HMS Bulwark

Her Majesty's Ship Bulwark is the first Bulwark-class Super-heavy Dreadnought built by the Empire of Kordowyn over an almost 10 year period. The Bulwark was built to be the Empire's flagship, replacing the quite old and requisitioned HMS Malevolence.
A few months after the Imperial Civil War, Emperor Llywelyn I ordered the Imperial Navy to begin looking into developing a Kordynian dreadnought not unlike those owned by the navies of the Old World as part of the Empire's plans to catch up to the Old World powers in terms of technology and numbers. The project was started in November, 252 under the code name 'PB15', and was kept secret for most of its development. Overall throughout its development and construction, the Bulwark was a large drain on the Imperial Navy's budget, and in 259, Prime Minister Elwyn Pryde's government considered scrapping the project (in a way, literally, as construction had begun by that point) in order to divert funds elsewhere, but ultimately the Prime Minister was dissuaded due to the progress that had already been completed at that point. 
The Bulwark is slightly larger than the Gretian Empress-class dreadnought, and boasts heavier armaments and armor, though as a result less speed, than its Gretian counterpart. The Bulwark is the largest ship constructed to date.
