[OOC: A little RP, even just "My navy would like..." is preferred. Also, one RL day = one NS year for the purposes of this storefront.]

Please check out our new storefront here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=361894) or at the International Mall (http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php?showforum=91) for the most up-to-date information on RSIN products.

Welcome to the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland. The RSIN Corporation, comprising all royal and partnered private shipyards within the UKIN, builds a wide range of vessels, from nuclear battleships and fleet carriers to coastal patrol vessels. Please feel free to advance submissions suited to your needs. We also consider alternative payment schedules. Valued customers pay less!

The RSIN is continually building newer vessels to suit the needs of both the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy and our export customers. Our ships possess many safety features including distributed fire mains, extensive use of fire resistant materials, lightweight ceramic and ballistic nylon protection for magazines and machinery, separated engine compartments, and redundant fibre-optic wiring trunks and computer complexes. Surface combatants within the RSIN catalogue have been equipped with the superlative NAIADS (Naval Autonomous and Integrated Air Defence System) offering improved performance over existing AEGIS and PAAMS equipped warships. Also, all RSIN-built ships feature strengthened bows and keels to cope with the threat of North Atlantic ice-floes.

Partnered Yards: Jimnam-Isselmere-Nieland (JIN) Yards (Jimnam; MFN); Frenchfor Naval Yard (FNY; Frenchfor Quarter, Kay Son; MFN); Chiang Lo Naval Yard (CLNY; Chiang Lo, Kay Son; MFN)
[OOC: A typical contract (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6105754&postcount=25) for partnership contracts.]

Copyrights: All vessels, vehicles, systems, and other devices not manufactured by a RL or NS producer are assumed to have been registered and patented in the UKIN by the RSIN and/or its associated domestic suppliers [OOC: barring any forthcoming information] and fall under international legislation governing intellectual property. Do not copy statistics here and post them as your own. There are plenty of decent web sites out there providing RL examples of ships, in particular http://www.naval-technology.com. Production, reverse engineering, sale, and/or lease of the aforementioned vessels, vehicles, systems, and other devices not conforming to the express permission granted by a legally binding licence agreement between the licensee and the licensor (the RSIN) is an infringement of international law that shall be met with appropriate legal or other measures.

Policy: All prices listed in United States of American/NationStates’ dollars (USD; confusing phrasing, I admit). Using Pipian (http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?), the Thrace-Tailteann budgetary calculator (http://members.fortunecity.com/thracetailteann/html/gnp.html), the Thirdgeek economic calculator (http://www.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=), or other budgetary/economic/GDP calculator used by your nation (if other, please provide a link) so long as that calculator is not grossly inaccurate, a nation's purchasing power is assumed to be based on a standard rate of 4% of the national budget (i.e., a 12% defence budget divided by 3 assuming the services receive equal funding) unless otherwise indicated by the purchaser and the level of defence spending as stated on the nation's index page (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/90521/page=display_nation). (Four-percent is the assumed naval budget for a nation without mention of defence spending on their index page.) Please do not order more than you can afford, unless we agree to spread out your payments over several NS years in accordance with a previously arranged payment schedule. Background checks will be made. Please do not order more than presented production levels unless you are willing to wait until the order is completed. This request goes for packages as well, for which I am very sorry, unless you are willing to accept barely used vessels (at a slightly reduced cost). I apologise in advance for this inconvenience.

Seahorse DSA.1 uncrewed attack submersible (http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/dagger/images/dagger2.jpg)

This new submersible drone contains all the best features of Lyme and Martens earlier submersibles as well as the Royal Shipyards own vast experience with submarine construction. The "Seahorse" can use its various sensors to map shorelines before amphibious assaults, provide data regarding enemy fleet movement, as well as engage enemy shipping with the two lightweight torpedoes it can carry.

The central spine contains the various masts the "Seahorse" requires for surface survival and surveillance: schnorkel, signals receivers and transmitters, multifunction radar, and optronic periscope. The "Seahorse" may be programmed either to operate within a specific grid area using its inertial navigation system to maintain station, or on an autonomous attack mission based on information fed into the "Seahorse" before launching. The "Seahorse's" acoustic processors may be updated before launch with up-to-date acoustic signatures to provide the drone with (a) specific target(s).

All in all, the "Seahorse" will provide your navy with the answers it needs to counter today's massive fleets.

Squid DSM.1 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) (http://www.ise.bc.ca/images/explorer.gif)

The DSM.1 (drone, submersible, multipurpose) Squid is the RINN's standard submersible drone. The "Squid" may be launched either from its parent submarine's drone housing (RSIN vessels purchased with the "Squid" have these housings) or may swim out of a standard RINN (585mm) or larger torpedo tube. It is powered by high-efficiency fuel cells driving a high-power electric motor. With its clean hydrodynamic shape and quiet propulsion, the DSM.1 is very silent when it needs to be. The "Squid" is a modular design that can be configured to complete several missions. In its most common configuration, it has a module containing three noisemaker/torpedoes (NT module or NTM) that may be used to defend the submarine from enemy attack or may be guided by the DSM.1 to perform a limited assault. The explosive NTs travel at about 6 knots and are equipped with a small sonar seeker head. Alternatively, the "Squid" may carry a 20mm cannon firing supercavitating rounds (SCRs; up to fifteen carried). Generally the "Squid" travels at between 3-5 knots, although the DSM.1 can shoot off at a short-range burst speed of 20-25 knots when threatened, clouding its wake with NTs.

The "Squid" serves as a marine mine detector/neutraliser and as a short range sonar probe. In the former mission, the "Squid" may either be controlled by an operator via fibre-optic microcable (FOMC) or operate autonomously using its Lyme & Martens patented "Kingfisher" automatic target recognition system (ATR) in conjunction with its short-range pinpoint active sonar to locate mines. When the "Squid" detects a mine, it may attach an explosive device using one of its three explosive NTs to neutralise the mine. The DSM.1 may guide the NT to the mine by FOMC or via the AUV's acoustic-acoustic modem. Alternatively, the DSM.1 may use SCRs to detonate the mine. (Needless to say, exploding a mine would reveal the presence of the submarine.)

As a remote sonar probe to deliver real time intelligence to the parent submarine, the "Squid" trails a length of fibre-optic microcable (FOMC; up to 5 km contained within the "Squid") to transmit the drone's sonar data to the parent submarine for processing. If some rapidity is required (up to 25 knots on a straight course) or if the "Squid" is to remain on station for an extended period of time, a thicker power umbilical, which also serves as a towed array, to the parent submarine can be used so as to not drain the "Squid's" fuel cells and battery. The umbilical also serves as a towed array. (Umbilical option only available on RSIN built ships with drone davits.) Alternatively, the "Squid" can be sent out to autonomously map sensitive areas or to gather other intelligence such as enemy fleet dispositions. The DSM.1 is guided by its advanced inertial navigation systems and its short-range collision avoidance sonar.

