Russian Naval Auxiliaries
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've got my fleet and infrastructure posted on my website, but thought it appropriate to post additions here so that people know about them.

These new designs fall into the following categories:
Oilers (4)
Port icebreakers (20)
Mine warfare ships (76), capable of both sweeping and laying.

With the Russian oil industry at Baku enjoying quite a boom, the government of the Russian Federation decided to take advantage both the higher energy content of oil, as well as the reduced crew requirement (no stokers) that oil propulsion provides. Hence, the Russian Federation has sold most of the colliers to commercial shipping lines, while beginning to convert one into an experimental aircraft carrier. In March 1919 the Russian Federation laid down 4 oilers, which began their shakedown cruises in October 1920. They are designed for a relatively high cruising speed, to be able to support the strategic movement of the Fleet. They are based with the Northern Fleet at Murmansk:

Betelgeuse Class Oiler, laid down 1919

Length, 130.0 m x Beam, 20.0 m x Depth, 8.0 m

The Belomore Class port icebreakers are designed to extend the usability of the Gulf of Finland, ports on the White Sea, and along the Pacific coast. While capable of being ocean-going, they lack the power and the mass to be able to clear passage through ice much more than a meter thick.

There are 5 port icebreakers assigned to Border Guards of the Petrograd Military District, with responsibility for facilitating naval and commerical operations on the Gulf of Finland and in the Baltic Sea. There are 10 assigned to the Border Guards of the Arctic Military District, with responsibility for facilitating naval and commerical operations on the White Sea. There are 5 assigned to the Far Eastern Military District, with responsibility for facilitating naval and commerical operations in the Sea of Ohotsk and the Sea of Japan:

if its not too much can you post the infrastructure over here as well. btw i prefer to leave the ships in the design forum or the meeting place.

Hey aowwt

Do you, as moderator, have the ability to move the Indian infrastructure stuff from the Meeting Place to here? Or should I just copy and paste?
