History

Pre Construction
The Glodeni was an Utepa Class Pre-Dreadnought/Second Class battleship built in Britain for the Free Eastern Europe (FEE) Forces. The Glodeni was designed by Adam Plomien, a Polish/Lithuanian Naval officer, who was a Vice Admiral in the Russian Baltic Fleet. After Adam retired in 1866 he joined the FEE and was sent to Britain with an English Speaking Ambassador, there he took up the English language and joined the British Navy for 3 years until 1872. He then took up the engineering and being the Admiral for the FEE (which at this time had 17 ships, mostly light ships, in it's navy.) Adam then designed the Utepa and the Goldeni in 1879. The two ships were originally supposed to have one turret, with one 8in gun, as an artillery ship, but the ships of the UK and USA outclassed the Utepa and Goldeni so they were remade into true Second class Battleships.

Construction
By the time of the revisions, the hull for the Utepa had been layed down, but the Goldeni hadn't started yet. And the construction of both ships went relatively unchallenged.

War of 1880
In 1879, the Utepa and Goldeni were transferred to the, FEE Naval Forces, disguised as the cargo ships Lódz and Vilnius. From there the FEE started the 1880 war with support from Germany and Britain. The Glodeni fought at St. Petersberg, bombarding it for 3 days. Meanwhile the USS Texas (which was sold to Russia, and became known as Moscow.) was in port at Archangelesk, ready to fight the Goldeni. The Glodeni, after three days of bombarding St. Petersburg, made it's way too the city of Archangelesk. As the Glodeni was sailing north of Norway, the Moscow and the Glodeni met, and exchanged rounds, before the Glodeni got a lucky shot and blew the magazine of the Moscow up, sinking her.

Spanish-American war
In 1887 Emin Pasha of the newly founded KPL, found the American colony Emin Pashaia, (located in Jamaica, because the Brits never took control of Jamaica in my lore.) Adam Plomien was also sent to Emin Pashaia with the Goldeni. There the Spanish tried to take Emin Pashaia as a naval base to fight the USA. They failed and the Poland beat Spain in a quick Victory
