Description SNS Observer is apart of the Predator-Class of Destroyers. The SNS Observer is apart of an advanced late-war design that was made to replace the Banshee-Class of destroyers. The ship opted to lessen its armament in favor of a compact, speedy and fuel-efficient design. The ship is extremely fast, and has powerful and accurate guns. The ship class is the first to be equipped with a prototype SPY equipment, This allowed it to perform in a plethora of roles, and made it a multi-purpose ship that could be used for numerous purposes (one of which, was to act as an escort in Carrier groups and to replace the aging Banshee-Class..). 

The SNS Observer participated in numerous spying missions along the borders of hostile nations. It was used to scan out enemy military installations, and mark locations for the Air-force and navy to focus their efforts on. The ship was sunk when it got too close to a large group of advanced under-water mines.

The ship has far more better radar-tracking capabilities, and can detect both naval targets and air-borne targets to a fine degree. It can detect aircraft at a range of up to 32km, and can track with fine accuracy at up to 15,000 meters[15km]. Similarly, it can detect and track enemy naval ships at up to 40,000 meters [40km]. The range of its guns is about 25,000 meters [25km], paired with its GFCS[Gun Fire Control System] it can hit targets with much greater accuracy.

[A/N]Another destroyer, since I felt much like it. I'll probably start making an aircraft carrier, to try and diversify the Scouric navy.

That is correct, it would be unstable. I think I may have wanted to say 12.5 cm instead of inches, which is a mistake on my part. For the weight, I think you are right for it being too little. I’ll make the necessary changes
