Class of 6:

Maki
Tupoupou
Terehu
Aihe
Upokohue
Iheihe

The first class of ships to be built under Maoria's new policy of openness; essentially they're repeat Makos.

[Borys]

Ahoj!
Could you draw that?
I'd love to see those 16 three incher in two storey arrangement on each side.
Borys

[Valles]

The Mako class has the same secondary battery... but yeah, I'm planning to draw all of the Maori's ships eventually.

[Valles]

Behold! Pictures!


Maki class, as promised.


And the Wahaketoke class, which mutated under the pen as I got a better look at how they were put together.

[Carthaginian]

Wow...
The prolific anti-TB guns made a few of my destroyer skippers pee in their pants when they were handed the new sketches for their recognition manuals. They already 'rechristened' the Mako class as the Porcupine and the Wahaketoke as the Briar Patch.

[Borys]

The word "hedgehog" did cross my mind ...
Borys

[Tanthalas]

Italian Comanders remarked on the old Phalanx Infantry formation...

[Sachmle]

And the NUS is remineded of the fight to unify the former colonies across the Andes, where there seemed to be something shooting out of every crack in the mountain.

[Valles]

The comparison to a phalanx is quite apt. A schiltron would be an even better one. ^_^

Not having any useful ones to benchmark with themselves, the Maori tend to take torpedoes and torpedo-boats very seriously.

What they'll do once I'm allowed to build turreted secondaries will be worse, though.

Muahahahahaha!

[Tanthalas]

LOL dont get them started... I already tryed to build Dante... Mostly cause I wanted somthing Wierd ^.^

[Valles]

Dante?

Anyway, I don't think weird is the word. There are real examples of what I'm planning in service today, after all.
