The Bellerophon-class was a late war super carrier designed by the British, designed for Pacific Operations. The largest British aircraft carrier until the commissioning of the HMS Queen Elizabeth in December 2017. The initial Ministry of Defense was for a large battle cruiser project in 1938 to succeed the Retribution-class.

After the loss of HMS Warrior in 1940, and the loss of HMS Retribution in January 1941, the project was suspended. The project would be restarted in 1945 to develop an aircraft carrier to succeed the Malta-Class.

At 56,000 tonnes, the selected design would be the largest British Aircraft Carrier until the commisioning of the HMS Queen Elizabeth in December, 2017.

## Background

The Bellerophon-class was originally intended to be an improved Malta-Class, acting more as an addition rather then its own class. However, wartime advancements in Aircraft Carrier technology quickly resulted in many new technologies being integrated into the design.

While the leadship of the Malta-Class angled deck carrier, the Malta’s angled deck would be a design alteration made early in construction. As such many modifications had to be made to the original design to support the angled deck.
Additionally, as opposed to the Malta, the Bellerophon was designed to handle Jet Aircraft.

The Malta’s decks would only be angled a relatively shallow 4 degrees to port. The Bellerophon-class called for a comparatively dramatic 8 degrees angle to port.

The Bellerophon was much larger then the Malta. Coming in at 1012 ft, the Bellepheron-class was an unprecedented increase in size, and required the expansion of the shipyards they were built in.

This increase in size allowed the addition of 25 aircraft to the carriers aircraft suite over the Malta-class.

To allow the ordnance laden jet aircraft to achieve take off in a short span, the Bellerophon was equipped with a ski jump along with a steam assisted launch catapult.
While the catapult had been debuted on the US Constellation-class, the Constellation-class had accounted for the need for more take off space by adding a longer deck.

As such, while the Bellerophon was 50 ft shorter then it’s American counterpart, the Bellerophon was able to launch heavier aircraft over the Constellation. The Americans would make up for this by producing more powerful jet engines.
IJN Tosa

The IJN Tosā was launched to much fanfare in 1924. Built during the resurgence in imperial patriotism, the Tosā commissioning marked the beginnings of a much more aggressive Japanese foreign policy in the Pacific.
The Tosa would first see combat in 1937, when she would become the flagship of the naval forces bombarding Chinese targets.
Tosā would sink at the Battle of Aleutians by US aircraft and the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38).

Attack on Pearl Harbor

WIP

Japan launches third air attack, and the IJN battleships shell the island. (Invasion...?)

Japanese Forces:

IJN Kii (flagship)

IJN Nagato

IJN Suō

IJN Shokaku

## American Forces in port:

The US Pacific Battle Fleet was decimated in the attacks of Pearl Harbor. By the days end, 8 battleships were sunk, aswell as both battlecruisers, and both carriers. Most drydocks and shore installations were destroyed aswell.

The only ships to remain floating would be the USS Pennsylvania, USS Nevada, USS West Virginia, USS Maryland, and USS New Mexico.

While the USS Antietam was in drydock at the time of the attack, she would be blown off her supports and roll to her side, and was forced to be scuttled to prevent her from rolling over.
Aguila

The Aguila was the former Battlecruiser HMS Inflexible. Offered to the Chilean navy in 1920 as apart of a massive effort on behalf of the Royal Navy to offset the cost of the war as much as possible, the Inflexible, along with her sister the Indomitable, were offered to Chile for a very cheap price.

While many head admirals were dismayed by this, instead of focusing on building a cheaper fleet of submarines, the purchase of the Aguila and San Jose set off a new, admittably smaller arms race with Brazil and Argentina.

The Aguila was serve an uneventful service life as apart of the Chilean Navy. Mothballed in 1930 during the economic downturn, she was only crewed by a small Maintence crew.

However, her condition started to slowly deterroriate as less and less funds were made availble to her and her sister San Jose.

In 1933, with the civil war in Argentina erupting, and the emergence from the downturn, the Aguila was reactivated and sent to Britain to undergo moderinisation. By this time Aguila was a decript ghost of her formerself.

During a report inspecting the ship for reactivation, the naval experts found the interior to have a fledgling infestation of rats, and while the hull was in decent shape, the actual machinary itself was in need of an overhaul. This was in much contrast to the San Jose, which for whichever reason, was in near perfect condition.

