Notes:
The first ship design out of the 'Yarda Europea De la Nave De la
Federación, Nueva España', The Septième Peste
(7th Plague) SDN just shy of 23,000 tons. It is designed to fill two roles.
Home defense (where resupply is not a problem) and hit and run. Critics of
this design note that is it slow compaired to the Foch and that its primary
weapons carry ammo for just 3 salvos. Proponents point out that the 6 SML's
provide unparalled firepower (enough to take out any ship) and improved
protection. The class name derives from the 7th plague against Egypt in the
book of Exodus, the Plague of Hail.
[Data note: Added "(Military)" to the Hull line - this record had no Military/Merchant type suffix at all. Recovered from its declared Crew (12) matching the Military Crew Factor formula (ceil(227/20) = 12), not the Merchant one (ceil(227/50) = 5).]
