-class Yacht and has found its current high point in the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht and its name ship, Ihrer Majestät Schiff Kaiserin und Königin Maria Melanie.
However, she actually began her life long before the order for such a vessel by the Imperial and Royal Ministry for Defence: One of the first drafts for the Aurelia-class Sailing Yacht bears striking resemblance to the Maria-Melanie-class Yacht. However, Bád Industries decided to explore a different design avenue, one of a completely sail-propelled vessel, and this first draft vanished in the archives...
...only to be pulled out again two years later.
Building and construction went off without hitches and in June 2019, Ihrer Majestät Schiff Kaiserin und Königin Maria Melanie was launched, making a few test cruises before being handed over to the new owners in September of 2019.

The Imperator-class Command Vessel is a vessel designed primarily as a command and control vessel for fleet units, landing forces and entire armies already ashore, with the additional use as a fire support platform and provider for air cover for own fleet units. This includes the use of heavy naval artillery.
The design is SDY's answer to a request for proposals by the Admiralty of the Alpes a Septentrionali Imperium.

Design
The Imperator-class Command Vessel is a 250.6 metres long, 35.1 metres wide and 35,000 tons heavy monohull vessel with a draught of 7.5 metres at standard displacement. The vessel is armoured by Kevlar Splinter Plating over vital areas like magazines, the bridge and other such segments.
While built with a reduced radar-crosssection in mind, it is not a dedicated stealth vessel.

The vessel is powered in a scheme known as Integrated Electric Propulsion, IEP for short, with Diesel Generators producing a total of 150,000 kilowatts of power.
It's safe, it saves space and costs in maintenance and upkeep and it allows for a number of different tricks in design and construction of the vessel, the most important of which are the four azimuth thrusters, which propel the vessel forward. The engines, electrical engines located four pods underneath the stern of the vessel eliminate the need for a rudder and, with the aid of a bow thruster, allow for easier docking and movement of the vessel, making it more agile.
With these propulsion systems, the Imperator-class Command Vessel can attain a maximum speed of 32 knots, or 59.25 km/h, although the cruise speed is closer to 18 knots, or 33.3 km/h. At said cruise speed, the Imperator-class Command Vessel has a range of 6,000 nautical miles or 11,112 kilometers.

Without additional crew members, the Imperator-class Command Vessel is crewed by 1,152 officers and men. The crew quarters are sparse, but not spartanic, with several multifunction halls available – usually, these are mess halls, but they can be quickly adopted into theatres for movies or even dance halls, depending on the need.
Officers have two messes available to them.
In its role as a support vessel for ground troops, the Imperator-class Command Vessel has a small hospital aboard, with a total of 75 beds, 15 of which belong to the Intensive Care Unit. A dentist and his nurses have a space aboard as well.

The Imperator-class Command Vessel is equipped with facilities to carry, maintain and deploy a total of ten Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) or similar vessels of that size.

Command and Control
In lieu with the role as a command vessel, the Imperator-class Command Vessel is equipped with a fully functioning suite of the Artio Battlescape Network, a highly advanced battlescape network connecting troops and commanders for quick reaction, information sharing, as well as Command and Control.
For that purpose, the Imperator-class Command Vessel also carries appropriate facilities to carry an Admiral and his Staff as well as two Generals and their Staffs, including staff quarters, the vessel being planned with a total of 400 visitors aboard.

Sensors
The Imperator-class Command Vessel is equipped with an extensive and advanced radar suite to detect incoming threats and to allow combatting them with their escorts. Core of that suite is not a radar in and of itself, but the system combining the data from radar and other sensors and sending it to the appropriate places and thus allowing for easier communication and control of the data flow, which makes combatting the threats far easier: The Type 900 Datalink, a Duplex Communication System connecting everything aboard except for personal devices of the crew (these use another system).
Three Nuacht N-12 Air/Surface Search Multifunction Radars are the workhorses of the radar suite, capable of acting as air search, surface search, navigation, weather and fire control radars. These radars can track up to 350 targets in maximum TWS Mode, from small surface attack craft to missiles and passenger planes. However, the radar is limited to one function at a time, due to the multifunction requiring a change in the operating band, the set of frequencies, where the radar operates.
Two more dedicated radars complete the suite, a Nuacht N-38 Fire Control Radar, used to track the own shells and rounds in order to adjust fire, and a Nuacht N-41 Mark III 3D Air Search Radar. The N-41 is an S-Band Radar with a range of 500 kilometers, capable of tracking not only range and bearing of an aerial target, but also its altitude, which is a huge advantage in air defence.

