Defender class
Shall come with an update of the ship soon


Building year 1895
number ordered: 6
build: 3
lost: 3

it was built three ships in this class, they were built in the 1895. No one knows what these ships was called,
because all the documents on them vanished. they all sunk in the first fight.

They were not considered to be the best ships Haram built, but what they learned from the Defender class, took
they with them for future ships.

Length: aprox. 115/120m
Speed: aprox. 11/13 knots

weapon:
2*twin 247 mm guns
8*singel 100 mm guns
2*under water torpedo tubes

Fleet Admiral Hadok class


Building year 1904
number ordered: 7
build: 5
lost: 3

BattleShips of the Fleet Admiral Hadok class was regarded as one of the most powerful battleships when they were launched.
It was built 5 of them and they were all in the same fleet. The fleet was called the 9. battleship fleet. The fleet had a
total of 35 battleships, this fleet did also most damage on enemy naval forces. And one of the most feared fleets from Haram.

On the way back to base to load up with cool and ammunition, came the Battleship "Fleet Admiral Hadok" under attack by four
battleships, these battleships, After 4 / 5 hours of fighting managed "Fleet Admiral Hadok" to destroy 2 and injured the
two others. "Fleet Admiral Hadok" was so damaged that she had to go straight in to the docks, where it was the rest of the war.

Weapon
8* twin 350mm guns
26*singel 127mm guns
6* under water torpedo

Togo class


Building year 1905
number ordered: 2
build: 1
lost: 1

It was built only a ship in the class, and she was built with higher hull bearing in mind that she would manage the North Sea
better than other battleships and thus one has an offshore battleship!

What one noticed about her 15 years of service before she sunk, was that she was only in combat with enemy ships when there was
bad weather. She was sunk in a battle with two modern battleships, the weather was perfect for her, but the battleships she was
in battle with was much more modern than her, and had much better speed and seaworthiness than her.

armament:
2 * quad 280mm guns (later 360mm)
23 * 100mm guns
1* twin Underwater torpedo tube


She was part of the North Sea fleet. in this fleet there was also the very famous and very infamous super battleship "HHoMS Thor"
who came to this fleet around 1930/1940.

D-class



Building year 1907
number ordered: 25
build: 24
lost: 11

Length: 121,73 meters
Speed: 36 knots, one test version managed 39 knots with a different type off engines

Armarment:
4*single 76mm (later upgradet to 88mm)
2*single 20mm
4* single and twins Torpedo tubes
Depth charges, some had mine instead, therefore, large aft deck.

This was a popular design in the Haram, it was built many boats of this type, as a clean Destroyer, a submarine destroyer,
escort vessels, etc.

hull design was extremely successful, it managed to combine seaworthiness with high speed capacity, and capacity to carry
heavy loads, which earlier vessels in Haram has had major problems with before.

The most famous of them is the Destroyer "G 334" which managed to lure an enemy battleship into a minefield and that way managed to
get out of the situation it was in.

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.

Armarment:
4*tripple 360mm Befer N33/3-360 MK III
32*singel 135mm Havok KM1-135 MK IV

After rebuilt:
2* Befer and The Havok DBF Q-360/4 (Quad 360mm)
2* tripple 360mm Befer N33/3-360 MK III
6* Singel 135mm Havok D2-135
16*singel 135mm Havok KM1-135 MK IV

Andromeda class


Building year 1926-1928
number ordered: 12
build: 6
lost: 2

The Andromeda class or as it was called "The six A's," these ships had a long service period, where two of them were
placed in reserve fleet at the end of their service period. Total was the last two in service for 50 years. when the
missiles came, it was easy to re-build Andromeda class to carry missiles, and when the helicopter came ...

they were built to support future aircraft carrier, if the Haram was to have aircraft carriers.

Two of them were sunk by submarines.

Project 0134D class


Building year 1926
number ordered: 45
build: 34
lost: 15

It was needed for fast destroyers that could protect the cruisers and battle ships against submarines and other vessels.
It was granted money to build Project 0134D, they did not have a name just a number totally there was built 34 of the 45
that were ordered. they other was not built because they needed the shipyards to repair other ships that have been
damaged during combat.