Nevertheless, the Aguila was to be towed up the seaboard to the US, where she would be moderinized in an American drydock, as she was unable to make her own steam. Crewed by her maintence crew, she left for New York on January 6, 1934.

However, while off the coast of Florida, a fire broke out and spread throughout the ship. Worse still the fire suppression system had been drained for being mothballed, and welded shut. Unable to control the fire, the Maintence crew was evacuated and the lines to the Aguila were cut.

The now burning Aguila was set adrift up the coast, and to prevent an accident, the USS Texas was forced to scuttle the ship off the coast of Georgia 2 days afterwards. The Aguila capsized and sank on March 21, 1934.

While the reason for the fire was never determined, during the report on the Aguila, it was noted that the generator room had several wires chewed through by rats. In addition, during the fire, reports from the crew indicated that the fire had begun below deck admidship, approximately where the generator room would have been located. As such it is commonly understood that an eletrical shortage had caused the fire.
Centurio

Serving a semi-distinguished career in the Mediterranean, she regularly combatted British warships, and served as a commerce raider.

Part of the action that would sink USS Georgia. November 1942

However, in March 1946, after an engagement with British battleship KGV, and Lion, she was put to port in Ansaldo.
Rejoining the war in late 1946, she was again used as a commerce raider.
Regularly combatting French ships, she alongside the Roma would later sink the Clemenceau during the Battle of Cyprus, but be sunk by the Triomphant and Joffre.
Smokestack

### **Overview**

Jack "Smokestack" Kinland is a former Crime Boss and Flexarium-enhanced villain in *Stretch Armstrong & The Flex Fighters.*

### **Origin**

Formerly the head of the powerful Kinland Crime Family based in Old Town, Jack was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole. However, on his first night in prison, Stretch Monster breaks into his cell and coerces Jack into injecting himself with a Flexarium-based serum that permanently mutates him into a grey-skinned goliath with the power to turn into smoke.

### **Powers & Abilities**

In his new form, his skin is soot-grey and nearly indestructible. Additionally, he has chimney like protrusions jutting out from his shoulder-blades, and his head becomes bald and oblong. His chest sports several openings that glow red-hot from within like a fireplace when Smokestack exerts himself.

### **Trivia**

* Smokestack is voiced by veteran voice actor Clancy Brown.
* Smokestack is one of the more older characters in the show, seeing as how he had been running Old Town since Malcolm Kane was a child.
* Smokestack's character is steeped heavily in American Mob and Gang lore, from his name, design, and speech pattern to his personal theme that plays whenever he appears.
* He aparenly like dancing disco, he was doing that in breakout
HMS Valour

Launched in August of 1941, the HMS Valour was distinct in being build primarily from American produced Steel.

World War 2 Service:

Undergoing sea trails with the recently refitted HMS Renown off the coast of Ireland, HMS Valour was the first ship to receive the distress signal from the USS Lexington. The first ship on site, the HMS Valour managed to pick up

Deployed with Normandie in Mediterranean May 1942
Aquidabã

The Aquidabã was the former HMS Lion Battlecruiser. Purchased by Brazil at the 1922 Battleship Auction, the Aquidabã quickly entered service with Brazil in 1923.

The Aquidabã was one of the most expensive ships at the auction, beat only by a thin margin by the HMCS Canada.

Albeit the difference being the Aquidabã was a fully completed ship while HMCS Canada was at the time an incomplete hull

## Interwar Service

The Aquidabã had only 2 relatively minor refits during the interwar period. Even though she alongside the Riachuelo would be the two flagships of the Main North and South fleets respectively, she would not receive the same attention as the Riachuelo.
Her overall relative disrepair and neglect would ultimately lead to an engine fire during high speed trials in the Mid South Atlantic in 1940.
Forced into having to be towed back to Brazil, she would finally receive a much needed refit.

She would be refit with stronger deck armor, and most importantly she would have her engines overhauled and replaced with Oil fired boilers.
She would receive a semi updated superstructure and bridge, receiving a bridge relatively similar to those found on the Revenge-class Battleships.

However, she would still be in dry dock in 1941 when war would break out.

## WW2

The Aquidabã would be rushed to be completed, and would be successfully relaunched in late 1941. Her refit had not been completed, with only her forward deck receiving the reinforced armoring.

The Aquidabã would become flagship of a taskforce compromised of the República, the Brasil, and the Alfonso.

