Information: The CRCN Type 085 “Hainan” Class Guided Arsenal Ship is a class of Arsenal Ships that has recently entered active service of the Celestial Republic of China Navy. Considered to be one of the most heavily armed warships in the entire Navy, this Arsenal Ship is designed to be armed with some of the most advanced weapons systems that makes this warship a nightmare to the enemies and would leave a trail of destruction in its wake. Armed with over 144 Vertical Launch System Cells, these missile systems are known for being capable of firing various missiles including surface to air missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles, and anti-submarine missile systems. Like most arsenal ships around the world (mainly The North Atlantic Coalition, The Russo-Soviet Coalition, The Rising Sun Republic, The Middle Eastern Alliance, The United Coalition of South America, The Oceania Republic, and the Koreans People’s Republic), this class of arsenal ships are rarely used by the Navy, due to the fact that the Hainan Class Guided Arsenal Ships are considered to be expensive to build and they have few ships yards across Mainland China and their allies that have the capacity to manufacture the warships. So as a result, the Celestial Republic of China Navy's Commander (Fleet Admiral Zixin Meng, Admiral Desheng Zhang, and Admiral Zixian) decided that the only time the Hainan Class Guided Arsenal Ship would ever be deployed would be when the Celestial Republic of China would want to intimidate their enemies, or when they want to decimate a enemy base or outpost. The Type 085 “Hainan” Arsenal Ship was first introduced as a concept in the 1990s by the Zetian Aerospace and Defense Corporation, but the project was shelved for years due the lack of funding for a large arsenal ship, but the Arsenal Ship officially came into fruition when the Celestial Republic of China decided that they need a new class of warships that have to capability to decimate entire military bases, armies, and outposts. The Arsenal Ship model first appeared in the 2019 International Military-Technical Forum "Army" in Russia before its actual appearance in the Shenzhen Technology and Defense Exhibition.
