In referance to this anouncement:
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73774&highlight=

We are now accepting bids on Carriers!

We are interested in two types: 1) large, able to hold from 120 to 140 aircraft. And 2) small, able to hold around 40 aircraft and more maneuverable.

The more automation the better as we are looking to reduce crew sizes!
Please provide pics and stats.
Must be origional concepts! I can build Nimitz and all other common carriers.
We are hoping to get 2 Large, and 4 small carriers for now.

We will be waiting for about a week before making a final decision.

Prices? (Lowest)

Notes
As the final product of the long-running CVX program, the Dominion-class Nuclear Aircraft Carrier has replaced the long-serving force of Kitty Hawk-class Aircraft Carriers formerly in service with the Dominion of Kotterdam.

Including several new systems, such as an advanced Jet Blast Deflector comprised of metal panels coated with heat-dissipating ceramic tiles similiar to those used on reentry vehicles, the new JBD will resist far greater levels of heat with far less maintenance. As well, the new integrated multi-function radar system will be far less maintenance intensive than the series of individual systems used on the Kitty Hawk.

Amongst the many fighters intended to be stationed aboard is the carrier variant of the Dominion of Kotterdam's first Stealth Fighter, the F-23C Black Widow II. Carriers are sold without their compliment of fighters.

The HNS Amon Amarth class multirole aircraft carrier is designed to support landing operations and escort convoys. It features a thru-deck ramp system and also two mag-lift catapult on an angled deck. The carrier is designed for quick turn arounds for aircrews, and is capable of landing and launching aircraft at the same time. The carrier has two elevators on the starboard side to take aircraft from their hangers to the deck. The ship is designed to engage airborne, surface and subsurface targets with equal ease. Anti submarine capability comes from the Udav-1 integrated anti-submarine system with 60 anti-submarine rockets. The ship took two years from conception to final build, and had a total cost of $2.6 billion.

how u get money :?:

is this a space aircraft carrier or just a oceanic one?

We could sell you a BUSH class aircraft carrier, quite brand new better equiped than those old nimitz and invincible class ships at a fraction of the cost for 450-575 million dollars.

I have a pair of bids for your smaller-scale category (quoted from my Announcements thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1708391#1708391)):

My AC Carriers follow the theory that it is better to buy several smaller, faster, and capable carriers over a single large AC carrier with limited range and intervention capabilities. These aircraft carriers use the Trimaran hull form that has made GINY a famous warship producer. These hull forms allow for greater speeds and survivability in warships. Details and system info below.

General info:

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------

Each of these vessels have the following:
Has 3 elevators* (2 for the light model) and a stealthy, low-slung design. These carriers use virtual and telepresence technology to eliminate the large "island" on the deck of the carrier, which is replaced by a squat, radar deflecting station about 2 stories tall as with the other designs, and to allow for better command and control of crew. Raised (with portions retractable) "radar shields" will prevent the activity on the ship's deck from reflecting radar signals towards receiver stations.**

Has 1 ramped launch lane (for VSTOL and high-lift aircraft(STOL) such as X-47 Pegasus UCAVs) and 2 "standard" launch lanes (for other planes and non-combat planes). The catapults use the EMALS (Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System), which cuts down on the 'down time' between aircraft launches.

Armaments:
Mixed-use Offensive/Defensive Systems
1- Ship-based MTHEL II system (WA advanced version, extended range, improved ID and tracking ability (based on Counter-battery radar, to assist in return fire from the fleet), and improved operating system)
6(4 on light)- Sea Sparrow integrated missile pods (48(32)missiles)
6- MDG-351 35mm "Millennium Gun" stations (advanced CIWS, mounted atop and within sections of the LASRB)
4 (2 on light)- Mk.32 Integrated Triple-mount SVTT (surface vessel torpedo tubes, total of 12 (6) torpedo tubes.)

Defensive Systems:

Large Area Surface Radar Baffling (LASRB, the "Radar Shield," actually a part of the ship shell, which extends down to the water at an angle that is intended to deflect signals either up into the sky or down into the water.)
Large-spread EW/ECM station (placed at ends to provide fleet/task force-wide EW/ECM coverage. Based on the AN/SLQ-32 Electronic Warfare (EW) system)
PCMS (Passive Counter Measures System. Uses Radar Absorbent Materials (RAM) and other specialized materials.)
Degaussing (MCM) systems
MK-53 Nulka Decoy Launching System (DLS)
Machine Noise Reducing Measures (Torpedo Counter Measures)
Prairie/Masker II Noise Masking System
Dragged Torpedo Decoys
Several Wide-Area Navalized "Shortstop" Electronic Protection System (WANSEPS) (a proximity fuse electronic countermeasure system that prematurely detonates artillery shells and other fuses at a safe distance from the target)
Barak Point Defense Missile System (a mini-VLS S2A anti-missile system)


There are also 2 'empty' integrated missile stations that can be used to launch box or rail-launched missiles of various sorts. These stations can be used for a variety of uses as the purchaser sees fit.

