Topic: Archer Class Cruiser
The Archer Class Cruiser is the first official vessel employed by the Nvyirsk Federation. The Archer Class is 0.8 miles long, and at it's widest, 0.5 miles long. The Archer Class has one main purpose, to engage in anti-ship warfare in support of transport craft. The ship contains 150 rooms, with 80 as crew cabins, 20 as ammo storage, and 50 for technical, logistical, and administrative purposes. The ship's purpose requires many cannons, to suit these needs, the Archer possesses 10 turrets. For each turret, there are 3 guns. The guns on the Archer are of the Type 3 variant, being 180mm in Bore, firing a conventional shell. The shell is the CHO-A shell, which is meant to explode upon impact. There are two types of shell, the CHO-A, and CHO-P. The CHO-P is the armor piercing variant. The CHO-P is meant to penetrate a ship hull, creating a vacuum,
or, damage equipment and weapons.
The Archer has 4 engines, all of which are the XSF-11 engines, the most powerful industrial engine in Nvyirsk. The Archer has a max speed of 25,000 mph, however, it must follow atmospheric shipping laws.
The Archer Class has a burger viewing most of the weapons deck. The bridge has communications equipment, navigational equipment, and stores log books.
The Archer Class has 20 inches of armor on the weapons deck (top section past the bridge). The hull (middle and bottom) has 17 inches of armor. The engines have 11 inches of armor but in some places (like the exhaust) they have no armor. The bridge has 18 inches of armor.
Update: 2954
The Archer Class has continued to serve for 180 years. Since it's debut it has helped keep shipping traffic safe, and help to maintain control over planets in Nvyirsk. The Archer class has received upgrades like armor for the engine exhaust, upgraded communication equipment, and 210mm guns. The 210mm guns have an effective range of 25.2 miles (I know that in space technically there is no limit but to not be OP, I am putting a limit on them).
