This OCC thread will outline the basic LRR national defense structure. Just FYI. Comments are very welcome. Since this is not really classified, IC comments are ok. Moreover- how do you defend your nation? Feel free to post your national defensive strategy.

The LRRN uses several ships in the coastal defense role. Most are not new or have been RP'd being developed before. The Skjold MOD is probably the only LRR custom ship that hasn't had RP development or at least some construction note.

The Skjold MOD is a modified Skjold class corvette. In place of the foreward cannon, a CDM (combined defensive mount) consisting of a Goalkeeper II and RAM short-range antimissile system will be mounted. The Skjold MOD will use a smaller version of the powerful radar used on the Bora II, capable of detecting certain types of stealth aircraft and ships, as well as missiles. In addition to this, passive sensor systems will be added, such as IR and passive sonar. The Skjold MOD will be able to carry 8 ASMs or SAMs in vertical launch cells in the foreward hull. Given the heavy automation on the Skjold mod, it will be able to operate under a crew of just 15. It is made from mostly composites, and covered with radar absorbent materials
