A gift fot ConfuseACat!

AU Profile - The Ningpo-class were an enlargement on the earlier Dingyuan-class, constructed in German yards for the resurgent Qing Dynasty in the 1890s to bolster the Beiyang Fleet. The ironclads gave admirable service despite the limited roles given to them by the Qing naval administration, and remained commissioned even after being supplanted by newer ships in front line roles.

Hey, that's me! I'm flattered that you've still thought of me even a couple of years since my last post. Makes me feel like I should get back on MC and build another ship!

I love a good ironclad, there's something brilliant about that period in warship history where you don't quite know what a designer is going to do - such diverse designs and they're all so interesting. All those innovations crammed into about a 30-40 year period to go from steam-engined wooden ships, all the way to pre-dreadnoughts where things got fairly standardised again.

You've got a good take on it, looks like it would fit right in around 1880 or so.

I'm glad you like it! I'd actually love to play with more Victorian-era warships, for exactly the same reasons you mention~ I actually have one more ship for you, by the by. Since they're both small, I thought this year, I'd make you a twofer. :D
