Chapter 541: The Naval Trials are Done (1/2)

3rd July 1658

To the south of the Indian overseas territory of Maldives, a huge behemoth was roaring through the ocean. The Pune Class Battleship, a monster in its own right, was easily dwarfed by the Goliath Delhi class battleship. The ocean was choppy, and the tide was strong, but that did not stop the Bharatiya fleet, which was conducting test runs in this isolated part of the Indian Ocean, where rarely any European travels.

The most experienced shipbuilders, the most innovative ship designers, the best engineers, and the brightest naval scientists, all came together to represent the pinnacle of intellect, wisdom, and brilliance of the Bharatiya Empire's Naval industry. After a gruelling and mentally exhausting six months, they were finally able to figure out how to build the Five Swords of the Empire, the new generation of Bharatiya Naval Military vessels.
