well, the superb-class are a start. Is there a deal where we could pay for the construction of shipyard facilities in Kilean, and the education of Kilean engineers in the freethinkers?

on another note: what about merchant hulls? could we turn ships over to you for refitting?

*nods* I can pretty much do everything you ask, so long as you are patient if you are waiting for a design. Lol. Actually, I was trying to sell you the destroyer and frigate design TBH. ;)

From: Minister of Defense Herman of Tiborita

My office has just finished a study analyzing current world-wide threats, and the present conflict we are engaged in, and we have found that the Tiboritian Maritime Defense Force lacks some signifigant strength. The Senate has passed an appropriations bill, allowing this office to acquire vessels for the TMDF. We hope to contract with you for the commissioning of 12 Centaur (Batch 2) Class Guided Missile Destroyers and 6 Broadsword Class Escort Frigates.The entire contract total is 41,100,000,000. As we are allied through UnAPS, the contract would be valued at 30,825,000,000. We greatly appreciate your services, and hope this is the first of a mutually beneficial arrangement.

The Kilean navy would love to purchase the 6 SSK's you have secondhand, and also wants to know if you could re-start production for a further 18 boats of that class? We're looking to establish a strong littoral force for home defense. We have domestically produced FAC's and Enkranoplans, but the Freethinker SSK's would do great.

"Re: Superb Class Production.

With regret, we are sorry to inform you that due to no longer having th avaliable facilities, we would not be able to resume production of the vessel type. Howver, we can transfer to you the blueprints and non-passable production licenses for $US 360,000,000 if you wish to build the submarine in your own yards.

However, the immediate transferal of six Superb class submarines from our custody to yours is fully underway, and now we merely await your payment of $US 2,400,000,000, and then you may fly a crew over and take operational control of the said craft.

Thank you for your custom"

"Indeed."

"Yeah, it's even a subsidiary of Doujin Corp - "

"What!? A subsidiary of Doujin Corp! I vowed to never submit to that damn corporation's monopoly! It's bad enough as it is, we've purchased MORE than enough from that corporation! Nooo!"

Aah, well, we'll wire you the money for the six boats, but sadly, we'll pass on the production rights. Our main motivation for buying them was that Kilean lacks a domestic submarine production capacity, so we wanted an interim design. The six submarines, however, look very promising.

Although we don't appreciate the current sales pitch of FDI, we would like to start sending in our Centaur class destroyers into refit to update them to Batch 2 specs. We ask the the Mk44 CAMDS not be touched, but that's the only exception to the refit we request. The destroyers will be sent in a flotilla (32 ships) at a time and a total of 256 ships need to be refitted.

We're also interested in purchasing the schematics for the Mk72 VLS, we need wish to switch out the Mk41 system for it and know FDI doesn't have the facilities to refit our whole navy in a timely manner.

$203,400,000,000

For the total upgrade to the ships. Plans for the Mk.72 will be included in this price. As you are a member of the OMP, you will also recieve a 25% discount, bring the final total to:

$152,550,000,000

To be paid as you wish :D"

Omzian Homeland Defence Forces Headquarters
Omzian Navy Headquarters, Procurement Department
Omzian Ministry of National Defence

As the Omzian Navy begins to envision a new type of navy in response to new threats around the world today, the Omzian Navy Procurement Department and the Omzian Ministry of National Defence shows our interest in the new type of Ocean class naval carrier vessel, as these offers us what it is needed for the requirement of a pair of flagships for the Omzian Navy fleets at last. As we hoped for such vessels to be a stable and safe platform for flagship duties, this exceeded our requirements and needs as this psports not only the basic requirements, but also power projection capabilities for the Omzian Navy today.

With this, the Omzian navy also expresses their interest in the Centaur (Batch II) destroyers along with the highly-capable Clan Grant replenishers and Trident class SSNs, to not only improve the capabilities of the Omzian Navy with the presence of new and capable strike platforms to replace older and less capable ones, but also provide a force to accompany the two proposed flagship vessels. The SSNs will hopefully be capable to endure escort duties for the two vessels -- along with other submarines of superior design. Therefore, we hope that this contract would become a package order from FDI if possible, granted with the possibility that FDI would accept our contract proposal.

