The fat tubs that the Germane battelships are, they're incredibly steady gun platforms, even if their primary armament is quite light by comparison. They have advanced fire control capabilities, as well, making them INCREDIBLY accurate for naval guns. So, with a fast reload speed and high accuracy, Germane Battleships are like fast firing snipers.

Bomst-Class
CLASS NAME:	Bomst	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Bomst (AC-1), Fulda (AC-2), Gotha (AC-3)
SHIP TYPE:	Armored Cruiser	ENGINES:	12 Bloom & Voss Triple Drum Boilers, 4 Porsche Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	4	SPEED:	24.5kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	5 x 2 21cm L/46 (8.25"/46)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	None	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	14 x 1 15cm L/45 casemates (5.9"/45)	MACHINE GUNS:	11 x 2 11mm AA.3
OVERALL LENGTH:	125 meters/410 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	5 Belowdeck, 1 Casemate Deck, 1 Superstructure, 3 Conning Tower	BEAM:	24 meters/78.7 feet	DRAFT:	7.7 meters/25 feet

The Bomst and Thuringria classes are very visually similar, and very close in gun armament, making identification by enemy forces harder. The gun accuracy is still high, as with the Thuringrias, and doctrinally, they support the Battleships.

Hamover-Class
CLASS NAME:	Hamover	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Hamover (SC-1), Kiel (SC-2), Marelin (SC-3), Potsdam (SC-4), Bonn (SC-5), Danzig (SC-6)
SHIP TYPE:	Scout Cruiser	ENGINES:	12 Bloom & Voss Triple Drum Boilers, 4 Porsche Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	4	SPEED:	30kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	4 x 2 17cm L/45 (6.7"/45)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	4 x 2 500mm T3 Oxygen Torpedo	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	10 x 1 15cm L/45 casemates (5.9"/45)	MACHINE GUNS:	11 x 2 11mm MG-3
OVERALL LENGTH:	110 meters/387 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	5 Belowdeck, 1 Casemate Deck, 1 Superstructure, 3 Conning Tower	BEAM:	19.5 meters/64 feet	DRAFT:	7.7 meters/25 feet

Just as fat, the hefty pork knuckles of the Hamover-class are faster than the larger vessels of the fleet, but about the slowest "Scout Cruisers" in NEIGHTO. Germaneigh doctrinally intends these vessels be used to support shore landings, and they have a higher Marine Force compliment than the larger vessels of the fleet, and more boats.

Heimdall-Class
CLASS NAME:	Heimdall	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Heimdall (Z-01), Hagen (Z-02), Beowulf (Z-03), Frithjof (Z-04), Freya (Z-05), Vineta (Z-06)
SHIP TYPE:	Fleet Destroyer ("Zerstorer")	ENGINES:	9 Bloom & Voss Triple Drum Boilers, 3 Porsche Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	3	SPEED:	32kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	4 x 2 15cm L/50 (5.9"/50)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	None	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	2 x 3, 2 x 2 500mm T3 Oxygen Torpedoes	MACHINE GUNS:	8 x 2 11mm MG-3
OVERALL LENGTH:	95 meters/328 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	3/4 Belowdeck, 1 Superstructure + 2 Conning Tower	BEAM:	12 meters/40 feet	DRAFT:	4.1 meters/13.45 feet
TRANSIT RANGE:	1100 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	60 Enlisted, 15 Petty Officers, 10 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	12	NUMBER OF BOATS:	2 x 5 meter launch
The zippy little Zerstorers use conventional engines instead of Fractal Petroleum (Diesel) engines seen on most other smaller vessels in the NEIGHTO combined fleet. The Oxygen Torpedo used by the Germane Navy has a 20% higher top speed than its nearest peer, and comparable mechanical precision, meaning that German torpedo shots are faster and end up being more accurate as less probability of error exists that the target might move from the plotted course.

Eisen-Class
CLASS NAME:	Eisen	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Eisen (SB-001), Kupfer (SB-002), Stahl (SB-003), Bronze (SB-004), Zink (SB-005), Silber (SB-006), Gold (SB-007), Platin (SB-008), Titan (SB-009), Scandium (SB-010)
SHIP TYPE:	Ocean-Going Torpedo Boat ("Schnellboot")	ENGINES:	3 Porsche Fractal Petroleum Engines	SCREWS:	3	SPEED:	37kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	2 x 1 88mm L/56	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	None	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	2 x 4, 2 x 1 500mm T3 Oxygen Torpedoes	MACHINE GUNS:	5 x 2 11mm MG-3
OVERALL LENGTH:	60 meters/196 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	2 Belowdeck + 1 Bridge	BEAM:	9 meters/29.5 feet	DRAFT:	3.5 meters/11.5 feet
TRANSIT RANGE:	500 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	30 Enlisted, 10 Petty Officers, 5 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	None	NUMBER OF BOATS:	None
The Schnellboots of the Germane navy are quite fast compared to the rest of their fleet, and represent the closest adaptation of and "armed racing schooner" of the three major European navies. As such, it has a very light gun armament, and relies on its torpedo compliment to inflict damage. Nimble enough to "chase shell splashes," these Germane naval hot rods can, in an emergency, go to 125% engine output and exceed 41 knots in a short run.

