OOC: since this is freeform rp, I am free to use that stats of a certain exnation with this one. But that won't matter anyway. If you don't like it, we'll have to agree to disagree. This doesn't apply to earth 2 of course. But it applies to earth 3. Earth 1, doesn't matter. I have no claims there.

Callisdrun
25-08-2004, 10:58
Callisdrun's naval forces are divided into squadrons by ship type/function. Abbreviations- ASW: anti-submarine-warfare, AA: anti-aircraft

Carrier squadrons usually consist of anywhere from one to four carriers which are escorted by a variety of cruisers and destroyers with emphasis on AA and ASW cruisers and destroyers. The purpose of these squadrons, obviously, is air attack.

Though divided into squadrons, the Battleships usually operate together as one fleet, and are escorted by many AA and ASW cruisers and destroyers and sometimes an escort carrier. The Battleship fleet is used both to bombard coastal fortifications and to do the heavy clobbering of enemy surface combatants.

Cruiser squadrons operate with a core of traditional cruisers with an escort of AA cruisers and ASW destroyers. Cruiser squadrons are the multi-function units of the navy, useful for small-scale shore bombardment, engagement of surface combatants, commerce raiding, commerce protection, hit and run missions and just about any other combat task not taken by Carriers or Battleships.

While termed as a cruiser squadron, "First Cruiser Squadron" actually refers to Callisdrun's squadron of Battle Cruisers. This unit operates in most of the traditional roles that a heavy cruiser squadron would, and is used when extra firepower is needed. It has several additional roles, namely, its primery mission is to destroy cruisers. It is also used to attempt to draw the enemy into a battle under unfavorable circumstances

Destroyer Squadrons usually consist mainly of ASW destroyers with a few AA destroyers in case of air attack. Destroyer squadrons are used primarily to hunt submarines, though they are occaisionally used like tiny cruiser squadrons.

Callisdrun's entire navy specializes in night fighting, and hit and run attacks are quite common.

Where do you have them based?

Where do you have them based?

Because of constant war games and training, all squadrons move around quite a lot, but some have semi-permenant homeports. The carriers are generally based in the harbor of Callisdrin (Callisdrin is also Callisdrun's capital city, it's in southern Callisdrun), because the weather in the waters off of Northern Callisdrun diminishes the usefulness of planes.

The battle fleet is based in Drun (northern Callisdrun, Callisdrun's cultural capitol) and so is First Cruiser squadron, although sometimes it alternates and uses Budapest as its base of operations.

The various cruiser squadrons are generally scattered across Callisdrun's coast, just about every port in Callisdrun (and there are many) has at least one cruiser, destroyer, or submarine squadron (though subs often operate independently) using it as a homeport.

OOC: Looks good, glad you created a reference. Just one tiny point...do you think your navy might need replenishment ships? Somewhere in the field they might just need them?

they usually tag along somewhere in the vicinity of the combat ships, and do not have their own squadrons.

Its not a good idea to put all your carriers in one place. It makes them vulnerable.

True, I just haven't included them in the total yet.
Need to include the bombs and stuff too, when I get to it.

Those are the largest docks in southern Callisdrun, and they wouldn't be much use in northern Callisdrunian waters. They're also usually at sea.

OOC: FYI, I do not use any RL ships in my fleet. most of mine were created on the springstyle program. So Iowa class BB's, Nimitz class carriers, Ticonderoga class cruisers and such are not to be found in my fleets. The newest battleships are Callismark class, the newest BC's are Valkyrie class, to give two examples.