The Aquidabã and others would sink the *La Argentina* in August 1943.
Ninja and the Ghost

**Ninja and the Ghost** is the Third Episode of the Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters Cartoon.

## Summary

During a demonstration, Blindstrike attacks Rook Unlimited forcing the Flex Fighters to defend the facility. Jake does some investigating and discovers that Blindstrike is in league with Rook's former partner and co-founder Dr. Racine Cleo (Dr. C for short) who was long thought to be dead. Meanwhile, Nathan and Ricardo begin having issues when the latter's jock like attitude gets on the former's nerves.
Energy Orbs

**Energy Orbs** is the new Tower Defense-type minigame added in v2.7.0.0 Patch.

You have a 10x10 grid, on which the enemy path is displayed. The enemies are **orbs**. To kill them, click in the empty squares around the path to plant **collectors**. Click the collectors repeatedly to increase their charge. Once their charges are all spent, the collector disappears.

Kill 25 enemies in your highest unlocked level to unlock the next level. If an enemy escapes, the kill count starts over from 0. If you have ever jumped to the Cube Dimension, the requirement decreases from 25 to 20 enemies. You can go back and forth among unlocked levels freely.

While in the Cube Dimension, the dimension's active bonus doubles collector damage. The dimension's passive bonus permanently increases collector attack rate.

There are 7 types of enemies. The types repeat every 7 levels, with increased HP. Rewards are multiplied by a factor of (0.005 × level) + 0.995.

IJN Kaga

Kaga was the second ship of the Tosā class. Launched in 1925, the Kaga had a slightly modified double wishbone funnel in comparison with the Tosā double funnel.
During 1933, the Kaga would be the only Japanese Battleship to undergo an extensive modernization refit. Her secondaries were moved from casemates into turrets on her deck, while her superstructure was dramatically altered into the Octagonal style seen after the commissioning of the Takao-class cruiser.

Kaga would serve a extensive life during WW2, becoming the most decorated Japanese warship of the war. However she would meet a very mediocre end as a mysterious explosion rocked her in port during 1949.
This mysterious explosion would later be attributed to a suicidal sailor detonating the number 4 magazine, which led to the catastrophic explosions of the number 3 and 5 turrets.

Krasynn Oktyaber-class

Original Layout for Voyla

## Anti-Aircraft

(8x2) 3.4in B-34 DP

(20x4) 61-K AA

The Krasynn is to the Russian Navy, as the Fusō was to the Japanese Navy. Built during WW1, the Voyla was without a cause. However post WW2 she became a figurehead of the Soviet Navy, especially considering the role her workers had in the October Revolution, refusing to work on her, and joining the Revolution. For this, upon completion she'd be renamed after the famous revolution.
Overall, she was a pathetically inadequate warship with no superfiring turrets in inadequate armor.
However, superior construction and timely and expensive refits effectively countered her initial drawbacks.
While more ships of the class had been intended to be built, by the the time that a Krasynn Oktyabr had been finished the class was obsolete compared to brand new battleships.
JSAD Treaty

After the failure of the Santa Cruz Naval Treaty after the Battleship Auction of 1922, Brazil invited Argentina and Chile to another conference in Rio de Janiero to set of a new defense treaty. The new treaty would become known as the Joint South American Defence Treaty (or JSAD).

Seen as the South American version of the League of Nations, the treaty essentially set up a mutual defense pact. The Treaty made each member state obligated to declare war when another member nation would be attacked.

The Treaty also set up a much more strict naval provision, keeping the same provisions from the Santa Cruz Naval Treaty, but augmenting it with fleet tonnages limits, a maximum ship size of 30,000tonnes, and making it illegal to purchase or acquire a warship in any way that would undermine the Treaty.

However, the Treaty set up what was called the South American Economic Zone, heavily deregulating the tariffs between nations for raw materials, and ridding the nations of border checks with one another.

The Treaty was very unpopulare in Argentina, as a rise in nationalism would decry the Brazilean and Chilean attempt to neuter Argentina so that they could invade. The Treaty was one of the main proponents for the rise of the facist rebellion in the country, that would see its democratic government over thrown.

This led to the Argentine government in exile to be relocated on the British owned Falkland Islands.

While Brazil initially attempted to intervene, the onset of the economic downturn forced her to stand idly by. Chile would attempt to reach out to the new government, but met with unreasonable demands, Chile and Brazil refused to recognize the new facist regime. As such, the JSAD regime did not apply to Argentina, but still applied to Chile and Brazil, as both saw the new power as an unstable radical power in the region.

