This is the Royal Noverran Navy Guided-Missile Destroyer DDG-1 RNN Stalwart. The first Destroyer built for the Noverran Navy during the Altaran War, and the lead ship of her class.

For those that can't read the text, her specs are:
Length (waterline): 452 Feet
Beam: 54 Feet
Draft: 32 Feet

Her sensors include the following:
AN-SPY 1B Tracking radar
an AESA Air/Surface Search Radar
and the ANS-2A Sonar suite.

Her weapons include:
2x Mk45 5in guns
4x 25mm "Seamaster" Autocannons
2x 20mm Phalanx CIWS
8x Harpoon Anti-ship missile launchers
2x 30 cell Vertical Launch Systems, each one capable of being equipped with the AS-1 ASROC, SM-2 Surface to Air Missile, SM-3 Multi-purpose Missile, or LACM-1 Tomahawk in a mission specific mix.
4x Mk32 Torpedo Launchers for close-in Anti-submarine work.

Each ship has space for a single SH-60F Seahawk, and bunks for:
30x Officers
about 10 Warrant Officers
45x Senior Enlisted (E-6 and above)
195x Junior Enlisted (E-0 to E-5)

They also have space for Lynx Dragons, which are small Lynx-sized Dragons that go after rodents and other vermin who like to nibble on power cables or leave gifts in food stores.

The Engines of this ship are four Diesel Turbines pushing out a combined power of 100,500 shaft horse power. Combined with two 5-bladed propellers, the Stalwart-class can cruise at 19 knots, for to full power at 30 knots, and redline at 39 knots. At cruising speed, she can go for about 4400 nautical miles without refueling.

The rear deck, in case anyone is wondering, can be used as an unloading area for helicopters performing UnRep, but can also accept other mission kits, or even depth charge racks.

Spoilers ahead, but if you want to read about the ship yourself, you can do so by picking up a copy of War for the Frontier on KDP, and coming soon to Barnes and Noble.

Now... for spoiler territory: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The need for the Stalwart-class was identified before portal destruction in 2052 when a faction calling itself the Altaran Empire was starting to put submarines to sea known as the Kraken-class. Design studies were conducted throughout 2053 and into 2054 and long-lead items were ordered, and a shipyard planned.

When the Altaran Empire began their global war on Christmas Day 2054, priority was given to put ships in the water that could escort convoys of cargo ships to allied nations. The first of these were the Flower-class Corvettes, named for the corvettes used by the British and Commonwealth during WW2.

Stalwart was laid finally laid down in late 2055 when her slipway was completed, and within days her sister ships Perseus and Steadfast were also laid down.

Stalwart would be completed, christened and launched in early 2056. But by March 2056, the US Sector of the Frontier had chosen to rename itself into Noverra, essentially "New World", and the decision was also made that since they already had a parliament since 2050, that they would choose someone to be a figurehead, a Monarch.

After the Battle of Jersey, it was decided to that the former Atlantean Queen, Manelle Elinette, who was awoken from stasis just a few years prior, would be the Monarch (provided she survived the war).

With Stalwarts completion, and completion of her Sea Trials, Queen Apparent Manelle Elinette would give the ship her first order:

"Sailors of Noverra, board your ship, and bring her to life"

Her daughter, Palli, who was just four at the time, would then grab the microphone, and add "AND GO WIN!"

This then became the ships unofficial motto.

And win she would.

Over the next several months, Stalwart would lead multiple convoys safely across the Atlantic, and engaged multiple submarines with a combination of ASROC, ASW Torpedo's, and Seahawk prosecution.

After the Battle of Gibraltar, Stalwart would go on to provide Naval Gunfire support for other Marine Units operating in the Mediterranean theater, including the invasion of Sicily.

After Sicily, she would go on to fight in the Battle of Malta, where her and her two sisters along with a small flotilla of Flowers would blunt an Altaran effort to relieve their troops in Sicily. The Stalwarts sunk the surface ships that engaged, while the Flowers prosecuted the submarines that tried to slip through.

For the rest of the war, Stalwart would mainly provide NGS, and would survive the war with multiple battle stars.

After the war, she would show the colors at multiple allied ports, would sail as part of the Battle Group for the RNN Eternal Vigilance (Noverras first purpose-built aircraft carrier), be part of the protective fleet for Manelle's Coronation in 2061, and ultimately would be retired and turned into a museum ship, and is berthed just outside the Noverran Palace.

Her sailors would return to the ship one more time when Queen Manelle stepped down, and her daughter Palli Davonger would ride the same motor launch her mother did as part of her Coronation 16 years later. The crew even created a sign that read "Go Win!" that hung off the side of the hull for the event. A small tribute to the one who gave them their second order over two decades before.
