Post subject:  The Kingdom of the Jasmine River AU

----------------------------------------History----------------------------------------
One of the first civilizations to rise in the world, near the river where jasmine flowers bloom all along it, the so-called Jasmine river.
The Kingdom of Jasmine was formed in 1782, after King Astolph's succession war. In that war the succession of a great kingdom, known as Földemberk, the duchy of Matricaria was victorious and its king declared that they had restored the ancient civilization, since they had conquered and unified all region of the Jasmine river.

The 310mm/35 Mark IV M/1897 was the main cannon mounted on all pre-dreadnoughts built from 1897 to 1900, and some modernized during 1902. Although its successor, the Mark V, appeared 3 years after its development, the Mark IV was considered the best choose to continue equipping its fleet of battleships until the appearance of the First Semi-Dreadnought the Salacia class in 1904.

After the Great Revolution(AKA: Nagyian Century Revolution) broke out in the Nagyian Empire, world tensions complicate the great powers of the continent. The Kingdom of Jasmine, the great kingdom that is known for its origin, the Jasmine River and its "tea lakes" now needed a new class of gunboats for the foreign stations and patrol their seas. At the turn of the century, when the revolution took place, Jasmine had only a few obsolete ones and still used the combined propulsion of steam and sails, which had a certain shameful participation in foreign intervention during the revolution. One year later, a new modern class of gunboats was requisitioned, the 1901 Naval Conference also emphasized the modernization of ship's armament and the development of its submarine fleet.
The Pome Class was built to operate as well at sea as in coastal and riverine waters, patrolling and even supporting other operations.
Displacing 1819 tons, armed with 2x1 125mm (4.9 inches)/40 rapid firing cannons, developed after the naval conference and which was previously introduced to other modernized ships with satisfactory results, and 7 65mm/50 guns, which despite the Still being model of 1897 is still a good deal for several reasons. Triple vertical expansion steam engines generated a power of 2060 horsepower that could propel the ship to 14.7 knots, and at its cruising speed of 12 knots had a maximum range of incredible 10500 nautical miles. With such features it is not hard to believe that this was really an impressive vessel.
In total 20 vessels were planned, but only 17 were delivered.

Developed from the Experimental 450mm/50 MK U M/1919 gun, which was made for the gigantous warships of the Gigantea class, built to Rivalize the slightly larger Mount Sherley battleships class from Nifila-Goeland. This was the largest Caliber ever assembled on a capital ship of the Jasmine realm, and the rounds were so expensive for the Jasmine Industries and the astounding advances of the Nifila-Goeland Engineering that they considered the conversion of the Gigantea Class into a carrier and use their weapons for coastal defenses as those would be no match against their Faster Battleships.

The performance sheets for the artillery look very impressive (though I don't feel knowledgeable enough to comment on their accuracy/plausibility), but I have a feeling You might be making an effort that might be bit excessive for a forum that's mostly oriented towards drawings (though of course if it gives You pleasure, by all means continue making these sheets ;) ). Especially considering that only drawing of the ship so far is resized. :(

With the appearance of the first aircraft carrier during the second half of the 1910s, Jamine's navy started the "Sporobolus" program, which was aimed at developing its naval air force. By the end of the decade the jasmine navy had its busy shipyards building warships because of the most recent naval program in Nifila-Goeland, mainly in the development of the Gigantea class, so during that phase no aircraft carrier of the program left the paper. The naval air force of jasmine had until then had 4 tenders converted from the 3 Armored Cruisers of the class Brugmansia and 1 Battleship of the class Regia, the 50 Airplanes available for them were reconnaissance biplanes, some being used to load torpedoes based on some prototypes of other nations.
Finally on April 24, 1928 the first aircraft carrier of Jasmine was laid down, the ARJ Diandrus. During those years, obviously, the design was improved and also enabled the navy of Jasmine to obtain a technological advantage, which became known as Runway Ramp(Know as Ski Jump IRL), this ramp allowed take-off to take place on a shorter flight deck, although Diandrus had a not too short flight deck.
This breakthrough was discovered when a naval officer was watching an air circus, and noted that the pilots used ramps to help take off. after the end, this officer asked them why the ramp on the runway, and the answer made him come back with a brilliant idea. This officer, known as Contra-Almirante(Rear Admiral) Marco Estelle, was involved with the Sporobolus program, so he presented his proposal based on what he had seen in the air circus and its development was classified secret until the commissioning of Diandrus on 28 September 1931.
