Pancernik kolonialny

Czas na coś konkretniejszego:) tym razem prezentuję obiecywany od dawna pancernik kolonialny. Z wiadomych powodów nasza stocznia cierpiała na brak mocy przerobowych i budowa ślimaczyła się niemiłosiernie ale wreszcie okręt jest na wodzie. Można powiedzieć że jest to nasz odpowiednik brytyjskich pancerników II klasy (kolonialnych)  typu Centurion, choć nieco od nich mniejszy. Zgodnie z zapowiedziami okręt jest uzbrojony w 4 działa 254 mm i opancerzony nowoczesną stalą Harvey’a. Grubością pancerza i kalibrem dział specjalnie może nie imponuje, ale też nie spodziewam się, by w koloniach musiał walczyć z wrogimi pancernikami I klasy. A wygląda chyba wystarczająco groźnie, by stanowić dobrą demonstrację siły;)
