IVS Victorious

Requested by KingWillhamII
It is described as a 61km/h (33knot) Fortresship (basically fast battleship or battlecruiser) of the Royal Vextherian Navy-

It is heavily based on the Royal Navy's M2 type battleship design which itself was the predecessor of the N3, then Nelson (O3) class battleships. By RN standards I would call this design S2/3.

Camouflague pattern provided by the requester.

It is specified that she should reach 33knots or 61km/h, but to reach that speed she needs such an enormous powerplant (231.000shp) that could not be fitted on this hull but even with reduced speed to 32 knots (188.00shp) the simulator gave me problems with wetness and seaworthiness! So in the end result the speed reduced to 31,2knots
