Description
Great War era airfortress ARAS Endeavour at Port Oresung.
General notes (because I know you'll read this Roy )
Endeavour and Valiant in GW configruation have two "Tabour" VHF bedspring air-search radars. They also have "Shekere" S-Band Pillbox radars for fire control, with auxilary short range S-band symmetrical radars mounted on turrets 2 and 3. This would give it much better situational awareness than Andrea of the same era, considered to be the best type at the time, which relied on a single UHF band parrabolic radar for fire control, and a single VHF band bedspring radar for air-search. The ANLU might have been hoping the better electronics would compensate for its difficiencies in other areas... a train of thought still evident in the Long Peace era.

A Long Peace era airship from the same folks a quarter century later.

Fun notes, the Arcean's write spells on their airships as good luck charms or to curse their opponents. They don't take it all terribly seriously.