Chile would declare war on Argentina on March 8, 1941 as a result of a ocean liner filled with Chilean nationals being sunk in international waters off of the Falkland Islands. As such, Brazil declared war on Argentina a day later on March 9, 1941.

The Argentina Government would go onto to join the Axis powers, recieving minor support in the form of weapon plans. With the Falkland Islands nearby, Chile and Brazil would both align themselves with the Allies. Both nations promised men after the war on the home front was brought to a close.
Tech Men

* The Tech Men, formerly known as the Epsilon Society, is an evil organization that first appeared at Crisis at the Cleo. Rook was young when he wanted to join, but they told him he must forget his family and his name in order to join, which made Rook not want to join. Later, they were disbanded after being accused of Criminal activity, and later, started going by the name of the Tech Men. The Tech Men also have a cult-like aura around them, believing themselves as the true handlers of technology and would fanatically condemn those who handle technology wrongly.

One of the Requirements for them to join is to abandon your name and family, the only exception known was when they tried to recruit Rook for second time because they wanted to use his company and tech

Brandywine-class

USS Bethlehem (CA-149)

## Anti-Aircraft

24x- 3in/50

32x- 40mm Bofors

20x- 20mm Oerlikons

As a successor to the Des Moines, the Brandywine was an extremely successful cruiser. While smaller then the contemporary Unzen-class, the auto-loading guns made the Brandywine-class one of the best warships of WW2, able to swiftly deal with aircraft, submarines, destroyers, and cruisers alike.

A small group of these ships could even take on a "Mega"Battleship or Carrier and have a fair chance of survival.
While designed as a fleet escort, it became more and more of a 'flagship' escort for smaller destroyer and cruiser squadrons.
Designed at the beginning of WW2, it wasn't till mid-war did the effects of its amazing versatility become renown. Post war, all ships were saved due to their outstanding service records and their ability to serve with the 'New' US naval doctrine of the 1950s.
By the late 1970s, the Brandywines had tomahawks launchers installed, but by 1985 they were all retired.
Guépratte-class

## Anti-Aircraft

The Guépratte was almost the love child between the ideals of American Carrier design and British carrier design, combining the ideals of a large fleet carrier with some of the armoring principles of the British designs.
HMS Malta

Malta-class

Part of the fleet that escorted the Surrendered Italian Fleet, alongside HMS Hood, HMS Beagle, and HMS Warspite

She would arrive in Tunis, where Rommel signed the african german armys surrender on her decks 1947.

**HMS Malta** would make history by being the first Aircraft Carrier to be set to sea with a fully operation jet squadron.

While the Germans had experimented with sea trials of the Me 262 on the Boelcke in early 1945, the HMS Malta would be the first to be commisioned with fully operation jet facilities.

The Peter Straßer was due to be refit with jet facilities in 1945, but wartime demands forced this to be delayed and Straßer wouldnt recieve jets until 1948.
Nebetta III

**Tauseret Nebetta III**, now known as **Seret Nebetta Egyps**, was a former Pharaoh of Saturania after her father Usert II abdicated in 3995. Lasting for a little more than a year on the Egyptian Throne, she was discharged by the Senate, and later her younger brother Aharon I became her successor.

Nebetta was Usert II's original Iry-Pat.
French Navy

The French Navy was one of the most underpowered navys at the dawn of 1930s. With the Great Depression hitting, the French goverment decided on two massive military programs (along with 2 other economic plans). The plans would result in the Marignot Line, and a massive naval expansion to help protect french territories overseas, and in particular, to match the expanding german navy. However, France would be one of, if not the only nation to abide to the Washington Naval treaty. Until 1935, when she would start work on the Alsace and Triomphant in 1937,

Like Germany, France was slow to adopt the carrier ideal. Her first carrier would not be commisioned until 1935, and even then it was essentially a small escort carrier. Throughout the 1930s, all of her warships designs would follow a very distincitve formula of quad primary turrets. The battleships, would all be armed with 15in guns, even as Germany, and the rest of the world, shifted to 16in-18in guns.

Luckily, France was able to complete the entirity of every ship that had been ordered prior to Nazi occupation of France. Many French Serviceman were largely at odds with the puppet government, and many capital ships managed to break out and remained interned at French Colonies.

