## Rules and Doctrines

* Obey all wiki rules here.
* Treat your fellow officers with respect and courtesy. Our characters are generally based on the Brits, so acting like them is encouraged.
* No meme type behavior or anything like that. Keep your in universe behavior serious/believable.
* Our policy regarding scrapping is as follows. Only the user who built a ship may scrap said ship. However, the First Sea Lord reserves the right to veto further production of a class.

### Ship Doctrine

* Try and keep to a fairly common build style. Ships should have a mainly British look and feel. American design influences are acceptable, but not encouraged. (American carrier build styles are so pervasive that it seems generic)
* Warship weapon doctrine focuses primarily on big guns, with a fairly homogenous secondary and air defense batteries with a few dominant calibers making up each category. So called "secondary spam" is discouraged, as it can be disruptive to a ship's look and seaworthiness, and isn't really the "Telosian style." If a secondary battery must be powerful, a few large guns is better than many small guns for a cleaner look.
* Carriers, while important, are secondary in importance to the surface fleet. It is also desirable that they follow an appearance more in line with British design rather than American design. Clones of the Nimitz class get rather boring.
* A fairly conventional dreadnought style layout is preferred for battleships. It is also strongly recommended that main guns be spread out along the hull, rather than clustered at the extreme ends of the ship.
* We aren't too particular about cruisers, though an overtly Japanese design is discouraged.
* Naming conventions, English names are preferred, however non-English names may also be used. Something vaguely British is preferred. Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology may also be used for names. Battleships should preferably receive "strong" names. Names contrary to Telosia's political/economic ideals are strongly discouraged, no communism or naziism related names, please.

### Tactical Doctrine

Our main tactical and strategies are based loosely on the teaching of the American strategist Alfred Mahan. Whilst commerce protection and raiding are important, command of the seas by means of defeating the enemy fleet is the primary goal of the Navy. To that end:

* Battleships, and to a lesser extent battlecruisers and carriers, are the primary combatants. They are expected to cause harm to the enemy with their big guns, resist the returning fire, and gain overall control of the seas in their area.
* Carriers, cruisers, and other smaller craft have the duty to support the big gun capital ships in their actions. Cruisers, destroyers, and submarines screen the capital ships, defending them from air and surface attack. They may also conduct offensive operations, harassing enemy capital ships and eliminating the enemy's escort ships. Aircraft primarily are used to screen the fleet from air attack, with gaining and keeping air superiority above the fleet of utmost importance.
* Carrier strike groups are exceptions to the above, wherein smaller battleships may also take on the escort role to protect carriers from surface attack.
* The fleet is typically split in two main bodies, the Grand Fleet, and the Home Fleet. Both bodies have their own subdivisions, and some common sub-branches operate with both bodies, including the Fleet Air Arm. The Grand Fleet is the main offensive branch, and consists of multiple battleship and battlecruiser squadrons. Several carrier groups may also accompany these battleship groups. The Home Fleet is the main defensive force of the Navy. It is composed of a mixture of older, possibly obsolescent battleships, and purpose built heavily armored ships able to stand in battle longer than other ships, at the expense of range and speed. If the Grand Fleet is present? They will fight in conjunction, however the main importance of the Home Fleet is defending Telosia and her colonies when the Grand Fleet is away, or incapacitated.
* Amphibious operations are to be conducted with support by the navy. Preferably, they will take place after the Grand Fleet has gained control of the seas in the area. However, invasions, or feigned invasions, may be used to draw out the enemy fleet.

## The Fleet

The very fabric of the navy, our reason to exist. All ships are to have the prefix of HMTS (His Majesty's Telosian Ship), and it is preferred that a pattern of the flag be painted on ships' decks to aid in visual identification.

