For a long time now the Imperial Navy has let the world believe that its Gehenna class SDs were based off of the Flight I Doujin class ships. This, as we have recently learned, is not the case. In probably one of the greatest counter-intel ops in the world, the IN has pulled the perverbial wool over the world's eyes, which is no mean feat considering that Gehenna class ships have deployed to combat situations before. Now, at long last, the IN has come forward and released the official and (hopefully) real statistics of the Imperium's largest class of warship.