--------------------------------------
Notes:
*- The elevators are not the 'normal' aircraft elevators. To avoid problems with the radar baffling ("radar shields"), the elevators are large rectangular lift structures placed centrally towards the rear of the ship and they're adjacent so that a large number of aircraft can be rapidly lifted at once and then rapidly deployed.

**-Sea Sparrow and other missile pods are integrated (hidden) in motile panels of the "radar shield," so when a missile is required to fire, the panel is simply dropped out of the way and the missile(s) are fired towards the targets, torpedo tubes are also included in the baffles. Also included in these panels are and Active Phased Array/Multi-Function Radar (APAR/MFR) hidden in panels and countermeasures equipment.

--------------------------------------

The ‘Standard’ carrier has a TOTAL crew (Ship’s Crew plus Airwing and Aircrew) of approx. 3,500 and the Light has a crew of about 3,100. This vastly reduced crew (in comparison to other ships) has been made possible by the extensive use of automated systems. These automated systems include facilities for moving munitions and vital equipment, usually used to allow small management crews move large loads. Also included in automation are several of the engine components. To enhance the ship’s ability to operate in damaged conditions (Fight Hurt), these systems can also be manually operated in most cases.

The cruise speed is over 38 knots (48+kts top speed) for both ships (they use high-power nuclear reactors for their electric-powered waterjet and screw engines) and the average cruising speed is about 35 knots. The ships are about average length for their class but the ship is wide enough to place the three, wide launch lanes across the bredth of the foredeck (one bearing a 'ski-jump' ramp for special aircraft launches). Also, the ship has a visible height of about 1/2-3/4 that of the Nimitz-class, which helps avoid visual detection when sneaking up on enemy shores (and reduces RCS-reduction costs).

Special Features:
Integrated Information System
Supports the transfer and integration of voice, video and data information between audio, video and computer systems. Key features will include common and standard operating systems, network functions, communication protocols, iáYM¥faces and message structure.

Fiber-Optic Backbone
Single, integrated, commercial and military standard compliant physical grid supporting communications between systems/equipment via fiber-optic cables and electric-to-optic conversion devices. Key feature is providing end-to-end connections using ruggedized commercial off-the-shelf components. The ship-wide fiber-optic data relay system is resistant to EMP attacks and the fiber-optic cables themselves will not carry or receive EMI-causing signals.

Zonal Electric Distribution System
Open system architecture DC electrical distribution with standard interfaces between components. Power conversion and conditioning are performed locally from a single ship-wide DC electrical power bus to provide each end user the type/quality of power required. DC power allows for solid state control, which achieves power continuity in case of a fault and provides for near-instantaneous recovery from power interruptions. In addition to the survivability benefits inherent in uninterrupted power, this system is anticipated to be easier to install, require less physical cabling and provide greater flexibility for ship upgrades than current electrical systems. Isolates the potential for problems and minimizes any effect on the rest of the ship.

Multifunctional Embedded Antennas
Reconfigurable, multiple apertures electronically combined to provide an antenna tunable across wide frequency bandwidth and sensitivity parameters. The apertures are embedded in composite materials integral to the ship structure and may include combined or separate transmit and receive modules. Reduction of the number of antenna systems for communications and radars provides potential to improve performance by avoiding antenna blockages, reducing the structure required to support antenna placement, life-cycle costs and maintenance manpower requirements.

Modified Island Structure
The island’s configuration, function and materials are designed to satisfy aircraft support functions while minimizing its impact on ship control and flight deck operations. Benefits are reduced air disturbances caused on the flight deck by the island, more efficient flight deck arrangements, and reduced radar and infrared signature characteristics. This configuration improves flight deck access and reduces electronic self-interference.

