VME Angurvadal-class Mk II - Guided Missile Destroyer

The Angurvadal-class Guided Missile Destroyer Mk II is a warship modernization-concept, introduced by Valkyrja - Maintenance & Engineering. This vessel is intended to eventually replace the outdated predecessor version.

Keeping its combat-support role in mind, the Angurvadal-class features a lightweight hull to maintain mobility and low costs of production. Since the battlefield conditions have changed significantly since the first iteration was introduced, the Mk II replaces its Rocket Launchers with a set of six Artillery-turrets, arranged in a centerline superfiring layout. In addition, six custom-built Gatling Ball-turrets, provide the Angurvadal with a potent defense screen.

The Angurvadal’s new signature weapon however consists of 4 Launch Tubes, capable to produce and fire guided missiles.

Approved for 1G Planetary Gravity (ladden, vertical landing and takeoff), exceed at own risk.

This ship was heavily inspired by "The Expanse" novels and tv-series. It comes with many design-elements from this fandom. This includes an interior that is aligned perpendicular to the main source of thrust and the Thruster-layout leans heavily towards a 'flip-and-burn'-style of piloting.

Credit where credit is due
the thruster housing design took heavy notes from multiple Expanse-builds by V0ID, who introduced some amazing techniques for these kind of ships. Go check out his workshop!
