Thanks for the responses so far!
A bit of a writeup on the ship's designs.
DD Fenrir class: As expected of a destroyer, it is a fast, nimble, and aggressive design. The armored frontal hull conceals many torpedo launchers.
CL Sleipnir class: Versatile light cruiser design geared toward escort roles. It has numerous defensive turrets and VLS cells. Usually deployed alongside destroyer wolfpacks as support.
CA Meleager class: Heavy cruiser, fast and well armed and protected. Three forward superfiring turrets are inspired by Japanese heavy cruisers like the Takao and Tone class, who has most of their turrets forward. T-Tail hosts many of the ship's sensors and defensive arrays ( I know it's kinda stupid, but it looks cool).
CVE Deianira class: Deianira class fulfills the dual function as a mid-line carrier (with its strikecraft facility) and cruiser (with its not insignificant weaponry) in the Republic Navy. It can provide local CAP and strike capability, and hold its own with a wide array of Gauss, missile, and Spectrum weaponry. In BP terms it is roughly analoguous to the Diomedes.
SC Morpheus class: A veritable digital fortress, Morpheus hosts the primary EWAR and ECCCM mainframes of a Republic CTG. It provides immense 'soft' supporting power to blunt and degrade the enemy's digital battlespace.
CC Medea class: Battlecruisers are deployed as a fast response force, rapidly plugging gaps in defenses or attacking ahead of the main force. It has no fixed-frontal mount, but it has ten rapid-firing Gauss Accelerators in five twin turrets; this rewards fast flanking and circling engagements.
BB Adrasteia class: Inspired by the Yamato-class battleships, particularly with its row upon rows of secondary armament. It's a large, heavily armoured battleship with a defensive orientation. Four centreline turrets houses 508mm gauss/plasma accelerators.
BB Hephaestion class: Fast battleship design, as a counterpoint to Adrasteia it is more offensively orientated. Packs numerous beam cannons for long-range combat, and torpedo launchers for close-range combat.
CVF Hestia class: Fleet carrier, the largest ship in the Cosmo Navy. It anchors entire fleets and provide critical strategic rearline support. Not at all an agile ship, as its shape will have told you, but its command capability is unmatched.
DNV Vritra class: sister class to the Vajra class DN, it is faster and more heavily armoured than the Hestia class, but has smaller strikecraft capacity. As an armoured carrier, it takes advantage of its armored flightdeck design to brings its flight complement to the frontlines where conventional carriers may not survive.
DN Vajra class: To subvert the tropes usually associated with things named 'dreadnought', I made her a swift and sleek looking ship, with back-swept 'wings'. Of course as a dreadnought it is still an extremely well armored and armed ship. The 'eye' is a homage to Gamilas ships and ancient Galleys.
