The Blokha class destroyer is a class of destroyers currently in active service in Sahrland. A total of five were proposed with only four being finished.

Design and Construction

Plan Q called for 5 destroyers to be commissioned into the Sahren Navy. The lack of domestic missile production facilities in Sahrland had a significant influence on design choices as using them for the main source of firepower would result in serious logistical demand. The design was therefor very gun heavy, initially comprising of six 102mm cannons along with another six anti munition guns. The layout of armaments intentionally placed most of the firepower aft as it was considered the vessels would be on the retreat often in the case of combat.

For propulsion they utilized scaled up diesels used in Korvet series ships beforehand but as these were coastal types, the Blokhas became the first oceangoing military vessel of Sahrland to be not powered by coal or coal based fuels.

Construction was marked with difficulty due to corruption and poor funding. The rapidly changing nation also rendered many design choices obsolete on launch day, as the missile shortage was gradually alleviated and the strategic requirements of maritime service changed. Instability and frequent wars led to many being rushed out of production with large flaws.Notably, Blokha sailed out with only 13 shells and faulty electrical machinery which later led to her internment in Phoenia during the Sahren Civil War

Service History

Much of the early service history of the Blokha class is centred around civil unrest in Sahrland and the Sahren Civil War, in which they served mostly as leaders for torpedo boat attacks.