An autonomous "Squid" may communicate with its parent submarine via an acoustic-acoustic modem. This communication system also allows the DSM.1 to return to its housing for debriefing. At great distances, however, the "Squid" may home into a particular sound signature emitted from the parent submarine. This sound signature beacon uses slightly modified calls of resident sea creatures, which may be updated in the field to fit circumstances, allowing the parent submarine and the DSM.1 to remain undetected.

OOC: Minor note, and this is sadly a very common mistake.
Missile launchers aboard ships don't carry reloads. The main reason is that loading large missiles into launchers at sea is prohibitively difficult, as well as time consuming, and if there's enough space, designers will always just increase the number of launchers as well (this is especially true of VLS - if you can afford the space for extra missiles, you can afford the space for extra cells). The only missiles that ever have reloads carried are small SAMs like Stingers, Sea Sparrows, and RAMs, which are small and light enough to be reloaded either by hand or with minimal equipment, and this is only when they're fired from box launchers. Again, if VLS launched, designers just add more cells.

Weapons

GWS.41.2 Loon anti-submarine missile (http://www.worldweapon.narod.ru/image/shema3m51.jpg) [fig. 2] (http://www.mbda.net/test_phototheque/photos/milas_2.jpg)

Figure 1 illustrates an early preproduction version, whereas figure 2 is an early production model.

The "Loon" is an anti-submarine missile that can be launched either from surface ships or submarines. It carries 200-350kg lightweight (i.e. 324mm) torpedo to the last noted position of the target before releasing its payload.

The weight of the launch vehicle, with booster but without the torpedo, is about 500kg (497.94kg; 376.71kg without booster). With an MU 90 torpedo, the Loon can attain a range of up to 60km, with an initial speed (ballistic phase) of up to Mach 2.25. The launch vehicle can be continuously updated by the firing vessel while in flight. Once the booster engine has been detached, the Loon cruises to the target using a high efficiency turbojet engine at trans-sonic (high subsonic) speed. Above the target, the launch vehicle releases the payload, which then parachutes into the water and proceeds to seek its foe.

The Loon can be launched by a ship equipped with a Mk.41 VLS, or a ship or submarine able to fire a Tomahawk missile.

GWS.47 Robin small diameter bomb (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/images/smalbomb.jpg)

The GWS.41 "Robin" is a small diameter bomb designed to penetrate deep targets with precision, power, and the absolute minimum weight. Measuring only 1.83 metres in length and 15.24 centimetres in diameter, this 115 kg device can crack through two metres of reinforced concrete with its armour piercing steel casing, something which required 908 kg bombs previously.

Using its anti-jam GPS targetting system, the "Robin" can correct its attack autonomously once dropped. The "Robin" may be dropped as far away as 24 km from the target with a minute circular error probable (CEP; i.e. potential miss radius) of three metres, or twenty-six metres CEP if only the small three-axis laser INS is operable.

Characteristics
Dimensions: length: 1.83 m; diameter: 15.24 cm
Mass: 115 kg
Warhead: 22.7 kg in armour-piercing steel casing

GWS.50 Pigeon anti-radar and autonomous attack weapon (http://www.lockheedmartin.com/data/assets/4552.jpg)

Test model. (http://www.astronautix.com/graphics/t/tacitrai.jpg)

The "Pigeon" is a small, lightweight UAV designed primarily for single-use search-and-destroy missions.

The "Pigeon" possesses lightweight electro-optical sensors (light-intensification and infra-red) and an advanced passive radar/signals receiver and initial processor (radar warning (RW) and direction-finding (DF)) to identify its prey. An identification friend or foe (IFF) aerial runs along the belly of the drone to avoid attacking friendlies, while the secure Link 17G data link ensures that a human can be kept in the loop just in case.

Should no enemy signals be detected within the pre-programmed zone of attack or interest, the "Pigeon" can loiter. The area of interest can be altered in flight either by a control station or by the drone itself if it should pick up enemy signals within its range. (The "Pigeon" can estimate the fuel required to reach a target using a mote.)

Characteristics
Functions: real-time reconnaissance and attack aerial vehicle
Dimensions: length: 2.31m; diameter: 0.275m (housed); wingspan: 0.82m (deployed)
Mass: 188 kg (total), 20 kg warhead
Propulsion: turbofan
Range: maximum (no return): 450 km+; combat (full speed, no return): 120 km+

GWS.52 Pelican anti-ship missile (http://homepage.eircom.net/~steven/images/noranti.jpg)

The GWS.52 "Pelican" was developed by Lyme and Martens Industries to replace the GWS.39.3 "Jewel" (Yakhont-3) in domestic service.

The "Pelican," like the "Pigeon" is really a one-way drone with many advanced features allowing it to evade most missile defences as it approaches its targets. Like its siblings the "Rook" and the "Tern," the "Pelican" possesses an effective autonomous operation situational awareness module (AOSAM) permitting the missile to alter its flight characteristics and use its minute radar cross-section and small infra-red signature as well as active jamming (ECM) to counter enemy threats as well as to respond to countermeasures (ECCM), thus giving the "Pelican" a greater probability of successful strikes.

Like the GWS.39.3, the GWS.52 can work individually but is even deadlier in flocks. With its Link 17.2G secure data link, the lead "Pelican" operating at altitude can communicate with the other missiles in the flock to assign and prosecute targets ensuring a wider range of strikes against enemy ships. With this data link connection, the "Pelican" can receive targetting information from dedicated reconnaissance satellites, aerial vehicles providing over-the-horizon guidance, or from the firing vehicle. With this information, the GWS.52 can prosecute an enemy from various angles, regulating its thrust to ensure either a staggered or unique arrival time in the target zone. Furthermore, the data link permits attacks to be performed in conjunction with other combat drones, such as the "Puffin" or the "Rook," to minimise probability of intercept. For instance, the "Puffin" or "Rook" can use its search radar to illuminate the enemy fleet allowing the entire flock of "Pelicans" to remain below the enemy radar. Also, "Pelicans" and "Pigeons" can engage in a combined assault against a hostile fleet: the "Pigeons" eliminate the enemy's air defences while the "Pelicans" advance towards their targets.

