FSA Revere Class Corvette
The FSA initially scrapped their plans for such a small fighting ship, as it was decided that the resources required to produce a steam vessel with such an undersized presence amongst a fleet could be better spent elsewhere. However, after reviewing a design by the relatively unknown engineer Edmund Collerton III, the idea of a vessel that could be built quickly and cheaply and without the need for a dockyard prompted the FSA military to give the vessel the go-ahead.