Alternative Energy Catapults
Electromagnetic Catapults: A launch-assist mechanism, which will propel the aircraft to takeoff velocity using a traveling electromagnetic wave produced by a linear motor. When compared to current steam driven catapults, the EMALS (Electro-Magnetic Air Launch System) will provide the following benefits:
Independence from the ship’s propulsion plant;
A 50-percent reduction in system weight;
A 65-percent reduction in system volume;
An increase in energy capacity with a highly controllable acceleration and deceleration profile;
An increase in reliability and availability;
A 30-percent decrease in manpower required. This technology is similar to that used to propel high-speed "bullet" trains in some countries. By the use of this more efficient, more controllable system, maintenance costs for the airframes of carrier-launched aircraft can be reduced as the EMALS system can adjust independently and automatically for the launch of each aircraft (So that a JSF will receive the push that it needs, not the push that an F/A-18 needs). This reduced wear also reduces costs and manpower requirements while releasing valuable space that would otherwise be set aside for materials to address these damages.

Ski Jumps
An upward-sloped ramp at the forward end of a section of the flight deck provides aircraft with a more optimum flyaway angle. This translates into benefits such as reduced takeoff velocity, increased payload capacity and reduced wind-over-deck requirements.

Passive Jet Blast Deflector
Redesigns and new materials mean reduced maintenance costs and time. The system affords increased safety for deck crews.

Automated Weapon Selection and Movement
Integrated family of procedures, magazine design, weapons elevators, passageway layout, information management systems, decision aids and reduced manpower ordnance-handling equipment to increase weapons’ throughput, increase sortie generation rates and minimize risks associated with ordnance handling and stowage. Material movement devices, semi-autonomous, gravity compensated weapons handling devices, damage control automation systems and components help reduce the ship's crew and costs.

Computerized and Automated Aircraft Diagnostics and Repair
Semi-automated refueling and servicing in a new configuration and deck location (versus other and older aircraft carriers) provides faster, more efficient airwing pit stops and requires fewer people. This helps reduce the maintenance time and allows for an increased sortie rate. Computerized scanners search for structural weakness in parts, allowing aircrews to replace only the damaged portions when necessary, cutting costs and reducing inventory demands.

Improved Hanger Bay Organization
The designs reduces the clutter observed in other vessels while also providing the facilities necessary for the storage, retrieval, and deployment of aircraft of all sorts.

Reconfigurable Living Spaces
Life-of-the-ship modular construction designs provide flexibility and reduce cost.

Expanded Bandwidth
More onboard and off-board capability gives the ship a communications edge. Both in combat and while on peaceful deployments.

Advanced Systems for Flight Operations Management
Family of information management and decision aids to facilitate mission planning, aircraft control, aircraft/pilot information upload and download, aircraft turnaround and aircraft launch and recovery. May include a family of high performance, integrated aviation work centers along with several pit stop-type aircraft servicing stations strategically positioned about the ship. Benefits include:
Improved aviation safety;
Significant manning reduction;
Increased sortie generation rate;
Flight deck optimization;
Reduced aircraft support equipment;
More efficient maintenance and built-in servicing and support flexibility for follow-on generations of aircraft.

--------------------------------------

There are currently no aircraft included, but EW aircraft (Prowler and Growler) as well as F/A-18IEs and F/A-18IFs are sold by me in the fixed-wing category.

Rotary wing aircraft for this vessel of numerous types are also available for sale if you are interested.

Victor Class Aircraft Carrier (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77139&highlight=)

The Elias Marine Corporation has finally completed fitting out the first of an initial two aircraft carriers for the Elias Navy. This project unlike any other in Elias history has involved every single military equipment corporation in the nation and has been a massive effort to create ships that are not only exceedingly capable but also flexible to future requirements.

The new ship is known as the EM-200 Victor class aircraft carrier as the first vessel will bear the name President Victor with all following Elias Navy ships also having previous Presidents as their namesakes.

The ship type will be available for export in very limited numbers and only to nations that have shown trust and friendship towards United Elias.

Design

The design of the President Victor was a collaboration of various ideas from the Elias Marine Corporation, Elias Aerospace and requirements from the ministry of Procurement and Export as well as of course the Elias Navy. Some technical experience was also gained after a team of engineers visited a new Ferrussian ‘Riga’ class vessel. Intelligence information gathered from other nations projects was also considered in order to make the final design one of the most carefully though through in the world.

The ship is designed to accommodate approximately 55 aircraft and will eventually operate the EA-220 Joint Tactical Bomber (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73661&highlight=) and the EA-60 Carrier Support Aircraft (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74543). As yet howver the Navy has yet to choose the standard combat aircraft for the ships and this decision is expected to delay the ships commissioning.
The ship is equipped with three catapults, five arresting wires and two large aircraft elevators as well as five other smaller elevators for fuel and munitions.

