You can't put "various artists" as the author credit for FD scale stuff - you must list each author involved individually.

11 January 1931

More warships to fill up the Antaran shipyards


It was only three months before when a new series of Antaran light cruisers began construction, all of which are complete, now once again the shipyards are full, this time by a similiar looking heavy cruiser design. Laid down days after the previous Danica class cruisers, the Isabella class is notably larger, obviously so in order to carry the much larger 203mm guns.

Isabella mounts three dual mounted 8" inch turrets, twelve single 5" secondaries and four triple 610mm torpedo launchers, with possible reloads. She boasts a top speed of 30 knots, however it's exact specifications are unknown. 10 ships are set to be constructed for the class over the next few months. Compared the last heavy cruiser design, Isabella has less forepower in exchange for thicker armor and higher top speed.

October 1912
Marxist Commonwealth gets its first battleships
In october 1912, after two years of intense building, Marxists first BBs are about to enter service. All three ships of Felix Dzerzhinskiy-class, originally designed as battlecruisers, succesfully passed the trials.
Felix Dzerzhiskiy-class features three modern dreadnoughts, named after our fellow communist comrades: Felix Dzerzhinskiy, Mikhail Frunze and Sergo Orjonikidze. Though having relatively small displacement of 16 700 tons (standard), they can easily fight with any modern battleship.
End of newspaper article

Parameters:
Length x Beam x Draught, m: 180x25x9
Displacement, t: 16 673 (standard), 17 506 (full load)
Main armament: 3x3 12" guns
Secondary armament: 16 6" guns
Main belt: 178 mm/7 inch
Belt armor: 30-45 mm
Engine: turbines, direct drive, 43 790 h.p.
Maximum speed: 25 knots

16 January, 1931-The Talian navy's program kicks off!

[ img ]

-In 1930, the Talian government authorized huge amounts of additional naval funding, which in the early stages went towards the construction of minor units like tugs, fleet tenders, harbor vessels, submarines, gunboats, and in this case, patrol craft. The new design for the G-30 class boats was intended to provide a cheap, modular combatant that could be built in huge numbers and used for various mission roles. These roles included fire support, laying mines, coastal defense and trade interdiction, and escort/protection duties. They were very experimental in that the Talians were trying to give missions normally carried out by vessels like destroyers and cruisers onto a hull the size of a speedboat. They proved effective under certain circumstances, especially if they were in smooth seas and not facing destroyers. The initial construction plan called for up to 750 units, but that was cut back to about 500. 50 boats were to be armed with two 12.7-mm machine guns for coastal patrol and colonial duties, 50 boats were built with two barbettes for twin 13.2-mm AA guns, while 200 torpedo and 200 minelayer versions were constructed. The minelayer boats had room for 18 mines, which could be either ASW charges or stationary ground mines for use against surface targets. The initial 25 torpedo craft carried a single rotating 1 x tube mount for 17.7-inch fish, but this was deemed ineffective and swapped for a more effective twin 17.7-inch mounting. This was used in the rest of the class, and proved effective in calm seas. It was underpowered, however, compared to the twin 21-inch mountings or triple 17.7-inch launchers used in later, larger classes. In total, around 25 were deployed in the Red Sea, while 10 more were based in Tsingtao. The Red Sea anchorage had 10 minelayers, 5 AA craft, and 10 torpedo boats. The entirety of the MG-Armed batch was deployed in the Mediterranean, as were the remainder of the AA craft. In Tsingtao, there were 8 torpedo boats and 2 minelayers. In 1940, 4 new torpedo boats arrived along with 1 AA boat and 2 MG boats, transported either by steamer or long range heavy floatplane. They provided active service throughout 1940-41, their most intense period of combat as they held on until better torpedo boats could be produced. Their engagements included mining the area between Turkey and Cyprus, sinking Allied evacuation craft in Crete, and convoy/ASW missions against Malta. In total, around 275 of the class were lost in combat, the rest remained in service to form a significant part of the post-war Talian naval force, being replaced in the 1960's. 15 were sold to Turkey, another 5 to Egypt, and 14 to Brazil. The standard Talian versions were propelled by a 50-horsepower 4-cylinder engine, with gave them a speed of up to 50 knots or better.

After the treaty of Versailles created the state of Poland at the end of WW1, the poles looked to their neighbors in fear. Having just broken away from the USSR, Finland and Estonia urged the Scandinavian Union to admit Poland. In 1925, Poland officially joined the Scandinavian Union.

The Scandinavian Union was formed in 1915 by the states of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in order to stay neutral in WW1, but to defend themselves if attacked. After the Russian Revolution, the new state of Finland was invited to join the union. Finland officially joined in May of 1919. Finland then convinced the Scandinavian Union to admit the state of Estonia in November of 1919. Poland, now free from Germany and Russia, looked for protection and neutrality. The Finnish and Estonian states announced that they would support admission of Poland in February of 1920. In March of 1920, Poland was admitted to the Scandinavian Union.

The Scandinavian Union decided that in the near future they would focus on the combination of their militaries into a single, strong, defensive force. This is in accordance with a conference that marks the beginning of the "Golden Spring". The March 20, 1926, conference took place in Helsinki, Finska. The six leaders of the SU met to reaffirm their devotion to defensive neutrality. The King of Noreg gave a speech three days later,"The goal of the Scandinavian Union was originally a defensive pact between three Nordic nations in the Great War. It has now become so much more. We are now a beacon of safety, security, and neutrality". On April 3 1926, another council meeting was held. On the 16, as a follow-up, the PM of Sverige made a speech, declaring "the Scandinavian Union will be a safe haven for any and all European states who are too small, or who are too weak to stand against the empires surrounding us". On May 2, the Finnish PM made a speech, in which he said "No one should be forced to stand alone against the greed and gluttony of these empires elsewhere in the world. I will personally not abide". This was the Golden Spring of 1926.

On December 21, 1926, the day of midnight in Finska, the leaders of the states of Bohemia and Raksuco met with the council of the Scandinavian Union. From December 21 to December 24, the leaders, delegates, and consuls met with their SU counterparts. On the day after Christmas, December 26 1926, Bohemia and Raksuco joined the Scandinavian Union, out of fear of being conquered.
