Notes:
[Data note: Cost recalculated from the original "Cost: 831 (903)" to "Cost: 825 (897)" - ftsrj.js's cost calculator (confirmed accurate against Fleet Book 1's own "Mass and Points Cost Table") doesn't reconcile with this ship's originally declared cost; the original submission's declared cost never matched its own listed components. The bracketed figure is the cost with a standard fighter complement aboard, present only for ships with Fighter Bays.]
The Country class Dreadnought Fighter Carrier owes much to the experiences of
Captain Borodin a RHN officer who, on an exchange programme with the NSL
served aboard the KRF's Der Theurdank Dreadnought Fighter Carrier. Just as the
Der Theurdank class is derived from the Von Tegetthoff class SDN of the KFR,
so the Country Class is derived from the Tsar Class SDN of the RHN. The
Country Class is intended to form a significant part of the RHN's wall of
battle, whilst utilising the RHN's great strength, its fighters.

[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(240/20) = 12), not the Merchant one (ceil(240/50) = 5).]
