Lanzerwaldmarine

The Lanzerwaldmarine is the naval force of the Lanzerwald Republic. It was founded in XV.1751 as the Volksrat decided that the classis that was inherited from the Confoederatio Aemilia was not up to modern standards, mostly consisting of rumours of ghost ships, rather than properly documented modern vessels. At the moment of its foundation, the Lanzerwaldmarine consisted of 2 steam-powered vessels, Mehrzweckzerstörer I.Gen made by Altdorf Schiffbau in 1718 and 1720 respectively. The Volksrat ordered the Lanzerwaldmarine to rebuild the national shipbuilding capacity, but also buy new ships abroad to patch the lack of naval readiness in the short term. Five multi-purpose frigates of the Penninsular-class and several smaller vessels were ordered from Nautholsvik Naval Shipyard from long-term PRIMA ally the United Kingdom of Meckelnburgh.
