The Scáthach-class battleship is a class of guided-missile battleships, built for and serving with the Royal Ossorian Navy (RON) starting in 2007. The class was the second class of guided-missile battleship built by the RON and the first Ossorian battleship class to be outfitted exclusively with missiles as its primary armament.
Design
General characteristics
The Scáthach-class ships have an overall length of 262 m, a beam of 32 m, and a draught of 10 m. Each of the class' four steam turbines drive a single 5-bladed Variable-pitch propellers and are powered by a pair of LFTRs and are rated at 215,000 shaft horsepower. This gives ships of the class a reported speed in excess of 30 knots.
Sensors
The Scáthach-class ships were designed and built around the Caer Warfare System and its omni-directional active phased array radar.
Armament
- Eleven 30 mm close-in weapon systems for use against close-in surface and airborne targets; with eight mounted around the superstructure, one fore, and two aft.
- Two batteries of vertical launch systems totaling 32 cells designed to fire the Móralltach anti-ship missile against standoff-range surface targets, with one battery of 16 cells each mounted fore and aft of the superstructure.
- Two batteries of vertical missile launchers totaling 256 cells capable of launching a variety of surface-to-air missiles, surface-to-surface missiles, and anti-submarine missiles for use against standoff-range airborne, surface, and subsurface targets, with one battery of 160 cells mounted on the foredeck and a second battery of 96 cells mounted on the afterdeck.
Aviation
The Scáthach-class ships are outfitted with a helicopter hangar and a flight deck on the stern and are capable of operating two helicopters. The ships are additionally outfitted with the launch and retrieval system for a set of five reconnaissance UAVs.
