The ARSB wishes to announce the production of a carrier, a medium-sized carrier capable of carrying up to 50 aircraft. The carrier will be built mostly to carry ASW, Anti-ship, and other maritime-mission aircraft, with a slighly different version built for carrying general aircraft.

The maritime mission ship will most likely carry 25 DP-21GL anti-ship aircraft (DP-21G modified for anti-ship roles), 12 DP-21A, 13 HVN-03M ASW helicopters. Also, each ship may carry a single CL-17 airborne radar and warning aircraft. Some variants may have slightly different numbers of aircraft such as an ASW-oriented carrier may carry more HVN-03Ms as well as CL-17AW ASW aircraft.

The general purpose ship will most likely carry a variety of different fighters with at least one CL-17 airborne radar aircraft and at least 6 DP-21A to fill the role of anti-aircraft interceptors and EW.

Both orders confirmed (I assume Jermvile wished to purchase 1).

Production time= 8 NS Months per unit, we will be able to built two units in 12 NS months due to an already aligned industry, and other factors. So, we can have both carriers finished in 1 NS year (We'll go with 1 day=1 NS year for this).
