Haram fleets.

The Western Fleet

1901-1967

The Western fleet consisted in this time period of the 2. 3. 8th. and the 11th. fleet. at the biggest these fleet consisted of 204 ships. of them there was 8 aircraft carriers and 8 battleships and 2 battlecruisers.

The task of the Western fleet was to protect the very open coastline and all islands toward any possible enemy. the fleet had many auxiliary vessels, they was for on mission only and that was to carry extra military personnel to any island in the fleets operation sector.

1968-

There was only two fleet left. they consisted of two aircraft carriers, and many cruisers and destroyers, and they was a part of or become a part of Haram's missile defense.

The southern fleet

1901-1967

The Southern fleet was the largest fleet in Haram. they consisted of 8 fleets, with more than 400 ships and auxiliary ships. but many of these fleets consisted of a bland of a few new battleships and many old battleships and battlecruisers. There was also many old destroyers, but the sheer number of ships in this fleet made it an scary fleet to go after. But the main weakness in the Western fleet was that it only had one large aircraft carrier. The Admiralty didn't see the need of them since there was son many new and old battleships in the fleet.

1968-

The remaining of the western fleet become more an support fleet to other fleets. but also and training fleet for new officers.

The Northern fleet

1901-1967

Probably the most famous fleet, something that are a bid surprising when we know it's placed in North where there is almost nothing. The Northern fleet consisted of only 63 ships. of these ships there was three aircraft carriers, and 8 heavy Battleships and 22 cruisers

The Northern fleet's ships didn't have the speed ability to other ships since they was build around the idea of superior sea capability and hull strength. But they was also heavy armed ships, that could take hits after hits, and still deliver it back with a lot of interests. for example the Heavy battleship BB29 HHoMS Humilation, She had a so strong hull armor that she could theoretically withstand here own guns at point blank range, but here main armament was the most talked about. 6 X Mark 67 17.1 in long barreled guns. during testing of theses guns against an target ship the Super Dreadnought HHoMS AXE, she totally devastated here with an single salvo. and in 1944 she was together with BB32 HHoMS Ultimate with here nine 18in guns, assigned to the pacific theater under US command. task hunt for Yamato. but they was soon assigned to artillery support.

The in 1942 the entire Norther fleet was assigned to Indo-china water for patrolling duty.

Amazing drawing as usual Heuhen, i'm very interested on the other ships this thread will provide; your works are always top-tier ones.

Just a "nitipicking" tough, Operation Kita occured in february 1945, well after the battle of Leyte Gulf (october 1944); so you can't sink IJN Ise and damage IJN Hyuga if you got sunk some 4 months earlier
