This image is not on scale, as many of you will notice.

The government of the Hanseatic League of Guffingford has hereby decreed that a new line of destroyers has to be taken into consideration to fill up the ranks alongside the already aging (but not outdated) Belknap class destroyer and various other less important designs. The Lemberg class destroyer is going to be a new breed of Belknap within the naval forces of Guffingford, but it will not take a leading role equal to the Belknap. Specifications are as follows:

Dimensions:
323 meters Length
67 meters width
12.5 meters depth

Propulsion
2 Pebblebedded Farrington & Patch Nuclear Reactors (compact version)
2 × 8 Side exhaust propulsion
4 × Waterjet propulsion

Armament:
All barrels are made of high compressed steel. Heavier and more expensive, most heating problems and wear have became a thing of the past.
50 × 144mm ILMS guns 360° Rotating Platform
3 × Double Mounted 650mm All-Purpose Cannon 360° Rotating Platform
2 × Single Mounted ETC Cannon 180° Rotating Platform
2 × 5 VLS missile cells (ship to ship)
3 × 5 VLS missile cells (ship to surface)
2 × 7 Anti-Aircraft QLS Missile Batteries

Armour:
The armour of this new vessel wasn't a problem for the skilled designers working for Guffingford. But making an armour fully capable of repelling many attacks is a steep one. Although missiles are a primary source of concern, the designers also had to take heavy shellfire into account.
Honeycomb high compressed titanium frame; multilayered steel

Decoy & Countermeasures:
- Advanced towed torpedo decoy systems
- Anechoic Coating
- Anti-Torpedo noisemakers
- AN/SLQ-30 torpedo countermeasures system

OOC: Danzig? As in, the singer of the misfits? As in, "The name's Danzig, motherf***er!"

FYI: Danzig is the German name of the Polish city Gdansk, and Lemberg is the German name of the Ukrainian city Lvov.

OOC: I like it. Very nice. The adamantium style armour is of perticular interest.

A destroyer with FIFTY guns?

We take the name destroyer very literally. And the ILMS guns are against aircraft, low velocity missiles and other airborne targets. They cannot be used against any kind of floating object. Well maybe they can but it's not smart. And missile bays aren't guns, mind. If you take the anti-stuff away, it leaves you with 5 main battle guns.