Thuringria-Class
CLASS NAME:	Thuringria	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Thuringria (CV-01), Hesse (CV-02), Posen (CV-03)
SHIP TYPE:	Fleet Aircraft Carrier	ENGINES:	12 Wagner HPWT-FC Boilers, 4 Thyssen Double Reduction Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	4	SPEED:	33.6kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	2 x 2 12.8cm L/50 (5"/50)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	30 x 4 47mm Skoda FlAK	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	None	MACHINE GUNS:	11 x 2 11mm MG-3
AIRCRAFT COMPLIMENT:	30 Messerschmidt ME-105 Strike Planes, 18 Messerschmidt ME-101 Scout/Fighter Planes	FLIGHT CREW:	252 Flight Crew & Staff	ANTI-SUBMARINE ARMAMENT:	None	TORPEDO ARMAMENT:	None
OVERALL LENGTH:	140 meters/459 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	5 Belowdeck, 1 Casemate Deck, 1 Superstructure, 3 Conning Tower	BEAM:	30 meters/98.425 feet	DRAFT:	7 meters/23 feet
TRANSIT RANGE:	2330 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	590 Enlisted, 100 Petty Officers, 40 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	None	NUMBER OF BOATS:	2 x 5 meter launches
Converted into aircraft carriers, the Thuringia-class holds 48 aircraft, putting it on par with most other NEIGHTO carriers. Owing to its width, and the design of the Messerschmidt planes, the Thuringia-class is extremely efficient in its aircraft stowage. It is intended that the carriers operate in pairs, with the third carrier in reserve at home. It has a decent anti-aircraft capability, but relies more on coverage from the rest of the fleet. With the new engines, and a good bit of armor removed (including the entire internal citadel - replaced by an armored flight deck instead), its weight has dropped considerably, and it has a much higher speed as a result.

Duchy-Class ("H-Klasse")
CLASS NAME:	Harnesse-Rhine (Duchy)	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Harnesse-Rhine (BB-04), Austridia (BB-05), Danemark (BB-06)
SHIP TYPE:	Super Dreadnaught Battleship	ENGINES:	24 MAN Diesel engines, 24 Wagner HPWT-FC Boilers, 8 Thyssen Double Reduction Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	4	SPEED:	33kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	4 x 3, 1 x 2 43.2cm L/50 (17"/50)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	20 x 2 12.8cm L/50 (5"/50)	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	30 x 4 47mm Skoda FlAK	MACHINE GUNS:	47 x 2 MG-6 11mm
AIRCRAFT COMPLIMENT:	6 Messerschmidt ME-101 Scout/Fighter Planes	FLIGHT CREW:	64 Flight Crew & Staff	ANTI-SUBMARINE ARMAMENT:	3 x 1 Krupp "Igel" 200mm Anti-Sub Mortar	TORPEDO ARMAMENT:	6 x 533mm Tubes, Mark VI Gyro-Stabilized Torpedo
OVERALL LENGTH:	240 meters/787 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	6 Belowdeck, 5 Superstructure, 3 Conning Tower	BEAM:	42 meters/137 feet	DRAFT:	10 meters/33 feet
TRANSIT RANGE:	3000 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	1800 Enlisted, 255 Petty Officers, 105 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	360	NUMBER OF BOATS:	24 x 5 meter launches, 6 x 12 meter launches
The most massive warship afloat, the H-Klasse mounts powerful 17-inch guns, a massive amount of dual-purpose guns, the powerful and long ranged 47mm Skoda anti-aircraft cannon, and loads of 11mm machine guns for close range defense, with a full squadron of Scout-Fighter planes, and a full Regiment of Marinekampftruppen. This gigantic tub is fully proofed to its own guns, with the citadel spanning from before the forward magazine, aft past the aft magazine, and covering the machine gears all the way to the ends. Sinking something this huge would take an incredible amount of ordnance, especially with its anti-torpedo bulges and double-bottom hull. Its guns are exceptionally high velocity for its caliber, and can easily overmatch anything in Tirek's naval arsenal. The high explosive payload is also impressive, capable of launching a 1361kg (3,000lbs) shell at a velocity of almost 840 m/s (2,750fps), to a distance of up to 66km with a rocket assisted projectile. The "H-Klasse" finally gives 'the good guys' the bigger stick, for once.