Armament
The Imperator-class Command Vessel is extensively armed, although mostly for self-defence and its role as a fire support platform.
Core of the latter function are the three heavy gun positions, arranged in centerline at the bow. Each of these positions is capable of carrying a gunhouse of 1,500 tons. The positions reach five decks down and allow for a barrel protruding up to fifteen metres outwards, with the Number 2 Turret superfiring over the Number 1 Turret.
The defensive armament is, for the closest last-resort layer, very gun-focused, namely by four Ceantar C-84 30mm CIWS, a semi-autonomous missile defence system, two Ceantar C-78 23-cell RAMs, a small missile defence system firing missiles itself, and four Ceantar C-44 40mm AA-Guns. The C-44 is less of an AA-gun and more of a multi-purpose gun, either working completely autonomously or remote controlled, using data provided by the radars via the Type 900 Datalink.
In addition to this, the Imperator-class Command Vessel is a total of 240 VLS-cells arranged in thirty eight-missile-modules, Feadán Fe-12 Mark II Systems. These shafts, each capable of multi-packing missiles, are designed for hot launching missiles, which can fit into a 90 centimeter by 93 centimeter by 7.82 metre box, for example SDY's own Type 40 and Type 43 Anti-Ship Missiles or Gabha Blacksmith's Miodóg Short-Range Surface-to-Air Missile. Before installing new missiles, we highly recommend reading the manuals.
Despite its capabilities for self-defence, we recommend to never let the Imperator-class Command Vessel sail alone.

History
Dreadnought-Construction was never a concern for the Free Lands. Without an industrial base and with no need, the SDF-Navy rather planned with cruisers and torpedo boats in the appropriate time – and when the Dreadnought fell out of favour in mainstay military planning (although there are still enough nations with such battleships and constructing new vessels of this kind), the shipyards of the Free Lands did not have to adjust much.
When the SDF-Navy began planning for the acquisition of a number of guided missile cruisers, which would turn out to be the Maighdean-class Missile Cruiser, SDY had no previous experiences with vessels of that size save for freighters. However, with more and more designs of that size-category joining the catalogue, from the Glorium-class Command Ship to the Halsey-class Command Ship, SDY gained confidence and managed to finish the Maighdean-class Missile Cruiser into an excellent vessel.
Then came the Imperator-class Command Vessel: A dedicated command and control vessel requested by the Admiralty of the Alpes a Septentrionali Imperium, which should also act like a fire-support platform. With two similar vessels already under the belt, SDY began construction, working off a hull design discarded in lieu with the Glorium-class.
The greatest challenge were the heavy artillery positions, mainly due to no company in the Free Lands producing fitting guns, as the original request for proposal speaks of a total of eight 42 centimeter guns and an extensive secondary artillery suite, so SDY turned to one of the companies, which had produced such artillery, namely Alqatat Gunsmiths. With their support, SDY developed a system, which allowed for the installation of turrets of different sizes into the hull during the vessel's construction, making the vessel more adaptable for the needs of the customers.
After several delays in the development, the Imperator-class Command Ship was send for approval to the Admiralty and accepted in September 2019.

The Bourno-class Yacht is the result of a request for a yacht by Miss Leia Leour of Willitya. For SDY, it is a bit of an experimental design as well, mainly due to using a tumblehome-style hull design for the first time in such a large vessel.

Design
The Bourno-class Yacht is a 12,500 tons heavy, 220 metres long monohull yacht with a draft of 9.6 meters and a beam of 50.3 meters. While this last figure sounds massive, this arrangement is mostly due to the tumblehome construction of the vessel.
This construction method, originally from the age, when sails and oars were the engines of ships, means, that the hull of the vessel narrows the higher up from the waterline you get. It was in fashion for a while in warship construction and appears to make a comeback with some navies, but in general, warship design moved on from that practice (although some argue, that a 'small amount of tumblehome' is still usual in ship design). This construction method allows for a higher freeboard, meaning more distance between the upper deck the waterline, as well as greater characteristics at long-distance journeys by increasing the stability. It also allows for better passages through canals and other waterways.
The vessel is powered by four diesel generators in a scheme known as Integrated Electric Propulsion, IEP for short. This allows for these generators to provide all the power needed aboard, saving space and maintenance costs and allowing for some neat tricks in the construction. Two exhaust pipes funnel the diesel fumes out after filtering out the majority of the pollutants. We recommend swapping the filters once every two years.
One of the neat tricks mentioned is the actual propulsion, arranged by two azimuth thruster pods beneath the stern, which, due to being trainable, eliminate the need for a rudder and allow for easier docking of the vessel, together with a bow thruster. The electrical engines in the pods are easily removed and replaced in case of damages.
With this, the Bourno-class Yacht can attain a maximum speed of 34 knots (or 62.9 kilometers per hour) and is rated for a cruise speed of 16 knots (or 29.6 knots). The vessel, when cruising at this speed, has a range of 8,000 nautical miles or 14,816 kilometers.
Aftwards, the Bourno-class Yacht is equipped with a well deck, which allows the easy and speedy deployment and recovery of smaller boats, in this case with space for up to ten small boats, around the size of the Majestic-class Boat, and one Mini-Submersible. In total, the well deck measures 90 metres in length and 25 metres in width and can be flooded to a depth of 2.9 metres.
In order to defend itself and VIP-Passengers aboard, the Bourno-class Yacht is equipped with an advanced missile defense system, namely a series of Radar Warning Receivers and a Multi-Ammunition Softkill System, which analyzes the data received by the RWRs and calibrates decoys to the right frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum to confuse the incoming missiles into missing the vessel. For a more hands-on approach to defending the vessel, the Bourno-class Yacht has three armouries scattered over the vessel, accessible via fingerprint or retina scanners or both, depending on the customer's wishes. While SDY provides the shelves and lockers, the weaponry itself must be acquired by the customer.
Should it still be necessary, the Bourno-class Yacht has swimming vests and lifeboats for over three hundred people.

