The '''Blokha class destroyer''' is a class of destroyers currently in active service in Sahrland. A total of 4 were proposed with only one being finished and another converted to a completely separate design.
 +
The '''Blokha class destroyer''' is a group of five destroyers produced by the [[Sahren Navy]] during the [[Chevspendic invasion]], with only four being finished to original specs. They were rushed out of production to fill wartime neccessities, with the exception with [[Leamhan (ship)]] which was cancelled and sold to a civilian shipping company. All five were named after various insects.

==Development==

Plan Q called for 4 destroyers to be commissioned into the Sahren Navy. A design consisting of three 4 inch guns in two turrets was accepted and put into production, but soon this was changed to three 5 inch guns in single mounts. Funding failures resulted in construction taking far longer than originally planned.

==Design and Armament==

Design flaws were shown to be drastically miscalculated as soon as production began, the beam was too small to contain the armament desired. The 4 inch guns also proved poor against any armour, resulting in a varient of the type-2112 102mm howitzer to be created capable of firing foreign 127mm rounds. These design flaws contributed to the decision to cancel the two yet to be ordered Blokhas and upgrade the ones still in production.

The Blokha class destroyer is a group of five destroyers produced by the Sahren Navy during the Chevspendic invasion, with only four being finished to original specs. They were rushed out of production to fill wartime neccessities, with the exception with Leamhan (ship) which was cancelled and sold to a civilian shipping company. All five were named after various insects.


Design and Construction

Main : Chevspendic invasion
Main : War of the Egercias
After the subduction of Dugthail, most of the other northern Egercian lands fell to the Chevspendi quickly and the nation of Sahrland was formed. A Sahren Navy was shortly created and it's newly appointed Chief of Navy Yerik-dana Akhatov set out to draft a doctrine and a naval expansion plan, which eventually evolved into Plan Q. This called for 5 small river-capable warships, three medium sized river-capable warships, and 1-2 large oceangoing warships, along with several small torpedo boats and coastal defence craft. These small river-capable warships became projects 22, 25, 27, 28, and 29 whose construction was to be headed by An-Tohyon, a foreign naval expert from Mechani.


Domestic shipbuilding in Sahrland had several challenges in this time. Maritime expertise and naval tradition was essentially nonexistant, vehicle production was also essentially nonexistant, dock sizes were very small, and the materials needed like aluminium, steel, and the machined parts were only able to be produced artisinally. Additionally there was not a single facility capable of producing large cannons or large engines in the entirety of the nation until late 2125 when the Rokfor Ordanas Monarcha was seized and relocated northward. Entire industries would need to be developed before a single ship could be laid down.


Characteristics

The vessels were armed with a primarily gun-based armament of six IRM-102s which had been given lengthened barrels, housed in three twin turrets in a one fore two aft arrangement. Their defensive suite consisted of an extensive six 20mm anti munition emplacements as it was predicted a potential enemy would seek to exploit their missile advantage to the fullest extent.


For propulsion they utilized two large custom made LFO-electric turbines which were each essentially four Type-2109 LFO turbines arranged together. Each of these two powered a single three bladed propellor


Laser rangefinders were fitted into each turret which would feed data into a central analogue fire computer in the bridge. Fire control was not assisted by radar, and the only radars present were used for directing the anti munition cannons. Later refits addressed these issues in a piecemeal manner, making every destroyer differ significantly in this aspect of design.

Modifications

(to be done)

Production

Construction was marked with difficulty due to lack of experience, manpower shortages, and inconsistant 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 the War of the Egercias 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. Their extensive gun armament for their size also contributed to stability issues which diminished accuracy and seakeeping.
