Apex Class Battleship

Eagle Industries
Welcome to Eagle Industries, a startup company that brings you the best brand spanking new military hardware out there. If you're looking for an honest, environmentally responsible product; you've come to the right place!

Class description
Dreadnoughts / Battleships (BB) are heavy surface vessels, designed around heavy APS gun platforms, firing rail assisted shells at enemies, while packing a decently heavy armour to soak up all but the heaviest rounds. These vessels focus on engaging large surface ships and airships, having only a comparably light secondary armament and little to no missiles. A relatively light torpedo armament is usually present, however, to give these vessels some means of engaging submarines. These vessels are best to be escorted by dedicated AA ships.

The ship
In an effort to build a cruiser killer that can punch well above its weight, Eagle Industries designers took to the tried and trusted Hybrid battleship design to create a compact battleship. In an effort to cut R&D time, the design builds on the hull of the Tartarus, slightly extending it, adding more armour and adding extra height. Afterwards, the realization was made that making a new hull entirely would've been faster. Unfased by this realization, the end result is a potent ship capable of effectively dealing with cruisers and smaller vessels. Using quad 300mm guns, the vessel has a high rate of fire, helping against more agile targets. The 300mm guns struggle against heavy armour, however. When the guns alone aren't enough, the 16 Havoc Anti-Ship missiles will aid against heavier and more mobile targets. A true pocket battleship, the Apex will serve fine in any navy, ultimately compensating for the major cost overruns that this project faced. Like the larger Summit, Apex uses an array of secondaries for AA and CIWS duties, and uses a 4m compound armour setup for maximum survivability.
