Destroyers

[Desertfox]

The oldest and largest class of destroyers in the NSN, the Fritz class DDs have given valuable service over the years. They are currently due for a reffit.

25 built, ALL SUNK/SCRAPPED

Fritz class, New Switzerland Destroyer laid down 1891

[Desertfox]

10 of these where bought in the great ACM ship sale in 1900. They where updated in 1902 with NSN weapons.

10 Bought, ALL SUNK/SOLD

Mendez class (ex-T40), New Switzerland (ex-ACM) Destroyer laid down 1893 (Engine 1907)

[Desertfox]

During the Spanish-Swiss War a number of Spanish warships defected, among them where these 5 destroyers. They where rebuilt in 1903 with NSN weapons.

5 defected, ALL SUNK

Garcia class (ex T-2), New Switzerland (ex-Spain) Destroyer laid down 1897 (Engine 1905)

[Desertfox]

16 of these where bought from the CSA in 1900, they where rebuilt with NSN weapons. Their 29kts make them the fastest ships in NS service.

16 bought, ALL SUNK/SOLD

Fisher class (ex-TR-96), New Switzerland (ex-CSA) Destroyer laid down 1896 (Engine 1905)

[Desertfox]

Originaly 13 of this class where built, however they were heavily used during the Asian Wars and 9 failed to return. The remainder, most with battle damage where rebuilt to "Black Cat" status. The rebuilt gave them electric "creeping" motors, experimental wakeless torpedoes, flashless gunpowder, flash suppresors, spark screen, paravanes, cut down hull, special low visibility paint, and other goodies. They form a special squadron tasked with non-existant missions, and are officialy listed as MIA.

Johann Wys class (Black Cats mod), New Switzerland Destroyer laid down 1899 (Engine 1905)

Saw considerable action during the 2nd Pacific War, approximately 15 lost.

[Desertfox]

Another new destroyer design. These are based on the Zionite Lavis, with minor changes. These ships are designed specificlly to operate in the enclosed waters of the East Indies, which is reflected in their short range, low seakeeping, and shallow draft. They can also carry 50 tons of mines and have minesweeping equipment as standard.

Pic is for the Zionite ships, but these will look virtually identical.
