Dear Commodore Tucker:

For various reasons, that your government is well aware of, we need a few ships. Specifically, we're interested in 2 of the Calypso class Dreadnaughts. Any chance that for an ally you'd agree to a 2 year installment arrangement on payments? We'd rather keep our budget trim as we are in the process of upgrading our airforce as well. BTW, the modified Pauster class medical ships we bought several years back are still in service and kicking butt.

Dear sirs:

We're in the process of a major naval overhaul and would like, for simplicities sake, to order 2 Nanticoke-class heavy carriers and 2 of your multi-role naval fleet package deals. $179 billion has been place in an escrow account to be paid out to you at the rate of 1/2 upon confirmation of the order, 1/4 upon receipt of 1/2 the order and the final 1/4 upon receipt of the entire order. If these terms are acceptable, please let us know. If we are entitled to a discount due to the size of our purchase, we would request that any discount be applied towards supplying ammunitions, shells, etc. for the battleships and carriers (not planes though, we've got that covered, just stuff for the guns, maybe a few missiles, etc.)

Thank you for contacting the Portland Iron Works about ordering the Alliance-class supercruiser. Unfortunately, due to your economic situation (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=Commandoes), we must decline your order at this time. Once your nation's economic rating improves, we will consider an order from you in the future.

[OOC: With an economic rating of Imploded, your nation's first priority should be to support your people, not buy arms for your military. Even if your economy were much stronger, you still should look at your defense budget and figure on no more than one third of your total defense budget for any one of the armed forces branches. Besides that, you've got to feed, clothe, provide and maintain weapons for soldiers, sailors, officers, and support staff for a military.]

Subject: Purchase of Pasteur-class AH

Dear Cmdre. Tucker:

I regret our laxness in procuring vessels from your superlative shipyards. I assure you, it is not from lack of interest, but merely of funds as the RINN has endeavoured to restructure itself in accordance with new weapons systems. To rebalance a current deficiency in our amphibious strike groups, the Royal Navy requires five new Pasteur-class hospital ships, to be purchased for the sum of $6,250 million.

We thank you in advance and will forward the funds to the PIW account on receipt of acceptance of our order. Long may the brotherhood between our
two great nations remain strong and long live President Sarzo and the First Partner!

Re: Gabin Class (AKR)

We are in the market for a ship that offers beach landing capability of M1 tanks. We would like something along the line of the old LST ships used in WWII, having a shallow draft and "drive thru" style open cargo hold. We are curious if the Gabin Class (AKR) ships you are currently marketing fit this criteria? If they do not would your company be willing to construct such a vessel for our navy? We would be willing to place a substaintal order if you would be willing to build them.

Thank you for your inquiry into the Gabin-class AKR and its tank carrying capabilities. The Gabin has a roll-on, roll off capacity; however, the class would require a port to deliver tanks since its draught is too low for the direct to shore operations you have inquired about.

We are in the process of studying an amphibious delivery vessel that would have the kind of shallow draught capability needed for such an operation and we will notify you once we have some preliminary designs in place.

Once again, thank you for contacting the Portland Iron Works for your naval needs and we hope to hear from you again in the future.

I need two Vanguard-class Trimaran hulled guided missile Heavy Strike Ship for 300 billion. I need them ASAP.

To: Whittier
From: Commodore Barbara Tucker (ISN-Ret.)
Managing Director, Portland Iron Works
Subject: Order questions

The Portland Iron Works has received your order for two Vanguard-class heavy strike ships. We have some question regarding the intent of these ships and whom the ships are intended to be used against. We recall that while we were members of NATO, your government posed a threat to that body.

While we are no longer members of the New Alliance Treaty Organisation, we maintain close relationships with some of the countries still within that body. We can not confirm an order that would place any of our allies at risk. As a result, we believe you would understand if our government reviews its intelligence on your country before we make a decision.

Also, owing to the construction on a massive order, we estimate that it would take eight NS years [8 RL days] to complete two Vanguard-class vessels. If our government's review is in your favor and you are willing to accept the eight year time frame, we would be able to deliver the ships to you at that time.

Thank you for contacting the Portland Iron Works.

Your Naval Yards have the reputation of producing some of the finest vessels in the world and the former nation of Endenia has purchased your ships before. However due to our unforseen Nuclear Disaster that has completely wiped out our navy, we will have to start from scratch again. Seeing as you were a prime supplier of naval vessels to Endenia, we have chosen you to begin our Naval Rearming Program.

