Just reading through the description. Your new nation is even more ambitious than mine size wise. Populations is a massive increase on Atlantia's yet your standing armed forces aren't all that bigger than mine (reservists not included) what gives?

Then I thought Caledonia keep more for themselves, in the modernere time and have no other plans to go to war. But how large the military was in the old days and how large it will be in the future, is indeed a good question!
(I chose to have a large population, so that I should be able to draw several vessels for the nation.)
But if there is anything you think I should edit or rewrite then just send me a PM with your proposition.

This is one of the older ships in Caledonia. I will certainly come with more.
Gerhard von Heilser class Batch 2
Destroyer

Beam: 16m
Propulsion: Steam (gas?)
Speed: 39,2 knots
Builder: Lisker Naval Shipyard
Armarment
2*twin 135mm canons
4*52mm AA guns
4*20mm guns
Some 12,7mm guns in various places.
MK-29 RIM-7 Sea Sparrow
MK 13 GMLS (RIM-66 Standard 1MR and RGM-84 Harpoon)
2*Lynx
Depth Charges
It was built 10 Destroyers by Gerhard von Heilser class. they were built by Lister Naval shipyard. They were considered among the fastest and among the best armed ships in Caledonia. ships also had very good sailing characteristics.
They have been involved in several actions, everything from providing artillery support with 4 twin 135mm cannons, or defend an aircraft carrier from an air attack.

That is quite a unique looking vessel (class) Exceedingly fast too for something that size.