The Bourno-class Yacht has a total of sixteen double-bed guest suites, fourteen double-bed guest cabins and twelve single-bed guest cabins, for 72 passengers in total, on the Cabin Deck. In addition to that, the owner has his own suite on the Bridge Deck. The guest cabins come with a small bathroom attached, the guest suites consist of three rooms including a bathroom.
The Owner's Suite consists of one sitting room in the center, a balcony overlooking the aft of the yacht behind that. From the sitting room, one can easily go into a study, a small library adjacent to that, a large bathroom, as well as two large bedrooms.
The entire interior of the vessel can be fitted out as the customer wishes, from modern art styles to classics like Art Deco to more traditional furnishings like the Kyrenaian Interior Design. The choices are completely up to the future owner and already included into the price.
The Crew, 98 ship's Crew and up to 150 people staff, is housed on Deck 5, the Crew Deck. Facilities like the onboard infirmary and the server room for the Onboard Entertainment Network are found on that deck as well.
The Promenade Deck is the place, where most of the life aboard will happen, as on this deck, the majority of the onboard facilities can be found: The Hall, which can be used as an extra-large dining room, the onboard 100-seat cinema, which can also be used as a theatre, the pool at the aft of the vessel, several salons and rooms for specialized services (for example for a massage salon) and a small bath house.
At the bow, the vessel has a small helicopter landing pad, but no other dedicated facilities to handle helicopters.

History
The Bourno-class Yacht began it's life as a design study of SDY, exploring the capabilities and possible uses of tumblehome-hulls. As the results were described as 'lackluster' and 'bloody expensive to build and maintain' and 'has the reserve bouyancy of a brick', the hull form was not further pursued as the developments of the Aiteal-class Oceanographic Research Vessel (which ended up as a SWATH-Hull) and the Scoth-class Corvette (which ended up as a conventional monohull) continued.
However, the hull form, as those tests pointed out, had a few distinctive advantages: It was more stable due to the centre of mass being close to the waterline. This stability also also strengthened the hull.
The hull form was shelved, as it was not seen as a suitable form for warships designed by SDY.
However, the idea did not leave the heads, as tumblehome could be used to advantage outside of military applications – a stable working platform was, after all, a stable working platform, which could be used for a variety of purposes. Also, a stable vessel was much more enjoyable to cruise on then one rolling pitching all over the place.
Years passed and the shelved idea was brought forth every now and again, but only in a few cases honestly considered.
Then Miss Leia Leour of Willitya came forth, requesting a proposal to have a yacht built for her. Her request almost begged for experimenting and SDY was happy to oblige. After some consideration and a number of delays, SDY settled on a tumblehome hull design, the first put into service by us.
At a length of 220 metres, the Bourno-class Yacht will be one of the largest motor yachts in the world.

The Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel is a medium-sized liveaboard vessel, basically a larger and heavier yacht, developed by Silverport Dockyards Limited for the use by private persons for habitation on the seas, by the shores, in harbours and on large lakes.

The term tolg describes a piece of furniture in the form of a bench, with armrests and upholstering, often fitted with springs or cushions.

Design
The Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel is a 840 tons heavy, 66 metres long and 11 metres wide monohull design, having a draught of three metres. The superstructure is built of lightweight steel, the hull of regular steel.
A total of four decks are available, the bottom being dedicated to storages for diesel and fresh water.
One deck is the uppermost deck of the hull, the Machine Deck, where all of the internal workings from power generation to water purification take place. Additionally, the electrical engine driving the singular propeller is located here, as are storage rooms – basically, the Machine Deck is the basement of the house. Two hydraulic, retractable ramps, one on port and one on starboard, lead into the main storage room, which can also be used as a garage for up to four motor cars the size of the HMW SW-159 (a sports car measuring 4.85 metres by 1.86 metres, so calculate 5 by 2 metres with safety clearances).
The superstructure protrudes over the Promenade Deck in three storeys. It covers an area of 40 by 8 metres, leaving the bow and a large platform aft free. This deck house is one and a half storeys high, with the half-deck having an additional deck above it housing the bridge and the exhaust.
The internal makeup of the Superstructure is, if wished, up to the customer, but we worked out a standard design for a habitation by a total of five people (Father, Mother, three children):

Most of the house's life takes place on the Promenade Deck, any guest and inhabitant enter through this, provided they don't enter by car. While we recommend keeping the bow area free, the aft area can be used for a variety of purposes, including as a play area. A ladder leads down into the water for the times one wants to take a dip, while the lifeboat is located aft as well, on davits. Another set of davits can be used to lower and lift a pinnace or launch with a maximum length of ten metres in and out of the water. Internally, the area is divided into a large bathroom, including a bath, a sitting room, a laundry room, a relatively large kitchen with attached dining room, as well as three studies. A hallway connects them along the centreline. A walkway leads along the outside.
The Masters' Deck is divided into two main parts, the internal structure and the external structure. The internal structure houses the bedrooms, the Master Bedroom as well as three smaller bedrooms for children and/or guests, as well as a smaller bathroom. The outer structure is aft of the bridge, a sort-of balcony, which can be used as an outdoor dining area, for flowers, sunbathing, relaxing, for a lot of activities.
Above that, the Bridge Deck is located, from where the entire vessel can be controlled. On the Bridge Deck's roof, the small navigation and surface search radars can be found.
An internal staircase, two outside staircases and an elevator for up to four people connect the Promenade Deck, the Masters' Deck and the Bridge Deck.
The rooms used for living are panelled with artificial wood and floored with artificial parquet, either material being flame-retardant. Furniture and carpets have to be bought by the customer.

