Kazakhstania

Kazakhstania has not got a navy. It has got 5 submarines, but they have not arrived yet. We have not even purchased a LCAC. Still, we have tried really hard to get these two projects done by the end on today. We have got them here, and hope you like 'em.
Zulu Class Mini-Sub

Design
Designed to be a small armed minisub, some things had to be taken into consideration. First, it had to be small, yet fast. So, we took that into mind. Also, it had to be armed, with torpedo tubes. Easily do-able, we thought. Also, it mus thvae decent electronics and surveillance systems. So, we did it.
The whole body is basically a scaled down seawolf. It is quarter size, and still holds the seawolfs shape. Indeed, when berther on the seawolf they look like father and son. We used this heavily, in building, and utilised 5 models. The whole thing can dive to 2,600 metres, due to ultra strength all around.
To gain speed, we put in a scaled down Kilo Class engine. It turns a 6 bladed propellor, and is diesel electric. It could be recharged mid voyage, and powers everything ont he boat, including electronics. It has power for 100 miles of sailing at full speed (30 knots) unloaded.
But, 55 knots was not achieved, especially not with 8 torpedoes. So, we came up with something brilliant. We basically took a torpedo engine, and tripled the size. Then, we enlargened the bottom of the boat, and slammed the engine of the largened torpedo in. Hatches were placed at the front and back, and the whole thing was placed in a watertight container. And voila!, intstant super cavitating minisub. The hatches opened when it was activated, and a top speed of 61 knots fully loaded was achieved.
Now, the tubes would be easy. The front of the boat was lentghened. 4 tubes were put into the front for horizontal firing of full scale torpedoes, and 4 vertical tubes were added for firing upwards of full scale modified Mk 46 Torpedoes. Both work just like the real thing, so no need explaining.
It is a fairly basic outer design, and serves its purpose well. We hope you like.
Systems
There are several systems on the boat. The first are the outer surveylance (sp?) systems. These include 2 camera's, mounted on the nose and middle, and several searchlights. Also, thermal and infrared imagers are used on the camera's. These allow for the bottom of the ocean to be scanned, and wrecks like the Titanic.
The sonar involved is again a mini version of that on the Seawolf. There are two, passive and active, both powerful to ranges of 10 miles. They can detect other subs and surface ships, and are great at tracking.
The targetting systems are fairly basic. They allow for target recongition, torpedo homing and detection. They can be monitored by one Sonarman. We, however, recommend 1 for sonar watch and 2 for the torpedoes.
Weaponary
There are 8 tubes, 4 vertical and 4 horizontal. The level ones cn be reloaded, whereas the vertical ones need to be in port for that. They are all fired using compressed air, and can take a variety of torpedoes. There are no other arms carried.
We hope you like, or at least I have entered. Thankyou.
Stats:
Length: 88 feet
Draft: 9 feet
Beam: 10 feet
Arnament: 8 Torpedo Tubes
Cost: $10,000,000

Thankyou, once more.
