The Federal Navy has authorized the selling of several of it's older battleships sitting in the Home Fleet (Or to be built on order) in order to recieve funds to kep the major shipyards afloat. Ships are also being sold from the Home Fleet after De-commisioning, those funds go directly to the Federal Navy, they will be slightly cheaper(About $200,000,000) cheaper, though will have higher operating costs (And possibly need re-fitting), and any possible custom orders cannot be purchased from the Home Fleet. Ships ordered from the shipyards will take some time to complete (3 RL Days, 4-5 RL Days for the Excelsiors) and will be brand new.

All ships, upon completion, will be sent to a port of your choosing by a Federal crew, which will be returned to my Naval Command by an escorting ship.


NOTE: We strive for realistic Modern-tech ships, if you find anything unreasonable, do tell. And finally, some of these ships are Nuclear powered, others are conventional, how to tell the difference. Under propulsion, if it says Nuclear Reactor(s) then it's Nuclear, and if your under a month old you can't buy it, as you should have a basic understanding of Nuclear power. If it says Boiler(s) then it's conventionally powered.

Price - 1.8 Billion (Not available from Home Fleet)

Falastur would like to purchase 2 King I Class Battleships from the Home Fleet, 1 King II Battleship from the Home Fleet, and would like to order 2 Excelsior Class Battlships. These ships will be put through trials, in order to determine whether they would make good additions to our own fleet.

Cost:

12.3 Billion, right?

12.05 Billion to be exact.

Order confirmed, would you like them all at once (You'll have to wait 4 RL days for the Excelsiors to be built in this case) or the ones from the Home Fleet to be sent at once and the Excelsiors to be sent later

Please send the Home Fleet ships as soon as they are ready, and the Excelsiors as soon as they are built. Thank you.

~~Money Wired~~

Very well, they are on their way (Arrival around 6:30PM US Eastern), also remember to check back often, as new ships will be added as we assess what to sell. The Warrior class Battlecruiser has just been added

You need a pic.

We require one for the new home defense fleet.

I do need some pics, however since these are my own designs, with some odd additions I can't find any. Though if I find pics that suit me I'll put them up, the Warrior is essentially a modern Alaska class Cruiser, that pic will be coming soon

Could you specify which type of warship you would like?

King I (BB)
King II (BB)
Excelsior (BB)
Warrior (CB)

BUMP, ok, but an informative Bump.

The pics I put up are back down, it's to easy to skip over some other ships with the pics there, so once I have pics for every ship, I'll post them up. Other then that, I'll be on for about another 8 minutes, after that all orders will be confirmed around 6:00PM US Eastern

I WILL BUY THE FOLLOWING
400 EXCELSIOR CLASS BATTLESHIPS
400 WARRIOR CLASS BATTLESHIPS
400 KING 1 CLASS BATTLESHIPS
400 KING 2 CLASS BATTLESHIPS

1600 BATTLE SHIPS MONEY WIRED

Err..... beyond the fact that that order will destroy your military budget (In fact, you'll have no budget, you'll be in a deficit) 800 heavy capitol ships is an unthinkable amount for any nations, seriously tone it down.

Major BUMP

COMING SOON

This has turned into simply a Naval storefront for warships, though we can build yachts as well. Below is a list of the ships coming soon, and feel free to ask for any other types of ships

Ark Royal class Fleet Carrier
Athena class Light Carrier
Tiberius class Cruiser
Archwald class Missile Cruisers
Russels class Destroyers
Jutland class Destroyers
Chesapeake Bay class Destroyers
Sulu Sea class Frigates
Fast Attack Patrol Boats

1x King I class BB (from home fleet)
1x King II class BB (home fleet)
1x Warrior class Battlecruiser
*money wired*

6.05 Billion recieved, would you like the ships to come in one group (You'll have to wait for the Warrior to be done) or the ones available to go now, and the Warrior to come later.

Anyone know of any pictures of the Richelieu firing one of it's cannons?

I'll take an Excelsior. Money wired.

2.9 Billion recieved, Construction beginning at Port Royal