Of course, the internal division of the Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel can be established at will by the customer, the above being merely an option.

Main power, especially for the engines, is provided by one 5,000 kW Diesel Generator, similar to the ones used aboard the Port Hackburry-class Fleet Oilers. The engines are relatively easy to maintain, providing power to the Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel and especially for the engines. For daily living, however, that generator is not needed, as the Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel is equipped with a far smaller diesel generator for onboard power generation, providing up to 100 kW/h per day (the average consumption of a four-person-household in an industrialized country is 20 kW/h per day) of power. In addition to that, the Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel is equipped with enough solar cells to provide a similar amount of power under ideal circumstances, a total of 49 square metres of the sun deck. Furthermore, the Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel can be hooked up to the local power system.
The diesel generators rest on shock absorbers, reducing the shocks of the engine to a bare minimum, thus reducing noise pollution to a bare minimum.
The Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel comes equipped with a small water treatment plant, capable of producing 1,400 litres of water per day, more then enough for a household of seven people on average. To heat it up when necessary, the Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel is equipped with an electric water heater. The water can be used to cook, wash, drink and other things.
The Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel has two computer networks, one of the ship's systems, which is isolated from the Onboard Entertainment Network, the latter of which provides a local area network, including via WLAN, telephone, television (including via satellite) and an internal server with a hard drive capacity of ten terabyte in addition to its state-of-the-art processing systems.

History
Originally, the Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel was planned as a yacht designed for luxurious living, but as the Cineál-class and O'Ryan-class Yachts took shape, the Tolg-class Liveaboard Vessel changed focus: A luxury yacht became more and more of a swimming family home.
Living aboard ships has a certain tradition among the Selkie, especially among the Travelling People, and thus, a certain experience could be relied upon – however, that experience soon proofed to be more theoretical then practical as the vessels built for and maintained by the Travelling People were and are considerably smaller (the average is around 12 metres in length). So, it became clearer, that the swimming family home would be rather luxurious.
Soon, the first orders came in, most famously by Eithne Banphrionsa of the Tribe of Monaghan, who ordered a mobile dorm for Bicíní Industries and its more personnel intensive projects. The Foreign Office also ordered one of these vessel as a mobile embassy for the Ambassador Groups, the vessel, SDFAS Seanbhoc, following an entirely different internal layout as the standard described above.

Notes: Modular

The Novel-class Mobile City Ship is a swimming and mobile city quarter, designed by SDY in response to a Request for Prototype Development by the Khaos Konfederacy of Rexzich City. The modular vessel is constructed to provide a maritime housing unit for up to 6,500 people, depending on configuration.

The name fits as well as the design in a completely novel experience for SDY.

Design
The Novel-class Mobile City Ship is a 270.9 metres long and 66.1 metres wide vessel with a draught of 10.9 metres at maximum load, which displaces 26,000 tons without cargo, fuel, water, ballast, stores and so on (a.k.a. light displacement) as well as without the modules.
The Novel-class Mobile City Ship is constructed to have 20 decks, 15 of which are supposed to be accessible to passengers, with the remaining five accessible to the ship's crew of 250 officers and men, as well as the city ship crew of 500 to 800 officers and men, depending on the configuration.
The Novel-class Mobile City Ship is powered by diesel generators and solar cells, which provide a total of 9.5 million kilowatt hours per year, sufficient to supply around 8,000 people on dry shore and then some. This energy can also be used to power the engines, two azimuth thruster pods underneath the stern, which allow the Novel-class Mobile City Ship can attain a maximum speed of 16 knots or 29.6 km/h. However, the cruising speed of the Novel-class Mobile City Ship is substantially lower, at around 9 knots (or 16.7 km/h).
In standard configuration, the Novel-class Mobile City Ship has life boats and life rafts of 8,000 people, more then enough for both crew and inhabitants.

Of the 20 decks, 15 are accessible to passengers and habitants, with the remaining five decks being mostly technical decks, housing water purification plants, garbage disposal units and similar city services.
The remaining municipal services are strewn all over the vessel, for example the hospital with 150 beds and an intensive care unit of 25 beds, as well as two operating theatres and a dentist's office being is installed on Deck 8, in the hull. The City's Library is on Deck 9, including two printing houses for the onboard newspaper and other printed matters. A small prison for 50 inmates is located on Deck 6, as part of the police station.
Other municipal services, like firefighting, are provided externally, for example firefighting capabilities are provided by external fire boats, SDY offering two Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fire Boats as part of the delivery, and internally by the internal fire suppression system.
Other municipal services yet again are housed in the modules, for example the schools.
Deck 10 is the Promenade Deck, the last deck of the hull and the well-suited for scenic walks.

