Antrim (Individual Fox-class WarShip)

History

The FCS Antrim was a Fox-class WarShip operated by the Federated Commonwealth and one of the force elements contributed to Task Force Serpent in 3059 by the Federated Suns, along with one of the Antrim's sister ships, the FCS Rostock. The FSS Antrim would participate in what became known as the Battle of Trafalgar against forces from Clan Ghost Bear in the Deep Periphery on the 15th of December 3059.

On the 5th of March 3060 the FCS Antrim and the other WarShips within Task Force Serpent engaged in battle with two Vincent Mk 42-class corvettes and a Sovetskii Soyuz-class heavy cruiser above the Clan Smoke Jaguar planet of Huntress. The Antrim survived the battle, although the Rostock was lost.

The Antrim and the Task Force Serpent naval forces were then involved in a second violent naval battle above Huntress against Smoke Jaguar forces retreating from Operation Bulldog in the Inner Sphere; this time, the Task Force faced two more Vincent Mk 42 class corvettes and a powerful Liberator-class heavy cruiser. The Antrim took heavy damage in this battle, damage which couldn't be repaired in the field.

The Antrim survived the conflict with the Smoke Jaguars and returned to the Inner Sphere, and estimates of the repair work being conducted in 3062 indicated that the Antrim was expected to return to active service in early 3063. The Antrim survived the FedCom Civil War, remaining in service with the Federated Suns as the FSS Antrim until at least 3067, but had been destroyed or removed from service by 3079.
