The Nautical Engineering Corporation (NEC) was founded in 1872 by crazyrobotts, following a growing concern over the lack of naval innovation across Ironcliff. Determined to revolutionize maritime technology, the NEC began by constructing large civilian ships, including passenger liners and cargo vessels that redefined seafaring reliability. Over time, their engineering excellence drew attention from the Ironcliff Navy, leading to government contracts for advanced military vessels such as destroyers, frigates, and small dinghies. 

Among their early experimental projects was a prototype hovercraft, a daring design that ultimately failed, but served as a symbol of the NEC’s fearless pursuit of progress. The company’s success continued with the introduction of diesel-powered submarines, which later evolved into nuclear-powered models with the advent of nuclear energy. This achievement marked a major milestone, as the NEC became the first Ironcliffian company to design and construct a state-commissioned nuclear submarine.

What the NEC Provides

The NEC has long been a cornerstone of Ironcliff’s naval and industrial landscape, providing both military and civilian sectors with cutting-edge maritime technology. The company designs and manufactures ships, submarines, and naval components built to endure the harshest conditions. Their vessels are known for exceptional speed, stability, and efficiency, supported by expertly engineered water propellers and propulsion systems.

To enhance production and accessibility, the NEC introduced standardized designs for engines, propellers, and hull components, allowing for easier maintenance, faster construction, and lower overall costs. This pioneering system of modular shipbuilding positioned the NEC as one of the first Ironcliff companies to implement large-scale standardization, transforming naval manufacturing into a more efficient and scalable process.