Adding to the small EM signature of the "Pelican" is its ability to use either its small low-probability of intercept (LPI) radar or imaging infra-red sensors to home in on a specific target without revealing its presence.

When air launched from high altitude (10-15 km), the "Pelican" may initially proceed to target at 10-12 km altitude until its radar warning receivers begin detecting hostile emissions. The "Pelican" then descends to between 20 m and 5 m, or lower if sea states permit, and accelerates towards its targets. From about 50 km away, one missile (if in a flock) ascends to acquire targets and transmits this data to the other missiles as it descends. This hi-lo profile and the "Pelican's" supercruise turbo-ramjet engine allows a maximum range of 560 km. When either air launched from low altitude, or surface or submarine launched, the "Pelican" may opt for a lo-hi-lo attack profile, allowing attacks from as far away as 325 km. The "Pelican" may also perform a direct lo-lo assault. Using supercruise, the GWS.52 can prosecute targets from over 240 km distant, while operating at full speed (Mach 3+) the "Pelican" can travel up to 175 km to its prey.

All in all, the GWS.52 offers a great advance in the field of modern naval superiority.

GWS.57 Erne surface-to-air missile (http://www.eurosam.com/blocks/images/AS30%20V.jpg)

A replacement for the SM-2.IIIB and Aster-30 missiles currently in service with several navies, the "Erne" uses existing technologies to create an extremely agile and fast missile capable of defeating the most dangerous foes equipped with scramjet technology. The mixture of sensors on the GWS.57 as well as its inertial or command midcourse guidance (updated via secure datalink) ensure that the "Erne" is very resistant to ECM or other countermeasures. Lastly, its well-proven flight control systems, with thrust-vectoring granting high maneuvrability up to 12 Gs and the PIF-PAF (Pilotage en Force - Pilotage Aerodynamique Fort) reaction control enabling maneuvres of up to 60 Gs, ensure that even the most pesky of foes is easily swatted from your skies.

Characteristics
Dimensions:length: 4.8 m; diameter: (thruster): 35.66 cm, (terminal intercept dart): 32.7 cm
Mass: 664 kg
Guidance: inertial or command midcourse guidance (through either dedicated directors (AEGIS) or main radar (PAAMS, NAIADS); dual-mode radar sensor terminal homing, IIR, short-range LADAR
Maximum range: 108 nm (200 km)
Maximum altitude of intercept: 50 km (generally 30 km)*
Speed (maximum): Mach 6
Maneuvrability: >60 G
Flight control: Dual thrust solid rocket with thrust vectoring, folding aft control fins, and "PIF-PAF" rapid reaction control thrusters for rapid maneuvres.
Cost: $1.2 million per unit**

[* As is likely evident, the higher the altitude of intercept is, the less horizontal range the missile has. ** Price reduction owing to new information regarding cost of RL systems and factoring in high production rate as well as R & D costs.]

GWS.58 Hurricane multi-purpose surface attack missile

The GWS.58 "Hurricane" was developed by Lyme and Martens Industries for service on the Port-class cruise missile submarines as a very long-range anti-ship/surface attack missile.

The GWS.58 consists of three stages: the booster stage; the scramjet stage, and; the terminal stage powered by a turbo-ramjet. On a standard attack mission, the booster stage lifts the “Hurricane” to an altitude and speed at which the scramjet can engage. Once the scramjet stage exhausts its fuel, the missile glides to attack height and speed before igniting the turbo-ramjet. The “Hurricane” then proceeds towards its target.

The “Hurricane” is equipped with a version of the “Pelican’s” AOSAM modified for hypersonic flight. The AOSAM permits the “Hurricane” to select the best course towards the target while minimising the missile’s presence to enemy systems. The “Hurricane” can engage in direct hypersonic strikes against targets (up to 400 km) or may engage in more subtle, stealthy approaches using the terminal stage’s turbo-ramjet. The terminal stage possesses all of the superb counter-measures of the successful “Pelican” missile and is almost as manoeuvrable.

Like the GWS.52 “Pelican”, the GWS.58 can operate either individually or in flocks. Targeting information can be continuously updated both among other missiles in the flock or by satellite or ship through secure channels.

The terminal stage of the GWS.58 uses a LPI radar to guide the “Hurricane” towards its target, although it may be guided by GPS as well. Purely hypersonic attacks are often conducted purely under GPS guidance.

Notes on Defence Procurement in NS

To establish your military budget, you could use one of the calculators listed on the entry post of the first page of this topic. Both the Pipian and Thrace-Tailteann calculators allow you to define how much your nation spends on defence, but Thirdgeek is very informative. This budget will be divided between your armed forces (in general, army, navy (includes marines), air force, and, where available, space force). This budget also includes the cost of maintaining both the personnel and equipment and may not, ought not to be used to its full extent for purchases, though everyone does, so don't worry about that.

Now, once you have established your defence budget and have apportioned what quantity of that budget goes to which branch of your armed forces, then you make your purchases. Check out how much you can buy, do the math (people get really irritated and refuse orders unless you do your own math), and buy away. This way you cannot really be accused of "god-modding"/"god-moding" (I am still uncertain of how to spell that term).

Do not, for whomever's sake, forget about the costs of provisioning and equipping your units. Carriers need escorts (for instance, see my carrier battle groups and carrier strike groups). Carriers are ridiculously expensive even before adding on the cost of the aircraft, the weapons for the aircraft, fuel for the aircraft and the ship (this includes nuclear ships, but only about every twelve years [still outrageously expensive]), then do the same for the escorts. Yes, it is that painful. Trust me.

Now, with regards to what I sell: I sell ships, autonomous vehicles, the occasional missile, and, very rarely, aircraft, and only specific types of aircraft at that. For land and air systems you can check many places. Clan Smoke Jaguar generally has the most realistic prices and formations (battalion size and up), but there are many others. United Elias is good for aircraft and weapons as well. Like much in life, it doesn't hurt to window shop: you'll eventually develop a good military that'll whoop someone real horrorshow, to quote "A Clockwork Orange."

Remember, spending 15% of your national budget on defence is a big deal (the US spends 16.29% of its budget on defence), and the Soviets spent up to 17% of their GNP on defence before their collapse. If you want to increase your defence budget, you had best improve your economic situation. To do that, dismiss a fair number of issues. It works wonders. Don't exactly know why.

Auk DHM.1 multipurpose helicopter drone, Puffin DHEW.1 airborne early warning helicopter drone (http://home.att.net/~brisbane-adams/qh-50catsea.jpg) [fig. 2] (http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/firescout/images/firescout_5.jpg)

Fig. 1 depicts an early unchassised prototype model depicted, fig. 2 a prototype with traditional penny-farthing rotors.

