Kazakhstania has felt the urging need to create a navy for itself. Having only created one of the worlds most powerful and modern Battleships, the Harpoon Class of which we have 2, and crafted one of the worlds first armed Mini-subs, the Zulu Class, of which we have a full fleet of 20. We are proud of how we have accomplished all these working vessels and sold them on the market, and plan to continue with our production.
So, in starting our navy we have created a brand new Missile Frigate. We have started large, and now are getting smaller. Market research has found the world’s nations are not getting enough Frigates in their fleets, and we are proud to have produced a new destroyer to compete in the market, and convince the world market to buy more of these necessary products. So, we announce to you, the Lance Class Frigate.
Lance Class Missile Frigate

Design
The Lance Class has been designed to lead the way in the flood of next generation ships. We have noticed the large numbers of stealth ships, and thought we should create our own, to keep up in the modern battlefield. Therefore we had to create our own stealth Frigate. There are numerous limitations to the stealth ship, but we have driven round these, with a number of ingenious ideas.
Most of the weapons on the ship are internal, and this brings some limitations to the ship’s weapons load. The design is made up of constantly changing surfaces, to preserve stealth. The fabric on the outside is made of Radar Absorbing Material, to soak up radar. Also, the metal the ship is made of is not in fact metal. It is in fact Plastic and Fibres, coated in a highly dense Epoxy-Resin Honeycomb. This is in fact stronger than steel, titanium, and most other metals for ship armour.
The sectors on the ship are divided up in small waterproof fronts, which can be sealed off in the event of fire or water leakage. The engine is a Hydrogen Engine, which produces little heat and does not give off exhaust. This lowers the infrared output to, well, nothing. The Fibre and Epoxy Resin soak up any heat produced. The material of the armour is actually, amazingly, non magnetic. This means there are few magnetic sensors that can pick it up.
Systems
The systems on this ship are identical to those on the Harpoon Class. They are, however, electronically hardened to reduce the static given. Here:
There are many, many systems on this boat. It is electronically advanced, and most things are computerized. This allows for a crew of a little over 900. Indeed, the turrets are crewless and aimed by a computer, as are most of the weapons. All the systems are detailed here, which of there are many.
There are 6 sonar devices, which are not that good. They are straight off a Perry Class Destroyer, and can detect submarines from a great distance, and passes the info to the weapons computer. The weapons computer does what it says. It takes in targets positions, and automatically chooses the best weapon depending on the circumstances. It can be manually done, and must be monitors for IFF decisions.
There is also an Identification program, which labels the craft for identification.
A varied version of JTIDS is used. In this version, it takes info straight from the computers and configures it. It automatically passes it around info straight from the sensors, to the computers and all computers around the ship. It then passes the info around to all sources that are detailed by the person manning it. But there is one glorious thing about this new JTIDS. It takes in info from outside sources, and communicates ‘em to the weapon computer, for firing. This greatly helps for shore targeting and the like.

The radar on this ship is new. It is a KZ-4 Ultra Power Radar. With a huge range of 250nm and a height max of 80,000 feet, it is rumoured to have detected an Aurora on the atmosphere. Amazing. Also, there are the KZ-6,7 and 8 sensors. These are high power Infrared, Laser and Optical Sensors. Also, there is a powerful KZ-112 Sonar, which can detect subs such as the Orion, at 80nm. It is an active and passive sonar device.
Weaponry
Here, is a weaponry list:
Single 110mm Electro Thermal Chemical Cannon with 150 round Magazine.
Two Quad SAAM-3F Surface to Air Missiles
Four Quad Celled Harpoon Surface to Surface Missiles
Two AK-630/IGLA-SKZ CIW Systems
One Pop Up ASROC Mk-46 ASW Torpedo Launcher
Twelve Depth Charges
Four Anti Submarine Mortars
One Hangar
The 110mm ETC Cannon is fed by 10 rotating magazines in a pass forward belt. The Quad SAM’s are in the weapons hold in the middle of the ship, behind two slide back doors. The Harpoon Missiles share the same technique as the SAM’s, and the CIWS systems are in a shielded stealth container on deck. The pop up ASROC launcher is on a lift under deck in front of the main gun, and lifts up through a slide back door on use. The depth charges are at the rear, under the hanger, and are pushed forward through a rear door. The ASW Mortars are also in pup up lift cells. The hangar can hold one Medium sized Helicopter, such as a SH-60, KA-64 or Merlin.
All the weapons are in very, very stealthy containers. Also included are Six Anti Missile Lasers with a range of 1,250 metres each. Between the CIWS systems and Lasers, almost no missiles can get through. Now, stats:
Displacement: 3,280 tons full load
Dimensions: 125 x 15.4 x 4 meters
Propulsion: 4 Hydrogen Engines, 2 Shafts, 17,600 bhp, 35 knots
Crew: 156
Aviation: Aft helicopter deck and hangar; 1 helicopter
Troops: 25 Special Forces
Radar: KZ-4 Ultra Power Air Search Radar
Fire Control: JTIDS-8
EW: KZ-6,7 and 8
Armament:
Single 110mm Electro Thermal Chemical Cannon with 150 round Magazine.

Four Anti Submarine Mortars
One Hangar
Cost: $600,000,000
