Description

Nerine Class Union of Worlds AS Escort:

Overview: The Nerine is the Union of Worlds oceanic escort, and comes in two types, one designed for anti submarine duty and one for fleet air defense. Armed for anti-submarine duties the Nerine AS is equipped with powerful sonar systems and also has the capability to house and launch a Squall oceanic aircraft from its rear deck for patrol and additional anti submarine duties. While retaining its ability to also engage air and sea targets the Nerine tends to carry more Tornado ballistic torpedoes in its VLS arrays. Nerine AS normally travel in packs, surrounding larger Union fleets and acting as hunters against enemy submarines, locating and destroying them with torpedoes and depth charges.

Armament: The Nerine AS is equipped with a VLS array with 26 missiles usually a mix between Arrow SAM systems a Long range Anti air missile capable of mach 8 and with a range of 320km Sea Dart ASM systems a mach 9 sea skimming missile relying on kinetic impact with a range of around 450km and the Tornado system a ballistic torpedo capable of mach 4 and with a range of around 125km. The Nerine also carries a 75mm automatic railgun for close in defence and for use against close light armoured ships. It also mounts 2 light meson lasers and a dual heavy cascade cannon for point defense. The Nerine AS also carries 40 depth charges to use against enemy submarines in close proximity.

Defences And Amour: The Nerine has medium armour plating to protect it against light cannon fire and close range blasts from ASMs. It also has six decoy launchers for use against small incoming missiles or smart munitions. It also has CIWS capability against enemy munitions in the form of its 75mm automatic railgun, 2 light meson lasers and dual heavy cascade cannons.

Electronic abilities: The Nerine is fully connected to the Union grid and has a full sensor suit and sonar capabilities for spotting air, surface or submerged targets. Its main sensors however are powerful sonar units both towed and on the ship to detect enemy submarines. It also mounts an AI for aiding the crew in taking in information as well as battlefield control.

ECM systems: The Nerine mounts a ECM unit to help obscure lock ons from long range and is designed to increase its surviveability when engaging in combat or when spotted by larger vessels.

Speed: Due to its small size and powerful engine the Nerine can actually achieve an impressive speed of around 60mph over calmer waters when in pursuit but often operates at much lower speeds.
