"Fleet Guardian" AEGIS Arsenal Ship
The "Fleet Guardian" is the newest variant of the Arsenal Ship. Instead of 500 VLS for the Tomahawk Cruise Missile it has only 100 of them. The 400 Cruise Missiles are replaced by a AN/SPY-1D Phased Array Radarfire control radar and 300 VLS for RIM-67 SAMs. This provides a tremendous protective sphere around your fleet. The applications of this on modern naval strategy are nearly endless.
The AN/SPY-1D Phased Array Radar incorporates significant advances in the detection capabilities of the AEGIS Weapons System, particularly in its resistance to enemy Electronic Counter-Measures (ECM). The AEGIS system is designed to counter all current and projected missile threats to the Navy's battle forces. A conventional, mechanically rotating radar "sees" a target when the radar beam strikes that target once during each 360 degree rotation of the antenna. A separate tracking radar is then required to engage each target. In contrast, the computer-controlled AN/SPY-1D phased array radar of the AEGIS system brings these functions together within one system. The four fixed arrays of "SPY" send out beams of electromagnetic energy in all directions simultaneously, continuously providing a search and tracking capability for hundreds of targets at the same time. Using the SPY-1D and a Mark 99 Fire Control System, these ships can guide vertically-launched Standard Missiles to intercept hostile aircraft and missiles at extended ranges.
Specifics:
Armament: 100 Vertical Launch System (VLS) capable of launching a variety of missiles, including Tomahawk Land-Attack Missiles. 300 VLS for RIM-67 SAMs
Crew: 52 person, ship is highly automated.
Design: The ship was built with stealth in mind, it has a very small radar signature. Although the Radar Arrays due reduce this significantly when compared to a standard Arsenal Ship.
Armor: Double reinforced hull.
Length: 776 Feet.
Cost: $1.1 Billion Global Credits - 100 Tomahawks included as well as 300 RIM-67 missiles.
Arsenal Ship
The Arsenal Ship is a moderate cost, high firepower demonstrator ship with low manning. It is designed to be a new generation resurrection of the Battleship. Design was originally carried out by the US Navy, but the project was dropped due to inadequate funding. The World Corporation has gained these plans and has proceeded to build a large quantity of these vessels. 4 of which have been sold to the Agrigentian Navy, our largest ally.
Specifics:
Armament: 500 Vertical Launch System (VLS) capable of launching a variety of missiles, including Tomahawk Land-Attack Missiles.
Crew: 54 person, ship is highly automated.
Design: The ship was built with stealth in mind, it has a very small radar signature.
Armor: Double reinforced hull.
Length: 776 Feet.
Cost: $800 Million Global Credits - 100 Tomahawks included.
