HMLS Steadfast

Hello good people of the workshop! I have returned, with another 12 brand new airships for you good people. First of them is His Majesty's Line Ship Steadfast, a pre-dreadnought style battleship. While I built the gasbag with the intent to make a rather traditional looking pre-dread, I got a bit carried away with the side skirts and found that I really liked the look, so here we are. Durability is one major focus of this design. It's meant to be able to fly around and take a pounding, while dishing out destruction with its own guns. The main guns are kinetic and the secondaries and CRAMs are HE, which is a great combination for breaking open armor and blowing up what's underneath. She also has kinetic CIWS in three central turrets to help with the defense.

Oh, and you may be wondering what the extra words on the side of the hull mean. All of my ships now have a motto, usually plastered amidships or on the fantail (stern). Steadfast's motto is Certa Fide Et Constanti Animo (With unwavering faith and courage [or with a firm faith and a firm mind]). I am unfortunately using Google translate Latin for these, which means they are definitely grammatically incorrect, but my goal is for it to be accessible and Google Translate gives you what I want if you put it in yourself to translate.