The only redeeming qualities of Frances Navy at the beginning of WW2 would be her super heavy cruisers, and her heavy armored fleet carrier Guépratte & Henri IV.

Almirante Latorre

The lead ship of the Almirante Latorre-class battleships, the Almirante Latorre was commsioned in 1915 by the British as HMS Canada to help during WW1. The first battleship of the Chilean Navy, she was also the first Chilean battleship apart of the South American Arms Race.

After the closure of the war, the Almirante Latorre was delivered to the Chilean Navy in 1920.

## Interwar Period

Flagship of the entire Chilean Navy, she would be Chile's only capital ship until her converted sister Almirante Cochrane was commsioned into the Chilean Navy in 1924.

Refit in Britain 1930 and 1936, she was a decent super dreadnought.

## WW2 Service

The day after Chile declared war on Argentina on March 8, 1941, the Almirante Latorre was sortied with the Almirante Cochrane to raid the Argentine Naval Port of Puerto Belgrano Naval Base.

During the raid, the Almirante Latorre shelled shore targets, damaging 2 slips beyond repair, and destroying a decent amount of fuel reserves.

Notably absent from the attack was the Argentine Castelli battleship, the largest ship in the Argentine navy.

On May 12, 1942 the Latorre was caught in a brutal fight with the Castelli. The antiquated Almirante Latorre stood little chance against the Castelli, and by the end of the day, the Castelli would emerge victorious, sinking the Almirante Latorre.

The Catalonia-class of Cruisers were a class of 3 heavy cruisers produced by Spain. The first warship designed and built only in Spain, the Catalonia-class was designed by the Famous Spanish Naval Architect Miguel Massa.

The Catalonia was essentially an upsized Canarias-class cruiser. While the Canarias was equipped with (4x2) 8in guns, the Catalonia was equipped with (4x3) 8in guns.

The Catalonias were admitably based upon the Canarias-class, which in itself was based off modified British Town-class Heavy Cruiser hulls.

HMCS Canada

The HMCS Canada was the first and only big-gun surface capital ship of the Royal Canadian Navy. She was the former Admiral-class battlecruiser, HMS Nelson. Bought during the 1922 Battleship Auction as an incomplete ship, she would be finished by the British, before being finished in 1929.

She served a sadly mudane career, before her ultimate demise in 1942

During the Naval Arms race Subsequent to the end of WW1, Canada was looking ot expand its surface fleet, as just 10 years prior, the entire might of the Canadian Navy consisted of just 6 ships. The largest of which was an old armored cruiser.

However, Canada lacked not only a dockyard large enough to build a large vessel, but also lacked the manufacturing base to manufacture large amounts of armored steel, and an overall inherent lack of technical knowledge.

As such, Canada focused on purchasing another nations old battleship. During the Battleship Auction of 1922, she attempted to buy several former British Battleship, including the Iron Duke class ships up for auction, and the Agincourt.

However, all of which were bought by other nations. Canada even wound up attempting to buy the incomplete German Bayern-class battleship Wuttenberg (this would be sold to Argentina).

However, during the final week of the proceedings, the British decided to auction off the Rodney, as to appease the international community after commencing work on the monsterous Saint Andrew-class battleship, and Warrior-class Battlecruiser.

She would go on to be the longest serving battleship of any nation, finally being decommisioned and sold as a museum ship in 1997.

## Interwar Period

The HMCS Canada served an uneventful service life during the 1930s. Even after taking delivery in March 1929, the subsequent stock market crash led to a heavily cut back Canadian Navy. The HMCS Canada could be seen docked in Quebec for months at a time to save money.

The first time the HMCS Canada entered international waters (since she made her first transatlantic crossing to be taken delivery), was for the 1937 British Silver Jubilee fleet review. While one of the largest ships at the review, the Canada still look antiquated comparitively.

As such, HMCS Canada never recieved any update or refitment of any kind by the time WW2 came knocking.

## WW2

In the immediate aftermath of Canada declaring war on Germany, HMCS Canada was preparing to be put to sea to make the crossing to Britain.

6 × Type 282 radar for "pom-pom" director

The Jellicoe class was a direct cousin of the Nelson class ships.

While both were downsized versions of the behemoth Saint Andrew class, the Jellicoe was designed as a heavier armored variant of the Nelson.
While sacrificing a turret worth of guns, the Jellicoe had a much more conventional layout, the most convention RN turret layout at the time.
The Jellicoe is sometimes referred to as a Panzer Cruiser, due to the similar concept, but it is similar to calling the Scharnhorst-class a battlecruiser.

