Shipyards Be Churning

In the shipyards and factories of Croscaunt, engineers, designers and other workers were scurrying about. In the middle of a massive drydock sat the lightly snow-covered hull of what would soon become the Coast's third battleship. Barrels of the various guns were being assembled and mounted onto the hull, as painters were soon to be finished with painting the underside of the hull. It wouldn't be long until it would become ready to launch.

In the other drydocks, various smaller ships were also being prepared to launch as a compliment to the battleship. One cruiser, 2 destroyers and 3 corvettes would be launched at the same time. Alongside this, the Coast's first ever naval pre-dreadnaught would be launched, to finally begin the modernization of the Coast's current wooden fleet of ships.

In the skies, the second Dominion-class battleship floated, watching over its sister ship being put together. Alongside it were 2 cruisers and 3 other destroyers, guarding the slumbering behemoth. This was the current extent of the Pirate aeronavy, with the exception of 2 other cruisers docked at Gulabria alongside the first Dominion-class battleship known as the Black Panther, and 3 corvettes and 2 destroyers, and with the last destroyer currently transporting Pirate Lord Silverstry to the nation of Blaiche.

Soon, the Brotherhood of the Broken Coast would have multiple new vessels to conduct operations with.