The aft 70 metres of the hull are dominated by the cargo handling facilities, four Pattern 906 Cargo Lighters being part of the delivery. These lighters can be stored in a 20 metre long, 15 metre wide and 15 metre high well deck aft, which includes the capability to maintain said lighters and to store multiple lighters on davits. Said lighters can also be used as 'buses' to bring inhabitants onto shore and back home in a shuttle service. However, this well deck can not be used for cargo handling, this is reserved to the four cranes aft.
These cranes, similar to the ones used on the Pattern 913 Swimming Crane, can lift up to 150 tons of weight, more then enough for any cargo lighter, that might need to be unloaded. The cargo is then moved into a freight terminal, from where a system of lifts and rails moves them into the belly of the vessel for further processing.
By the bow, a small, empty space is provided, large enough to serve in multiple functions, from assemblies to games to being a helicopter flight deck, if need should arise. However, if the latter option is chosen, one should be aware of no other facilities for handling helicopters, or aircraft in general, being present.
The Sun Deck, the uppermost deck, is two hundred meters long and sixty wide, only broken by the two funnels. Solar cells, aiding in power generation, cover around half of the space available, as well as the funnels. Between the funnels, around a hundred meters in length and fifty-eight meters wide, a small city park can be established, with plants and free spaces and so on.

Modules
Core of the capabilities of the Novel-class Mobile City Ship is the modular architecture.
The Superstructure is, from the Promenade Deck to the Sun Deck, essentially framework running along the 190 meters long Central Mall, which stretches from funnel to funnel, small plaza surrounding them, then running further to the bow and aft.
This framework, spanning twelve decks in height, allows for the installation of modules for habitation and city works. They are slotted in from the sides, which can be achieved by every larger dockside crane, we recommend cranes with a lifting capacity of at least 100 tons, ideally 150 tons. The modules are three decks high and usually twenty meters long. A total of 72 modules can be installed. Each module is twenty meter long, 28 meters wide and three decks, or seven meters, tall.
SDY's subsidiary Úrcéal Athrú Factories, with seat in Ironcastle, produces a range of modules, which can be bought separately:

The Small Flat Module is a module for 90 inhabitants in 15 flats with six inhabitants. With five flats per deck, all of them with a balcony, the space is very limited, each flat being only four meters by 25 meters. A three meter wide hallway connects the front doors with the outside world, a staircase allowing for going upstairs and downstairs. The flats themselves are arranged along a one meter wide hallway, which ends in a common room of four by three meters. Each room, three by three meters wide, serves as rooms for sleeping and little more – with the exception of the last room, which is a small bathroom.
The Medium Flat Module, also known as the Family Flat Module, is a module for 45 inhabitants in nine flats, five inhabitants per flat. Three flats per deck allow for much larger flats, each 6.5 by 25 meters. Each flat, again, has a balcony. A one meter wide hallway connects the rooms, ending in a common room. In total, the Medium Flat Module has a common room, a master bedroom, three children bedrooms, a bath, a kitchen and a small storage room.
The Apartment Module offers the largest habitation option, three apartments on as many decks, upper class living in a total of ten rooms, a large entrance hall being included. Two bathrooms and a larger kitchen speak of luxurious habitation.
The Restaurant Block is the eating option for the majority of people, who do not wish to cook themselves. Taking up the entire space of the module, the lowest floor is reserved for storage rooms, the kitchen and other premises, while the other two floors, accessible via a short lift, two stairwells and three ramps, serve as the customer space. Apart from a restaurant configuration, the module can also be used as a cafeteria space.
For educational purposes, the School Block serves as a small school for children aboard. On the module's three decks, a teacher's lounge, a storage room and a toilet can be found on the lowest, while six class rooms for up to thirty students each (discussions about ideal class size depend on the educational system in question) can be found on the two decks above. Stairwells connect the three decks. The individual equipment of the class rooms is up to the customer.
A Park Block is a small city park spanning all three decks, which we recommend to install above each other as these blocks can be connected upwards to establish a larger park for the wellbeing of the passengers. While trees can not be housed there, the flower beds can house a vast array of plants. Environmental controls ensure, that the temperature and humidity are always right, while a gardener's home on the ground floor with an attached tool shed allows for the gardener to live where he works. The landscaping is left to the customer.

If all ninety modules are modules are Small Flat Modules, the Novel-class Mobile City Ship can house 6,480 passengers and inhabitants. SDY does not take responsibility for damages or losses of lives, material and vessels due to mishandling of the modules.

History
Living on the water is a concept as old as seafaring, its forms and executions usually only allowing for small numbers of people living on small vessels, either permanently or for relatively short periods of time, always depending on the land to be nearby for one reason or the other.
However, the Novel-class Mobile City Ship is something new, allowing for a real city to swim and, if need should arise, to sail elsewhere.
When the Khaos Konfederacy of Rexzich City proposed this vessel, or rather asked SDY for a proposal, we were stunned. With little idea about what a city needed, the shipyard contacted the mayor's office of Silverport for pointers and experts, soon leading to the foundation of the Úrcéal Athrú Factories, the subsidiary building the modules.
The basic premise was working from a cruise liner hull, gutting it and reworking the interior and the superstructure completely, a process, which took less time then initially believed. However, a number of factors soon became apparent: Transport to and from shore, fire suppression and firefighting (which, together with corresponding requests from several harbour cities in the Free Lands and abroad, led to a speed-up in the construction of the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat), medical support and police work, schooling, freshwater and so on... the list is long.
However, with the support of the Mayoral Office of Silverport and its city planners, SDY's engineers soon began to get a hang of it and the list of what was needed soon became clearer. With further communication with the client making things clear as mud, the Novel-class Mobile City Ship began to take more and more shape, what was going into the hull and what into the aft section – and in October 2019, SDY laid down the first vessel.
In lieu with the Novel-class Mobile City Ship, SDY also sped up the development of the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat, the external firefighting unit.

The Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat, also known as the Pattern 907 Fireboat, is a vessel of the Harbour Helpers Line, SDY's line of products for harbours and ports as aides in daily life – not the most glorious of jobs and vessels, but all the more necessary.
Despite being specialized in combating fires on other vessels, the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat is also usable for extinguishing fires on the harbour front and as a first responder in other emergency situations.

The term inneall dóiteáin means fire engine, as in a vehicle used in firefighting.

Design
The Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat is a 500 tons heavy, 45 meters long and 12 meters wide flat-bottom vessel, which makes it very stable in calm and shallow waters, like rivers, lakes and especially harbours. This specific method of construction allows for a very shallow draft, 1.5 meters under full load, as the vessel is travelling on the water, not through it. However, this has the disadvantage of becoming very unstable in choppier or deeper waters.
The Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat is crewed by five to seven firefighters, plus up to seven additional personnel, for example medical personnel. It can take aboard up to twenty people on the aft deck, but has only space for six stretchers in the deck house.

The vessel can attain a maximum speed of 18 knots or 33.3 km/h.
Two water jets aft provide forward and side propulsion. These jets, positioned at the aft, are axial-flow pumps, which are effective at low and medium speeds, and come equipped with reversing buckets, which allow for easy breaking and slowing down, as well as with a steerable nozzle – this allows for vectored thrust, which makes these vessels highly manoeuvrable. A bow and a stern thruster add to that manoeuvrability.
Power is supplied in a scheme known as Integrated Electric Propulsion, in short IEP, by two 4,000 kW Diesel Generators, the same as used on the Spéirling-class Fast Attack Craft. These 8,000 kilowatts not only power the water jets, but also every other systems aboard, down to the coffee maker on the bridge.
This arrangement is cheap to maintain and operate, as it eliminates the need for gearboxes and similar apparatuses.
The Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat is equipped with a small navigational radar above the bridge.

The Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat is 'armed' with nine monitors for hosing the fire down, which are fed by four pumps with a capability of pumping 2.4 million litres of water per hour out of the harbour. The full power can only be unleashed at stand-still. In that sense, and with the four connectors to the system and the hoses stored aboard, the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat can act as a swimming fire hydrant.
All nine monitors can blend fire foam into the water sent away, with tanks aboard storing 10,000 litres of fire foam aboard. These tanks can easily be refilled, the pump connected to it being capable of sucking a tank truck dry within minutes, said tank truck standing in the pier next to the vessel.
The most powerful monitor is the bow-mounted deluge gun, a Gabha G-820 Deluge Gun with a maximum throughput of 30,000 litres per minute and a maximum range of 150 meters. Firefighting foam can be mixed into the stream at the tap of a button.
Six monitors are smaller Gabha G-815 Water Cannons, with three each mounted on port and starboard, with a throughput of 1,200 litres of water per minute. They are similar to the ones used aboard the Corrán-class Offshore Patrol Vessel. They, too, can spray foam in addition to simple water. These are the main armament, the bow-mounted deluge gun being for heavy incidents.
For smaller fires or for support to the larger water cannons, the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat is equipped with two Gabha G-816 Water Guns with a throughput of 600 litres per minute each. Both are mounted on the roof above the bridge.
If using all monitors at maximum throughput, the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat can throw 38,400 litres of water and fire foam at a fire. The pumps aboard have a maximum delivery rate of 2.4 million litres of water per hour or 40,000 litres per minute.
All monitors can be controlled either at the monitor itself or remote controlled in a similar manner to a remote weapons station.
In order to enable the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat to combat fires involving chemical, biological and nuclear incidents, the vessel is completely NBC-protected.

In the superstructure, the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat is equipped with a small crew lounge, store rooms for firefighting and medical equipment, a small bathroom and a small kitchen, as well as the sleeping room.
Fifteen capsules enable the crew to stay aboard for longer periods of time if needed. Inspired by capsule hotels, this cheap and small berthing arrangement provides a maximum amount of comfortable accommodations for the crew, including privacy by curtain. The capsules, modular and relocatable fibreglass blocks, measure 2.5 metres in length, 1.25 metres in width and 1.5 metres in height, with a mattress of 2.25 metres in length and 1 metre in width being provided. A closable cupboard running along the side of the capsule provides storage space for the inhabitant's belongings, while a locker is outside for larger stuff. A foldout panel by the entrance to the capsule is usable as a working surface.

