Description
This is a special project of the Infrastructural Navy, authorized in august of 27 IA with construction beginning in December of the same year. The plan is to create a truly oceanic warship able to spend long periods of time at sea. The estimated time of completion is some time in either late 30 IA or early 31 IA. The name selected for this craft is Hunter.

The Hunter is considerably longer and more massive than previous attempts, being seventy meters long and weighing in at approximately 5,400 tonnes, for defense it has a 40mm armored belt, as well as 20mm armor for the deck gun-screens. It's propulsion involves two screw propellers and two steam turbine engines rated at a total power of 4,800 kilowatts with a top speed of 26 kilometers an hour.

For it's offensive arsenal, the Hunter carries 26 75mm broadside guns as well as two 150mm cannons. This is supplemented by four Shchuka launchers (the craft will carry 12 Shchukas for battle) and five Type-1A/b for dealing with boarders and naval at close quarters and airborne attack.

In total the crew required for this craft is 360, most of which shall be taken from the existing pool of experienced mariners due to the high priority of this craft, which is being expanded as more smaller ships are built and more personnel are trained on them. For communications she has been outfitted with both a semaphore and a new type radio transmitter with an effective range of 30 kilometers. This is in part to allow the Hunter to serve as a flagship against enemy fleets.