The other primary role other than to support the operation of aircraft is to act as a fleet flagship, therefore a large emphasis is placed on integrated command centers, a huge array of communications equipment and battle management sensors. The ship can support a full flag staff to manage the actions of a surface fleet and amphibious operations.

Special Features

The EM-220 Victor class Carrier features a few new systems that are not entirely obvious but worth mentioning:



Integrated Information System
Supports the transfer and integration of voice, video and data information between audio, video and computer sys-tems. Key features include common and standard operating systems, network functions, communication protocols, interfaces and message structure.

Fiber-Optic Backbone
Single, integrated, commercial and military standard compliant physical grid supporting communications between systems/equipment via fiber-optic cables and electric-to-optic conversion devices. Key feature is providing end-to-end connections using ruggedized commercial off-the-shelf components.

Multifunctional Embedded Antennas
Reconfigurable, multiple apertures electronically combined to provide an antenna tunable across wide frequency band-width and sensitivity parameters. The apertures may be embedded in composite materials integral to the ship structure and may include combined or separate transmit and receive modules. Reduction of the number of antenna systems for commu-nications and radars provides potential to improve performance by avoiding antenna blockages, reducing the structure required to support antenna placement, life-cycle costs and maintenance manpower requirements.

Electromagnetic Catapults: A launch-assist mechanism which propel the aircraft to takeoff velocity using a traveling electromagnetic wave produced by a linear motor. When compared to current steam driven catapults, the electro-magnetic launcher will provide the following benefits: independence from the ship’s propulsion plant, a 50-percent reduction in weight and 65-percent reduction in volume, an increase in energy capacity with a highly controllable acceleration and deceleration profile, an increase in reliability and availability, and a 30-percent decrease in manpower required. This system will also extend aircraft life, as peak loads on the airframe will be reduced This technology is similar to that used to propel high-speed maglev trains.

Weapon Selection and Movement
Integrated family of procedures, magazine design, weapons elevators, passageway layout, information management systems, decision aids and reduced manpower ordnance-handling equipment to increase weapons’ throughput, increase sortie generation rates and minimize risks associated with ordnance handling and stowage.

Advanced Systems for Flight Operations Management
Family of information management and decision aids to facilitate mission planning, aircraft control, aircraft/pilot information upload and download, aircraft turnaround and aircraft launch and recovery. Benefits include: improved aviation safety, significant manning reduction, increased sortie generation rate, flight deck optimization, reduced aircraft support equipment, more efficient maintenance and built-in servicing and support flexibility for follow-on generations of aircraft.

AMS-10 Oppressor Aircraft Carrier

http://agnosticium.20megsfree.com/images/oppressor1.gif
sorry the image doesn't show... inability to procure free-webhosting is a bitch

The AMS-10 is the newest aircraft carrier line in the AGNOS Arms inventory. Boasting more aircraft, a larger flight deck and improvements and modernizations, the AMS-10 brings significant firepower to bear for any naval commander. The port elevators were designed specifically with the intention of raising medium bombers to the flight deck, making the AMS-10 capable of launching much larger aircraft than most other carriers. The catapults are rated to propel fully loaded AMB-1 Halo bombers from the decks although such a task is impossible due to the wingspan of the aircraft. However, AMB-3 Havocs CAN be launched and two flights are routinely kept aboard Agnostican vessels. One other improvement is the addition of a fifth catapult, decreasing the amount of time needed to put all aircraft into the air.

With five nuclear reactors powering the ship, the range is unlimited and the near-unlimited power source also allows for innovation to abound with the vessel. Heat from the reactors is collected and dispersed throughout the ship during the colder months and is also used to heat the water for showers, the swimming pool and three hot-tubs. Also, the power is used in flight operations as the four aircraft catapults are all magnetically accelerated instead of the older steam powered systems. By using electromagnetic acceleration, there are fewer maintenance issues and the reliability of the mechanism is increased by over 500%.

When not used for the movement of bombers to the deck, the rear elevator can either be used as two separate lifts, separating about 1/3 of the way, or as one larger lift, supporting up to three fighter aircraft. The deck of the AMS-10 is even larger than that of the AMS-6 Repressor being another 100 feet in overall length and almost 60 more feet wide. Once again we see the use of the FABS (foam anti-breach system) device throughout the composite hull as well as the same hydroponic farms and retractable armor plating that enable those on lower decks to enjoy the sunlight in times of peace. The library of each vessel is delivered to the buyer complete with classical, modern and popular literature as well as “stress relief” sections. This is optional and may be removed per each purchasers request. Further amenities include a mini-mall, a full-sized Olympic pool, three hot tubs and four gyms. The central facility, largest by far also has a 50 foot climbing wall.

