The Empire of Kikoskriat would like to congratulate its ally for the creation of such a fine vessal.

Ebolania congratulates Feazanthia on their shipbuilding breakthrough, but would like to know what kind of "comforts" are available on board a Soviet attack submarine. :lol:

Why, adequate quarters, comfortable beds, and good food. What did you think? :wink:

The Alpha II is now for sale. Our scientists predict that the M-drive variant will be completed next year (tomorrow), so orders for that model will be accepted.

We applaude you on your development of the catapillar propulsion system. We have implemented that system in our Akila Class Submarine...

Xylion Shipyards thanks Austar for its complement.

It should probably be noted that the Alpha II was designed to counted the Doujin class 'super battleship'. Its high speed allows it to close the distance before the Doujin can get off too many shots, and its low cost allows it to be deployed in great numbers.

Please people. I want comments. This took me three days.

Looks good. Thing is that of that were designed to destroy the Doujin class, then you'd need a hell of a lot of them, as it has god knows how many bulkheads etc.

And it will need to survive against my combat tactics against submarines. Also, the Doujin Fleet Flagship Battlegroup will employ a large amount of small, fast attack submarines.

((OOC-Damn. I'm drawing up the specs on the Alpha-III, which will be the M-drive equipped sub.))

I would advise, if this sub is for use against the Doujin, then the installation of 28" as oppossed to 21" tubes might also be an imprtant consideration.
