CENTURION CLASS BATTLESHIP
The 'Centurion' class is a ship built for the QRN after the original C Class was decomissioned. The 'Centurion' class is a well sized, well rounded ship for the Royal Navy that will serve for many decades and will easily blow any Hatarian vessel out the water that it cares to encounter.

Armour:
Armour is made from primarly HLSA steel with titanium strengthener. Small amounts of tungsten and DU rods support the HSLA honeycomb network. Composites of boron and silicon carbide and various ceramics are interlaced with the primarily armour for extra strength and two 65mm layers of armour (comprised from the deck armour) cover the deck to form a decapper and to support any snapping bolts.
