Another one of my long forgotten vessels finally presentable. (started ~May 2017, forgotten since 1st September 2017)
Having lost the Cardinal in the Battle of the Five fleets, replacement was needed. With the funds available, it was quickly decided that another frigate, maybe a bit faster and lighter, would be needed to replace it. Farrucio Paraja quickly came up with a design; due to various delays a sistership of the Cardinal itself had been finished much faster then the new vessel. Now, half a year later, the delays have been resolved and the vessel been finished. Now that its done, it is time to head out to hunt pirates...
To load more cargo, the ships boats had to be dropped off.
Lots of various pieces of cargo were being loaded aboard the vessel.
Quick overview over the whole vessel:
Fishing issues, already noted a couple days ago, popped up once again.
With most cargo loaded, it was time to load the small boats - 5 of them, if we ever need to get to any island with the whole crew it would certainly be possible.
Waving goodbye:
