The dawn of the Kirov-class saw a proliferation of warships among many states that was unprecedented, as well as renewed interest in the design and composition of ships. While Kirovs were a potent and reliable weapon, their designs were largely hollow and composed of fragile wooden materials. This made them a risky choice for a firefight and better suited for coastal shelling, as one successful hit from an enemy could easily slice the ship in two.
Inspired by the designs of USS Monitor and the ironclad ships of the late 19th century, StalinSenpai set to work on a ship with a lower profile on the water than the prominent Kirov. The new design would have stronger armour plating that was made of stone brick stairs/slabs. This was a cost-effective solution to the fragility problems of the Kirov; the stoneclad ship would be harmed but not rendered incapable by a single torpedo.
The FTS Stonewall was inaugurated on the 25th of January, 2021, as the first stoneclad ship. The ship was met with great interest internationally and propelled the Free Navy from a significant regional player to the most powerful navy in the world. Alarmed, the ship triggered an immediate reaction from the Earth Kingdom who set about building their own stoneclad ships.
Shortly after Stonewall, ENS Omashu was unveiled to the world as the first warship to be designated as a destroyer. With a much larger profile than the Stonewall, the Omashu packs significantly more guns as well as an emergency lower deck. The ship toured the southern sea upon completion and was then declared to be the first of a larger project, which would see 2 new Destroyers built to accompany a final aircraft carrier. These new destroyers, ENS Gaoling and ENS Ba Sing Se (not to be confused with the Kirov sold to Andorra), were completed soon after, bringing the total of stoneclad ships in the world to 4, with FTS M.P.Johnson putting this to 5. The 6th would come in ENS Kyoshi.
