Ederai-Class

= Ederai-Class Frigate =

The Ederai-Class Frigate was the first ship designed and built by Admiral KhatEatingCactus as part of the Naval Reform. It was constructed in the Ederai-Elnam Imperial shipyard in the Autumn of 2022 and is the first ship of it's class. This class of heavy frigate was designed as a slower ship with more firepower to fulfill the role as the center of a fleet. The ship's complement is 300 to man the sails and guns along with other errands. Since Ederai frigates are full-rigged ships with 3 masts and 21 sails, they would require that much crew in order to tack.

Armament and Interior
The ship consists of 3 decks: quarterdeck, gun deck, and the hold. Each deck consists of multiple sections for their respective uses. There are 38 guns of common naval caliber on the ship in total, 10 on the quarterdeck, 28 on the gun deck, 19 on each side, and each gun would require 6-7 men to operate. The ship holds a galley, magazine, surgeons room, and the captain's cabin.

Placement
As of now, there is only one Ederai-Class frigate in the realm (OAZ Gebel), which is docked in the port of Gebel. As part of the Naval Reform, many more ships, including ships of this class, will be built and launched across the realm.