TRANSIT RANGE:	2100 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	380 Enlisted, 90 Petty Officers, 20 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	None	NUMBER OF BOATS:	1 x 5 meter launch
Instead of modifying their existing warships, the United Kingdom of Germaneigh constructed all new ones, once they had the backing of the entire Royal polity. Taking notes from the other NIEGHTO partners, they came up with a medium build Heavy Cruiser with an effective AAA armament, and three scout/fighter planes. It is equipped with sonar and torpedoes, but does not have anti-sub weapons. Its primary duty is anti-ship and anti-air.

Prague-Class
CLASS NAME:	Prague (City)	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Prague (CL-01), Hamburg (CL-02), Cologne (CL-03), Vienna (CL-04), Frankfurt (CL-05), Graz (CL-06), Neuremburg (CL-07), Kassel (CL-08), Salzburg (CL-09), Munich (CL-10), Dresden (CL-11), Bremen (CL-12)
SHIP TYPE:	Light Cruiser	ENGINES:	12 Wagner HPWT-FC Boilers, 8 Thyssen Double Reduction Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	4	SPEED:	36.5kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	4 x 2 16cm L/60 (6.3"/60)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	4 x 4 47mm Skoda FlAK	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	14 x 2 MK-1 2cm FlAK	MACHINE GUNS:	None permanently mounted
AIRCRAFT COMPLIMENT:	3 Messerschmidt ME-101 Scout/Fighter Planes	FLIGHT CREW:	32 Flight Crew & Staff	ANTI-SUBMARINE ARMAMENT:	4 x 1 Krupp "Igel" 200mm Anti-Sub Mortar, 3 x "Y-Gun" Depth Charge Launcher	TORPEDO ARMAMENT:	4 x 5 533mm Mark VI Gyro-Stabilized Torpedo
OVERALL LENGTH:	120 meters/394 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	5 Belowdeck, 3 Superstructure, 1 Conning Tower	BEAM:	21.5 meters/70 feet	DRAFT:	6.7 meters/33 feet
TRANSIT RANGE:	2100 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	320 Enlisted, 80 Petty Officers, 20 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	None	NUMBER OF BOATS:	1 x 5 meter launch
The Prague-class Light Cruisers are designed for torpedo attacks, anti-submarine work, and to fend off enemy cruisers. The long barrel, high velocity 6.3-inch guns pack more armor-piercing power than the Equestrian 152mm guns, and can penetrate almost as well as the Roaman 7.5-inch guns. The torpedo compliment makes it a serious threat to any enemy ship its guns can't handle. Unlike the Rotenburg-class Heavy Cruisers, it does not have a rocket-assisted HE shell for shore bombardment, but it does have "dirty" HE shells intended to start fires, packed with a slower burning explosive mixture.

Heimdall-Class (Modernized)
CLASS NAME:	Heimdall	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Heimdall (Z-01), Hagen (Z-02), Beowulf (Z-03), Frithjof (Z-04), Freya (Z-05), Vineta (Z-06)
SHIP TYPE:	Destroyer ("Zerstorer")	ENGINES:	9 Wagner HPWT-FC Boilers, 3 Thyssen Double Reduction Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	3	SPEED:	36.7kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	2 x 2 15cm L/50 (5.9"/50)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	2 x 2 12.8cm L/50 (5"/50)	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	2 x 4 47mm Skoda FlAK, 14 x 2 MK-1 2cm FlAK	MACHINE GUNS:	None permanently mounted
AIRCRAFT COMPLIMENT:	None	FLIGHT CREW:	None	ANTI-SUBMARINE ARMAMENT:	4 x 1 Krupp "Igel" 200mm Anti-Sub Mortar, 3 x "Y-Gun" Depth Charge Launcher	TORPEDO ARMAMENT:	4 x 5 533mm Mark VI Gyro-Stabilized Torpedo
OVERALL LENGTH:	95 meters/312 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	3/4 Belowdeck, 2 Superstructure	BEAM:	12 meters/40 feet	DRAFT:	4.1 meters/13.45 feet
TRANSIT RANGE:	1400 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	66 Enlisted, 16 Petty Officers, 13 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	12	NUMBER OF BOATS:	1 x 5 meter launch
With so many Heimdall-class Destroyers, Germaneigh decided to modify them for flexible duty - either defending the home shores, or participating in fleet actions with the Hochseeflotte ("High Seas Fleet"). They are, however, not the Germane High Command's first choice for this duty. Modifications include removing two of the 15cm guns and replacing them with 12.8cm dual-purpose guns, refining the torpedo armament, adding anti-submarine protection, and replacing the original 11mm machine guns with 20mm autocannon. Germaneigh's move to 20mm autocannons instead of 11mm machine guns based on the EM-4 Browning reflects a greater caution against flying threats, and a desire for more "punch" against extremely small vessels intended for possible suicide missions.

