Tribal Class

  Another mid unification British design, this ship has seen some production outside of it’s original order with it’s focus on a heavy hitting anti-ship railgun being somewhat unique in the current set of designs for the Commonwealth Navy. As most destroyers after the war have been focused around missiles and only have their railgun as a secondary weapon to disable systems like sensors or engines before the missiles start to fly.

  It’s main spinally mounted railgun is the centre of the design with the rest of the ship being built around it, shielding the gun somewhat. This focus on the main railgun however comes at the cost of versatility as, outside of the CWIS guns, it has no traversable weapons meaning it requires other ships in the formation to guard against flanking attacks when its focused on it’s target.