Additionally, a separate document has been sent regarding the possibility of a purchase of nuclear submarines, by the Omzian Army Missile Corps.

Therefore, the Omzian Navy Procurement Department would like to place an order for the following, along with the possible base cost of such:

2x Ocean CVN (FNS/CV/R.500.A) - US$44,000,000,000 base
22x Centaur (Batch 2) DDG (FNS/DD/R.401.B) - $65,450,000,000 base
14x Clan Grant Fleet Replenisher (FNS/AA/R.201.A) - $7,000,000,000 base
8x Trident SSN (FNS/SS/R.500.C) - US$9,600,000,000 base
Total cost of contract: US$126.05 billion

Wwe owuld like the cost, if possible, to be split in 10 installments of US$12.605 billions each, as that'll relieve stress within our financial departments and eases the process of delivering the sum of money.

We thank the FDI's attention for our order. If this is approved, we also wish for more coopreation with the Freethinkers technologically and otherwise, not only through the Organization of Maritime Powers, but also by other means.

Omzian Ministry of National Defence

Currently, the Omzian Navy only fields a limited number of outdated Ohio class SSBNs, which are in relatively poor states for deep seas operations to deter nuclear aggression and perform various other operations. As Omzian nation meets new threats and faces new demands, the need for upgrades of the aging missile submarine fleet is imminent, as we hold out longer we would lose such capability, and therefore degrade the effectiveness of both the Army Missile Corps in deterring nuclear aggression, and the Omzian Navy in conducting "non-lethal" operations.

Therefore, the Omzian Ministry of National Defence expresses a most important interest in the four retired Neptune SSBN vessels, to improve the capabilities of the Omzian Long Range Missile force as means to both deter nuclear aggression, and to conduct both conventional and "unconventional" (in terms of various special operations) warfare in deep seas.

Our reason for keeping the low profile for such purchase is not because we want to completely put this purchase in secret, but to keep a low profile for the development of both our Missile Corps force and the submarine force. Both subjects have high importance for us, as these tools are cruical, especially in special cases of low-profile and small scale operations and large-scale defensive operations. Therefore, we thank the FDI if they can make efforts to "de-popularize" this deal, although we do not, in any way, ntend to make this a top-secret deal without a single record. We must hope that the FDI would grant the contract, as we have much trust in the Freethinkers through the OMP and UnAPS.

As the conclusion for this propusal, we would like to order:

4x Neptune SSBN (FNS/SS/R.504.A) - US$4,000,000,000 base
Total: $4,000,000,000 (the money will be wired as a separate installment, with the first installment of the previous contract).
Including first contract: US$130.05 billion

We must thank the FDI, if this contract is approved, as this upgrade will improve our capabilities in deterring aggression and provide us with more capabilities for both the missile force and the navy.

Our thanks again,

Thank you for your enquiry, and we are indeed pleased to see an excellent choice of products being chosen. We will be able to process the order in good time, and you can rest assured of their quality and performance.

With regards to final payment, we do offer a 'Allied' discount of 25%, useful for us both. According to this, you therefore owe;

Naval Procurement: $US 94,537,500,000
Army Procurement: $US 3,000,000,000

With this in mind, we offer a 10 payment plan of $US 9,500,000,000 (with the last payment lower to cover discrepencies). The $US 3,000,000,000 may be placed upon at the end of the first payment.

Total construction time is estimated at 15 (NS) years time, once all ships have been placed through their extensive sea trials. However, the deactivated Neptune class vessels can be delivered within 3 (NS) months. With regards to discretion for several of the items, we will of course remain inconspicious withregards to the transaction, and will make an effort not to draw attention to the deal.

As for future cooperation, the FDI subsidrary, Prime Design Warfare, handles our cooperative design works, and should you need a ship designing they can see what they accomplish with you.

Thank you very much, and godspeed.

The payment option would be fine, and the time period is acceptable for us. The Ministry of National Defence would be handling the monetary transaction, while we eagerly awaits the deployment of the ships in the forseenable future, and the great improvement of our capabilities against both conventonal and WMD aggression. We put our trust in FDI and its people in building the vessels with the fullest care and quality.