Odin-Class
CLASS NAME:	Odin	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Odin (Z-007), Thor (Z-008), Alcis (Z-009), Saxnat (Z-010), Tuisto (Z-011), Forseti (Z-012), Mani (Z-014), Baduhenna (Z-015), Frigg (Z-016), Lofn (Z-017), Ran (Z-018), Zisa (Z-019)
SHIP TYPE:	Fleet Destroyer ("Flottenzerstörer")	ENGINES:	12 Wagner HPWT-FC Boilers, 3 Thyssen Double Reduction Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	3	SPEED:	37kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	4 x 2 12.8cm L/50 (5"/50)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	3 x 4 47mm Skoda FlAK	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	14 x 2 MK-1 2cm FlAK	MACHINE GUNS:	None permanently mounted
AIRCRAFT COMPLIMENT:	None	FLIGHT CREW:	None	ANTI-SUBMARINE ARMAMENT:	4 x 1 Krupp "Igel" 200mm Anti-Sub Mortar, 3 x "Y-Gun" Depth Charge Launcher	TORPEDO ARMAMENT:	4 x 5 533mm Mark VI Gyro-Stabilized Torpedo
OVERALL LENGTH:	100 meters/328 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	3/4 Belowdeck, 2 Superstructure	BEAM:	12.2 meters/40 feet	DRAFT:	4.1 meters/13.45 feet
TRANSIT RANGE:	1525 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	73 Enlisted, 18 Petty Officers, 14 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	12	NUMBER OF BOATS:	1 x 5 meter launch
The follow-on Odin-class Zerstorers are simply improved Heimdall-class designs, with much the same armament and a new layout. The smokestacks are changed to a different design, but in all respects, it's extremely similar. The difference is, Odin-class Zerstorers have sonar - Heimdall-class vessels don't, and rely on other vessels to spot submarines for them. This extra capability makes them preferred for Fleet duties, or to act as "destroyer flotilla leaders" to the slightly smaller Heimdall-class vessels.

Amsvartnir-Class
CLASS NAME:	Odin	SHIPS IN CLASS:	Amsvartnir (FF-001), Bilskirnir (FF-002), Brimir (FF-003), Fensalir (FF-004), Folkvangr (FF-005), Fornsigtuna (FF-006), Fyrisvallarna (FF-007), Glitnir (FF-008), Noatun (FF-009), Vanaheimr (FF-010), Vingolf (FF-011), Ydalir (FF-012)
SHIP TYPE:	Fleet Frigate ("Flotte Fregatte")	ENGINES:	6 Wagner HPWT-FC Boilers, 3 Thyssen Double Reduction Geared Turbines	SCREWS:	3	SPEED:	35kts
PRIMARY ARMAMENT:	2 x 2 12.8cm L/50 (5"/50)	SECONDARY ARMAMENT:	3 x 4 47mm Skoda FlAK	TERTIARY ARMAMENT:	12 x 2 MK-1 2cm FlAK	MACHINE GUNS:	None permanently mounted
AIRCRAFT COMPLIMENT:	None	FLIGHT CREW:	None	ANTI-SUBMARINE ARMAMENT:	4 x 1 Krupp "Igel" 200mm Anti-Sub Mortar, 3 x "Y-Gun" Depth Charge Launcher	TORPEDO ARMAMENT:	2 x 5 533mm Mark VI Gyro-Stabilized Torpedo
OVERALL LENGTH:	75 meters/245 feet	NUMBER OF DECKS:	3/4 Belowdeck, 2 Superstructure	BEAM:	11 meters/36 feet	DRAFT:	4.1 meters/13.45 feet
TRANSIT RANGE:	1250 nmi	TOTAL CREW:	58 Enlisted, 12 Petty Officers, 10 Officers	MARINE DETACHMENT:	None	NUMBER OF BOATS:	1 x 5 meter launch
These smaller vessels are designed specifically to guard the Capital Ships of the Germane fleet from both aircraft and submarines, as well as small vessels of around its size and smaller (like Patrol-Torpedo Boats), from close range attack. They have sonar to detect subs, and a good AAA suite to defend against aircraft. When forced to engage larger vessels, it does have torpedoes, and its 12.8cm DP gun is as effective as the Equestrian 5-inch gun against warships (though notably better against aircraft).
