HMS Dearest Anneliese

As HMS Lorenz
The story of the HMS Dearest Anneliese begins with the beginning of the Geschwister von Stade Produzierendes Unternehmen. All efforts from both siblings were put in the production of bigger and bigger ships. In only a few weeks, a 5th rate frigate, Hercules class, began to be built in the drydock of ST J. Current demand of warships put a halt on production for some days. After those days, the ship began the construction again, but this time the specifications were for "a more agile and maneouverable ship". This first ship was comissioned as the HMS Lorenz and was transfered to Port Royal to be put out into sale. For a mistake in price listing, the ship was put into sale far more expensive than normal and the ship was not sold.

Transfer
As the sale was not successful, Anne von Stade was qutie discouraged to make further ships of this size. By this time, his brother Ernst was in the look of a higly powerful heavy frigate with superior handling capabilities. The transfer was made in a matter of hours and comissioned with the name of HMS Dearest Anneliese under the command of Ernst von Stade.

Name and colours
The name comes from the name of a woman who Ernst knows very well. They were lovers once, but they had to part ways. The goodbay was sad but they still see each other from time to time. For all the love and esteem he holds her in, he painted the ship with her favourite colour: blue and decided to print her name on one of his most powerful ships, Hercules sleek class, now and forever called: HMS Dearest Anneliese
