Augusta Class Air-Defence Destroyer

CLN Augusta Emerita

Originally made with @KANBURI ‘s “Destroyer” and “Frigate” as a base, I created a modern destroyer/cruiser primarily inspired by the Alvaro de Bazan, Fridtjof Nansen and the Type-055 "Renhai" class of warships for the design of the ship.

Basically what happens when a European Frigate has too much fun touring the US and China

I used the hull segments of the original destroyer as the base hull for the design, lengthed and widened to accomodate more weapons as well as redoing the buoyancy for the internal hull, while I replicated the build techniques from the original destroyer to create the superstructures. Other sub-assemblies that came out of the original creations are the masts and the dual-purpose gun.

Controls (Movement):

Pitch for Forward and Reverse Movement
Yaw to Steer
