[color=black][font=futura]The [b][i]Royaume[/i] class[/b] is a class of [url=]super-dreadnought[/url] currently being built for the [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1746974]Commonwealth Navy[/url] since the 1920's. A total of four ships were ordered in 1920 in response to the naval rearmament of several of the Commonwealth's neighbors. The [i]Royaumes[/i] were based on a multitude of unbuilt designs from the Five Years' War that were modernized with technologies of the era with a more powerful battery of 406 mm (16 in) guns. Due to the turboelectric propulsion of the [i]Royaumes[/i], the general arrangement of turrets and superstructure of the battleships differed much from the previous [url=][i]Sainte Anabelle[/i] class[/url]. The main battery was placed in four quadruple turrets, with the funnel towards the aft of the ship to accomodate the turboelectric shafts.[/font][/color] [center][table=plain][tr][td] [/td][/tr][/table][/center] [font=timesnewroman][b][u][color=#ffad04][size=150][anchor=Oper][/anchor]Ships in Class[/b][/u][/size][/color][/font] [hr] [center][table=noheader] [tr] [td][background-block=#cccccc][color=#000000][font=timesnewroman][b]Ship Name[/b][/font][/color][/background-block][/td] [td][background-block=#cccccc][color=#000000][font=timesnewroman][b]Hull No.[/b][/font][/color][/background-block][/td] [td][background-block=#cccccc][color=#000000][font=timesnewroman][b]Builder[/b][/font][/color][/background-block][/td] [td][background-block=#cccccc][color=#000000][font=timesnewroman][b]Ordered[/b][/font][/color][/background-block][/td] [td][background-block=#cccccc][color=#000000][font=timesnewroman][b]Laid Down[/b][/font][/color][/background-block][/td] [td][background-block=#cccccc][color=#000000][font=timesnewroman][b]Launched[/b][/font][/color][/background-block][/td] [td][background-block=#cccccc][color=#000000][font=timesnewroman][b]Commissioned[/b][/font][/color][/background-block][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman][i]Queen Hermine I[/i][/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]B24[/font][/color][/td] [td=r2][color=black][font=timesnewroman]Armurerie de Fer Noir[/font][/color][/td] [td=r4][color=black][font=timesnewroman]5 February 1920[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]11 February 1921[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]18 August 1924[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]19 December 1924[/font][/color][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman][i]Queen Catherine II[/i][/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]B25[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]13 March 1921[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]21 September 1924[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]28 January 1925[/font][/color][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman][i]Queen Renée III[/i][/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]B26[/font][/color][/td] [td=r2][color=black][font=timesnewroman]Armurerie de la Montagne Noire[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]22 October 1922[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]5 April 1926[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]19 September 1926[/font][/color][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman][i]Queen Renée IV[/i][/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]B27[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]1 March 1923[/font][/color][/td] [td][color=black][font=timesnewroman]18 September 1926[/font][/color][/td] [/tr] [/table][/center] [font=timesnewroman][b][u][color=#ffad04][size=150][anchor=Liv][/anchor]Liveries and Variants[/b][/u][/size][/color][/font] [hr] [center][table=plain] [tr] [td][font=timesnewroman][b][i]Royaume[/i] class as designed[/b][/font][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][img]https://i.imgur.com/uMWDKMc.png[/img] [font=timesnewroman]RCN [i]Queen Hermine I[/i] (B24)[/font][/td] [/tr] [/table][/center] [hr] [font=futura]Credit to Armoured Man for the shipbucket drawing.[/font]
