City class

The City class was a class of coastal ironclad warships constructed and operated by the Imperial Charisian Navy.

Design
Unlike other classes of ICN ironclads meant to operate in inland waterways and rivers, the City class possessed a definite superstructure setback a few feet from the outer edge of their hulls at deck level and only a single smokestack. Instead of gunports, the deckhouse that extended for three quarters of their length had scalloped sides that housed twenty-two breech-loading cannon behind rounded shields, cannon that were able to launch six-inch, sixty-eight pound explosive shells to extreme ranges of six thousand yards at twice the speed of sound with the aid of axial telescopic sights. Additionally, the cannon in either broadside could be used in a single concentrated broadside or half their number could be maneuvered to fire forward or backwards along her center line, allowing ships of the class to engage targets ahead or behind them without needing to turn to present their full broadside.
