Nothing here is for sale! This is just a weapons intro thread.

Ellan LCS Destroyer
Constructed by Calarca Shipbuilding
MTHEL IIs provided by Western Asia

18 tubes Sunburn and 12 tubes reloadable Mk 41 VLS with 40+ missiles in the magazine. VLS and retracted 115mm (British 4.5") and CIWS Phalanx. Large hangar space for 2 helos under RAM cover. Sustainable top speed of 35 knots with burst speed of 40 knots. 4 sunken (into hull) MTHEL IIs provide cover from aircraft and missiles.

The exhaust is the same as the Meko 140 design, exhausting under the waterline between the screws and before the rudder, a bit like a jetboat does, that way theres no telltale IR heatwave raising off it for a IR missile to home in on.

The Ellan Navy has procured 160 RCS Destroyers, with 40 of them upgraded with WA's MTHEL IIs.

Trimaran dreadnought
Designed by Calarca Shipbuilding


960 feet main hull, LOA, AEGIS SPY-1D array in main hull superstructure, SPY-1F in each secondary superstructure, all crosslinked through a NAUTIS command and correlation computing system. 4x twin 12 inch turrents each secondary, multiple 5 inch and RIM-118 SRM and 40mm mounts on main foredeck and superstructure and side hulls. 6 x 64 cell VLS with SM-2 missiles for the AEGIS in trimaran wings. 2x 32 cell VLS for SS-N-22 Sunburn missiles in secondary hulls.

2 nuke reactors and 4 shafts in main hull, and one reactor and two shafts in each secondary hull. max speed 35 Knts, 12 inch armour plate with additional 6 inches over magazines.

3 deck lifts to internal lowerdeck hangar, hangar holds 15 aircraft F-14 size, 20 aircraft F/A-18 size and 27 AV-8B size. Deck has 3 catapults over the stern for CTOVL flight profiles allowing full maximum weapon loads on takeoff and Vertical landing when ordanance expended or jettisoned.

Currently, the Ellan navy has 6 of these dreadnought.

We congratulate you into the purchase of these advanced weaponery.

For us, our Calarcan destroyers, plus the Clan Smoke Jaguar-designed Sniper-class shore bombardment destroyers and our Sparrowhawk-class Multirole destroyers fits us well.

As for the dreadnought, it also looks quite nice, as it can also launch aircrafts --- fixed wing ones.

All of our ships, of course, have the MTHEL system.

OOC: How does your treaty with Melkor work? What's with all the chances to buy?

OOC: How does your treaty with Melkor work? What's with all the chances to buy?
OOC: Well, it just limits the number of my offensive military equipments (especially my navy), and bans me from doing business with any Coalition members. In return, of course, he will not attack me.

I can always upgrade my older equipments, or replace it with new ones, however, But the number has to be virtually the same.

As we were completely neutral in the Melkor War, there was nothing in the treaty prohibiting purchases from us, so long as the actual Omz forces were still reduced to the numbers listed.

OOC: He didn't limit the numbers of missiles, surface-to-air missile batteries, or helicopters anyways :twisted:

I did purchase one time, just some minutes ago, from Western Asia though --- as Melkor gave me a chance to have one purchase from him, 2 weeks ago I think.
