OOC:: This is my first ship, so please be nice :)

The Type 25 Medium cruiser "Starlight" was designed to replace the Royal Navies aging type 22 frigate as a primary anti surface vessel. First off;
Armament:
The Type 25 is equipped with a Seawolf anti-air and anti-missile Point Defence Vertical Launch System for use against low flying aircraft and missiles. The VLS is guided by its tracking radar on top of the middle block. The Type 25 also features two Vickers 114MM, or 4.5" cannon which can fire at a rate of 25 rounds per minute up to a maximum range of 12 miles, being used primarily for shore bombardment and anti-surface combat. At the fore, the Type 25 cruiser boasts a 10" cannon that can fire up to 12 rounds per minute at a range of 18 miles and used for shore bombardment and anti-surface roles. On the right hand block there is a Harpoon anti ship missile. There are two systems next to each other, each housing six missiles that can fire to a range of 92KM.
The ops room is located also two decks below the middle block - housing all the control systems for the ship, and in time of action its captain. However, a second ops room can be located on the top - left hand block. This is where, traditionally Royal Navy captains preside over whats happening.
As a anti-submarine and to some extent, anti-surface, the Type 25 can hold one Navy Lynx Mark 8 in its hangar behind the fore gun.
The Type 25 Medium Cruiser has a larger displacement of around 5000 tonnes , 700 more tonnes than the Type 23, the mainstay of the Hogsweatian Royal Navy.
It is powered by a Tunstill Mk4 Diesel Electric Naval Engine making 1.6 MW of power providing a maximum speed of 14 knots per hour - the secondary combined engin, Tunstill Mk2 Gas Powered Naval Engine provides 10 knots per hour making around 10 MW of power.
(OOC:: I salvaged and modified from royal navy website for engine. I do NOT understand it, so if someone can help sort it out i would be glad.
The Type 918 AIr Surveillance radar is located at the top of the mast and helps detect incoming aircraft. There is also a Type 919 Sonar located at the front of the ship to detect approaching submarines.
It has a complement of around 185, not including the lynx pilots. The ship is going through rigorous testing before being let onto the market.
Thanks to Praetonia for helping me sort some of this out. My first ship, so criticism please be constructive
