KSS Admiral Winter Flake, nicknamed Die unsterbliche Flocke, was a Battlecruiser designed and constructed by the Kingdom of Equestria for the Equestrian Navy, and currently operated by the Royal Sovereign Navy.

History

The Equestrian Navy proposed an act that will prohibit them in constructing new class of Vessels that will succeed and replace their older ships which were in service for almost 45 years since their commission. The act proposed a construction of 4 new classes of ships which incorporates Destroyers, Cruisers, Amphibious Landing Ships and Battlecruisers each total estimated budget of 790 million Sovereign Currency for creating and testing. The act was approved and the designing of the new classes were authorized. This led to the design of Number 2035,the first concept of Admiral Class. The design were armed with 6x SN Ordnance Mk13 15 Inch Guns in 3 turrets, 2 Dual Anti-Ship Missile Modules, numerous CIWS implacements, Multiple AA Platforms and have a target men of 850-1000. For it's propulsion, it was expected to be powered with steam turbines and have a top speed 35 knots. The ships were designed, not to be used for engaging head on ships, but to be used as fire support ships in times of Amphibious Operations. The design was approved and the construction begins, she was the lead ship of the Admiral Class and was named after Admiral Johanna Winter Flake. Her fighting capabilities were centered around the Millennium Combat Systems but they lack Anti-Submarine weapons. Her construction begins in Late August 2079 and was launched in Early September 2089.
