We currently have 12 Nimtz class carriers and would be very interested in replacing the entire lot of the with the larger Vengeance class. The question I have for you is, are you willing to accommodate us?

12 carriers at 5 billion a piece makes for 57 billion, counting your first timer discount. Our question is would you be willing to knock it down to 55 billion for the lot of them paid in installments of 13.75 billion a year (so it takes 4 RL days to pay you off.) As an appreciation for this we would buy from you and additional 3 carriers at the full price of 15 billion on the fifth year.

Hybalt Shipyards care of the Granzi government.

As promised some time ago when we are in the market for naval vessels we would give you first chance to yay or nay the bid. Recently the Dominion has come into many a circumstance where we needed to send a sizeable naval presence and we simply could not spare the ships to do so. Currently with only seventeen carrier groups we have tied up the majority of our forces in a single campaign. So with this in mind the President and I have agreed to increase our overseas projection power by a considerable amount, that amount being 183 carrier groups. As you may recall the centre ship for our carrier group is the Vengance class aircraft carrier, sold exclusively by you. So with our good relations in mind we would like and estimated time of completion for the 183 carrier groups.

FYI a Noviet carrier group contains

Carrier group cost (in USD)
Vengance - 5 billion
4 Ticonderogas - 4 billion
2 battleships – [Classified by the Noviet armed forces. NOTE: You are no expected to provide a classified design.]
100 F/A-18E/F Super Hornets - 8.4 billion
14 F-11A- .1708 billion
3 E-2C - .24 billion
2 s-3b - .054 billion
3 EA-6B - .075 billion
3 Seawolfs - 3.195 billion
Total 21.1348 billion

Meaning we are making a purchase order of 3,867,668,400,000 USD

You do have the right to refuse of course, we are simply fulfilling our vow to come to you first for these kinds of needs. I look forward to your speedy reply.

To: The Nova Hope Government:
From: Hybalt Shipyards

We are honored to fill this order from the government of Nova Hope. This would be an immense undertaking by the shipyards and we welcome the challenge. We have a few questions we would like answered before construction starts to ensure a smooth operation: (1) By the battleship requirement, would you like a custom-designed vessel? Or would you prefer something like the Roydia Class (Which recently underwent refits.) (2) We can replace the Ticonderoga Class with our own Portlandia Class, featuring improved sensor systems and weapons upgrades, free of charge. (3) Same thing with the Spirit Class Submarine, replacing the Seawolfs, again free of charge. (4) Would you be also interested in trimaran vessels, which are faster, stealthier, and have a more stable weapons platform? We are willing to find suitable replacements for some of your vessels, with no additional fee. Thank you for choosing Hybalt Shipyards, and we hope our products exceed all your standards.

OOC: Our new storfront is on the International Mall:

We will respond to your points in kind.

1) The battleship was only mentioned to inform you that a capital ship would be present in the group, my apologies but at this time we are currently engaged in other negotiations about the capital ships and we don’t require you to be producing them at this time. However we will keep in mind that you could upgrade the designs for us and we may approach you about this at a later date.
2) The Portlandia class is a welcome improvement however for the purposes of easy crew rotations and a sense of uniformity we would need you to replace the existing 68 Ticonderogas in service. We’d need you to include the price tag for that as well.
3) We are interested in the upgrade you mentioned but the same hold up exists. In the carrier groups we have an existing 51 seawolfs which would need to be replaced, please include a quote for that too.
4) We are declining this offer for now but thank you.

Other points to note:

We have a decent sized submersible fleet that we would be interested in adding to as well. It is comprised completely of Seawolfs as of right now but we are interested in making additions, not replacements, to it. What would you suggest for a larger vessel, a faster vessel and a smaller vessel capable of traveling up inland waterways while submerged? If these are currently not on the docket that is fine as well we are simply asking for asking sake.

The substitutions will be made free of charge, and we are willing to round off the total to $3.5 trillion for the contract. Thank you. A payment plan is available, with say, half at the beginning of construction and the rest on the completion.

On replacing your existing Ticonderogas and Seawolfs, the total tab would be an estimated $173.4 billion. After your discounts, the final price is $160 billion. Construction will be started at once, independent of your other order, with the last shipment due in 20 NS years (1 NS year=1 RL day). I will TG you in response to your questions.

Rockhound, your order is confirmed. Please expect delivery in 1 NS year. Thank you for purchasing from Hybalt Shipyards.

We would prefer offering up the entirety of the sum, 3.66 billion, now and finding our own means of finance. Don’t worry we believe you are good for it. The amount includes the upgrades to our existing carrier groups as well as the mass purchase. This is very good business your doing here and we will be continuing our promise of coming to you first on naval matters. We are wiring the money now and look forward to seeing our ships steam in to harbour.

OOC:
Granzi realistically if I was going to be doing this much business with someone then I’d be trying to make other ties with them as well. I’ve bought up some stocks from you. Let me ask you are you interested in RPing out some none military stuff? Creating some international flights between our nations, open trade etc.
