The EM-150 Dolphin class was developed by The Elias Marine Corporation and Bisonic Defence Initiatives Agency (BDIA) in a response to a requirement for an amphibious assault ship that could also perform the role of a light aircraft carrier and sea control ship.

The ship is highly capable and features modern defence systems such as the Shtil SAM system and CIWS mounts. The ship is designed to be extremely flexible as it can be used in either the amphibious role, the helicopter assault role or as a light aircraft carrier.

The Dolphin class design integrates the latest in command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capability. These capabilities are further enhanced by additional, dedicated intelligence, mission planning, and command and control spaces. The shipboard wide area network (SWAN) is a fiber optic shipwide large area computer system. The SWAN will support everything from combat systems to ship systems to command and control nodes to an integrated training system. This network also provides e-mail and internet access capability.

The ship's assault support system synchronises the simultaneous horizontal and vertical flow of troops, cargo and vehicles throughout the ship, for insertion of forces ashore via helicopters, landing craft and amphibious vehicles. Six 12,000lb capacity cargo elevators transport material from cargo holds to staging areas for loading. Cargo to be loaded aboard landing craft within the well deck is moved via a monorail system. This system consists of 2,900ft of track in a six-track layout. The five 32ft monorail trains each have a capacity of 6,000lbs and a speed of up to 10mph. The ship has two deck edge aircraft elevators, each with a lifting capacity of 105,000lbs

Hey buddy, russian aircraft such as the Su-27 and MiG-29, which arent VSTOl, operate from ski jumps liek this one.

VSTOl aircraft would have no problem.


All purchases confirmed.

Our nation will take one.
Amphibious you say? how does that work exactly?

$1.2Billion... sounds reasonable.
We just paid $1.6B for some light destroyers.

However, the accountants and the bureaucrats seem to be in charge of the military in our nation lately. They are ramming all kinds of budget constraints down our throats lately.
Do you have a layaway plan?
We were thinking something like 6 monthly payments of $200M.

Up to this point our navy has mostly consisted of garbage scows and hopped up fishing boats. We have been working on a way to mount a .50cal on a coleman canoe but have been so far unsuccessful.

Our nation is just starting to dip a toe into naval service.
Since our crews would be unskilled with your technology, we would like to obtain some training in use of the ship. Perhaps when the ship is built our ppl could ride back on the maiden voyage and learn the ropes that way? Perhaps your ppl could provide training en route?

We have begun a navy training program here in preparation for the ship to arrive. But we would really like to send our training crews over to ride back with your delivery team when the ships are ready. Obviously this would not be a complete crew, just a skeleton complement. We feel it would be an excellent training excercise for them to be present on the maiden voyage of the ship they will be serving on. Perhaps your delivery crew could provide training for them enroute? We would really like our junior crews to be present while you are shaking down the ships. We would be willing to compensate you for this service.

Our men would be unfamiliar with the capabilities and technology on board the new vessels, and we would require training and certification on these systems. It is a policy of our military to never purchase any weapons delivery system without partnering with the manufacturer or distributor to develop a training curriculum and certification program. You would know best the capabilities, weaknesses, and field maintenance requirements of your weapons systems. We wish to extract maximum value from our military expenditures and feel that the well-trained men are the best weapon in our arsenal.

Please advise.

(I like new countries, so I can give you training for free)



$1.6b for a destoryer?
You got ripped off.

Are you sure the Su-37 can land/take off on something that small? and how many fighters can it hold

Are you sure the Su-37 can land/take off on something that small? and how many fighters can it hold

It might, but where did I say it could?



It can hold up to 28 fighters.

OOC:

I meant on ski jumps on the larger Kuznetsov carrier.

right, anyway, what do you mean by amphibious?

right, anyway, what do you mean by amphibious?


A ship that carries soldiers for assault landings.

Probably keeps the weight down as well.
Remember, this is a "light" aircraft carrier.
Makes sense that their is no room for nuclear drive, steam catapults, massive weaponry, etc. That would be for a "heavy" aircraft carrier.

This should be ideal for our nation. We are not looking to attack anyone.
We just want to be able to defend our nation should any uglies think of coming this way. We are more looking for a lightning quick, first response kind of thing. We cannot really afford the whole shock and awe scene, right now.

We would be happy with loading one of these with a few anti-submarine aircraft, maybe a few helicopter gunships with long-range anti-ship missiles. Or... as you said... a dozen of the new VTOL Harriers would be perfect to defend a small battle group while it takes out the trash.

You may not conquer anyone that way, but it should be enough to keep our beaches clear and ensure the safety of our state-run ocean-front casino complexes and destination resorts. Nothing worse than an amphibious assault on your beachheads to ruin spring break.

THis is useless for defense, as a defensive carrier I can sell you an Ulyanovsk at $1.5 bil.

(Its a smaller Nimitz in many ways)

*money has been wired*

Purchases confirmed.

Amphibious in this case means the carrier may be used to launch an amphibious assault. The LCACs or other amphibious craft are delivered near the shore by the carrier, and continue on their own to the beach. Bisons and Elias made no claim that ship itself can crawl up the beach.

I'll take 3 of these fine carriers, wires 3.6 billion

3, please. Take the $3.6 billion off our credit.

Once again, having the order asap would be nice. (Possible deployment in the Nimbatan conflict)

Im waiting for Nimbata to allow me back in. Im sending a fleet of helicopter carriers.

we are in the market for a light carrier to give us power projection capabilities. by purchasing two we hope to keep one active at all times and the other in refit/transit at all times. we would use this as a primary carrier force until larger units can be required at which time these will be used for peacekeeping and light support. please respond.

I already use that....but I call it by its real name, Andrea Doria (NUM)

Heres a friendly suggestion/request: Please avoid using pictures of real military equipment that is actually entering service in RL, without modifying it in anyway. Thanks.

Wrong, Andrea Doria was cancelled, its a modification which will be known as Luigi Enaudi, get your fact right at least if you intend to criticise.

Hey, um...actually your wrong. First of all, I said it in a friendly tone, don't rush to judgement. And the Andrea Doria was the name of the project....Luigi Enaudi is the first ship of the class, and hence the rest of the class is named after it. My nation never built a Luigi Enaudi, so we just use the Andrea Doria Designation. I know that much about my own country's military.

okay sorry, anyway they are actually different designs, original Andrea Doria had fewer flag facilities and I belive Luigi Enadui places more emphasis on amphious operations as well as sea control.

Tyrador will purchase one EM-140, even tho they seem to be slower and hold less arcraft then a Wasp, but if they are so expenisve they must be better!!

I'll have one more same deal. :)

For all intensive purposes the Andrea Doria's pictures look exactly the same however.

Now you can use, it doesnt bother me that much, but I just don't want anyone to say, when I post pictures of my Andrea Dorias that I am stealing your design or something. Okay, so for the record, so it is made known, I use that same picture.

Have a Nice day :)
