Description

The H-60 is a Hosh battleship constructed in 1945 and is currently one of the three only serving battleships in any navy in Libertas. After the end of the Great War and the signing of the Winter Treaty of 1945, large restrictions were placed upon the Hosh Empire. The armed forces was effectively restricted to only possessing a military capable of self-defense, and it was not permitted to possess full carriers. 

Fortunately, due to the new found belief that battleships are outdated and useless, the Hosh were permitted to keep their last remaining battleship, forcing them to adapt it to the changing face of combat. 

In 1955 she was partially converted into a helicopter carrier as only full carriers capable of launching aircraft are restricted, and in 1980, with the permission of the Pan-Libetas Union, she received a full retrofit.

Interesting idea given that H class battleships were never built or finished
