As Battlge Group Nassau Nears the Rendezvous with the Enemy Fleet who has been Sponsoring these Attacks they Attempt to Match Energy Signals with Known Enemy Variants
A large Signature has been picked up and after much analysis it has been deduced that this ship is a variant of the Leopold Class Heavy Destroyer. While it's a slightly older build it is no less fearsome with Six Massive Guns mounted on a sliding Central Block that can shift away from the direction of travel for an instant and allows the ships targeting computers to get a more precises readout before the salvo is unleashed.
While Officially Retired it Seems at Least One Older Variant is Stalking the Skies
The Engine Thrusters being Placed Above the Reactors is Indicative of this Variant of Leopold
Two Scharnhorst Class Frigates were also Detected which Further adds to the Idea that the Prussian's have Deployed Older Models of Ship to this Area. Initially Designed to Trial the New Turret Configuration of Four Guns Mounted in a Central Turret that pivots on a Central Cylinder.
Fearing the failure of One of the New Turrets The Scharnhorst Class Frigates were also Outfitted with Several Ancient Railguns that Started Life as 6 Gigawatts but have been Dialed down to Only Four to get Extra Life out of them.
The Turret Sports Four Shortened Six Gigawatt Railguns that Fire independently but Rotate as a Single Piece. The System is Designed to Fire Each Gun Individually then Quickly Rotate the Turret to Align the Next Gun and so on. The Turret was Retroactively Named the Scharnhorst Pattern Turret and after Proving itself was Hurriedly Added to General Service Aboard the New Von Zieten Class Light Cruisers.
Among the Frigates and Cruisers Lurk the Menacing Signals of a handful of U-Boats