Although an increase in size, the improvement of numerous shipboard systems make the Oppressor a more efficient vessel, giving it the ability to support the same overall crew numbers, with only an increase in flight crew.

Defensive armaments are doubled with the Oppressor and each system has an independent targeting computer that is in constant communication with the other systems to prevent system lock-ups and targeting of the same inbound threat.

Constructed of composite materials and plated with chobham-style armor instead of the usual steel and titanium belts, the Oppressor is actually lighter than most other capital ships of similar size and purpose. The hull is separated into 200 different watertight compartments to minimize the damage of anti-ship missiles and the composite materials make for effective heat sinks in the event of a fire.

One stand-out system aboard AGNOS Manufacturing vessels is the FABS (Foam Anti-Breach System) breach-management system that lines all portions of the vessel where water might breach the hull in the event of attack or collision. When activated or after the compartment has been filled halfway with water, the auto-reactive foam particles are ejected into the water and instantly swell and harden, plugging the breach and filling the afflicted compartment with a light composite foam with excellent buoyancy capabilities. In the event that the breach damages the FABS console in a compartment, the foam automatically fires and fills the area.

The Oppressor also has an extremely advanced electronics suite designed to maximize survivability and information flow, as well as disrupt enemy detection efforts. The Goliath II SATDATA imaging system is the primary system for the Oppressor warships, linking in high-speed, multi-spectrum, encrypted data bursts to global satellites to provide an accurate worldwide picture with a zoom enabling the tracking and viewing of objects up to .5m in size. The David IIIS tracking computer works alongside the Goliath and uses the incoming data to create an accurate targeting display and reduces the strain upon the Goliath system. With one simply providing the picture and the other using the data to identify, track and co-ordinate targets, this array is compositely known as the Hercules IV. Each vessel has three Hercules IV tracking systems.

AMS-12 Heroic Class Escort Carrier

The AMS-12 class of vessels were designed with the intent of providing the Navy a suitable aircraft carrier designed mostly for fleet defense and limited offense. The escort carrier’s role is simply to provide a platform from which aircraft can base in their roles as fleet defenders. Smaller by half than the AMS-6 Repressor class, the Courageous class is a fraction of the 4.4 billion dollar cost of the full-sized carrier. Able to carry up to four full squadrons of V/STOL aircraft or three-plus squadron of conventional ground-based fighters, the Heroic and her sister ships give a commander the flexibility of air coverage without the cost of a major carrier.

Following the success of the AMS-8 class escort carriers, the AMS-12 design was lengthened and the capacity increased to provide an even better presence on the naval battlefield. One notable feature is the rear-deck of the vessel which may act as an entire elevator, lowering at the stern to simultaneously raise eight aircraft to the flight deck as well as the two other lifts, allowing for ten aircraft to be readied on the flight deck at once in a matter of minutes where before the multiple lifts on other carriers had to ferry one plane at a time up to the deck.

The AMS-12 has both a ski-ramp and catapults to assist in the launch of conventional aircraft at the expense of being unable to both launch and recover fighters at the same time. However, the Heroic is capable of catapult launching up to three aircraft at once. In the V/STOL launch procedures, up to eight aircraft may lift-off simultaneously for immediate air presence. The presence of AMH-1 attack helicopters also gives the Heroic significant anti-ship and shore support loitering capabilities. Combined with the AMH-9 ASW/SAR helicopter, the AMS-12 has significant offensive firepower at its disposal, even if not equal to that of a major, full-length aircraft carrier.

Nuclear powered, the Heroic has indefinite cruising capability while also maintaining 2.8 million gallons of aviation fuel for air operations. Capable of transporting up to 400 troops in the barracks-style troop transport area, the AMS-12 is also capable of fielding a landing element for strike and/or beachhead protection.

One stand-out system aboard AGNOS Manufacturing vessels is the FABS (Foam Anti-Breach System) breach-management system that lines all portions of the vessel where water might breach the hull in the event of attack or collision. When activated or after the compartment has been filled halfway with water, the auto-reactive foam particles are ejected into the water and instantly swell and harden, plugging the breach and filling the afflicted compartment with a light composite foam with excellent buoyancy capabilities. In the event that the breach damages the FABS console in a compartment, the foam automatically fires and fills the area.