Having the staying power the Nelsons the lacked, the Jellicoes were famous for Mediterraiean patrols, tasked regularly against Italian and Spanish fleets.
The Jellicoe-class would also set the standard of a separated bridge for a catapult, feature used on the KGV and preceding battleships.
The Jellicoe-class would become famous for having a heavy AA battery once they were refit in the 1936, rivaling even the largest American AA batteries.

Overall the Jellicoe was an essential gap and substitute for the Nelsons.

Midway Campaign

Deployed with the HMS Queen Elizabeth to the Pacific in 1947

Flagship of taskforce compromised of HMS Implacable, and HMS Collingwood in 1948. Comes under attack on Feburary 20, 1948 from japanese aircraft from the IJN Settsu.

During the intial wave of dive bomber and the subsequent attack of torpedo bombers, Implacable would have her flight deck crippled, and Collingwood would be heavily damaged and lit aflame. However, fighters from the Implacable combined with overwhelming AA fire from the Enterprise led to heavy casualties, and the torpedo bombers abandoning their torpedo run.

A single Japanese torpedo bomber, heavily damaged from the AA, and on fire, attempted to ram the HMS Enterprise, but crashed short by 15m.

The crash sprayed the deck of the Enterprise with water, and broken up pieces from the aircraft did manage to collide with the hull of the Enterprise, leaving noticeable, but small and shallow, gashes in the Torpedo bulge.
IJN Ashitaki

Ashitaki was the Third Amagi-class ship laid down. Laid down at Kure, she would be launched in fall of 1926. Like all Amagi-class battlecruisers, she was a lightly armed version of the Tosa-class battleship.
However, unlike Amagi and Akagi before her, Ashitaki was not built with her secondaries in casemates- instead they were built in 8 double turrets along her deck, much like the Kii-class.

## Service History:

At the outbreak of war in Europe, as a sign of good faith with Germany, Ashitaki was deployed as flagship of a Japanese taskforce to operate alongside German forces in the Atlantic. Departing June 1940, Ashitaki was sortied to the North Sea to help defend German Oil fields. As a sign of goodwill, Russia allowed her to pass through the polar route in summer 1940. However, Japan secretly undermined this by sailing the battleships IJN Kongo and IJN Mutsu, and the escort carriers IJN Shin'yō, and IJN Taiyō.

From this point onward, she served predominately with German battleships, in the Japanese Atlantic Fleet.

During an engagement in November of 1942 in she was apart of the action that sunk the HMS Courageous off the Coast of Denmark. While HMS Courageous managed to strike and damage her, the damage was not extensive. However, due to the loss of Shin'yō, and the retreat of Taiyō, she was left without air cover leading to heavy damage from mainland RAF bombers.

To get back to Kure, Germany agreed to vector troops from the African Campaign to capture the Suez Canal. Named Operation WüsteBlitz, German troops successfully captured the Suez Canal in February of 1943.

Under the cover of darkness, she made her way through the Mediterranean, stopping at Casablanca, Barcelona, and Malta. Ashitaki encountered the Greek dreadnought *Salamis* off the coast of Kriti and quickly dispatched the obsolete dreadnought. However, during the engagement, Ashitaki's surface scanning radar became disabled from a shell fired by the Salamis. Additionally, this alerted the allies to the Ashitaki's probable route of exiting the theater.

The HMS King George V, and HMS Monarch, which were the 2 largest allied battleships in the theater, were deployed in pursuit of the battlecruiser.. In early 1943, she would come under fire from the HMS \_\_\_\_. During the third or fourth salvo from the \_\_\_, a round penetrated the magazine of the Ashitaki, blowing the ship to pieces.

Ashitaki sank in 11 minutes, with a loss of 1050men.  The lack of Luftwaffe support was heavily criticized by the Japanese, and combined with the losses sustained at the Midway Campaign, eventually led to them completely withdrawing from the Atlantic theater. However, the lack of her surface scanning radar only compounded the lack of escort.