The DHM.1 "Auk" is a multipurpose helicopter drone capable of performing anti-submarine and anti-surface ship operations, fire observation for naval artillery, over-the-horizon missile guidance, low-level real-time reconnaissance, and serving as a secure communications relay. With its search radar and advanced electro-optical sensor turret (low-light television, infra-red, and laser ranging), the "Auk" can also serve as a picket both against low flying aircraft and sea-skimming missiles and submarines.

The "Auk" can take-off and land autonomously and can be directed by friendly ships or helicopters onto submarine targets through secure datalinks simply by providing the drone with real-time sensor information: the "Auk's" laser inertial navigation and global positioning systems (INS and GPS) do the rest. The DHM.1 is able to use its radar warning receivers and short-range missile launch detectors to avoid enemy anti-air action.

Characteristics
Functions: anti-submarine warfare (ASW), naval gunfire direction (NGD), missile guidance, limited anti-ship capability.
Sensors: (Auk): surface/low-level search radar, electro-optical (IIR, LLTV, LIDAR); (Puffin): medium range air/surface search radar

Mass: empty: 625kg; normal gross: 1661kg; weapons payload (maximum): 650kg+
Propulsion: Demers Turbines TMR-41 driving a contra-rotating advancing blade concept (ABC) rotor system and a small ducted fan providing forward thrust
Range: 225 km with 4 hrs. loitering time, or greater than 6 hrs. endurance.
Speed: 230+ km/h
Payload: 2 centreline stations, each capable of holding 325 kg mass; load-bearing wings can be attached.
Price: $6.5 million (DHM.1), $12 million (DHEW.1); $5 million for ground or tactical control stations (not necessary for RSIN produced ships with either the Type 31L or Type 33L landing systems).

Rook DRA.1 UMAV (http://www.eads.net/xml/content/OF00000000400004/6/26/517266.jpg)

The “Rook” is a multipurpose drone that may be launched from cruiser-sized helicopter landing platforms, aircraft carriers, or from ground stations. It is a very stealthy machine when flying clean on reconnaissance, missile guidance, or fire spotting duties, and carries such sensors and systems as synthetic aperture radar (SAR), enhanced electro-optical imaging, automatic target recognition (ATR), a secure global positioning system (GPS), inertial guidance (for those just-in-case situations), a Link 17G secure datalink relay. It can also play dirty by carrying up to four Hellfire or similarly sized missiles on four wing stations (six if two Stingers are carried for self-protection) and use its laser rangefinder-designator to perform light attack missions.

Cruisers or larger ships launch the “Rook” using a smaller version of the electromagnetic aircraft launching system (EMALS) used on the Royal Edmund-class carriers. This launching system produces an extremely small magnetic signature, less even than a colour television, so neither the launching vessel nor the “Rook’s” systems damaged. The Type 33L Tuesday helicopter landing system (which may be reconfigured to suit your navy’s specifications) guides the “Rook” in for landing, facilitating recovery in conditions up to sea state 4. The “Rook” recovers with an electromagnetic aircraft recovery systems (EARS) using two high tensile strength cables strung across the deck. Thrust reversers act to brake the DRA.1 even quicker. In case of missed cable, a lightweight mesh barricade protects both the “Rook” and the ship from most damage. Alternatively, the “Rook” can land on a Walmsley-class or larger aircraft carrier.

The Rook may operate somewhat autonomously using a pre-configured flight plan should communication with the ground control station (GCS) be lost, or should the GCS have to release control of the Rook. The DRA.1 can react to the environment using its various sensors (terrain following radar (TFR, use of which increases the radar signature), a radar altimeter, radar warning receiver (RWR) system, automatic self-defence decoy (chaff/flare) dispenser [OOC: a very small number are carried], GPS and laser-digital inertial navigation system (INS) and other systems) to alter waypoints to avoid or otherwise counter enemy anti-air threats (i.e. navigating around active radar sites).

The system can be used as a semi-autonomous attack platform on a preset flight plan, which is reconfigurable in flight to account for anti-air threats, using its automatic target recognition system (ATR) and identification friend or foe interrogator system (IFFI) to acquire and attack targets on its own. The ATR can be, if necessary, be updated by the GCS through direct link or by secure satellite communication link. The Rook can also return to roost autonomously using its GPS and INS should connection with the GCS be lost.

The Rook also can perform limited signals intelligence functions. The DRA.1 can receive signals data through its sensors and transmit that data to the GCS via secure datalink for processing on a dedicated data management system. The processed information may then be fed back into the Rook by the GCS to improve its survivability.

The manufacturers are moving towards developing a version with greater autonomy (the DRA.2), but it is still in the development stage.

Up to four Rooks can be controlled by a ground control station (GCS) or a tactical control station (TCS). A GCS is the size of a standard frieght container, but its functions can be distributed in a tactical control station (TCS) composed of two-HMMWVs (please note: trailers will be required to transport the Rooks to forward locations). Remote piloting of the Rook is assisted by a lightweight helmet-mounted head-up display and military-standard hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS) controls. As both the GCS and TCS use the same secure datalink, the electronic handover is both very easy for one’s own units to achieve and extremely difficult for enemies to disrupt.

Characteristics
Functions: armed reconnaissance, artillery spotting, missile guidance, and target acquisition.
Dimensions: length: 5.5m; wingspan: 4.24m.
Mass: 901.4 kg (empty), 1724.3 kg (maximum take-off mass); weapons payload: 350 kg.

Tern DA.1 UCAV (http://www.eads.net/xml/content/OF00000000400004/8/23/517238.jpg)

The "Tern" is the "Rook's" larger sibling and has approximately twice the weapons payload of the smaller UMAV. The "Tern" uses the same autonomous operation situational awareness module (AOSAM) as the "Rook." The AOSAM allows a drone control unit (DCU) to program in a generalised flight path that the drone may amend to avoid enemy air defences, or to attack high priority targets of opportunity as indicated by its automatic target recognition (ATR). Both the ATR and the "Tern's" mission profile may be updated in flight.

The "Tern" is able to carry three 250kg bombs or comparably sized weapons in three internal weapons bays (approximately 2.8 m long, 30 cm wide, 30 cm deep) for up to 1400 km, or greater with either external or conformal fuel tanks.

