"Cambria" Class

The "Cambria" Class Destroyers or officially defined as SSCD (Ship-to-Ship Combat Destroyers) is a destroyer developed for the BMDF.

These ships will replace the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in the BMDF inventory

Development

Cambria-class destroyers began being designed at the same time as Admiral Elliott-Class destroyers, but the project was shelved due to budget cuts and changing priorities

A few months after the first Admiral Elliott-Class ship was launched, news began to appear in the local press that the Cambria-class ship project was cancelled.

Thereupon, BNDI (Bureau of National Defense Industry) claimed that the project was not canceled with the official letter it published, but rather accelerated.

Two months after this announcement, the first Cambria-class ship was photographed at the Argylion Military Shipyard.

BNDI Chairman Alfred Thomas announced that the first of the Cambria class ships will be delivered to the BMDF on 27.03.2020 in the Joint NAVEX 2020 Exercise.

General characteristics

Firepower:

The ship's main armament is the rather unusual MK-231-32 Cannon.

This ball, which has a special reloading mechanism, can reload itself in 1.5 seconds without a drone.

It is claimed that this cannon is a smaller version of the cannon used in the alleged "Oxtona" Class Warships.

No source has yet said anything about Oxtona class ships, but it is known that the Federation wants to replace or retire its modernized Iowa class warships.

It also carries and uses Crewler Ax Anti-Ship Missile and Crewler ASM-1 cruise missiles on board.

Air Defence
The VLS systems at the front contain precautionary Crewler CADF Medium-range air defense missiles, but apart from these, the ship's medium-altitude air defense is almost non-existent.

The ship can carry 32 first-of-its-kind ASAT (Anti satellite missiles) at the front.

These missiles are the first anti-satellite missiles to be placed on a destroyer and are claimed to be able to intercept ICBMs.

However, sources within the Federation claim that these missiles cannot be used effectively and Crewler CADF missiles will be used instead of these missiles.

In addition, the ship uses the Crewler NALDS system, which is the first laser air defense system to be used effectively on a ship.

There are 5 of these systems on board and it makes the close environment hell for low-flying UAV/UCAV and low-flying aircraft.

-Belgan Federation (It is planned to produce 80 ships)
-New Athuan Navy (15 ships ordered)
-Peoples Navy of Rico

(A special version that cannot use laser systems cannon and ASAT missiles was gifted to the Rico navy with the name "Bolgrad" (Rico's capital).

The relationship between the Federation and Rico dates back to the Rico Military Coup of July 11, 1951. The Federation directly assisted the Junta during the "Free Revolution" revolts after the coup, only 3 months later a Federation Military Base and a UNAPF Radar base in Rico opened

It is known that during this aid, the Rico army killed up to 2,000 civilians, while the Federation soldiers shot 450 demonstrators.

Also, after the coup, Rico officially stopped recognizing the Harral Island Massacre perpetrated by the Federation.

This military base was the Federation's first military base on another continent and greatly strengthened the Federation's hand during the Vera Tension.

It is said by various sources that FRIA directly organized the Coup

These days the Junta in Rico continues, albeit shaky)