### Battleships

The *King William III* class battleship is a heavily armed and armored warship. Equipped with 12 of the very powerful 53cm MK I naval gun in twin turrets, along with potent missile and secondary batteries, she is among the most powerful ships in the world at the time of her launch. Six ships are planned for the class. They received extensive refits following Operation Kiwi Flight, including the addition of powerful heavy missile launchers.The *Ark Royal* class battleship is an 800 meter long warship of considerable power. Armed with 16 Wilcox MK-II 53cm guns, along with a battery of the new Comet anti ship missile, her main armament is incredibly powerful. There are also 4 separate launchers for Sea Dart SAMs, two sets of Longbow cruise missile VLS launchers, and a powerful 5.25" secondary battery. Her armor is also of high quality, and can resist even the mighty MK-I 53cm at close range. Her speed and mobility are also impressive, with equal performance to the *King William III* class. Six are planned.*Iron Duke* class.HMTS *Duke of Norrisburgh*HMTS *Iron Fist*HMTS *Princess Royal* A ship with an exceptionally large gun battery.HMTS *Agincourt*HMTS *Collingwood*HMTS *Earl of Selbury*HMTS *Bellerophon*HMTS *Guducanal.* A heavily armed and heavily armoured ship. Also contains a large missile battery. It can be used for any role.The *Resolute*, a well armed and very heavily armoured battleship. Is a good all around battleship.HMTS *Bataan.*The *Unyielding* class battleship is the strongest class of ship used by the Home Fleet. Exceptionally durable, equipped with powerful weapons, but possessing only moderate speed and limited combat radius, these ships make powerful defenders. Due to their importance in defending the Telosian homeland, and their limited endurance these ships are rarely seen outside home waters. The *Unyielding* herself is the flagship of admiral William Bradford, commander of the Home Fleet.HMTS *Warspite*HMTS *Repulse*The *Conqueror* class is a powerful 8 turret battleship based off of a lengthened *Unyielding* class hull. Equipped with very strong armor, including a 20cm inner citadel protecting the magazines placed inboard of the main armored citadel, and a similar 10cm inner protection belt protecting the machinery spaces. In addition to her main battery, she also possesses an impressive array of other weapons. This includes an intermediate battery of 38cm guns, Comet heavy missiles, a powerful array of Sea Dart SAMs, DP 5.25" guns, Longbow missiles, and a battery of 37mm auto cannons for air defense. An impressive fire control array also provides excellent accuracy, and the lead ship features extensive command facilities.HMTS *Templar* is a slow, well-protected battleship. She goes 34 Knots but can resist 53 CM fire at a ranger of 14 KM. She features exceptional AA and fire control systems. The front bulkhead is made strong enough to ram most enemy vessels.The *Vindictive* class fast battleship is a high speed battleship based off of the hull of the *Ark Royal* class. Her top speed is 33 knots, and she possesses similar protection to the *Ark Royal* in exchange for one less main turret.The *Furious* is a fast battleship at 38 knots, powered by gas turbines of similar design to that of the *Anson*.The *Royal Sovereign* is the most powerful surface combatant in the Royal Telosian Navy, and flagship of the Grand Fleet. Armed with 18 53cm guns in 9 turrets, along with a powerful battery of Comet missiles, 38cm intermediate battery guns, numerous 5.25" DP guns and Longbow missiles, four submerged torpedo tubes, torpedo interception systems, and ASW projectors. This is combined with a substantial air defense battery comprised of 37mm auto cannons and numerous Sea Dart SAM systems, supported by several CIWS batteries across the ship. Advanced fire control systems provide excellent accuracy, along with good redundancies on case of failure. An electric drive system provides improved flexibility, along with potentially better redundancies in case of damage through cross-connectable power conduits. As a dedicated command vessel, *Royal Sovereign* has some of the best communications systems in the fleet. Her protection is roughly on par with the *Conqueror*. Due to the cost of the unit, only one is in service.The *Philippines* is a quick but durable 6-gunner. Bearing a much ligher armament than most Telosian battleships, she can make up to 36.9kn. She is armed with a substantial amount of AA guns and artillery as well as several 203mm triple-barreled DP secondaries. She also further carries a couple dozen *Comet* missile launchers.HMTS Defender, a six gunner battleship capable of 36.2 knots.HMTS Vanguard is a battleship capable of 33.8 knots, but is extremely well armored, and has torpedoes, a healthy load of missiles, and secondary armament to compliment its 18 460mm guns.
### Battlecruisers

The *HMTS Renown* is the lead ship of her class of 7 battlecruisers. Armed with 10 53cm MK I naval guns, and 28 25cm DP guns. She is very fast, and highly maneuverable. She also sports the latest in sensor technology, and has a moderate defensive battery of 40mm AA guns.The ***HMTS Hood***. A very quick and nimble battlecruiser, she has only a fair armament compared to the navies other, larger, battlecruisers.The *HMTS Illustrious* is a powerful battlecruiser operated by the navy. In addition to 53cm guns, she also mounts missiles and powerful AA weapons. Her protection is rather poor, with resistance to 46cm shells at only very extreme ranges. Survivability is helped however by blowout panels, which allowed the *Illustrious* to survive an otherwise fatal hit to her magazines. Refitted versions have upgraded weapons and sensor suites, including the powerful Comet anti-armor missile. Modified propulsion systems have upgraded her speed to 38 knots.HMTS *Southampton Valor* is a new, smaller sized battlecruiser. Armed with the powerful 46cm MKVII naval gun, she possesses less range than her larger companions, but is still a potent adversary. They are typically seen as defensive patrol vessels, or operating on independent missions away from the fleet.The *Anson* is the lead ship of her class of battlecruiser, and is one of the fastest capital ships in the fleet. Armed with six 53cm turrets, six Comet launchers, and a powerful array of other weapons, the *Anson* boasts a powerful punch. Her propulsion allows her to reach a maximum estimate of 38 knots, and her maneuverability is good for a ship of her size. Her armor however is typically light for a battlecruiser, with limited immunity to 46cm fire only at extreme ranges of 16+ km, with no immunity to her own 53cm guns. Blowout panels, a standard feature of Telosian battlecruisers provide far greater survivability in the event of a magazine detonation.Postwar refits have increased the speed of the class, along with slight upgrades to subdivision for flooding control, improved sensor systems for fire control, and heavily upgraded defensive armaments.HMTS *Relentless* is a new sleek battlecruiser. She sports advanced anti-torpedo technology and strong AA systems. It also packs *Sentinal*,*Longbow*, and *Comet* Missile systems. She packs a heavy punch of 7 triple gun 46 CM naval guns.

Splinter protection and damage containment are the main focuses of the design.HMTS *Avalon* is a 7-gunner battlecruiser. She also is the first ship in the nav to make use of missile launching pods. These pods can be retracted and placed inside the armour belt if need-be. She also has the standard armament of 21 46 CM guns. At a speed of 36 knots, she is as fast as most of her counterparts and faster than most of her equal numbers in opposing nations.
### Cruisers

The *Reliant* class heavy cruiser is a fast and powerful warship. Sporting 12 356mm guns, long range torpedoes, and a healthy battery of missiles, she packs quite a punch.HMTS *Norrisburgh*HMTS *Briggsoborough*HMTS *Selborough*HMTS *Senforth*The *Neviston* class heavy cruiser is a large powerful warship.
