Description
Severstal corp. town is a collection of Cold-war and late 20th century era warships in the Laptev strait, in Siberia.
Several ships are on display- the 'Gremyashchy', a Sovremenny class, Project 956 Sarych guided missile destroyer and 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 named after it. Claiming the town fully was not possible when about half of the ship 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 anti-ship and anti-aircraft guided missile destroyer. It is based off a real life ship of the same name. It is currently pending the completion of the submerged portions of its hull. 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.
Like the Gremyashch, 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.