Becoming a Partner or Colleague

There are several advantages to opening your nation's doors to either a partnership with or a satellite yard of the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland (RSIN). As a partner, your yards -- and the RSIN, of course! -- gain from the different skill sets and experience of the other so that both the RSIN and your yards manufacture the best possible vessels. As a colleague with a satellite yard, your nation will be able to reduce unemployment and inject funds for investment to further develop or enhance your nation's infrastructure and industry. Both the partnership and the satellite yard system allow your navy to produce RSIN-designed vessels for reduced costs, and production rights for certain types of RSIN products will be granted to your yards for the duration of the agreement with the RSIN.

Initial Benefits
There are many benefits, including the reduced costs of production, to having a partnership with or a satellite yard of the RSIN. First, your yard will receive the production rights to most, if not all, logistics vessels produced by the RSIN as well as production rights for the RSIN's famous River-class corvette.* As the friendship between our nations grows, the requirement to refer the sale of larger ships to UKIN's Foreign Arms Sales Commission (FASC) is gradually removed and the production rights to those larger vessels may be granted.*
(* All the potential grants of production rights and requirement to file orders before the FASC are subject to approval by the UKIN FASC.)

Costs of Production and Fees
The RSIN will receive a fee based on the sum for all orders placed at the partnered yard for every RSIN-designed vessel manufactured at said yard, based on the following formula:

((Standard cost of production) x (favoured nation status)) = Unit Cost of Production

((Partner nation per capita GDP)/(Isselmere-Nieland per capita GDP) + (Partner nation exchange rate)/(Isselmere-Nieland exchange rate))/2 = Labour Cost Variable

(Unit Cost of Production) x (Percentage of Restricted Items*) = Cost of Restricted Items

(* For most surface combatants, this percentage is generally 60%, amphibious assault vessels 55%, auxiliary vessels (excluding minesweepers) 40%, submarines and mine sweepers 80%. Capital ships generally get charged at the going Unit Cost of Production.)

(Unit Cost of Production – Cost of Restricted Items) x Labour Cost Variable = Local Cost of Production

Such that:

(Cost of Restricted Items + Local Cost of Production) = Total Cost of Production*
(* The aforementioned “Total Cost of Production” is dependent on currency exchange rate fluctuations but will not exceed the “Unit Cost of Production.”)

∑ (Total Cost of Production) – (Annual Lease) = Annual Residuals*
(* Both parties must seek an arrangement for what to do should the "Annual Residuals" fall into the red. Either the "Annual Lease" will be on a sliding scale such that should sum awarded in contracts fall below the lease, that difference shall be forgiven, or that the partnership, including all production rights, will lapse.)

This very large order will take a while [OOC: about 4 RL days] to fill completely as we will have to increase the rate of battlecruiser production quite markedly by clearing the carrier slips. All ships would be ready for delivery by [Tuesday, 23 March].

Regrettably, as the packages are already at an over 20% discount, the four carrier-less carrier strike groups would cost a total of $31 billion US [rounded down; $12.33 billion - $2.62 billion = $9.71 billion x 0.8 = $7.768 billion x 4 groups = $31.072 billion]. Therefore, the total cost would be $98.69 billion US. You should be able to pay off the order in time for the completion date. I apologise for the confusion.

Thank you for your order,

GWS.47 Robin (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/images/smalbomb.jpg)

The GWS.41 "Robin" is a small diameter bomb designed to penetrate deep targets with precision, power, and the absolute minimum weight. Measuring only 1.83 metres in length and 15.24 centimetres in diameter, this 115 kg device can crack through two metres of reinforced concrete with its armour piercing steel casing, something which required 908 kg bombs previously.

Using its anti-jam GPS targetting system, the "Robin" can correct its attack autonomously once dropped. The "Robin" may be dropped as far away as 24 km from the target with a minute circular error probable (CEP; i.e. potential miss radius) of three metres, or twenty-six metres CEP if only the small three-axis laser INS is operable.

Characteristics
Dimensions: length: 1.83 m; diameter: 15.24 cm
Mass: 115 kg
Warhead: 22.7 kg in armour-piercing steel casing
Range: (maximum launch range, altitude dependent) 25 km
Guidance: Differential GPS/INS, autonomous, all-weather
Price: $30,000

GWS.48 Starling (http://www.missilesandfirecontrol.com/our_products/strikeweapons/LOCAAS/images/pic-product-locaas.jpg) [fig. 2] (http://www.missilesandfirecontrol.com/our_products/strikeweapons/LOCAAS/images/pic02-locaas_sml.jpg) [fig. 3] (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/images/locaas3.jpg)

The GWS.48 "Starling" is a miniature smart missile that uses laser detection and ranging (LADAR) with improved low visibility performance along with an anti-jam GPS and small laser INS to search an area for targets of opportunity. Its autonomous target recognition (ATR) software will then prosecute the target and select the best warhead mode for the target. Like many advanced AI weapons, this weapon's effectiveness is greatly improved when working as a flock.

Dimensions: length: 91.4 cm; width (pre-launch configuration): 25.4 cm; height (pre-launch configuration): 20.32 cm; wingspan (extended): 1.016 m
Mass: 45.36-50 kg
Warhead: 20kg; multi-mode: stretching rod for armour penetration, aerostable slug for increased stand-off capability, and fragmentation for soft target kill.
Guidance: GPS/INS (midcourse guidance and all-weather direct attack); LADAR (search and attack)
Propulsion: 135 N thrust turbojet
Range: 150 km+ (approximately 30-minute endurance)
Search zone: (single munition assault): maximum (at 50 km search radius): 84.5 km^2; minimum (at 150 km range): 38 km^2
(four munition combined assault): long range (at 115 km search radius): 100 km^2; minimum (at 150 km range): 47.5 km^2
Ceiling: 15 km; search altitude: 230 m
Speed: 375 km/h+

Parliament has gone mad
In a surprise vote, the Ministry of Defence has secured funding for a single battleship. The governing Conservative Party argued that the vessel was necessary to combat the growing battlefleets of other naval nations. "We have read of the purported Doujin-class with alarm," announced Leopold Perrin, minister of defence. "While our shipyards cannot compete with such a design, if it exists, we'll have to do our best."

The new design, provisionally named the Queen Esmé, is much smaller than most navies' battleships by about a third, and its gun armament is remarkably smaller. "It's a waste," declared the Liberal Democratic shadow minister, Hugh Warbling. "We should just buy more carriers, or, if we have to get a battleship, buy someone else's design before wasting money on this clunker." Upon hearing that the new vessel would incorporate signature-reduction technology, there was a collective groan in Parliament, even from Government benches.

