Come buy your submarines here...

cool sub

do you post?

Nice submarines.

Nice submarines.

want to buy one?

Sadly our navy is prohibited by law from purchasing nuclear-powered naval vessels.

Though we do like your designs. We are currently in the process of R&D on a new diesel-electric attack sub.

Perhaps our researchers could visit your naval yards to see if we might be able to collaborate in some way?

Please advise via telegram.

SecDefence,
Republic of Ozymandias IV

The Navy of the Republic will purchase one of your Nova Hydrogen-Hybrid Generator subs for use in trials versus another 'conventional' powered boat our research teams have been developing.

We shall dispatch a skeleton crew in one of our existing diesel-electric boats to pick up the sub and bring it to our r/d facility.

Total cost: 2.3 billion Rand to be wired upon confirmation.

If you don't mind, we have a few technical questions:
- What is the name of this class of sub?
- What is the submerged speed?
- Is it capable of laying mines?

Assuming it does well in the trials, we may be looking to purchase a full squadron of these boats. We hope to be back in touch within a few NS months.

Thank you.

Ayn IX,
SecDef

Its called the Hai Teng (Chinese for Dolphin) Class SSK/H... Its top submerged speed is approximately 33 knots... It cannot lay mines, but a special mine-laying device can be installed...

bump...

This is a bump...

Just curious, how does the Challenger Class SSN manage 50+ knots?

Its operating a heavily modified nuclear reactor capable of performing at 200% capacity... The top speed of the Challenger at 100% is only 33 and 1/3 knots...

How can it run at 200% without turning the surrounding waters into plasma? (I am talking about a nuclear meltdown)

That is a secret nobody can know :wink:

On the Swordfish Class, you have dual shafts...how do you have a towed array? Dual shafts screw up the towed array. :wink:

I just discovered the answer to your previous question... The reason that my Challenger can move at 50+ knots is because of its two nuclear reactors. For the Swordfish, the shaft is not the propellors by something inside the reactors...

Challenger, many submarines have two reactors and are roughly the same size as yours. This submarine needs to put out excessively high ammounts of SHP to get 50 knots, and if it designed like the picture and specs have it...it would need lots.

As for the Swordfish, how many proppellors does it have?

All my subs, except my SSBNs, which I haven't posted, have one propeller...

BUMP

40 Challanger class: 200 billion, but with your statement of 50% off for 5bill+ orders, that would be only 100 billion...

Tag... I am building a navy, so I'll be back.

5CN, what's the difference b/w all of them?

Oh well, I'm building up my sub fleet so I may as well.

Expect a larger order from my colony The Zoogies soon.

preporia is interested in the Virginia XI Class SSN (i understand you are a UN delegate,we are applying for the UN does bying this submarine violate any UN resolution?)

No, it doesn't violate any UN resolutions. Nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed are two totally different things.

i fear that we have no chance of being the highest bidder our millitary budget is VERY limmited.

i would buy 3 virginias

that's 1.8 billion $(do we have to pay straight up or can we pay over time?)

Please Note: Money will be wired in whole on confirmation by my colony The Zoogies. You will find their budget is sufficient.

our budget has increased we fell that we can afford a chalenger

BUMP FOR THE UPDATE...

In a time of a crisis you are involved with, I would think you would halt production to the international community. But that is just another reason why storefronts are unreasonable.

Have a nice day,

Thank you. And as an afterthought, are the subs coming loaded with torps?

Unfortunately to avoid any accidents, the submarines are not loaded with torpedoes. However, we will deliver a full complement of torpedoes and other shipboard weaponry except for cruise missiles and SLBMs weaponry...