Other than the signing of the contract, we must express our thanks for the efforts being taken to protect our privacy on the subject matters of unconventional and deep seas warfare within the Omzian Navy.

On a separate note however, we wish to inquire if the FDI offers any type of modern patrol conventional-powered submarines (AIP-based propulsion would fill our requirements). We are also interested in any design work of a medium/large-sized vessel that can counter the line of heavily armored and powerful vessels we see around the world today.

Regarding your order, we are able to complete the required items apart from one detail. Unfortunately we have already sold all the avaliable deactivated Neptunes to the Omzian navy, meaning we are only able to provide the production rights. This is a mistake our end and, as a means of apology, we are willing to fufil the order to a lower price of $US 50,000,000,000 including the Neptune class production rights.

Because of your nation's small size, we will allow payment, interest free, to be conducted in $US 5,000,000,000 payments over the 10 (NS) year delivery period. As for the production rights, we, as a subsidary of DoujinCorp, do not give out production rights to our vessels, but can give out production licenses for a specified number of vessels for an agreed fee.

Thank you very much for your order.

Upon receiving the news regarding the availability of production license for "second-hand" vessel and designs, we would be highly interested to negotiate a second contract to acquire a special production license to produce a limited number of submarines with certain Omzian modifications. As the Neptune vessel meets our requirements not only for a SSBN but also a SSGN, and the Superb SSK meets our requirements to replace a line of much older diesel submarines for the National Guards fleet, the contract is very important to us if the deal can be signed. Our proposal and wishes are the follows:

Neptune class: As we require the Ohio refit to be replaced in the future in the active fleet, an additional production requirement of 11 Neptune vessels is needed. Therefore, we require a license to build a maximum number of 18 vessels (with the rest probably being "dedicated" SSGNs to downsize the SSBN fleet). Our wish for this batch is to replace the Falltech Control Bloc with an all-Omzian variant, and the Type 2019 to be placed with a domestic-designed Noran-Omzian Marine Systems Unit 701/A sonar system. Additional modification also may include a Special Operational Forces delivery system, perhaps a small version of those on the Ohio. This modified variant will be hopefully produced under the name of Omzian Type 506A Nena class. (OOC: Yeah I heard about it)

Superb class: A requirement has been placed to replace the obsolete Omzian Type 486C Improved Amur SSKs and a limited number of Interdictor class SSGs within National Guard service for coastal patrols. We had only bought a limited number to satisfy the requirement as an interim solution, but an additional number of 14 is needed. Because of this, we require a license to allow the building of up to 30 vessels at the Dakanorsa and Horan Shipyards, along with the Neptune. We wish to add an array of new data processing centers as a new electronic package, along with two Honjak Electrics HN022 diesel engines, origionally intended for another refit of the Improved Amur.

As financial issues is not much of a problem, and such domestic manufacturing can benefit us on the long run. We eagerly await for an response. Once the contract is approved and the license is delivered (both electronic and "hand-to-hand" methods are accepted), we will start the production to meet the basic requirement immediately.

The Agrigentian Marina Militare is very curious as to the possibility of acquiring non-commercial production rights to the Centaur class Guided Missile Destroyer. This destroyer seems to be a step in the most logical direction for the future of the surface fleets. We hope that we can come to some sort of monetary agreement for this transaction.

Thank you, and goodbye.

Dear Sirs,

With regard to your enquiries, we can answer that non-commercial production rights are avaliable through our parent company of DoujinCorp, as is specified within company policy. By ourselves, we can offer fixed production licenses for a set number of vessels on a non-commercial bases. The respective cost is 5% unit cost per vessel license for the Centaur class. Unfortunately, production licenses are not subject to the 'Allied' discount.

