Notes: Features Armored, Omni, Submersible, and Tractor (Naval) Chassis Modifications

Design Quirks: Narrow/Low Profile, Easy to Maintain, Searchlights. Improved Sensors, and Poor Performance
Named for a famed and decorated Austrian Submarine commander. Built in the late republic era by the Federated Suns to help defend the few remaining undersea bases against the Capellans and Combine aggression. Republic Engineers aided in the design, not only wanting the Federated Suns to be able to hold the line in their wars, but wishing to employ the design themselves as well.

Partially inspired by the Word of Blake's Wyrm submersible Fortresses and the Lyran Jormungands, and even the Draconis Combine's own Triton Missile Submarines.

The Georg von Trapp has several components to it's arsenal. Designated engagement bands. The First band of engagement is it's aerospace fighters, capable of intercepting foes well before they reach the atmosphere. The second engagement occurs when an enemy enters range of the three trios of Subcapital Lasers, again prior to entering the atmosphere. Shortly after the enemy hits the atmosphere they enter the third engagement band, which is the Arrow IV flak barrage from over thirty tubes.

Closer in the VTOL and WiGEs carried by the Georg von Trapp engage in the fourth engagement band. Close in the last engagement band consisting of a withering array of plasma cannons opens up and drives what remains of an enemy force out of control even if it survives the barrage.

For defensive measures the vessel uses a quartet of Laser Anti-Missile Systems, and also uses a pair of LRM launchers with mine clearance missiles. A contingent of 100 battle Armored marines both protect the ship and are prepared to conduct sorties against enemy incursion. Thick plates of vehicular stealth armor are layered to protect the ship and make it difficult for enemies to return fire on it.

Capable of submerging, it can also engage foes underwater with sponson mounted Long Range Torpedoes and Hyper Lasers. Coupled with it's fusion engines that can propel at over 110 kph, even submerged makes such a massive ship difficult to kill.

It can support land operations with close shore support from the Arrow IV. For further inland it has a quartet of massive cruise missile launchers capable of devastating anything struck.

It also carries over ten thousand tons of cargo. This combined with the completely modular design of the omni-technology used in the vessel's construction allows it to be customized easily for the world it is built on, and adapt to the changing situation on a world. Intended to operate not only as a base of operations but be capable of gorilla operations on a world even after it falls to the enemy. To further support this, the Georg von Trapp class was built with a reinforced structure capable of operating as a naval tractor. Even more the lift hoists built into the design allow it to haul an astounding two hundred thousand tons. This allows it to conduct salvage operations on any enemy warships that might fall to it, further cementing it as a king of the oceans.

Variants
Rumor has it that in order to finance construction of these behemoths, the First Prince also sold the design to Clan Diamond Shark. Rumor further states that there are on a few worlds in the Clan Protectorate, vessels greatly matching the description of the Georg von Trapp class, and it stands to reason were it built by the while clan foxes, they would first upgrade it with clan technology. While that is just a rumor, the omni-technology in the design would make such a practice trivial to do if one had access to the clan tech components.
