BCNS Florianus White is a submarine tender built by the Bronzephoenix Shipyards of Redemption.
Service history
BCNS Florianus White was designed as a submarine tender for the Imperial navy's attack submarines, a role in which it still serves today. The ship spent several years in the early 1990's as the repair ship for Submarine Squadron 4 in Port Elizabeth, tending Kilo and Sierra class boats. Florianus White was temporarily taken over by the short lived Republic of Charvonia, before Blackhelm Confederacy reunited several of the successor states of the Empire of Exponent, and brought the ship into the newly formed Confederate navy. Not long after this, the ship was transferred to the Confederate naval station at Hanaki in the Mare Ferum.

Since arriving in Hanaki, BCNS Florianus White has maintained a relatively peaceful existence, servicing vessels entering Astyria from the northeast as well as tending to the submarines stationed at the base. The vessel has been lucky enough to avoid any major conflict, and is expected to serve on with the fleet for several more years to come.