In 1960, her hull was rediscovered, largely covered in silt, the center aft gun section lies on top of the bow, while the forward superstructure is upside down, and partially collapsed under the stern section.
Sepat of Sobek

The **Sepat of** **Sobek** is a province located in the southeastern region of Saturania, sitting on Crocodile's Tail, a destroyed peninsula that now constitutes of islands. Although, Sobek has a part on the main continent that has been fought over for centuries. It is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Siwa, to the north by Geb and Thoth, to the east by the Reptile Sea and to the south by the Khnum Ocean. Is the most farthest place to Khalem, by thousands of miles; and even more to Zawty, having the most warm and humid climate of the Egyptian Continent. The state imports the biggest amount of Papyrus of Saturania, one of the most important products of the ancient times for writing, and it is still important today, but not as much as in the past.

It is famous for having "three capital cities": Faiyum, Arsinoë and Nubt, being the first the true capital, where Castle Moeris stands, home of Sobek's Nomarch House. Nubt is in the farthest island and stands as the populated area of Crocudei Isle, where

Battleship Auction of 1922

With WW1 at an end, many nations sought ways to pay off the astronomical costs of the wartime naval budget. With the preliminary work starting on what would become the Washington Treaty, the plans for nations to auction off their battleships to countries started.

Many of the ships were sailed to the British port of Scapa Flow.

The Constellation-class Aircraft Carrier are some of the most distinguished vessels of the USN. They were the first angled Aircraft Carriers built in the world, and the first to be purpose built to handle jets.

The Constellation was heavily underpinned by a streamlined version of the Michigan-class hull. The Constellation was underpinned by a large majority of Michigan Machinery.

Their design was came at the idea of a British Liaison officer, who commented on the Midways design that there was room for a second runway, if they angled the flight deck.

Built separately from the Midways, they were the inspiration for the later refits of the Midways and Essex carriers.

They became known throughout the Pacific and Atlantic theaters for there ability to launch seemingly endless amounts of aircraft. Additionally, they all served outside of WW2, and were the longest serving warships upon their decommissioning, excluding the original Constitution.

The final ship of the Vigour-class, the HMS Vulcan served a predominately quiet career, serving primarily in the Mediterranean during 1943. Heavily damaged in 1945 during the Siege of Malta, during which Tegetthoff sunk the HMS Queen Victoria. The HMS Vulcan would be repaired and continued to patrol the south Mediterranean, primarily to keep Vichy French warships at Casablanca and Dakar.

Based on a upsized Littorio-class, these ships used upsized 16.5in guns, that were otherwise a scaled up version of the guns from the Littorio-class. The largest class of Italian warships, she was basically an upscaled Littorio when it came to hull design.

Overall, they served predominately in the Mediterranean, making rare Atlantic sorties.
The armor scheme was nothing special, and were downright pathetic in certain areas of the ship.
Overall, these ships helped enforce Italian navy presence in the Mediterranean.

Argentine Navy

At the end of WW1, the Argentine Navy had suffered from being the smallest in the short lived South American Naval arms Race.

In the aftermath of the war, Argentina was set on setting out to match her contemporaries of Chile and Brazil. While contractors were being seeked to design and build a brand new battleship, it was during the 1922 Battleship Auction where Argentina managed to catch up to her contempoaries.

With little long term partnerships with any shipbuilding nation, Argentina was very much free to buy ships of which ever nation she so chose, and wound up buying 5 warships from 3 different nations.

During the 1933 Civil War in Argentina, in which her democratic (but horribly corrupt) government was over thrown for a Fascist regime. The new Supreme General Pablo de Franco was dead set on acquiring a massive navy, as one of his key rallying cries during the Civil War was the demand for the Falkland Islands to be turned over to Argentina.

However, with little money, and very few connections with any leading European Power (as the United States had strong isolationist policies), Argentina had no choice but to give up a powerful surface fleet.

However, after Hitlers rise to power in 1933, Argentina aligned itself with the Nazi regime. During the late 1930s, Argentina would start producing her own fleet of U-boats, based heavily on Germany's Type IX submarines.

By 1940, Argentina had a fleet of 30 submarines.

## Sensors

The Aki-class was a series of 3 battleships ordered by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Nearly identical to the preceeding Yamato-class, the biggest difference was the use of 20.1in guns of the Aki.

While up to this point Western intelligance beleived the Yamato-class was equipped with 16.1in guns, the Aki's guns were officially listed as 18.1in guns, misleading the U.S.

This directly led to the creation of the US Michigan-class.

