Royal North Somerset Navy Storefront

Introduction

The North Somerset Navy has traditionally relied on foreign naval vessels that have been purchased. As the nations of North West Somerset and North East Somerset expanded, a new project called the Indigenous Warship Program (IWP) was called for. We now have three shipyards and ships for our navies are being produced rapidly. We now need new customers to keep the shipyards going and the shipyards have produced a comprehensive range of up-to-date, very modern ships at prices very reasonable to either navies which need ships for their navy or are just starting out. We have recently built a new large dockyard which can cope with much bigger ships such as cruisers which we are now marketing. We are constantly updating our range of ships and will be bringing in a new revolutionary minesweeper soon. Our ships are excellent in quality and price, and will make up the foundation of any navy.

In fact our naval ships and weaponry is used by our own navy and we would not buy anything but the highest quality ships for the Royal North Somerset Navy. We have built 100 'Atlanta Class' Frigates, 25 'Pacifica Class' Destroyers, 25 'Fisher Class' Patrol Submarines, 25 'Whaler' Class Attack Submarines, 50 'International Class' Patrol ships and 50 'Superior' Class Corvettes.

We will however only supply our ships to nations with suitable economies, they must be able to afford the ships and have enough money to maintain them. Our Prices are all in NationState (or US) Dollars ($) and we class one NS year to be one RL day. Economies are calculated using the Thracetailteann calculator, see: http://members.fortunecity.com/thracetailteann/html/gnp.html

-Inglis General Escort Group= 1.5 billion
-Brookes General Surface Group=20 billion
-Abel General Submarine Group= 7 billion

The grand total is 28.5 billion

Subject: Naval Order
To: Mussia
From: North West Somerset

Your order of our naval vessels:
-Inglis General Escort Group= 1.5 billion
-Brookes General Surface Group=20 billion
-Abel General Submarine Group= 7 billion
The grand total is 28.5 billion

It actually comes to $31 billion as Brookes GSG is actually $22.5 Billon. We will discount it to $30 billion.
Your nation cannot actually afford this.
Never-the-less the NSN is prepared to sell it to you if you pay in daily instalments of $3 billion for 10 days (10 ns years).

Confirm the order and say you will pay the $30 billion in daily instalments of $3 billion. Thank-you VERY much, we hope you order from us soon.

My nation would be interested in purchasing 2 of your Inglis escort groups, totalling 3 billion, please.

Money will be wired upon sending...

The 2 Inglis Escort Groups order will be completed and sent to your nation in 2 NS years. We appologise for the 2 month delay in processing your order. This is due to the nation who manages the storefront, North West Somerset was deleted by the mods. I didn't realise that the storefront was posted as a joint venture between North East Somerste and North West Somerset and we can now complete your order.

WE PLAN TO RE-OPEN THIS STOREFRONT UNDER A NEW THREAD SOON OR AUCTION OFF THE RIGHTS TO PRODUCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT.

Tag for purchases later on

A Decision Has Been Reached By The North East Somerset Navy. If Any Equipment For The Navy Is To Be Bought In The Future It Will Be Attained By A Ministry Who Will Buy It From Foreign Countries.
This Means Production Rights For All The Naval Equipment (all Ship Designs And Naval Weaponry) Will Be Auctioned Off And The Funds Given To The Shipyards Involved.
