Cryrian Royal Flotilla: Difference between revisions

 

=== ''Tvillingblom''-series Superyachts ===

The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_(yacht) ''Tvillingblom'']-series consists of two purpose-built yachts constructed by Marlberg AS for the House of Leidensen. Completed in 2010 with lengths of over 160 meters, both vessels ranked among the largest such ships afloat at their time of construction. They were also the largest vessels built at the Lavini Steel Shipyards, which specialize in the assembly of luxury vessels. Their name references the twinflowers used as symbols of the Royal Family. Named the ''Blom av Talvere'' and the ''Blom av Vesterholm'' respectively, both ships were built to be precisely identical, down to their interior layouts. Amenities range from a pair of helipads to three landing craft purchased from the RCRN and a mini-submarine. The vessels have been used to host a variety of events including members of the Cryrian elite as well as foreign personalities, most infamously once including President Manjit Rahar of [[Serramal]]. As information from the yachts are tightly restricted once at sea and no media personnel have ever been allowed onboard, the nature of these gatherings is largely unknown and the source of several conspiracy theories. The Household Ministry maintains that their purpose is "To build ties and create space for valuable dialogue with notable individuals from both Cryria and around the world."

 

The Flotilla maintains a further two Voiture Aérienne [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A320_family narrow-body airliners] for regional travel, which were also purchased from the RCA. It also operates a single Antoran-built [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EADS_CASA_C-295 U-87/T] which was retired from the RCRAF. While the Flotilla's rotary aircraft are more difficult to track, it is believed to operate five Antoran-made H-18 Delfín Rége helicopters that were decommissioned from the Army and another four former-RCRN MH-60Rs, all modified for private use.
