Other Features:
The Predorvia Class is the first in a new line of Cruisers made for the Battle Doctrine of the Duom Asderaordian Navy with a massive forward tower offering impressive views from both early rangefinders and the mk1 Human eye ball as well as a mounting point for many QF 3-pounder guns to fend off approaching torpedo boats and searchlights to provide assistance in night battle a crucial part of the new battle doctrine. This did however mean the ship was slightly slower due to the massive weight and ballast to help with the stability issues posed for such a large vessel
