DDG-19 Tiger Shark-class Guided Missile Destroyer

The Tiger Shark-class, constructed to meet the new demands of the Imperial Navy, features an impressive array of weapons well suited to its role: ship-to-ship combat. In addition to the excellent weapons capability, the Tiger Shark is well armored for a ship of its size; it even features an Electric Reactive Armor system for enhanced protection. On top of the armor is a layer of Wave-X RAM. This, combined with generally stealthy ship construction--avoiding cylinders, implementing a slanted superstructure, etc.--, gives the ship a smaller radar cross section. Of course, running with your radar on full power while making as much noise as possible is likely to blow your cover as a fishing boat.
Armor/Construction
Detailed attention to the armor was made to try to improve the survivability of Imperial ships, with a trade off in the cost department. Below the Wave-X layer is the armor, a 2” layer of Chobam, complete with an Electric Reactive Armor system for improved defense against higher-explosive weapons. Beneath the armor, the ship is constructed of normal steel, all of it forged, not rolled, providing superior quality.
Propulsion:
(1) Nuclear reactor
(2) Variable-pitch propellers
Max Speed: 34 knots
Armament
(2) 5 inch guns
(4) 20mm Phalanx CIWS turrets
(14) Mark-41 Vertical Launching Systems, with 112 missiles total (Tomahawk ASM/LAM, or similar)
(24) Evolved Sea Sparrow (or similar)
Electronic Systems
ARENA Mk 54 System
AEGIS PHX MOD System
AN/SPY-1D 3-D Radar
AN/SPS-67(V)3 Surface Radar
AN/SQS-53C(V) Sonar
AN/SQR-44W Side Scan Sonar
AN/USG-2(V) Cooperative Engagement Transmission Processing Set
Crew: 350
Production Cost: $1.25 billon
Sale Price: $1.5 billion
