The Paraskeva-class light cruiser is a class of 60 light cruisers built throughout WWII, and all named for Orthodox Christian saints. The cruisers had exceptionally long service lives, with the last one retiring only in 2017. 7 of the ships are preserved. Also, there were the 5 Silouan-class aircraft cruisers, active from 1942 to 2022. 15 were built for Galaxandria. Displacement: 12,000 tons Armament: x4 torpedo launchers (4 per launcher), x2 8-inch gun turrets (3 per), depth charges Built from: 1936-45 Speed: 25 knots Aviation capabilities: Yes, can carry 2 seaplanes Ships (incomplete): ANS Paraskeva: Lead ship, 1936-86, preserved ANS Peresvet: 1936-85, seized by Microstate of Perry in 1987, retired 1998 ANS Gerasimos: 1937-87, seized by Perry in 1988, retired 2017 and preserved. Best known for its actions in the Pacific War and under the Perry command. During the Pacific War, it was used in support of US forces, participating in the battles of Midway, Savo Island (damaged), Guadalcanal, Leyte Gulf, Okinawa, and Samar (engaged the Japanese battleships, damaged). After WW2’s end, the vessel was kept in commission due to the potential threat of the Sverdlov-class cruisers. On May 8, 1956, the Gerasimos’s crew sighted the Soviet cruiser Admiral Senyavin during a Pacific operation. A brief engagement occurred, with the Aquillian cruiser victorious. The ship became a cultural icon, and saw heavy service in the Cold War. The vessel was decommissioned in 1979 and planned to be converted to a museum, but President Willermah declared that the ship should be scrapped, to much controversy. In 1986, the ship was towed away, but seized by the forces of Perry. The vessel was restored and recommissioned, serving in many engagements in its days there. It was used to capture or sink 44 ships. The ship was decommissioned in 2017 and preserved henceforth.
