Devastation class
Building year 1908
number ordered: 4
build: 3
lost: 0
It was built only 3 ship in this class. one of them was named "Devastation" and was the leading vessel of the king's private fleet,
"The Royal Fleet", he used that fleet as bodyguards.
When 20-year war had begun, she came to battle in what is today called "Hells Night"
"Hell Night"
year is 1926 time is 02:00 at night Devastation and "The Royal fleet" are carrying the king to the new temporary capital, when they
came under attack by enemy forces. The admiral ordered the fleet to get the King away from the battle zone, while the "Devastation"
and the battleship "Commissioner" covered the retreat. "Commissioner" had many quick direct hit and exploded. "Devastation" increased
speed to 21 knots and moved into 15,000 meters or less and opened fire with its four 360mm triple cannons, firing was so intense that
Devastation had to repeatedly change course, because of the shock from the main guns managed to move off her out off course.
"Devastation" was found the next morning, the superstructure was gone, the chimneys were gone, all guns were gone, all the crew
was gone,... and the bow was gone, because they had begun to run on the destroyers that attacked. She was towed to the
shipyard and was extensively rebuilt.
She was probably one of the most damage ship that has managed to survive, and was rebuilt.
One of the lieutenants on board "Devastation" said she was hit by at least 5 times more shells than what she should endure. Later studies
in modern times shows that the construction technique and design method for her turns out to be extremely strong. in simulators: manages
the same hull design to withstand almost the double of the "Devastation" experienced.
