Predecessor to CMD Johnson class

The Loder, Carmer and Baser corvettes. The class was originally consisting of only Loder class, the later on got developed into Carmer and Baser class, where the Baser class was the most recognised version of the entire lineup. The Loder, Carmere and Baser class was the workforce in the Navy litoral water warfare. Designed to work between and around the many islands Caledonia consist of. All ships in the 3 type class was equipped with towed sonar and hull mounted sonar, the idea was that they was to support other ships in ASW operation as good as possible.

----------------------

Loder class was the first version, it had a downgraded version fot the Standard radar in the Navy, it was also equipped with hull mounted sonar and a towed sonar, in addition it have equipment/rigging for mine sweeping. The class would usually work together with a another ship. Loder class had also a cargo deck.

because, that's how it is

Huh? I'm honestly interested. I can think of no large ships with that kind of shape, so I am wondering why you chose it here.

I don't need any reason for it, that just how simple it is.

Lets do ferries!

Caledonia consist of many Islands and some of the large islands have large fjords, where it is faster to cross then drive around. So there are many ferry and boat companies in Caledonia. One of the bigger companies, is the Northern most family owned ferry and transport company, "Davies & co ferry company", they are so big that they basically have a monopoly of all shipping in the North Caledonia and are jokingly referred as the Caledonia Mafias.


The company have many ferries, this is just a few of them in service, some ferries have been build on licens.

CFS-series

The CFS series ferries, was a sries of older 80's ferries, that served far into the 2000, and ended it's carrier as a reserve ferries. The class was well known for having an amazing large car capacity for it's size tanks to it's twin car deck. But toward the end of it's life there was noticed a problem with more modern busses, they was so low, that in some situation at tide/spring, those busses could have some problem with getting onboard, so the ferry crew would always have some wood at hand. The class series went from CFS95, CFS103, CFS113, CFS128 and CFS139. Toward the end of it's life as a reserve ferry, although some of them had some engine problem due to wear and tear, when passenger saw these ferry was in traffic, they know they would come onboard, no matter how far behind in the queue they was, the class was known to be able to take all the cars and trucks at the dock and sometimes even more.


CFS113/165
The middle size of the CFS-series, they suffered some engine problems toward the end of it's carrier due to they was being used so much, in all sort of traffic, everything from short but rapid routs to long routes,toward the end of it carrier, there would be situation where these ferries in this class would either miss the dock and hit it hard or go aground, some is also one of the reason they got axed in the end, specially when the newer CF-class was starting to be put into reserve fleet and could take over the role as reserve ferry, but with more comfort.

CF82-series
is a series of ferries build in the 90's, among the CF-series, the 82 class was the most popular size. The CF-series was known for it's much better comfort then the older CFS-series. It gave also passengers and passenger deck with much better view, instead of having them down bellow deck. The class was also know as a very good sea boat's but could be a bit wet, due to the tendency to just smash trough the waves, then moving with it.

CF82/92
The standard version, used in more enclosed water, the safety and comfort was improved. The first few ship in the class had an experimental gearbox system, where both engine in each end was connected to each other trough gearbox's, it also gve the ship a possibility to drive on 1 engine, but they could use one engine to help start the other engine, when both engine was connected, they would operate as one big engine. Later model wouldn't get this system. The entire class was know to have quiet powerful engines.

CF82/92-2
The CF82/92-2 class received a bow port, so it should be able to handle some sea state better. The class was build from the get go without the advance powerplant and gearbox system the previous class had, instead it received the more powerful powerplant from the start, it was known for have really good maneuverability and in traffic, it would just run on 1 engine and have the other engine just idle at low rpm or run in a low power mode, due to this setup the class was well known to be able to stop the ship very fast, and even when they would have propulsion problems, the other engine that was just idling would be ready to take over on short notice.

CF82/92-6
The CF82/92-6 class was build in large numbers, the major difference between previous class in the CF82-series, is that CF82/92-6 have an enclosed car deck. This is due to the class was build to operate in rather open sea. This class was build from the early 90's and there was always ordered more underway, the class was a success in service and popular with passengers.

MF Meskin sunk during a mine-laying exercise accident with the Caledonia Navy in 1996, when they hit something underwater at speed, while moving into position close to land. One of the contribution to the accident was the usage of navy vrew to operate the ferry, then the original crew of the ferry, a crew that know the ferry's capability.

CF100/125
The class was one of the larger version of these ferries, well know for it's capacity, and among the first 90's ferries that could match the CFS-series, mainly thanks to that the CF100-series have a hanging deck to one side with 2 lanes, to a small reduction in truck/buss capacity. Put in either rout's where there is much traffic or on short ferry rout where there wouldn't be space to operate two ferries at the same time.

CF100/125-6
The CF100/125-6 was an open sea going version of the series, with an enclosed car deck. The hanging car deck was slightly longer for just a few more cars. It was the first in the series that received a totally different engine setup, they received a more powerful engine, so it should be able to hold route speed more easily in rough weather, the class was know for it's top speed and it's ability to drive in delay quite fast, mainly due to the large difference between route speed and top speed of the ferry. The class was the fastest ferry in operation, until the newer class of Fast-ferries come in 2010.
