Power: 27,500 horsepower (21 MW)
Drive: Four propellers; electric drive turbines
Armor
Belt:
11 - 9 in over mach and 12 - 10 in over mag (both 8 feet wide tapering uniformly from top to bottom. 10 - 8 in forward of forward magazine. 60 lb NS from belt forward (frame 8 to 17) and after from belt to stern
Casemates: 8 - 10 in
Turrets: 12 in / 2.5 in NS / 8 inch
Barbettes: 10 - 8 in
Decks:
50 lb NS + 30 lb over mag, 30 lb structural + 30 lb structural over mach; 70 lb NS + 30 lb forward of Forward mag over forward belt; 40 lb NS + 20 lb to bow; 80 lb NS +30 lb abaft belt; 100 lb NS + 20 sloping to stern.
Armament:
6x 5"/55 cal. Irondeck
100x RIM-67 Standard ER
20x Kashtan-M CIWS
10x Mark 50 torpedo
Radar and decoys:
AN/SPG-55 missile guidance radar
AN/SPG-60 radar
AN/SPG-62 illuminator
AN/SPS-49 air search radar
AN/SPS-73 surface search radar
AN/SPY-1 radar
AN/SPY-2 radar
AN/SPY-3 radar
Design:
The requirements for this class came from the very general requirements of a possible conflict between two allies. It also was made to better the profits of the Irondeck Coproration and its stocks in the World Stock Exchange
Armor Suite:
The Hermin class cruiser armor suite provides better protection than the Irondeck class battleship with thicker side armor and all magazines well away from the sides. The designers noted the increasing size, range and explosive power of torpedoes as torpedo designs improved. So as a result from the tests the Hermin is fitted with a 4 layer system of thin plating air space, thin plate, oil space, thin plate, air space, followed with an armored layer 9.5' inboard. This allowes the explosion to disipate in the air space and deform the liquid loaded back plate. THe deck is thick enough to set off a armor piercing shell and using a thiner armor deck below to catch the bursting shell splinter.
Engineering:
The Hermin employs direct drive electric geared turbines for power. Geared turbines, Triple expansion steam engines, and turbo-electric drive are all found to give better range for fuel expended. This makes it more fuel effiecent then the Irondeck and Seastabber.
