[OOC: This is an R&D thread as well as being secret IC. OOC help is requested and strongly encouraged. Note: When I say "pocket Doujin, I make no illusions that this ship would or could adequately take on a Doujin. I'd like it to be able to, but this is my first Trimarian design so I admit I have no idea what I'm doing with it.]
Navy Chief John Newman huddled with ship designers from all over Sarzonia. The task before them was daunting. They were attempting to design and build a trimarian-hulled battleship, which Sarzonia had never attempted before. The Sarzonian-designed ships in the navy performed well, but they were all mono-hulled. Sarzonia had left the bulk of its limited Trimarian holdings to the designs and construction of other countries.
"What have you got so far?" Newman asked.
"Here are our first mockups," designer Josh Humphreys said.
"Let me see," Newman said. He looked over the design.
The Isselmere-class trimarian battleship
(nicknamed “pocket Doujin")
Length: 997 meters
Width: 346 meters
Draught: 39 meters
Complement: 1,530
Armament: 9 X 30 inch guns in three triple turrets (2 fore, 1 aft); 1 203 mm railgun (aft); 20 5 inch guns (10 port, 10 starboard) in five double turrets
6 80 cell VLS systems (bow, amidships, stern); 10 CIWS systems (four port; four starboard; one each fore and aft); 2 depth charge launchers; four torpedo launchers
Propulsion: Four nuclear reactors
Speed: 30 knots
