Christchurch 1:600 x1

The Chrishchurch Class of Aerolyth ships is a class of large transport designed and built at the Detroit Dry Dock Company and Engine Works (later the Detroit Shipbuilding Company). Origi-nally designed on contract to ferry trade between New Zealand and Australia, it soon became a popular cargo hauler throughout South East Asia and beyond. It also became the basis for the Christchurch-B variant, a popular vehicle for smuggling and piracy.
