Jimnam-class dreadnought (BBAN)
New for May 2005, the Jimnam-class heavy battleship is the first non-exclusive RSIN trimaran design. Equipped with much of the new technology designed for the Europa-class command battleship, the Jimnam-class offers great protection against much of what today's navies might fling in one's path. It offers layered anti-air protection with a plethora of cells for GWS.67M Lanneret long-range, GWS.57M Erne medium-range, GWS.74M Grand Kestrel intermediate-range, GWS.65M Kite short-range, and GWS.66M Lark very short-range surface-to-air missiles as well as a host of 35mm gatling guns and 30mm revolving chamber cannons.
Anti-submarine measures haven't been ignored with ample space for anti-submarine helicopters, ports for GWS.63U Mako heavyweight torpedoes and tubes for GWS.64M lightweight torpedoes, as well as many GWLS.60M2 underwater warfare missile launchers that, along with the GWS.64M, will allow this ship to defend itself against torpedo attacks.
But the primary weapon of the Jimnam-class is its twelve 635mm electro-thermal chemical guns. These massive beasts may fire armour piercing or high capacity shells immense distances to slice through enemy shipping, or extended range guided munitions for attacks on either land or sea targets to either destroy single high priority targets or to blanket an area with submunitions.
With its secondary armament of 210mm rail guns and tertiary armament of 140mm dual purpose guns as well as hordes of surface-to-surface missiles and an ample air contingent, the Jimnam-class battleship more than serves its purpose as a sea dominance vessel to lead your fleets to victory.

Kinetic Energy Resistant Insulating [KERI] foam); steel alloy plating; braced spacing; ballistic fabrics (spall prevention); tempered ballistic plastic plates.
Longitudinal bulkheads: tempered ballistic plastic plates; ballistic fabrics; steel alloy plating; ballistic ceramics plates; ballistic plastic plates; KERI foam (10cm); steel alloy plating; braced spacing and titanium alloy basis with additional sheathing in key areas (barbettes, magazines, engineering spaces, command facilities); ballistic fabrics; and tempered ballistic plastic plates.
Transverse bulkheads: titanium alloy basis and hardened crossbeams; steel alloy plating and additional structural support; KERI foam in void areas; ballistic fabrics; and tempered ballistic plastic plates (sheathing).
Decks: covered in corrosion- and slip-resistant polymer coating over steel alloy plating. Deck armour of steel alloy, ballistic ceramic plates, titanium alloy bracing (with titanium alloy plating over key areas), KERI foam, steel alloy plating, steel alloy bracing, ballistic fabrics (spall protection), and tempered ballistic plastic plates. Main deck armour at 30-degree downward angle from horizontal, connecting the base of the superstructure with the hull.
Reactors: protected by additional level of depleted uranium plating (armour) and insulation to reduce infra-red signature and noise.
Main missile batteries: protected by additional layer of ballistic ceramics and by high volume flooding mechanisms. Launch ports for heavy missile batteries protected by deck armour.
Gun batteries: Tertiary guns (140mm) on outriggers positioned outside first longitudinal bulkhead (secondary hulls), secondary (210mm rail guns) and tertiary guns positioned between first and secondary longitudinal bulkheads (primary hulls), with additional titanium plating around the magazines and immersion systems to quell fires. Primary gun magazines are "triple hulled."