The Heroic is akin to other capital ships in that it also has an extremely advanced electronics suite designed to maximize survivability and information flow, as well as disrupt enemy detection efforts. The Goliath II SATDATA imaging system is the primary system for the Heroic warships, linking in high-speed, multi-spectrum, encrypted data bursts to global satellites to provide an accurate worldwide picture with a zoom enabling the tracking and viewing of objects up to .5m in size. The David IIIS tracking computer works alongside the Goliath and uses the incoming data to create an accurate targeting display and reduces the strain upon the Goliath system. With one simply providing the picture and the other using the data to identify, track and co-ordinate targets, this array is compositely known as the Hercules IV. Each vessel has three Hercules IV tracking systems.

please are we want is one oppresive class!

We are willing to sell two AMS-10 Oppressor carriers and four AMS-12 Heroic escort carriers for a total of 15 billion dollars. That is approximately 1.6 billion dollars in savings. Pretty much an entire escort carrier for free.

please are we want is one oppresive class!

Granted, we will sell you one Oppressor-class carrier. Please go to AGNOS Arms Manufacturing (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=41165) to place the order as I do not want to hijack this thread.

sorry the thing didn't work. Please give it agin.

This will definitely be given serious consideration. We will have to evaluate all possibilities however.

In an effort to compete for the second category of aircraft carrier contract, the Dominion of Kotterdam offers for your consideration the Verdun-class nuclear escort carrier.

Notes
Concieved as a companion ship to the Dominion-class Aircraft Carrier to lend DKN CVBGs more punch, the Verdun incorporates all the technological advancements of its older sister and one more: Electromagnetic catapults. Despite having the same number of catapults, the smaller ship can launch fighters twice as fast.

Sorry about that, I haven't been able to log on all weekend. My choses will be made within the next couple of days.

OOC: K' thanks. I was just wondering.

WA: What is the crew complament/capabilities on your two carriers?

WA: What is the crew complament/capabilities on your two carriers?


The ‘Standard’ carrier has a TOTAL crew (Ship’s Crew plus Airwing and Aircrew) of approx. 3,500 and the Light has a crew of about 3,100.

OOC: Sorry, that should've been higher up in the description...

OOC: Sorry, that should've been higher up in the description...

OOC: Actualy, my bad! I do not know how I missed that!

IC:
We have finally made our dissision!
In keeping with our nations desire to "diversify" our military, we have decided to purchase from a few of you. Thanks for the entrees!

Agnosticium: Thanks for the deal offered. Unfortunatly, we could not see buying all the carriers from you. We would, however, like 1 Oppressor class and 2 Escorts! Total cost = 8.3 billion

Katterdan: We would like to order 1 Dominion Class carrier. Cost = 2.6 billion

Soviet Haaregrad: Your Amon Amarth Class carrier, great design! I would like to order 2 please. Cost = 5.2 billion

Weastern Asia: I would like 2 from you as well. Both the "Light Type." Cost = 5.6 billion

Total cost = 21.7 billion.

Soviet Haaregrad: Your Amon Amarth Class carrier, great design! I would like to order 2 please. Cost = 5.2

Confirmed, it's good to see my shipyards getting some major sales action. My navy is built up nicely for awhile so I shant be buying anything until like RL November.

Order Confirmed. Your carrier should be arriving in approximately one NS year. (1 RL day)

The Newer England, We'd like to thank you for your decision to purchase three of our vessels and your order has been confirmed. The keels will be laid down within 48 hours and the ships themselves ready for sea trials in seven months. They will be constructed at our Iminor Docking facility that was completed three months ago and has been awaiting large projects. The carriers will each have their own drydocking and wet dock facilities and should be finished within a total of 11 months. Delivery will be made within a year. (I RP 1 day=1 month, but you can have them whenever your year is completed, but the same timeline).

The funds can be wired directly to our office in Tyrael. We can either have skeleton crews sail the vessels to your choice of ports or you can send the crews here to sail them back yourselves. We will have advisors stay with the ships until everyone is trained up on the equipment and comfortable in their roles.

2 X 'Light'-type (Ehud Barak-Class) WA Trimaran Aircraft Carrier@ $2.8bn/unit= $5.6bn

Confirmed. Our shipyards are currently filling an rather large order for Ell (which means that large-scale production is underway already) so your order will be delivered in about 10 months' time (OOC: 10 days, by my speed). Crews will train your officers if so desired.

Thank you for choosing GINY for your warship needs.
