USS King (DD-242)

The USS King is the 56th destroyer of the Clemson class, this veteran of the second world war sails her way right into Stormworks!

Armed to the teeth with a formidable arsenal of weapons and utilities, this flush-deck destroyer has the necessary tools to tackle any job from basic SAR, AA Screening, ASW, Fleet engagements, and much more!

Enjoy this fresh iteration of my old classic with a revamped interior and all the bite this tin can needs!

I also recommend Infinite ammo and low/medium physics with this.

Startup Procedure
-------------------------------------------

Go to bridge and increase throttle to at least 27.500
Head to power plant and activate pump breakers
Proceed to engine room and increase clutch and activate pumps
Once all pumps are active, press and hold startup button

There are three gears on the helm, one and two are slower but better for towing.
Gear three is a reverse gear. To reverse, press "3" while on the helm, it may stall out if you're going too slow, but that's about it.

Enjoy!

-------------------------------------------
Idling
-------------------------------------------

When stopping for an extended period of time, the idling generator in the ship's power plant will keep your ship powered up. All you have to do is turn on the general electric breaker, activate the pumps, raise the throttle, and start that bad boy up. There are two fuel tanks that can keep the generator running for a long, long time. I have noted that after a certain amount of time, performance might degrade or it auto stops when the main engines are started, if that's the case, restarting the generator should solve it. If it needs refueling, press the "Divert" button on the console and use one of the fuel canisters onboard to fuel it. It must be noted that the generator can only be refueled from the starboard side fluid connector, just make sure you press the divert switch before fueling.

Stability & Sinking
-------------------------------------------

In rough seas, she's prone to listing of a variable degree, and given that she's a flush deck, it's likely that water would be coming over the sides quite often. She handles extreme waves differently in some areas, so I can't promise she'll be stable or unstable everywhere.

There is no sink button, but there's a multitude of ways to go about achieving your result, I'd strongly suggest using the variety of hatches around the ship to mix things up and get a variety of ways to go down. Winds, waters, animals, and enemies shall aid ye in your goal!

Fair winds and following seas!

About
-------------------------------------------

This is the DLC/"modernized" take on my old version of the USS King, it was something I had finished for awhile, but never really got around to posting due to the fact that I go way overboard trying to get screenshots. But here it is, I hope that it turns out to be a good update next to the Sterett. I'll probably upload the weapons individually next, I just have to get around to that now. The torpedoes are a bit finicky, but if they hit, they actually explode, it's pretty sweet.

Here's a fun fact: Fun things are fun!
