View source for YMS Kaiser Mors V

The Yardistani Militia Ship ''Kaiser Mors V'' was obtained under long-term lease from [[DSSI]] by the Duke of [[Yardistan]] in late 2007.

It is alleged to be an "Iowa"-class battleship, but its provenence indicates that it is probably a clone / compatible. 

===Cyberian Service===
The first existant record shows the ship as the CSS ''Barry Goldwater'' in service with the [[VCC]] Navy from 1998. It was used in various actions, mostly of a "show the flag" nature. The ship was dispatched to escort troop-carriers in an attempt to crush the [[Third War for Cyberian Liberation]]. Rumors that it would be used to bombard the city of [[Port Davies]] in [[Menet]] lead to a muntiny by the largely [[Mala'anje]] crew, who promptly re-cristened it as the ''[[Jacobus]] Imperator'' in honor of their traditional leader. It served under that name in the Federal [[Cyberia]]n Navy until declared surplus in 2006, when it was acquired by DSSI in a clouded transaction.

===Shirirthain Service===
In Shirithian service, it served in the 2007 rebellion, supporting the forces of the Kaiser it was named for. The Duke of Yardistan used it a his flagship during the [[Cognito]] expedition and picnic in early 2008.

The ship provided the spearhead of Shireroth's response to Bosworthian aggression in the [[War of Jeremy's Nose]], shelling cities, military installations, and destroying stategic material.