The Kamihō-class were relatively large ships, capable of handling 100 fighters. Her hangers were so spacious, she was capable of carrying a squadron of new MA7M Raiden Heavy Fighters.

The Kamihōs quickly became the center of whatever attachment they would be assigned to, with significant resources delegated to protecting them.
Izumo

Named after the province of Japan commonly believed to have the portal to hell, the Izumo was beloved by the Japanese populace, as giving the "American Invader" hell.

To construct her, a slipway used for the Shinano was slightly extended, and had large fishing nets drawn up around it, much like the preceding 'Secret Mega Ships.' It was presumed the Japan was working on a Supercarrier, prompting the U.S. to start preliminary drawings on what would become the Constellation-class.

The *Warship #11*6 was lengthened astern the bridge, and was widened just fore of the rear turrets. Additionally, armored belt from *#117* was added to the existing armor, and the torpedo belt. *#117*'s engines were mounted to far back to meet the main funnel, leading to a unique double funnel.

## Service History:

Completed to late to see action against Pearl Harbor, this ship became notorious her massive size, dwarfing contemporary battleships of every navy. During a nighttime firing drill, an off course American recon aircraft spotted her, and took high detail photos of her silhouette. It was believed to be a 'doubling', and the ship was in fact the IJN Yezo, due to the similar superstructure.
   She was famous for having a matt black and dark green camoflauge, a standard that was repeated to other Japanese ships. However, when she was transferred to the Atlantic fleet, she would sport a striped camouflage of grey, white, black, and teal blue, becoming one of the few Japanese battleships to equip such camouflage.
   During her maiden voyage, she was sortied to the Midway Campaign, where her true size was revealed. She joined Battleship Division 1, and is **heavily damaged.**

She was extensively refit at Kure during this, having a tunnel drive installed, a German concept that reinforced the controls of the ship to prevent the propellers and rudders from being jammed.

In recent years Izumo, along with several other Japanese battleships have had great cultural interest shown in them. At Kure, a 1:10 replica was built for the Kure Navy Museum, along with a 1:10 scale Yezo, Aki, and Yamato.
Additionally, she was featured in the anime 'Space battleship Izumo' or Blazing Stars in the U.S.
HMS Implacable

## Badge

HMS Implacable was the leadship of the Implacable-class Aircraft carriers.

Deployed in the South Pacific in 1947 with HMS Enterprise (flagship), and later the heavy cruiser HMS Collingwood (plus others obviously). Taskforce would come under attack from Japanese carrier planes from the IJN Settsu. While launching her aircraft, Settsu dive bombers managed to cripple her flight deck. The only aircraft she had managed to launch were Seafire fighters, which helped prevent heavier losses.

Her fighters were able to twart a torpedo bomber run on HMS Enterprise, and combined with HMS Enterprises overwhelming AA firepower, the bombers abandoned their run with heavy casualties. A single torpedo bomber, heavily damaged and on fire, attempt to ram the HMS Enterprise, but crashed short.

## Anti-Aircraft

(8x1) 12cm/45 10th Year Type

(21x3) 25mm/60 Type96

(24x2) 40mm Bofors "Chi" Type98

The Izumi class was the final formal design submitted for the 8-8 fleet expansion project. The succeeding Yamato

class was built as a response to the increased tensions with the US, and reports of a new class of battleships (what would become the Iowa-class) being ordered. The first class of ships to be armed with 18.1in guns, the Izumi-class was just as revolutionary as the Nagato class some 5 years earlier. Besides the break for the Kawachi-class, this class returned to the balanced 4 twin turret design of the Nagato.
The Izumi class also set the precedent of being built under heavy security, with large fishing nets surrounding the drydock, blocking out all foreign photographs of her construction.
(This would later result in dedicated "sheds" being constructed around the largest slips in Japan)
IJN Akaishi

Akaishi was slated to be the fourth Amagi-class battlecruiser.

However, with the conversion of the American battlecruisers USS Constitution and USS United States into CVs, the Imperial Admiralty decided to convert the then under construction Akaishi into a CV.
Originally commissioned with 2 short take off runways, with a single long landing runway, the Akaishi was a strange and tall vessel. However, during 1933, Akaishi underwent a long overhaul, removing the short take off runways, and plateing over with a single long runway.
Present at Pearl Harbor, her aircraft were responsible for blowing up the Virginia.
However, she would become the first Japanese CV casualty, being sunk by Yorktown aircraft during the Battle of Midway
