As a build-up in our Navy, we are looking for a country that would be able to sell us a number of diesel submarines. We are starting to develop our submarine fleet, and wish to build up numbers quickly - you can generally get more diesels for your dollar, eh? ;) Also, we do not yet have the capability to refuel and maintain nuclear vessels.

Any interested nations please reply here with information on the submarines avaliable.

We have a great sub:
Piranha-class attack submarine

Still the first line defence of this island group, the piranha is a diesel submarine with an excellent range and it's four torpedo-tubes can also be used to disembark special-ops. It is equipped with a snorkel of course and has a minelaying capacity.
Specifications:
Propulsion: Diesel-electric
Speed on the surface/submerged: 15 knots/20 knots
Diving Depth: >400 metres, exact depth is classified.
Crew: 45
Armament: 20 Mk. 48, 40 mines.
Decoys: classified
Sonar: both passive and active, one hull-mounted and one towed.
Price: 12 million florins.

We are certainly delighted with this fine submarine. We wish to purchase a number of these vessels, however a few problems must be sorted out first;

1- what is the exchange rate of Florins to Dollars? Otherwise, I cannot pay you.

2 - Upon buying these submarines, we hope you can TG us and tell us the classified details of the submarine we have just bought.
