Defending you, in clear skies or stormy seas

In 2018,the Erandian government issued a request for a Small corvette to replace the aging Jahwati IV class patrol boats.

Designed as a joint venture by Horizon fleet Systems and built by the San Silba shipyards, Jahwati Shipworks and the Retmansburg Engineering corporation. An extremely efficient design, it is powered by Intergrated Electrical Propulsion, by 6 LB-H Batteries.

The Eremita class Corvette Excels at its role of Offshore patrol, and it has a standard Crew complement of only 28 sailors. Costing only 690 Million ER, it is up for sale to any Erandian Ally.


Armament

Very heavily armed for a ship of it's role and size, the Eremita has a literal shipload of weapons mounted.

x1 ERN Standard 76mm Rapid fire Co. pact naval gun
x8 ERN-Standard VLS carrying SLASCM-3 Subsonic cruise missiles
x2 R3 30mm Autocannons
x1 CIAAM-3 Cutlass Close range Anti-aircraft and Anti-missile systems


The ERN and ERCG have planned for 25 ships, with 20 going to the ERN's PVFs (Patrol Vessel Flotilla) and 5 going to the ERCG Fleet. The ships that will go to the ERCG have not yet started building.

My first true ship rework, the Eremita here was based off the Type 056 class Corvette, Yoon Yongha class OPV, Tuo chiang class Corvette and the Buyan-M. The ship is a great improvement from the original Eremita. The dazzle camo was based off the one from HMS Tamar, and I really like it. The Eremita was first posted on the 29th August last year, and it's interesting to see how different the ships are after only slightly less than a year. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and this account over the last year or so, and let's hope that I can keep active in SP for yet another year.

Enjoy!

This build is in a 1:3 Scale.
