We have a dire need for the transport of our Mechanized Divisions. Each contains 840 vehicles and 4000 men plus crew. There is no ship we can find that would allow for the easy transport of this large number of vehicles and requests that nations put forward there designs for a suitable ship. It is not mandatory that the men and vehicles are transported as one. We will pay hansomly for your services

The Government of Ganchelkas regrets to say that our Nation is not equiped to build such a large vessel. However, we can provide you with more advanced equipment, like new radars, better weapon controls, etc. Please contact us if you want to negotiate a trade agreement.

I have viewed your stor with interest Wetland but it makes no mention of how many wehicles it can hold. Weight capacity and how much space there is is different

T-AKR 287 Algol
Displacement: 61,987 tons loaded
Dimensions: 288.3 x 32 x 11m
Speed: 33 knots
Cargo: 185,000 sq ft (16,650 m2) vehicles, 46 TEU
Payload: 32,295 tons
Crew: 42
This is a fast sealift ship with roll-on/roll-off and lift-on/lift-off capabilities, and handles both vehicles and conventional cargo. With a top speed of 33 knots, this is one of, if not THE fastest class of cargo ships ever built, and is therefore an excellent rapid deployment craft.
Cost: $301 million

T-AKR 300 Bob Hope
Displacement: 62,968 tons loaded
Dimensions: 298.56 x 32.3 x 11.25m
Speed: 24 knots
Cargo: 397,413 sq ft (35,767 m2) parking space
Payload: 28,387 tons
Example Load: 123xM1 Abrams, 154xM2/M3 Bradley, 24xM109A6 Paladin, 9xM270 MLRS, 10xM6 Linebacker, 10xAvenger, 40xHMMWV MG/TOW, 100xM113 APC
Crew: 50 + 300 troops
This is a large, medium-speed Roll-on/Roll-off ship (LMSR) designed for transporting heavy equipment. It has nearly 400,000 sq ft of parking space, allowing it to carry a full armored task force of 58 MBTs, 48 other tracked vehicles, and over 900 trucks and HMMWVs.
Cost: $300 million

T-AKR 296 Gordon
Displacement: 65,000 tons
Dimensions: 291.39 x 32.24 x 11m
Speed: 22 knots
Cargo: 316,000 sq ft (28,440 m2) vehicle parking space
Payload: 33,644 tons
This is a class based on former commercial container ships. These vessels have a better payload capacity than their cousins, the Bob Hope class, but have less space to store it, though with tanks and other AFVs, that’s usually not much of an issue.
Cost: $280 million

T-AKR 295 Shugart
Displacement: 54,298 tons
Dimensions: 276.43 x 32.28 x 10.64m
Speed: 24 knots
Cargo: 332,000 sq ft (29,880 m2) vehicle parking space
Payload: 21,709 tons
This is a smaller cousin to the Gordon class, also based on commercial container ships.
Cost: $265 million


Note: Payload is listed in standard naval long tons, which are equal to 2240 lbs. 1 Long Ton is equal to 1.0159 Metric Tons (2205 lbs), or 1.12 Short Tons (2000 lbs).

$7.5 billion confirmed
The last ship should arrive within 6 NS months

For production rights, we feel that $200 million would be more than sufficient.
