Multi-Mission Cruisers

Shoukaku-class Stealth Multi-Mission Cruisers

The Shoukaku-class (翔鶴型軽巡洋艦, Shoukaku-gata keijun'yōkan) is a class of three Imperial Vestrician Navy guided-missile cruisers designed as multi-mission stealth ships with a focus on land attack. It is a multi-role class that was designed with a primary role of naval gunfire support and secondary roles of surface warfare and anti-aircraft warfare.



Note:
• This class of ship is the only class that retains the British Royal Navy Grey-colored scheme after the IVN reforms in 2017.
• This class of ship is not also affected by 2015 IVN new naming convention, as per advise and recommendation by the Emperor of the State and Parliament as being a command ship and honorable flagship of the Vestrician Royal Family and the Vestricia itself.
• The only class of ship which is highly stealthy and very technologically advanced in Vestrician arsenal.

Development
Development of this class started during 2005 Fleet Review. It was heavily inspired from the Britannian Destroyers from Code Geass series from 2009 that they start research it by the Rosenworth Academic City-State and BAE Systems Maritime ships based in the same place, for the possibility of making it a reality and use of its design for a stealth. All of its defense suite was technically copied from Chinese and Russian CIWS System, albeit more stealthy and versatile than to its counterparts. It also introduce the use of hidden active electronically scanned array radars onboard ships of the Vestrician ships.

Offshore Patrol Vessels

Ricarte-class Offshore Patrol Vessels

The Ricarte class is a class of multipurpose offshore patrol ships built by BAE Systems Maritime- Naval Ships for the Imperial Vestrician Navy. It is planned to replace ten Ney-class Batch I corvettes between 2015/2025. As part of the 2014 Rapid Modernization Memorandum, a total of ten ships are planned alongside 10 Ney-class Batch III corvettes and as of 2023, nine vessels have been built and one under sea trials.



Note:
•The class of ship is based on Type 031e Concept proposed by BAE Systems and Cammell Laird in 2018, albeit the first ship of the class was built 3 years prior to its date of introduction.

• The lead ship and the Verdanian Prefecture, Ricarte, was named after Artemio Ricarte, a Filipino general who is the former commander-in-chief of Philippine Navy and was exiled in Verdanian(in this AU, instead of him and his family fled to Japan, he was fled to Vestricia, and by extension, to Verdania). In this AU, Ricarte helped the Vestrician Armed Force to become modernized from its military reforms and became consultant and adviser to the Emperor during Interwar years. He was awarded by Vestrician Royal Family the Order of Royal Crowned Swords by his service and upon to its death, a large squat of land where his family reside became its own prefectural zone with a large Filipino community in Vestricia.

Multi-Mission Frigates

Wakizashi-class FREMM Multi-Mission Frigates

The FREMM (French: Frégate Européenne Multi-Mission; Italian: Fregata Europea Multi-Missione), which stands for "European multi-purpose frigate", is a Franco-Italian family of multi-purpose frigates designed by Naval Group and Fincantieri. In Vestricia, this surface combatant is known as the "Wakizashi class" (17 units planned, of which 7 were later cancelled). Vestricia, has ordered six anti-submarine variants and four air-defense ones based on the French design submitted by Naval Group to Vestrician Admiralty according to its minimal requirements.

Corvettes

Ney-class Guided Missile Corvettes Batch III

The Ney class of guided-missile corvettes of the Imperial Vestrician Navy are light frigate type of the Spanish-designed F110 family of Iron Horus Combat System-equipped naval vessels and third and current generation of Ney-class corvette. Currently there are four Batch III corvette in service, with other 16 vessels currently ordered and building at Hyuuga Naval Arsenal.

Royal Vestrician Air Force

The Royal Vestrician Air Force, also referred to as the Vestrician Air Force, is the air and space branch of the Vestrician Armed Forces, responsible for the defense of Vestrician airspace, other air and space operations, cyber warfare and electronic warfare. The RVAF carries out combat air patrols around Vestricia and its sovereign nation around it, while also maintaining a network of ground and air early-warning radar systems.

The RVAF had an estimated 68,567 personnel as of 2022, and as of 2023 operates about 940 aircraft, approximately 500 of them being fighter aircraft.

Aircraft Carriers

HVMS Beauharnnais (CVN-192)

HVMS Beauharnnais is an aircraft carrier in service with Imperial Vestrician Navy. The carrier is the second to be built in Vestricia and was constructed by the Hyuuga Naval arsenal in Casablanca City, Brumaire Prefecture.

Development

With the Clemenceau class carriers soon to enter service, the French Navy launched an effort to build a larger carrier specifically with the nuclear strike role in mind. Construction of the carrier was considered in 1958 but due to cost the program was cancelled in 1961.

After 50 years, with the success of NAM Sao Paulo, the sub-class of Clemenceau which was transferred to Brazilian Navy in 2010, the naval architects of Hyuuga Naval Arsenal are eager to build its own indigenous aircraft carrier based on the lesson learned from it. In 2012, Vestrician government successfully negotiate for the technical data and documents for the cancelled Aircraft Carrier Verdun project.

After improvement and change of design to incorporate stealth and various systems from the Shoukaku-class guided missile cruiser, keel laying began in 2014, launched in 2017 and commissioned in 2019. It's mission and operational status was done in 2021 after it was participated at RIMPAC exercise in Hawaii.



Sakuramine-class Aircraft Carriers

PA2 (French: Porte-Avions 2, "Aircraft Carrier 2") was a planned aircraft carrier under development by Thales Naval France and DCNS for the French Navy. The design was based on the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers developed for the Royal Navy. The project was cancelled in the 2013 French White Paper on Defence and National Security. However, on 2020 in Vestricia, the project resumed independently and two ships are planned to be built under BAE Systems Maritime-Naval Ships in Rosenworth Academic City-state.They will plan to commission and in active in Navy on 2029 and 2032 respectively.

I recommend not to draw welding lines. You do not see it normally, and make it look cartoonish.

Also surfaces where the angle change direction 45 degree, you can use a dark grey color, then black. We use black color for 90 degree surface changes and outlines.
