The Einridge class was a pair of heavy cruisers operated by the RNVN. They are the last all gun cruisers of the RNVN and were retrofitted during the outbreak of the Great World War.

Designed to replace the previous Suvner class, six ships were planned but only two ships were completed. The general design of the Einridge is an enlarged Suvner class with quadruple gun mounts instead of the triple mounts found on Suvner. Aside from the main armament of twelve 8” guns, the Einridge has a secondary armament of 5” dual purpose guns, and with 3” and 20mm guns for anti-air. The class also comes equipped with 10 torpedo tubes, although were rarely used due to lack of enemy ships. Displacing in at over 25,000 tons, they are one of the heaviest cruisers during the war and were crewed by 1,800 officers and enlisted. The two ships saw little use during the First Continental War, although they were used extensively during the Great World War as convoy escorts, amphibious support ships, nighttime raids, and other operations which made use of the ships armaments and capabilities. Both ships, the Einridge and the Forendam were decommissioned and scrapped 30 years after their introduction.

Finally, my first heavy cruiser done in my typical, inefficient build style. Since the lag wouldn’t allow me to play her properly, and to save on a few parts, I removed the cannon parts on the 8” and 5” turrets, so they’re just for show. The catapult probably took most of my time.

Sorry for the rushed description it's 3 in the morning and I want to sleep.

Enjoy
