The Community is searching for a nation to supply us with an assault package and escorts so that we can expand the number of troops that can be transported over the sea. Our current capacity is too low, it is 8000 troops, we wish to extend this to perhaps 12,000.

We are also looking for a comprehensive supply package, with escorts. We are not entirely sure what escorts are needed for either of these fleets.

Im afraid ive not completed all my work on ships to be able to sell them but here are some tips when buying on what you will need:

Submarines can be a problem, to stop this you will need ASW ships, or USW as they are sometimes known as.
To help when having an amphibious assault you may need fire support, missiles are best for this. Arsenal ships are designed to carry 100s of missiles, just one ship can do a lot of damage!
You will also have to have some sort of airsupport, a super carrier can cost billions, so its best when your young to go for a light carrier, and AA destroyers/cruisers(called aegis or something mainly).
For an amphibious assault, a ship such as the tarawa class are perfect, they have a flight deck that can be used for harriers to give ground support, while the light carrier can get on with stopping enemy aircraft, as well as a docking well so they can unload tanks and troops.

In other words, you need fire support, asw, aa and dont forget your good old battle ship! All of this needs to be able to keep up with the great speeds of the carrier, and has to be constantly resuplied.