"They've gone mad," said one Conservative backbencher, who wished not to be named.

The Loyal Monarchist Party is entirely in favour, whereas the Social Democratic Party is allying with the LDP.

This has been David Querling for INBC 1.

Important update:

All vessels constructed by the RNSIN will now have the Mauser-Werke MLG 27 supplemental defence weapon in place of existing 20mm and 30mm supplemental defence weapons (not the Goalkeeper CIWS systems).

Purchasers of RNSIN ships will receive the option of retaining the existing weapons systems, having RNSIN technicians and engineers replace the existing systems with the new MLG 27 weapons, or having local workers perform the update.

The RNSIN apologises for the delay in introducing the new system.

The Queen Esmé launched today to modest fanfare. The heaviest surface combatant RNSIN has built, other than carriers, the ship is surprisingly spry. It uses several innovations to provide lightweight but sturdy protection against plunging projectiles and underwater attack, including the RNSIN's patented ballistic ceramics and polymers, void spaces, and double-keeling. Its three 12-inch one-gun turrets may resemble something from the turn of the last century, but improvements in artillery, munitions, and fire control systems have ensured greater lethality. It is also expected to field a new supersonic heavyweight anti-ship missile in the near future. The director-general, Thomas Bullfinch, is quite happy with the results, as is the minister of Defence, Leopold Perrin. "I am sure this ship will prove itself against most modern ships, and should be able to defend itself against most aircraft, too." The Admiralty refused to respond.

GWS.41M Loon
The "Loon" is an anti-submarine missile that can be launched either from surface ships or submarines. It carries 200-350kg lightweight (i.e. 324mm) torpedo to the last noted position of the target before releasing its payload.

The weight of the launch vehicle, with booster but without the torpedo, is about 500kg (497.94kg; 376.71kg without booster). With an MU 90 torpedo, the Loon can attain a range of up to 60km, with an initial speed (ballistic phase) of up to Mach 2.25. The launch vehicle can be continuously updated by the firing vessel while in flight. Once the booster engine has been detached, the Loon cruises to the target using a high efficiency turbojet engine at trans-sonic (high subsonic) speed. Above the target, the launch vehicle releases the payload, which then parachutes into the water and proceeds to seek its foe.

The Loon can be launched by a ship equipped with a Mk.41 VLS, or a ship or submarine able to fire a Tomahawk missile.

Characteristics (with MU 90 as payload)
Length: 5.25m (without booster), 5.7m (with booster), 6.25m (submarine launch canister)
Diameter: 464mm (pre-launch); 533mm (stabilising fins, submarine launch canister); 1.624m (wings of launch vehicle extended)
Mass: 680.71kg (without booster), 801.94kg (with booster), 948.68kg (submarine launch canister).
Range: 60km
Speed: Mach 2.25 (ballistic phase); Mach 0.6-0.85 (transitional); ~50kts (terminal velocity of MU 90 torpedo)
Price (without torpedo): $375,000 per unit (VL version), $385,000 (submarine launch canister).

Loon ASW missile added to inventory; price to be decided (ca. $375,000, not including torpedo).

DRA.1 Rook UMAV (http://www.eads.net/xml/content/OF00000000400004/6/26/517266.jpg)
The “Rook” is a multipurpose drone that may be launched from cruiser-sized helicopter landing platforms, aircraft carriers, or from ground stations. It is a very stealthy machine when flying clean on reconnaissance, missile guidance, or fire spotting duties, and carries such sensors and systems as synthetic aperture radar (SAR), enhanced electro-optical imaging, automatic target recognition (ATR), a secure global positioning system (GPS), inertial guidance (for those just-in-case situations), a Link 17G secure datalink relay. It can also play dirty by carrying up to four Hellfire or similarly sized missiles on four wing stations (six if two Stingers are carried for self-protection) and use its laser rangefinder-designator to perform light attack missions.

Cruisers or larger ships launch the “Rook” using a smaller version of the electromagnetic aircraft launching system (EMALS) used on the Royal Edmund-class carriers. This launching system produces an extremely small magnetic signature, less even than a colour television, so neither the launching vessel nor the “Rook’s” systems damaged. The Type 33L Tuesday helicopter landing system (which may be reconfigured to suit your navy’s specifications) guides the “Rook” in for landing, facilitating recovery in conditions up to sea state 4. The “Rook” recovers with an electromagnetic aircraft recovery systems (EARS) using two high tensile strength cables strung across the deck. Thrust reversers act to brake the DRA.1 even quicker. In case of missed cable, a lightweight mesh barricade protects both the “Rook” and the ship from most damage. Alternatively, the “Rook” can land on a Walmsley-class or larger aircraft carrier.

The Rook may operate somewhat autonomously using a pre-configured flight plan should communication with the ground control station (GCS) be lost, or should the GCS have to release control of the Rook. The DRA.1 can react to the environment using its various sensors (terrain following radar (TFR, use of which increases the radar signature), a radar altimeter, radar warning receiver (RWR) system, automatic self-defence decoy (chaff/flare) dispenser [OOC: a very small number are carried], GPS and laser-digital inertial navigation system (INS) and other systems) to alter waypoints to avoid or otherwise counter enemy anti-air threats (i.e. navigating around active radar sites).

The system can be used as a semi-autonomous attack platform on a preset flight plan, which is reconfigurable in flight to account for anti-air threats, using its automatic target recognition system (ATR) and identification friend or foe interrogator system (IFFI) to acquire and attack targets on its own. The ATR can be, if necessary, be updated by the GCS through direct link or by secure satellite communication link. The Rook can also return to roost autonomously using its GPS and INS should connection with the GCS be lost.

The Rook also can perform limited signals intelligence functions. The DRA.1 can receive signals data through its sensors and transmit that data to the GCS via secure datalink for processing on a dedicated data management system. The processed information may then be fed back into the Rook by the GCS to improve its survivability.

The manufacturers are moving towards developing a version with greater autonomy (the DRA.2), but it is still in the development stage.

Up to four Rooks can be controlled by a ground control station (GCS) or a tactical control station (TCS). A GCS is the size of a standard frieght container, but its functions can be distributed in a tactical control station (TCS) composed of two-HMMWVs (please note: trailers will be required to transport the Rooks to forward locations). Remote piloting of the Rook is assisted by a lightweight helmet-mounted head-up display and military-standard hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS) controls. As both the GCS and TCS use the same secure datalink, the electronic handover is both very easy for one’s own units to achieve and extremely difficult for enemies to disrupt.