Aft of the main superstructure, the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat has a large aft deck. A small crane, with a lifting capacity of fifteen tons, allows for picking stuff up and putting it down, which includes the small motor dinghy, which can also be pushed into the water aft of the vessel. While this dinghy can not be used for firefighting (or rather, is not supposed to be used in firefighting), it is a valuable asset in the rescue of people in distress.
Without the dinghy, the aft deck can accommodate up to twenty people and has space for six stretchers, although the space is rather limited.

It seems paradoxical, that one of the greatest dangers to shipping in our world is fire – but this danger is as real as the ships it happens on. So, firefighting in harbours is especially important.
The first fireboats in the Free Lands date back to the early 20th century, small, steam-powered ships with steam-powered pumps, their greatest exploits being the aid they rendered in the Great Harbour Fire of Wembury in 1910 and extinguishing of the Citadel Fire of Teanga of 1918. Under control of the Water Polices, these vessels were distributed to maximum effect and provided aid in countless incidents both big and small.
By the Fifties, these vessels were replaced by newer boats, but nowadays, they are getting on with the years. Despite the abilities of the Corrán-class Offshore Patrol Vessel in firefighting, it is not a dedicated fireboat, something, which the Water Polices insisted on possessing.
The development puttered along for a decade, until SDY was contracted to built the Novel-class Mobile City Ships, the Inneall Dóiteáin-class Fireboat becoming an integral part in the firefighting and fire prevention aboard. Plus, pressure from the Water Polices increased.
In November of 2019, the first vessel went down the slipway in Tipa. It is expected to be commissioned in March 2020 under the name Marla, after the protagonist of the TV-Show of the same name.

The Type 806-M River Gunboat is the reply of Bád Industries for an unofficial request for proposals by the Armed Forces of the Polish-Prussian Commonwealth. It is a small gunboat specialized in riverine operations.

The Type 806-M River Gunboat is fully airmobile, can be transported on the back of a truck or aboard another ship.

Design
The Type 806-M River Gunboat is a modified Type 806 River Yacht, a small pleasure cruiser designed for private persons. The vessel is built of fibreglass with a light ceramic armour to resist small arms fire and features a fully enclosed superstructure.
Said superstructure is fully air conditioned and NBC-proofed.
Likewise, all functions of the vessel can be handled from the bridge: The heavy remote weapons station at the bow, the mortar turret aft and the engines, two waterjets with reverse buckets and the diesel generator, which produces enough power for the onboard electronics, including the small navigation radar.

The Type 806-M River Gunboat is armed with a medium remote weapons station, which can be equipped with a variety of autocannons and heavy machine gun turrets, as well as a mortar turret aft.
The Type 59 Automatic Mortar Turret is a self-loading single barrel mortar system utilizing a modified Mortar, Heavy, Model 2020, an 120 mm mortar in service with the SDF since 2020. The mortars were converted to breech-loading and the barrel extended. The turret has the full 360 degrees of fire and can deliver a rate of fire of 12 rounds per minute or a salvo of up to ten grenades hitting the target simultaneously. The fire control computer uses advanced GPS and inertia positioning techniques allow the Type 59 to shoot mortar bombs exactly where they are indicated to go.
Generally, the Mortar is compatible with any 120mm mortar ammunition, provided it is modified for use with breech-loading mortars.

Crew accommodations
The Type 806-M River Gunboat is not built for longer crew stays. Of course, a crew can unroll their sleeping bags on the deck and stay overnight, but it is highly recommended to have shore accommodations or an accommodations vessel at the ready.
While a special storage on board can be used to store first aid kits and medicine, the Type 806-M River Gunboat is far from having an onboard sickbay.

History
The Type 806-M River Gunboat began its life as the Type 806 River Yacht, a small pleasure vessel designed in 2000. It neither featured an enclosed superstructure nor any weapons, but was primarily designed as a leisure boat to take out on a river or lake or maybe even close to shore to fish, to swim, to generally have fun.
In 2005, the SDF-Army first inquired about a possible refitting of a few of these vessels as military riverine patrol craft, but the discussions went nowhere. In the meantime, the SDF struggled with its budgets and, after the Battle of Marley Bay in 2013, had different issues to solve altogether. So, the Type 806 remained a river yacht.
In 2021, the idea was revived as a stopgap measure for the Navy of the Polish-Prussian Commonwealth, which needed a riverine patrol boat reasonably quickly. The adaptations were made quickly and swiftly and only a few weeks after the first request, the prototype could be launched.

The Executive-class Government Transport is the result of a request for proposals by the Republic of Mirum, requesting an armoured government transport. After a few weeks of discussing the original request, SDY began the engineering work, the first vessel being laid down soon after.

