This will be mostly a reference post for anyone who RPs with me if I plan to use this country. Right now, I'm putting up the class names, what the class is based on, and the changes I intend to implement to make these designs original designs. If the Holy Pawn Navy plans to offer any ships for sale, democratic governments will not be permitted to purchase them.

[i]Dreadlord-class aircraft carriers Based on the Future Aircraft Carrier to be implemented in the Royal Navy. The Dreadlord will be extended to house additional aircraft since they will be the flagships of the Holy Pawn Fleets. There may be other changes as well, but the chief changes will be to make it a light fleet carrier.

Invincible-class missile cruisers The Russian Kirov-class will be used as the inspiration behind this vessel. There are a number of storefronts that use the Kirov as inspiration, but one difference in this ship will be stronger armor. I may also increase the gun sizes and provide larger guns for its ASuW role.

Dominant-class AA destroyers Based largely on the Type 45 Daring, but I may also use the Arleigh Burke for some inspiration. These will be intended to carry large AA armaments and may have some ASuW weaponry, but their primary role will be to serve as escorts for battle groups.

Viceroy-class ASW frigates Mostly based on the Belgian Wieliengen-class frigates. I increased its emphasis on ASW warfare since the Belgian ship looks like a multi-role frigate.

Devastation-class diesel-electric attack submarines Due to a poor economy (My game rating is Thriving, but I'm going to RP as somewhere in the Developing range until Uve_Been_Pwned gets some trade going), nuclear reactors were deemed to be too expensive. The RL design being used for this will be the German Type 214. The 212 might also get a serious look.

This does not include the Ynoga-class aircraft carriers purchased from Layarteb, but those will be used to command light amphibious assaults.

If you want, this is the specifications for the Ynoga Class you bought from me.

OOC: Thanks Layarteb. I might increase the fighter complement for use in my navy, but that's just a doctrine issue rather than a complaint about the design.

*Note: I'm designing a SSB/SSG (conventionally powered submarines that can fire ballistic or cruise missiles). I might be using the German Type 212 for some inspiration there too since I don't know of any recently-built diesel-electric powered subs carrying those weapons.*

The German U-214 is even better it has a AIP fuel-cell propulsion. I use that for my Shield Class. My Crow Class SSBN has the capability of SBLM or SLCM :).

I based the propulsion on the Type 214 and used the Triomphant SSBN as the basis for the hull description. As far as the materials in the hull itself are concerned, it's based on information I got when I was looking up material to strengthen a submarine's hull, so a lot of thinking went into this design.
