As our empire expands and our economic grows right along with it the emperor is searching for a single contractor to biuld the following ships.

Battleships (5)
Cruisers (15)
Destroyers (15)
Minesweepers (20)
Minelayers (15)
Submarines - attack (60)
Submarines - nuclear (5)
Corvettes - (10)
Aircraft Carrier - (3)
Patrol Boats - (50)
Oilers - (25)
Cargo Ships - (100)
Landind Craft - (100 of each [infantry, vehicle])

We are looking at prices and the speed in which they are built. This new fleet will be centered on our eastern coast off the city of Barcelona.

We would be interested in building most of this if you can give us the classes you want (Like Iowas for BB's or something) or your own specs for that type of ship

OOC: I dont know my navy stats

IC: We would like to here what you think is best. That way we have some foreign opinion and the opinion of those who know their stuff.

Your dreadnoughts and other vessels are almost done. Remember ordering them?

Yes I did, and thank you.

Would you mind if I ordered another five for my new fleet? If not money wired.

Oh yea, this is not the contract, this is just a "sub deal".

Thank you.

OOC: Think you've done a pretty good job on your numbers there, maybe a little higher ratio of the destroyers and cruisers to the battleships, though we personally believe that battleships are nowadays a waste of money.

The Dominion of Talkos has a limited offer on it's Gato Class Light Attack submarines. The last time we offered them on the open market they sold out so quick we were forced to take them off the market to improve our stocks, they're the cheapest diesel submarines around. At $40 million per they're so cheap you could just ram your enemies ships with them, they're perfect to fill out a developing nation's expanding navy, good for patrol duties, interdictions and blockades, covert ops and anti-sub warfare, though outclassed by most modern attack subs on a one on one basis, the sheer fact that you could field about 20 Gatos to every Seawolf or Virginia....well, you can do the math.

Gato Class Submarines:
Displacement: 1526 tons surfaced, 2424 tons submerged
Length: 311'
Beam: 27'3"
Draft: 16'10"
Speed: 20 knots surfaced, 9 knots submerged
Armament: 3"gun/.50machine gun, 6 bow and 4 stern torpedo tubes, 24 21" torpedoes (loaded tubes plus reloads: 10 forward, 4 aft)
Complement: 80
Operating Depth: 300 feet
Cruising Range: 11,000 miles surfaced at 10 knots.
Submerged Endurance: 48 hours at 2 knots.
Fuel Capacity: 94,400 gallons.
Patrol Endurance: 75 days.
Diesel engines, surfaced/electric motors, submerged
Propulsion: Diesel-electric reduction gear with 4 main generator engines,
1 aux. generator.
4 main motors with 5,400 shaft horse power.
2 126-cell main storage batteries.

Five dreadnoughts? Of course we will build them. :)

We would like to purchase 40 Gato's coming to 1.600 billion.

*money wired*

OOC: Now I'll lower the sub number.

The Oilers I am still working out, and when you say landing craft do you mean something that can move them over an ocean and carry an air wing to support them like a Wasp Class LHD or like a landing craft or AAV or something

*money wired*

OOC: Now I'll lower the sub number.

Alright, we will either send them over with prize crews or you can send over your own sailors to take them back to your home ports. Thank you for your business.

@ SnS

We will purchase your contract. Can we pay in three installments?

Yes three installments is more then fine with us, we expect our shipyard companies won't mind it too much either.

The final date for completion of this grand fleet (Using 1 day = 1 year) is in 7 rl days, we will be of course shipping them as soon as they are completed so most of it will be there within 4 rl days, the full oiler, Battleship, and Aircraft Carriers won't be there until 7 rl days.

Thank you for your business

Thank you very much!