Design
The Executive-class Government Transport is a vessel with a standard displacement of 13,000 tons with a length of 195.1 meters, a beam of 23.2 meters and a draught of 7.1 meters. The hull is a sleek and elegant cruiser hull with a sharp clipper bow.
The vessel is powered by four diesel generators, which produce a maximum total of 100 MW of electricity, which is used to power everything aboard, from the radars to the engines. The generators themselves are situated on shock absorbers to reduce the noise and housed in three different engine rooms distributed over the as redundancy. In cases of emergency, or when a more economic cruise speed is desired, two of these generators can be completely shut off, too.
The Executive-class Government Transport can move at a maximum speed of 35 knots (or 64.8 kilometres per hour) or achieve a total range of 7,500 nautical miles (or 13,890 kilometres) at a cruise speed of 16 knots (or 29.6 kilometres per hour). This is arranged by two azimuth thruster pods with controllable pitch propellers (which save on power) and bow thrusters, all of which gives the Executive-class Government Transport a remarkably tight turning circle.
The Executive-class Government Transport requires a ship's crew of one hundred officers and men, plus a complement of 46 stewardesses and stewards, and has space for an additional guard complement of 40 officers and men with a reasonably large armoury.
The Executive-class Government Transport receives its information via a multi-function Air/Surface Surveillance Radar, Weather Sensors and a dedicated Navigation Radar. To communicate with the outside world, the Executive-class Government Transport features two separate satellite uplinks, which can be encrypted and secured to the owner's heart's content.
For transportation, the Executive-class Government Transport has a helicopter landing pad aft and a hangar for medium-sized helicopters, as well as a pair of dinghies (included in the delivery).
The Executive-class Government Transport has a sufficient number of lifeboats, both fixed and collapsible, as well as several rescue pods, for 300 people, not counting in the dinghies. Should the ship not sink in an emergency, the Executive-class Government Transport is equipped with a full hospital including a dentists office and an intensive care unit with two beds.

Amenities
Almost the entire superstructure is reserved for the passengers and their guests, the only notable exceptions being the bridge and the aviation facilities. This encompasses a total of five decks, starting with the promenade deck with its ball room, meeting rooms, lounge area and lecture hall, which can double as a theatre for both live performances and movies.
Above the promenade deck is the Passenger Deck A with the bedrooms for the support staff and eventual guests, as well as a VR Experience Room, which can be converted to a variety of entertainment and educational purposes, including, but not limited to, a driving simulator.
Passenger Deck B features more quarters, including four small suites for higher-ranking support staff, and the pool area. The pool area is one of the marvels of the Executive-class Government Transport, featuring a large pool over the helicopter hangar, which is partially enclosed, plus an outdoor seating area at its sides and, on the inside, both a separate hot tub and a sauna area for up to ten people. Changing rooms and deck chair areas invite to relax and rest.
The Owner's Deck is right at the top, sharing the uppermost deck of the Superstructure with the Bridge and a lounge, which can easily be converted into an emergency command centre (or be built as such), is the Owner's Suite. A total of eight rooms, including a large bedroom, an office, a meeting room and a bathroom, are at the owner's disposal. A balcony looks out over the stern and is connected to the pool area by a staircase.
The fifth deck is the Sun Deck on top of the vessel, ideal for outdoor parties or relaxing in the sun.

The interior design is up to the customer and, unless it is too excessive, does not cause any additional costs. In cases of emergencies, the Executive-class Government Transport can be equipped and used as an auxiliary hospital vessel.

Crew accommodations
The total crew of 186 officers and men is accommodated in the hull on the two decks above the waterline with each of them having a small cabin with a small toilet, while the showers are communal. The shower area also features a sauna for up to twenty people and a small indoor pool.
Two lounges with attached libraries and a video game room allow for relaxation and rest while off duty.
The Captain has a larger quarter then the normal crew, also featuring an office. The onboard medical officer has similarly large quarters.

Armour and Armament
The Executive-class Government Transport is not unarmoured or unarmed.
Located at the bow and aft above the helicopter hangar, as well as one at each flank, are a total of four concealable positions for close-in weapons systems – SDY would equip them with the Ceantar C-84 Mark II 30mm CIWS, however, upon request, the positions can be left empty with no additional fee. Additionally, located along the superstructure, are a total of six balconies, which can serve either as viewing platforms or as positions for heavy weapons teams.
The CIWS is the last resort, however. The Executive-class Government Transport is equipped with launchers for flares and chaff as well as a Multi-Ammunition Softkill System, which should ensure a thorough missile defense. Electronic countermeasures ensure, that the enemy might not even be able to lock onto the Executive-class Government Transport.
And should all of that not help, the Executive-class Government Transport is armoured in a way, that is comparable to a light cruiser, with a belt armour of 76 to 130 millimetres, an armoured deck of 90 millimetres and bulkheads of 50 mm thickness. The original idea of using titanium as primary material was abandoned in review of the costs, the idea of using a titanium alloy was abandoned in favour of using normal steel – with a coating of stainless steel to prevent corrosion.
The superstructure is armoured in a similar arrangement, though only 50 millimetres thick. The windows and portholes are bulletproof.

History
The Executive-class Government Transport began its life on the drawing board as a Fast Cruise Liner, based on a cruiser hull. The project, taken over from the Caillte Maritime Solutions Engineering Office, was shelved in the 1990s and spent the 2000s catching dust.
In 2016, Gwen Cathlong pulled the design studies out of the shelves and adapted them as a fast luxury yacht, but in early 2017, the design was shelved again, not only due to a lack of potential customers, but also due to Yard 15 being occupied with other design work and commissions.
In 2021, the Republic of Mirum ordered a request for proposals for a Executive-class Government Transport, somebody remembering the old design and finishing it to the new specifications. As SDY left the interior design to the customer, it turned into an interesting combination of modern design elements with traditional architectural elements, such as a vaulted ballroom ceiling, in mind.
