BATTLESHIPS
Arizona Class BBG
builders: IDF Shipyard's new Haifa large build yard
Overview: A modern, heavily armed and armored guided missile Battleship for the 21st century. This ship's missions are escort of carriers, shore bombardment, command, missile platform, ship to ship combat, and coastal defense.
The ship is large, but has a smaller RCS (Radar Cross Section) than most destroyers and frigates due to a composite covering the steel armor plates. In addition to this, the superstructure is shaped to avoid radar detection.

CRUISERS
Ticonderoga II CG
USA
OVERVIEW: These AEGIS cruisers are built to last 40 years (life can be extended beyond that). They are great for air defense and work in carrier groups and that was their reason for being developed. This upgraded version of the Ticonderoga has VLS systems like ships CG-52 and onward with updated AEGIS systems to enhance her capabilities. The addition of TLAMs makes this a valuable asset in land attacks and ship to ship warfare. This version has the RAM defense system to better protect her in missile strikes and avoid the damage that occurs when the CIWS hit incoming missiles too close to the ship.

1. standard destroyer, Farragut class
OVERVIEW: This is multi-purpose AEGIS capable destroyer that can fight other ships, kill subs, provide air-cover, and attack ground targets. This ship can act alone or in large battlegroups.
Most of the hull above the water-line is made of a composite meant to reduce radar signature to make this a "stealth" destroyer. It does have a radar signature, but a very small one. Helicopter hangars, while not included can be added, but increase radar signature. The design is based on the Zumwalt class from the US Navy.
PRICE: 1.0 billion
with 1 helo hangar, 1.065 billion
with 2 helo hangar, $1.100 billion
Subtact $30 million for each chopper removed if you get the hangars.

2. Fast Merchant, Blockade Runner Farragut]
Overview: This is an unarmed version of the Farragut class destroyer. The VLS weapon tubes have been removed to provide spacious aft and bow cargo spaces. A hangar for 2 choppers has been built, this can be used for cargo or helos, which run at 30 million each if you buy them from me.
Some of the quarters for the crew that would normaly run the weapons systems have been removed and converted to cargo holds.
MAX cargo Tonnage, 10,000 tons, but the helo hangar adds 1,000 more
This makes a good ship for smuggling or just running by enemy blockades.
RADAR, SONAR, guns, and decoy defensive systems are unchanged as is the ASROC torpedo launcher.
ADDITIONAL WEAPON, SM-1 SAM launcher with 12 missiles in storage to fend off air attacks, launched from single launch rail on the roof of the hangar.
COSTS: $500 MILLION
3. armed merchant destroyer, Farragut armed cargo ship
OVERVIEW: This is a mixture of the two variants. The after VLS launchers have been removed for cargo spaces while the forward cells remain for any missiles you wish to have. There are a total of 94 cells remaining. Check variant 1 to see what number of each type of missiles can be placed in each cell.
TOTAL cargo without helo hangar= 5,000 tons
Some of the excess crew quarters are once again converted into cargo holds. A 2 helicopter hanger is on the after deck for use as a hangar or as a cargo space of 1,000 tons. These ships make good smugglers, attackers, escorts, or even stealth sub tenders for diesel subs.
The non VLS-weapon systems like guns and torpedoes are untouched as are all other systems
COSTS: $800 MILLION
b][Kidd class DDG[/b]

The pump filters for the nuclear reactor produce 25% of the noise of the USS Seawolf. This makes detection virtually impossible.
The ships surfaces in the interior are mainly rubber coated to absorb sounds.
Special/Intel missions
This ship can comes with the option for a 32 man wet/dry compartment for SEALs or other special forces. This is attached to the top of the deck aft of the conning tower or sail. The pices is $75 million extra.
At the cost of 10 torpedo spaces, special intelligence gear for spy missions and surveillance can be added. Costs are based on what you spend on your own equipment and not charged here.

