Description

Severstal Yard is a collection of Cold-war and late 20th century era warships in the Laptev strait, in Siberia. This town serves as the HQ of the ship building company of the same name, and serves as a gallery for some of the builds that can be contracted.

To request a build, contact Cheeseknife via discord or /mail send. To date, four ships have been made for foreign clients- 1 in former Salekhard, 2 in Siam and 1 in South Korea.

Several ships are on display- the 'Gremyashchy', a Sovremenny class, Project 956 Sarych guided missile destroyer, the 'Yerevan', a Kiev-class, Project 1143 Krechyet heavy aviation cruiser, and a Project 705 Lira attack submarine.

History

On April 24 2018, the first ship (Gremyashchy) was built, and the town was initially named after it. Fully securing the town fully was not possible when about half of it could not be claimed due to its proximity to the town of Vangash. Thankfully, moderator :Syn: very helpfully world edited slightly to the north to prevent it from interfering with Vangash's claims, even refunding wasted gold from the town's initial creation. For this reason, Syn was awarded the Order of Ushakov, 1st class for indispensable service to the town. Syn recieved the order and citation on 11 July.

The first ship to be built, 'Gremyashchy', is a Sovremenny class, Project 956 Sarych guided missile destroyer. It is based off a real life ship of the same name. The ship is used for agricultural production and storage.

Construction of the second ship, 'Yerevan', a Kiev-class, Project 1143 Krechyet heavy aviation cruiser, was started in early May 2019 and completed in July. The Yerevan holds a massive leather producing facility.

Like the Gremyashchy, Yerevan is also a 1:1 scale build. The ship’s name is fictional, though follows the naming convention of the four real existing Kiev class aviation cruisers- Minsk, Kiev, Novorossiysk and Baku, being named after cities in former SSR states.