Characteristics
Functions: armed reconnaissance, artillery spotting, missile guidance, and target acquisition.
Dimensions: length: 5.5m; wingspan: 4.24m.
Mass: 901.4 kg (empty), 1724.3 kg (maximum take-off mass); weapons payload: 350 kg.
Propulsion: IMW F47-IMW turbofan.
Range: 750+ km
Ceiling: 7,620+ m
Speed: maximum: 785+ km/h
Price: $7.5 million per unit; $5 million per GCS/TCS and associated electronics (datalink components, satellite communications antennae).

Excuse the crude notes I've taken while browsing through your storefront, and don't bother trying to understand them...

We would like to purchase production rights to your Stortbek class SSK and Lake class MCDV, and the River class cutter.

In addition, we would like to purchase six Province class cruisers, ten Glaines class AD destroyers, ten Daurmont class G destroyers, twelve Furtive class FFHs, three Pechtas class SSNs, six Forthar class SSGNs, eight Stortbek class SSKs, four Lord class LHDs, and five Valley class LPDs. We believe the order comes to $56.55, although this has not been verified and is probably incorrect due to the poor quality of the available calculator.

We will pay any amount requested for the three aforementioned production rights. And do not worry, as a fellow OMP nation (through Zoogie), West Scotland can be trusted.

Thank you very much for your very large purchase. It will probably take some time to process the order [3 RL days for the last two cruisers], but be assured the RSIN's delivery will be prompt. For:

8 Stortbek-class SSK
4 Lord-class LHD
5 Ungforth-class LPD [OOC: I assume it's the LPD and not the LSD you want; the Valley-class LSD is somewhat cheaper at $425 million, though]

the total for this procurement comes to $53.775 billion ($53 billion if purchasing the Valley-class LSD instead) after allied power discount ($59.75 billion before discount [tg me if I'm wrong and I'll amend]).

With regards to production rights for the Stortbek-class SSK, the Lake-class MCDV, and the River-class corvette, I will have to get back to you on those figures. I apologise for the inconvenience, but I will get back to you. [OOC: Further note: the speed of the Stortbek-class submarines was misquoted: it ought to be 24 knots rather than 28+ (cut and paste error)--if you no longer want the SSKs, I'll refund your money]

Thank you very much for your purchase, and may these ships serve you well,

Your Excellency, we are pleased once again to receive an order from your fine nation. At present, the shipyards are facing a bit of a backlog, even after freeing up some slips used for the domestic market. Therefore, it will take two [NS] years to complete the contract. I apologise for the inconvenience. However, I am hoping that the recent batch of sales will permit the RSIN to purchase or otherwise secure further yardspace. The total cost of this procurement after frequent purchaser discount is $11.4 billion.

Once more, the RSIN wishes your Excellency and your navy the best on the high seas,

DSM.1 Squid autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) (http://www.ise.bc.ca/images/explorer.gif)

The DSM.1 (drone, submersible, multipurpose) Squid is the RINN's standard submersible drone. The "Squid" may be launched either from its parent submarine's drone housing (RSIN vessels purchased with the "Squid" have these housings) or may swim out of a standard RINN (585mm) or larger torpedo tube. It is powered by high-efficiency fuel cells driving a high-power electric motor. With its clean hydrodynamic shape and quiet propulsion, the DSM.1 is very silent when it needs to be. The "Squid" is a modular design that can be configured to complete several missions. In its most common configuration, it has a module containing three noisemaker/torpedoes (NT module or NTM) that may be used to defend the submarine from enemy attack or may be guided by the DSM.1 to perform a limited assault. The explosive NTs travel at about 6 knots and are equipped with a small sonar seeker head. Alternatively, the "Squid" may carry a 20mm cannon firing supercavitating rounds (SCRs; up to fifteen carried). Generally the "Squid" travels at between 3-5 knots, although the DSM.1 can shoot off at a short-range burst speed of 20-25 knots when threatened, clouding its wake with NTs.

The "Squid" serves as a marine mine detector/neutraliser and as a short range sonar probe. In the former mission, the "Squid" may either be controlled by an operator via fibre-optic microcable (FOMC) or operate autonomously using its Lyme & Martens patented "Kingfisher" automatic target recognition system (ATR) in conjunction with its short-range pinpoint active sonar to locate mines. When the "Squid" detects a mine, it may attach an explosive device using one of its three explosive NTs to neutralise the mine. The DSM.1 may guide the NT to the mine by FOMC or via the AUV's acoustic-acoustic modem. Alternatively, the DSM.1 may use SCRs to detonate the mine. (Needless to say, exploding a mine would reveal the presence of the submarine.)

As a remote sonar probe to deliver real time intelligence to the parent submarine, the "Squid" trails a length of fibre-optic microcable (FOMC; up to 5 km contained within the "Squid") to transmit the drone's sonar data to the parent submarine for processing. If some rapidity is required (up to 25 knots on a straight course) or if the "Squid" is to remain on station for an extended period of time, a thicker power umbilical, which also serves as a towed array, to the parent submarine can be used so as to not drain the "Squid's" fuel cells and battery. The umbilical also serves as a towed array. (Umbilical option only available on RSIN built ships with drone davits.) Alternatively, the "Squid" can be sent out to autonomously map sensitive areas or to gather other intelligence such as enemy fleet dispositions. The DSM.1 is guided by its advanced inertial navigation systems and its short-range collision avoidance sonar.

An autonomous "Squid" may communicate with its parent submarine via an acoustic-acoustic modem. This communication system also allows the DSM.1 to return to its housing for debriefing. At great distances, however, the "Squid" may home into a particular sound signature emitted from the parent submarine. This sound signature beacon uses slightly modified calls of resident sea creatures, which may be updated in the field to fit circumstances, allowing the parent submarine and the DSM.1 to remain undetected.

[OOC: Sorry, still haven't figured out adequate statistics for the Squid yet. RL et al. SATRAP works by moving weights along the ship's beam to counter-act the sea's motion. The French Charles de Gaulle has it, and it seems to work well, although the ship otherwise seems to have/had some issues.]

To: Mohammed El Kadi, Ministry of Defense, Emirate of Al-Sabir
From: D-G Thomas Bullfinch, RSIN, Grimsby Downs, Anguist, UKIN

Your Excellency, the RSIN would be honoured to have your assistance in improving the SATRAP system; it is always good to have even better equipment!