As the Omzian Navy was highly satisfied with the result of the previous contract, the Omzian Navy is beginning to put much trust in the reliability of the Freethinker Defence Industries and its product - not only as an arms conractor, but also a partner. Because of this, a decision is made to fulfill the Omzian requirements to replace older vessels and reorganize the Omzian Navy. This time, it includes the replacement of several destroyed and scrapped destroyers and frigates within the carrier battle groups, the replacement of a scrapped Omzian BCVN which is currently serving as a naval aviation museum, the removal of highly vulnverable thin-skinned replenishers for "Immediate Action" units, and reorganization with the intent of bringing a sufficent air defence capabilities for the Omzian battle groups. Therefore, we would like to negotiate a contract, consisting of the following vessels:

1x Ocean Class CVN (US$22,000,000,000)
4x Centaur Class DDG (US$11,900,000,000)
28x Dauntless Class DD (US$36,400,000,000)
24x Revenge Class DD (ASW) (US$36,000,000,000)
4x Trident Class SSN (US$4,800,000,000)
6x Clan Grant Class AOR (US$3,000,000,000)
36x Broadsword Class FF (US$32,400,000,000)

Total (base): $146,500,000,000

With this, we also would like to express our intent to separate the funds into 16 installments of $9.15625 billions each, to be processed and wired by the Omzian MOND and the Omzian Bank over a period of 10 months, if possible.

Once again, we expect a reply from the FDI, and we once thank FDI for the opportunity to purchase quality vessels for our requirements, and we wish to hear from the FDI shortly soon. Wwe hope that this time, like the last time, another contract would be successfully produced among both the FDI and the Omzian Navy.

Dear Sirs,

Firstly, we thank you for your kind words and compliments, it is very nice to know we are apprieciated for our efforts to bring the very best ships into the marketplace. We hope they bring you exceptional service and unequalled combat capability, and we look forward to future business deals and projects.

Moving onto the current business, we have confirmed the plans for the ordered ships, and construction will begin immediately, with a delivery time expected to cover roughly forteen to fifteen (NS) years.

With regards to payment, taking into account the allied discount of 25%, you now owe the company roughly US$109,875,000,000, which may be paid by whatever method the nation of Omz222 wishes to pay, though we do request all accounts be settled by the time of the orders completion.

Thank you for your custom.

The Omzian Navy is very satisfied that this proposal would become a contract again, and as the contract is being sealed off, we can assure FDI that we are satisfied with their projects and their products greatly. We hope that this batch of vessels, just like the last ones, would serve ourforces greatly.

Turning to the financial side, due to change of plans, we have also folumated a new plan to pay the funds in a total of 18 installments of about $6.10416 billions dollars each over a period of 22 months. We hope that this is prefectly acceptable. The transfer will be arranged by the Omzian Bank and MOND, and the first installment will be hopefully processed and wired within 3 weeks.

With this, we hope that the Omzian Navy can seek more quality vessels from the FDI in the future, and wishes that we can seek more business deals with the FDI later.

It looks good and is much improved. We shall enjoy competing with each other for business on NS. Since Doujin is leaving and you designed the Doujin class, I think you should be selling it. Heck, I'd ask Doujin if you could use his ships and sell them since he is quitting NS.

Fr: Hammerian Department Of Defense
Subject: Design & Construction Possibilities

The Hammerian Planetary Navy has been a crucial element in the defense of Hammerian territories. However, having gone at least 200 years without completely renovating the fleets, we have run into a snag. The technology factored into the designs of our current vessels is now 100% obsolete. We require multiple fleets of many new classes of vessels.

To start off our order, we require Capital Warships. We have checked up on the schematics of the Doujin Super Dreadnought and have found this to be a worthy selection for the Capital vessel of each fleet.

Carriers such as the Ocean-Class Nuclear-powered Carriers suit our needs just fine. We also require vessels such as the Centaur Guided Missile Destroyer, as well as Frigates, Cruisers, Submarines, and Fleet Replenishment vessels.

Estimations show that 10 fleets of vessels will hold us over for another century. We require one Super Dreadnought, one Carrier, two Destroyers, two Cruisers, a Submarine, two Frigates, and other neccesary support vessels for each fleet. We do realize that you do not sell Cruisers, and we would prefer to have our vessels custom-designed and custom-built by your team of engineers. We also realize that this takes time and money. How much funding would you require for a project as large as this?

Regards,
Hammerian Department Of Defense
