You must always have a knife in the darkness

A joint Project between the Erandian Royal Navy and Journian Naval Forces, the ERN-JNF Musketeer class Destroyer is the first ship in the Erandian navy with the "ATHENA" Combat system.

ERN Oriole in high seas

Designed by the Journia Industry Team with design assistance from Paletta Maritime and built by San Silba Shipyards, the Musketeer was designed as a Anti-aircraft destroyer as a result of the Erandian and Journian navies lack of Anti-aircraft Capability.

Equipment

The Musketeer is equipped with the ATHENA combat system, an integrated naval weapons system developed by Macmillian Dynamics. It uses powerful computer and radar technology to track and guide weapons to destroy enemy targets.

It is also equipped with a Type 2 EWC Unit, the MK83 AESA Radar, a MK82 Phased array surface scan radar as well as LRCSP-3 and SCBPS-7 Processing systems.

Yay collaboration! This build was done with user ProjectVideogame, and I think it's quite a good ship. He built the Hull and most of the superstructure, while I built the frontal superstructure, weapons and details. This build is based off the Atago class Destroyers. I'm quite proud of my ASHROC system, as it appears to be completely unique as no other type of ASROC on the site is similar to it. If you enjoyed it, do slap an updoot!

SPMP fun

The ship is built in a 1:3.5 Scale