The Rook may operate somewhat autonomously using a pre-configured flight plan should communication with the ground control station (GCS) be lost, or should the GCS have to release control of the Rook. The DRA.1 can react to the environment using its various sensors (terrain following radar (TFR, use of which increases the radar signature), a radar altimeter, radar warning receiver (RWR) system, automatic self-defence decoy (chaff/flare) dispenser [OOC: a very small number are carried], GPS and laser-digital inertial navigation system (INS) and other systems) to alter waypoints to avoid or otherwise counter enemy anti-air threats (i.e. navigating around active radar sites).

The system can be used as a semi-autonomous attack platform on a preset flight plan, which is reconfigurable in flight to account for anti-air threats, using its automatic target recognition system (ATR) and identification friend or foe interrogator system (IFFI) to acquire and attack targets on its own. The ATR can be, if necessary, be updated by the GCS through direct link or by secure satellite communication link. The Rook can also return to roost autonomously using its GPS and INS should connection with the GCS be lost.

The Rook also can perform limited signals intelligence functions. The DRA.1 can receive signals data through its sensors and transmit that data to the GCS via secure datalink for processing on a dedicated data management system. The processed information may then be fed back into the Rook by the GCS to improve its survivability.

The manufacturers are moving towards developing a version with greater autonomy (the DRA.2), but it is still in the development stage. (Also, the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy (RINN) and the Isselmere-Nieland Army (INA) are leery of giving too much control to computers.)

Up to four Rooks can be controlled by each ground control station (GCS) [OOC: I'll amend the listing forthwith], but do you wish to purchase 48 GCS in any case? If you wish to purchase only twelve GCS, the total cost of this procurement will be $388.5 million after valued customer discount, with forty-eight GCS, the price will be $555 million.

Lyme and Martens, the main manufacturer of the Rook, are still working out the cost of licensing production. I will post the cost of licensing as soon as I am able.

Thank you for your continued interest in our products, and best wishes on the high seas!

We'll purchase 48 Rooks and 24 GCSs. The total of 480 Million will be wired upon confirmation. Can a GCS be placed on a HMMWV or a small truck? We won't buy the production rights for the DRA.1 Rook, but when the DRA.2 is released for export, we'll most likely buy the production rights for that one.

[OOC: I'd amended the discussion on the autonomous operation capabilities of the Rook, but the @#$%! server didn't like it... I'll amend those when I'm able! It's slightly more autonomous than I've indicated, but not too much. It will take a while to R&D the DRA.2, probably between 5-10 NS years. Sorry about this!

I think SATRAP is the overall name for the system (fins, stabilisers, moving weights, etc.), at least according to "naval-technology.com" (http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/gaulle/).

Oh yeah, price for 48 Rooks and 24 GCS is $444 million. Sorry, I can't do an IC response at present!]

From: D-G Thomas Bullfinch, RSIN, Grimsby Downs, Anguist, UKIN

Your Excellency, a GCS is quite large (about the size of a standard sized container on a container truck, or placed on a heavy logistics vehicle), but one can also use a tactical control station (TCS) composed of two-HMMWVs (please note: trailers will be required to transport the Rooks to forward locations) throughout the Rook’s flight. Should a GCS be rendered inoperable or otherwise unable to control the DRA.1, a TCS may land a Rook’s using its electro-optical sensors in forward or alternate areas near the controlling TCS. Remote piloting of the Rook is assisted by a lightweight helmet-mounted head-up display and military-standard hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS) controls. As both the GCS and TCS use the same secure datalink, the electronic handover is both very easy for one’s own units to achieve and extremely difficult for enemies to disrupt. The cost of the GCS and TCS is the same (the electronic and associated systems for both are the same).

I hope this answers your questions, your Excellency.

Subject: Re: Purchase of several cruisers, UMAVs and submarine tenders

Your Excellency, I, the RSIN, and Lyme and Martens -- the manufacturers -- are pleased to read the Rooks are performing well in your Army, and hope they will perform likewise in your Navy.

With regard to using the Rook as an ASW platform, there may be a problem with ground clearance as the torpedo would have to be slung on the centreline station; I do not believe the wings could support the stress of a 200 kg torpedo. Lyme and Martens is currently engaged in developing a multipurpose attack drone, provisionally termed the DA.1 Tern, and an anti-submarine helicopter drone, the DAS.1 Albatross, that would be able to carry two lightweight torpedoes or other more substantial weapons. The Tern would likely have to be launched and landed on an aircraft carrier.

In the meantime, might I suggest to your Excellency Lyme and Martens's Loon (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2982050#2982050) anti-submarine missile. The Loon's course to target can be updated through datalink by the firing ship or its helicopter(s) while the missile is in the transitional phase (i.e. the period between the ballistic launch and torpedo release stages). Though a one-shot affair, the missile has been proven successful and is presently in the service of The Freethinkers' navy.

Now on to your Excellency's order. Owing to the current backlog at the yards that I am in the process of solving with further yardspace, the procurement of twelve cruisers will take approximately four [NS] years to complete, although at least four cruisers will be available for your navy quite soon. On a good note, the submarine tenders will be ready [by the end of today], and the Rooks and their associated electronics will be shipped to your Excellency's services by the manner you see most fit. The total cost of this procurement is $18.09 billion after valued customer discount.

On behalf of myself and the RSIN family, I wish your Excellency and your armed services the best on the land and on the seas,
D-G Thomas Bullfinch, RSIN

We look forward to the release of those new drones so we can use those as torpedo platform. We would also like to buy some stuff. A few days ago, I saw a different thread for the "Loon" where you could buy the production rights. We would like to buy the production rights. Those cost about 2 Billion I believe. We would also like to buy some other things. Here's our order:

Subject: Re: GWS.41M "Loon"

Your Excellency, the RSIN welcomes you and your order. Two Monarch-class battleships and four County-class air defence destroyers will be prepared for your navy forthwith. The battleships will require [up to the end of this week] to complete as the two Monarch-class currently approaching completion have the VL-MICA. My engineers have recommended simply altering the design of two hulls in a slightly earlier stage of construction rather than altering the two currently approaching completion as enlarging the existing "cavities," for the lack of a better term, for the SYLVER-MP requires rerouting of wiring and pumps with greater capacity (in case of restrained launch). I apologise for the inconvenience this delay causes. The destroyers, on the other hand, will be ready [by the end of the day at the absolute latest]. The subtotal cost of this procurement after valued customer discount is $8.6 billion.

Lyme and Martens is willing to grant the production rights on the GWS.41M for $2 billion. I hope the Loon proves as useful to your Excellency's navy as it has to ours.

The total cost of this procurement of ships and production licence is $10.6 billion.

On behalf of the RSIN family, I wish your Excellency and the ASN the best on the high seas,
