The smallest ship of the Skypark Fleet series, this ship was a challenge to get right. The system for steering that I have discovered kept refusing to work at all, trying to make missiles work at this scale, and having an affective gun where some of the issues that(eventually) where resolved in the creation of this ship.

Iroquois-class destroyers, also known as Tribal class or DDG 280 class, were a class of four helicopter-carrying, guided missile destroyers of the Royal Canadian Navy. The ships were named to honour the First Nations of Canada.

The Iroquois class are notable as the first all-gas turbine powered ships of this class. Launched in the 1970s, they were originally fitted out for anti-submarine warfare, using two CH-124 Sea King helicopters and other weapons, while their Mk III RIM-7 Sea Sparrow anti-air missiles were sufficient only for point defense. A major upgrade programme in the 1990s overhauled them for area-wide anti-aircraft warfare with the installation of a vertical launch system for Standard SM-2MR Block IIIA missiles.

Due to their extended service lives, the Iroquois-class destroyers were used in a variety of operational roles. They served as flagships for NATO's maritime force, deployed as part of United Nations and NATO forces in the Adriatic, Arabian and Caribbean seas and Atlantic and Indian oceans. The destroyers also performed coastal security patrols and search and rescue missions nearer to Canada.

One was sunk in a live-fire exercise in 2007, two more were decommissioned in 2015 and the last in 2017.

Controls

• Throttle for thrust.
• Yaw for steering
• Trim to rotate gun
• VTOL to elevate gun

Notes

• This ship is heavier then intended due to the gyro based steering system needing more weight
• This this the first ship of the series to be armed.
• Due to how problematic this ship was during building, don't expect any other ships this small in the future.
