Well at this scale why not just alter the barrel length and call some of them GPMGs.?
Yeah perhaps, have to think about that. I used originally the Norwegian automatic 12,7mm Automatic MG that Norway use on their ships.

Another Question, Are the 2.75inch rockets guided or unguided?

The Kongsberg Sea-protector has been tested with Javelin and Hellfire. Those test was a success.

Either and or. Nothing stopping the integration of CRV-7PG or APWKS or any of the other 70mm seeker systems to it.

Just seems like guided would be the standard.

A class was a class of ship build for Caledonia their task was to patrol the coastline of Caledonia.

This ships was build to carry Hedgehog but they was not installed on them the only thing from hedgehog was the base/foot for the hedgehog just in front of the 20mm AA gun. They was also able to carry mines but that was very rarely in use on this class.

It seems like it would be a good base for an icebreaker.

CSS Gigantus

The ship that carries the nickname, "The lonely giant!"
She was the only ship of its class. Armor was pretty light but she compensated with big 14 inch guns in seven dual towers.

She saw many battles throughout her years, she gave Allied artillery support during World War I, as she did during World War II. she has been engaged in ship to ship battles. But the her greatest battle test came in 1918, the date was 12 May. She had been at a state visit to the United States and was on her way home for a heavy renovation. But out in the Mediterranean Sea, far from any support, she came under attack by one battleship, two cruisers and two destroyers. As The commanding officer on Gigantus, Admiral Mack wrote in the log:

"0800: Heavy Fog, we see no more than a couple of hundred meters ahead of us. I had to send the lookout to the top of the front mast, where he manages to look somewhat above the mist."

"1312: We are engaged in battle with a unknown battleship."

"2125: The battle is over, Gigantus have greatly listing, but remains. 4 of 7 turrets are out of service. Aft smoke stack is gone, both masts are gone, we lack a bit of the bow. Of a crew of 1700 is 343 dead and 700 injured. We have set the course for Australia since they have the nearest harbor that can accommodate her. We are holding a steady speed of 5 knots"

"2135: We have lost contact with both our Heavy destroyer."

"22 May: By pure luck we came across an Australian patrol vessel and is now being escorted."

She arrived Main naval shipyard in Caledonia 6. June For rebuilding.
