Adapted from the German Bremen class with Inca guns.

Featuring an armored deck and belt armor, this gives the ship the room to
put the engines and magazines under the deck.

Unfortunately that means the armor is only proof against light weapons and non-AP rounds.

1 underwater bow tube, 2 tubes on each broadside, 18 torpedoes 18" : 36t
4 single tubes on deck : 8t
LR Radio : 25t

Void reserve : 100t
