MY BIRTHDAY SHIP!!! The USS Santo Domingo (EXP-1)

6,852 Jim1the1Squid  5.5 years ago

This is my birthday ship. I created her on my birthday, and she works rather well. If you guys want, I am accepting requests (nothing too complicated) for vehicles.
Controls:
AG-1 to 4 - Main battery turrets 1-4 (1 for turret 1, 2 for turret 2, etc.)
VTOL - turret turning
Trim - Vertical aiming
Roll to steer (you can turn while stationary, too)
Throttle - forward
Brake - backward
DISCLAIMER: The Port/Starboard lights are incorrect; there should be a green light on the starboard (right) side.
Also, the turrets are slightly off-balance, as in if you turn them to full-broadside, then the ship will lean just the slightest amount in the direction of the turrets.
Pretty simple, right? I'm sure you guys will have no problems operating this ship.
Tell me what you think in the comments below.

STORY:
Built in 1909, the USS Santo Domingo was designed to be a fast but light cruiser. Her main battery consisted of 12x 4.5-inch cannons, each of which was mildly effective against larger vessels, such as battleships. She had no secondary battery, but she was mostly used as a diversion so that larger, deadlier vessels could move past blockades.

The Santo Domingo was patrolling the Eastern side of Krakabloa on the 19th of May, 1917 when she was spotted by a stray torpedo boat. The Santo Domingo also spotted the Torpedo boat, and her crew set their sights (literally) on the boat. They opened fire, but the crew was still half-asleep. Almost all of the shots fired missed. After a half hour of exchanging fire, the torpedo boat eventually managed to load a torpedo into the pre-aimed tubes. One torpedo out of 3 struck the Santo Domingo, hitting the engine room. Within 3 1/2 hours, the Santo Domingo was claimed by Davy Jones, taking all but 7 crew members with her.
