Overview:
The Poseidon is another example of the Britannic Coalition Navy's preference for raw firepower and combat capability, over cargo space. One of the three mothballed Comstar vessels taken on the exodus from Terra, she was towed over halfway across the Inner Sphere by the Athena to begin a new life in the Periphery.
Techs at the naval yard were shocked at the paltry weapons allocation for a vessel of this size, half of which comprised non-capital lasers and missiles, apparently meant to fend off fighters. What capital scale weaponry it did carry (a few heavy naval autocannon, plus a modest array of PPCs and lasers) would have done little to protect it from another warship, especially given the vessel's poor heat dissipation. The relatively low armour protection was another concern.
Capabilities:
Discovering that over a tenth of the destroyer's tonnage was used for cargo storage, the refit crew decided that this would be better allocated towards weapons, armour and extra heat sinks.
Most of the tonnage went towards beefing up her firepower. Out went the heavy NAC 40s, medium NPPCs and Class 35 naval lasers, along with the LRM racks and standard lasers.
The Poseidon's new weapons array consists of banks of Class 45 lasers, NAC 30 autocannon and Killer Whale missile racks, increasing its effective firepower by a factor of 4. Large pulse lasers, anti-missile systems and a screen launcher make up its defensive armament. Almost as importantly, the allocation of heat sinks was increased fivefold to allow all these weapons to be used without overheating and 30% more armour plating was fitted for improved protection.
The fighter bays were also expanded to carry 4 additional aircraft.
