Post subject: | Fȳrēþel AU |
I'm heading to bed so not much info for now, I will update the OP later; Here is the first ship for the nation I've completed. More to come later! Federation of Fire Territories Fēderæt Fȳrēþel ------------------------ Flag ------------------------ Motto: “Eftārīsan fram þās æsces.” ------------------------ Submersible Vessels Frosc & Hund Class, 1955/1958. On the 10th of March 1955, the Ministry for Naval Procurement awarded the contract for a modified class of the current series of diesel electric SSK, the Frosc class. This modification would see the rearrangement of the pressure hull and working spaces, while keeping as close to the standard form factor for the sea hull. The internal changes were to make room for a new advanced power plant coined 'reactor engine', which having been demonstrated on land, was now eagerly awaited by the navy to be demonstrated at sea. The first and only of her class, Hund, had her keel laid later the same month on March 14th, and would be launched on the 23rd of May 1957. Designated DU-1 symbolising her status as the first of a new generation, Hund would commence extended sea trails in earnest. With initial teething problems proving manageable, Hund was accepted into Navy service on the 2nd of January 1958. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Naval Auxiliary Vessels Hælend Class Salvage Tug, 1912. Info soon! Ālīesend Class Collier, 1899. Info soon! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ancillary Craft 501 Class Tug, 1926. Info soon! Eā Class Sea Tug, 1911. Info soon! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bēacen Class Ocean Steam Screw Tug, 1887. Boasting the success of the Brēcæn Class, the Brecanburg Shipwright Company set out to fill a role for a heavy duty ocean capable tugboat in 1885. What resulted would be a vessel equipped with one of the earliest commercial triple expansion engines, producing an incredible amount of power for the time; This allowed the tug to complete all but the most extreme workloads, and was found to be an invaluable tool in the naval yards of Fȳrēþel. The first of its class, Bēacen, was bought before its keel was even laid, by the Fȳrflota, or Fire Navy; As part of an order of 6, for use towing hulls to be fitted out across different yards. In total 18 would be constructed between 1887 and 1898, and many would continue to see service well past the mid 20th century. Producing 1000ihp for a speed of 10 knots, the class of ocean tug proved to be very utilitarian to the many operators throughout its life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brēcæn Class Steam Screw Tug, 1866. Starting in 1864, the Brēcænburg Scipwyrhta Intinga, Brecanburg Shipwright Company, started a design for a new class of steam screw driven harbour and river tugs for the local market. The final design called for a full iron riveted hull, to contain a Fæstēah Īsen-Weorces Anlepe-Þȳrel Wiellanere, Fasteah Iron-Works Single-Tube Boiler, which would drive Fasteah Iron-Works latest two-cylinder double acting reciprocating steam engine; The Twa-Þȳrel Twīges Dōnung Ymelung Stēam Engin Bisen 1865. The first of its class, Brēcæn, was launched on the 9th of March 1866, which was purchased mid-way through construction by the Hātaþurg Holt Int., Hatathurg Timber Co., for their inland river operations. In total, 96 of the class and its sub-classes would be produced, by a myriad of companies both domestic and foreign, between 1866 and 1878. Producing 400ihp, for a speed of 9 knots, the class of tug proved its worth in the coming decades, even seeing service well into the 20th century on the many rivers of Fȳrēþel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Budbāged Bāt Int. Launches, 1895-on Starting in 1894, the Fȳrēþel govt. contracted the Budbāged Bāt Int., Budbaged Boat Co., to begin design of a series of dedicated launches for various uses within the govt. sectors.
Over the coming years, these launches and various sub-models would see service with the navy, inland river service, and civilian operators. They largely proved to be very successful designs within their intended roles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Quite literally the best tugboats I've ever seen, and I don't normally care about such small civilian ships. Well done. |

I love these tugs! Such amazing drawings, so cute! I would love to see some rivercraft soon, maybe even some passenger steamers? More little boats please! |
