The oldest warship of Sahrland now rests, having been dragged into a Khosa micreaduiche and lowered into a trench which covers up everything below the waterline.

Blokha began her long career during the War of the Egercias simply as Project No.25, in the recently annexed city of Klensthail. When she came out of the Stahlduga in 2127 she became the first ship directly commissioned by the Sahren government. Alongside her sister Midzha, Blokha blockaded the Kravsmadite coast and protected shipping heading to Klensagrad even as the war turned disasterously for Sahrland, evading damage due to her small size and extensive anti-munition array.
In 2141 the war weary nation faced a series of pre-planned attacks posthumously called the Pozhar Revolts. Cutoff from communication with high command and dissatisfied with the military's handling of the situation, the garrison of Klensagrad took control of Blokha and had her sail directly to rebel-occupied Khosa in an attempt to bombard their forces. She arrived coincidentally just after Operation Kerosene began, leading the rebels to believe this was a coordinated attack and pull their forces away in preparation for an amphibious assault which never came. By the time Blokha returned to Klensagrad, the sailors were showered with praise and gifts as they believed Blokha was entirely responsible for the liberaiton of the capital.
Only a fear years later in 2144 when the regency junta finally collapsed in on itself Blokha was assigned to screen the battleship Khosa, which was soon attacked by partisans and forced to flee. The two vessels attempted to make a run for Khosa and secure the docks to wait out the war but Blokha experienced electrical failure, forcing the two to brave Kralnovist bombers as they diverted to Phoenia instead, where the ships were internned.
Decades later after Blokha had been transferred to the Bastian navy as a training vessel, the 2197 Aughtafael coup began. Blokha defected to the conspirators and sailed to Vuchalla to once again threaten to bombard a country's capital if it does not surrender. The defection was made known to the Sahren government, and the Korych were quickly assembled to seize the ship before another local naval power could cause the situation to escalate. Poor weather caused many paratroopers to miss but they were still able to land and seize the ship, then purposefully running aground in order to get to Vuchalla as quickly as possible.
Having been re-acquired during Operation Benzene, Blokha sat in mothball as the navy was divided on what to do with her. Some believed she could be upgraded to the same capabilities as a Sys class, but saner heads fought tooth and nail against this potential engineering disaster, instead wanting to preserve her as a museum ship.

Now Blokha is a public park in Khosa. All but one of her sisters are gone; Midzha, Myskit, and Roiste were all sunk during the civil war. Only Leamhan remains, having been cancelled before completion and sold as a cargo ship. Once the Oighearflot corporation decides Leamhan is too old to keep around, The first Blokha shall become the last.
