A Providence-class Block II light cruiser. She is the most powerful surface combatant in the Pilotmario Navy, with its 6-inch rapid-fire autoloader cannons capable of firing 15 rounds a minute per gun. For close-range defense, she has three 20mm individually-directed autocannons. For long-range strike, she has 12 Seagull missiles at the stern. For air defense, the autocannons can target air units, although the ship has a Skysweeper Basic anti-aircraft misssile system.
The Royal Love, named after the ship which brought the first Pilotmarian settlers to Lesser Paternia, is one of five Providence-class cruisers. She represents the firepower that the Pilotmario Navy is capable of delivering, and has been extensively used since their launch 40 years ago.

I've got the Endurance for that. @DragonAerotech
@Pilotmario Maybe she needs an AA defense destroyer escort design? Hmm just a thought...
@DragonAerotech lol. The AA defense system only protects from the front.
@Pilotmario Okay, it's official, this thing gets me in too much trouble. The destroyers seem to take offense to this thing lobbing rockets at them for some reason or other. XD Her anti-air defenses can't quite knock down their missiles so I made a rather large explosion when their missiles picked off the rangefinder tower/canopy and set off my missile battery. It was actually kind of funny how high the canopy shot into the sky!! XD They cheat, I say, they cheat!! ^_~
@Pilotmario Darn you're fast! I'll have to take notes on operating procedures unfortunately though! lol I wish they'd give us CG9 & 0. I wound up having to use CG8 as well on my first ship build. I should post an "in progress," on her.
@AlphaOneIndustries Can't wait to see it!
holy sugar honey iceacream tomato!
@AlphaOneIndustries It's only a light cruiser. I should mention those 152mm guns have some special ammunition. They have HEAT shells for engaging armored targets, proximity fused shells for anti-aircraft purposes, and can fire Dolphin anti-ship missiles form the guns, capable of hitting ships 150 miles away, and has a HEAT charge to punch through thick armor.
@Pilotmario Okay.
@SimpleTechAndResearch Unfortunately so. I found the hinge rotator extremely useful for the gun positions. It allowed me to keep their form without significantly altering their shape. I'm sure these parts will make it to mobile in a few months, since Apple has very stringent policies regarding what can be uploaded to the app store, and they don't have a large army of censors to do this.
Beta.... Again
@DragonAerotech I finally got off my lazy butt and made a cruiser that works. It floats.
