Overview

The Whirlwind Block II was born when the Federated Suns gained access
to the Fire Fang formerly a Clan Ghost Bear vessel that had been salvaged
during Operation Serpent and pressed into the ranks of the ComGuards.

When that ship had been disabled in the Terran system fighting the Word of
Blake the Federated Suns were able to gain access to the design.  By 3075
the AFFS had secured access to the design with the SLDF once returned to
Galaxy the Federated Boeing engineers began to work on the design.

Capabilities

Retaining much of what made the original ship so effective the Whirlwind II
concentrates on a single class of Naval Autocannon, split fore and aft, while
batteries of Naval Lasers, Medium Naval Particle Cannons and the original
designs two Light Naval Gauss Rifles dozens of Long Range Missile Launchers,
Lasers and Rotary autocannons provide conventional firepower. Defensively
the craft carries four Screen launchers and thirty-eight anti-missile systems

The Whirlwind II carries a Lithium Fusion Battery and a Naval C3 Module, while
 twenty aerospace fighters and six small craft are carried on board.  While the
ship can still carry over fifty-three thousand tons of cargo within its holds.  The
Federated Boeing engineers experimented with trying to mate a DropShip
Collar with the hull however the hull could not accept the modification and was
abandoned.  Finally providing internal and external defence are forty-eight
Battle Armour equipped troopers. 

==Notable Vessels & Crews:==
FSS New Avalon (formerly Clan Steel Viper, Constrictor)
FSS Fire Fang (formerly Clan Ghost Bear/ComStar)

Deployment

Only two Whirlwind Block II-class Destroyers exist the Fire Fang and New
Avalon.  Both are former Clan vessels that have been refitted to this
specification and both are now in the service of the Federated Suns Navy.

The two ships often are pared with House Davion's Davion III-class
Destroyers joining the other AFFS Fleet ships in action.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.