BATTLESHIPS
Arizona Class BBG
builders: IDF Shipyard's new Haifa large build yard
Overview: A modern, heavily armed and armored guided missile Battleship for the 21st century. This ship's missions are escort of carriers, shore bombardment, command, missile platform, ship to ship combat, and coastal defense.
The ship is large, but has a smaller RCS (Radar Cross Section) than most destroyers and frigates due to a composite covering the steel armor plates. In addition to this, the superstructure is shaped to avoid radar detection.

CRUISERS
Ticonderoga II CG
USA
OVERVIEW: These AEGIS cruisers are built to last 40 years (life can be extended beyond that). They are great for air defense and work in carrier groups and that was their reason for being developed. This upgraded version of the Ticonderoga has VLS systems like ships CG-52 and onward with updated AEGIS systems to enhance her capabilities. The addition of TLAMs makes this a valuable asset in land attacks and ship to ship warfare. This version has the RAM defense system to better protect her in missile strikes and avoid the damage that occurs when the CIWS hit incoming missiles too close to the ship.

1. standard destroyer, Farragut class
OVERVIEW: This is multi-purpose AEGIS capable destroyer that can fight other ships, kill subs, provide air-cover, and attack ground targets. This ship can act alone or in large battlegroups.
Most of the hull above the water-line is made of a composite meant to reduce radar signature to make this a "stealth" destroyer. It does have a radar signature, but a very small one. Helicopter hangars, while not included can be added, but increase radar signature. The design is based on the Zumwalt class from the US Navy.
PRICE: 1.0 billion
with 1 helo hangar, 1.065 billion
with 2 helo hangar, $1.100 billion
Subtact $30 million for each chopper removed if you get the hangars.

2. Fast Merchant, Blockade Runner Farragut]
Overview: This is an unarmed version of the Farragut class destroyer. The VLS weapon tubes have been removed to provide spacious aft and bow cargo spaces. A hangar for 2 choppers has been built, this can be used for cargo or helos, which run at 30 million each if you buy them from me.
Some of the quarters for the crew that would normaly run the weapons systems have been removed and converted to cargo holds.
MAX cargo Tonnage, 10,000 tons, but the helo hangar adds 1,000 more
This makes a good ship for smuggling or just running by enemy blockades.
RADAR, SONAR, guns, and decoy defensive systems are unchanged as is the ASROC torpedo launcher.
ADDITIONAL WEAPON, SM-1 SAM launcher with 12 missiles in storage to fend off air attacks, launched from single launch rail on the roof of the hangar.
COSTS: $500 MILLION
3. armed merchant destroyer, Farragut armed cargo ship
OVERVIEW: This is a mixture of the two variants. The after VLS launchers have been removed for cargo spaces while the forward cells remain for any missiles you wish to have. There are a total of 94 cells remaining. Check variant 1 to see what number of each type of missiles can be placed in each cell.
TOTAL cargo without helo hangar= 5,000 tons
Some of the excess crew quarters are once again converted into cargo holds. A 2 helicopter hanger is on the after deck for use as a hangar or as a cargo space of 1,000 tons. These ships make good smugglers, attackers, escorts, or even stealth sub tenders for diesel subs.
The non VLS-weapon systems like guns and torpedoes are untouched as are all other systems
COSTS: $800 MILLION
b][Kidd class DDG[/b]

STEALTH measures:
This sub has AENOIC tiles along the hull to absorb active SONAR rays
The pump filters for the nuclear reactor produce 25% of the noise of the USS Seawolf. This makes detection virtually impossible.
The ships surfaces in the interior are mainly rubber coated to absorb sounds.
Special/Intel missions
This ship can comes with the option for a 32 man wet/dry compartment for SEALs or other special forces. This is attached to the top of the deck aft of the conning tower or sail. The pices is $75 million extra.
At the cost of 10 torpedo spaces, special intelligence gear for spy missions and surveillance can be added. Costs are based on what you spend on your own equipment and not charged here.