Our order is as follows:
1X Surface Strike
Total: $15 Bn

Seeing as our current budget cannot pay for the naval ships, we ask whether you have a possible payment plan as these ships will form the core of our new defence fleet.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PIW to commission new classes, retire older ships

PORTLAND (ASP) -- The Portland Iron Works is heralding what they say is the beginning of a new era in its long and prosperous history by announcing the first step in their reorganisation of the company. The company just commissioned two stealthy submarines, the Steadfast-class submarine capable of firing either ballistic missiles or guided missiles and the Navarre-class nuclear powered attack submarine. The company also announced the addition of the Victory-class Trimaran-hulled fleet carrier, which sources say might also be offered by the Imperial Praetonian Shipyards.

"We believe these three new classes speak to our ability as a company to adjust with the needs of our customers," former ISN Commodore Barbara Tucker, the company's managing director, said. "We are very excited about the possibilities these classes have for our navy and for our export customers."

The company announced that they were also retiring several older classes, including the first warship class ever designed by Sarzonians, the Alliance-class super cruiser. Tucker said the ships were being retired to make way for newer designs and were part of the company's intent to reorganise to form an "even tighter operation."

"We're not undertaking this because of any monetary struggles," Tucker said. "On the contrary, we're taking this on because we've been doing well. We just feel like it's time for better presentation of the Portland Iron Works product to our customers."

Sources are suggesting that the PIW might bring the Alliance back in a retooled version with the sturdy construction being given all new PIW ships, monohulled or Trimaran. The Randolph-class will most likely not return, Tucker said.

"If there's a groundswell of support for any of the classes we are retiring, we will consider unretiring them," she said. "The Wixted-class was briefly retired until one of our export customers talked us into bringing it back into service."

Tucker said the last Alliance-class supercruiser will roll off the assembly line in two NS years (2 RL days) and will be sold to Praetonia for its naval museum.

"The Alliance is a museum piece," a source within Praetonia's naval acquisition department said. "We wanted to have a piece of history."

RE: Greenmanbry-class Trimaran Battle Carrier

It has come to our attention that the Greenmanbry-class has been cleared through Portland's testing facilities, and is ready for production and possible export to the world's nations.

As per the deal Admiral Neitsvy struck with the Portland Iron Works several years ago, we are officially putting in a massive order for fourteen (14) of these beasts. Also in the deal was the expansion of Greenmanbry's docks and facilities to accomodate these vessels at a cost of sixty billion dollars per dock.

Although the original number of docks to be expanded was sixteen, we request that four docks in Greenmanbry's newly-acquired Lebanon be expanded to accomodate these vessels, bringing the total number of docks up to twenty from the previous sixteen.

The value of this contract is -- $ 2,026,000,000,000

The payments will be made, in full, to the Portland Iron Works, in ten annual installments of - $ 202,600,000,000 - each. Please advise as to whether this payment plan is acceptable.

Thank you for your time.

Deputy Managing Director, Portland Iron Works
Subject: Confirmation

The Portland Iron Works is happy to confirm your order of one General Purpose Fleet at the payment plan listed. We estimate that it will take us approximately eight NS years [8 RL days] to complete construction on the ships in your order, and we will deliver them to you upon full payment of your balance after completion of sea trials.

We thank you for contacting us for your naval needs and we hope to hear from you again.

OOC: Once more i return!

IC: With the recent purchase from Sarzonia's Portland Iron Works naval storefront the president decided make a MASSIVE purchase for the navy.

He gave this short speech at the recent National Defence meeting:

" Ladies and Gentlemen, i must make an announcement of a massive scale, something that shall change the course of navy, bringing our nation's navy in line with some of the best navies around the world.

Our recent Purchase from Portland Iron Works Naval Department has made our navy extremely powerful, although operating costs are high, KDX, being an island, must be able to defend itself.

That is why, upon the direct advise from our highest naval experts i have, upon full government support, given permission to order a full fleet, with over 250 Ships, from the great Sarzonia. Our order shall take a large sum from our naval Budget, however, this is neccessary, to stay at the top of ALL nations of our size in naval power, and to ensure our navy is equiped fully for many decades.

The cost is, a total of $315 billion, all of which shall be paid partly from unspent military money from years past, with growth from interest in our national bank, and hopefully, with an extensive yearly pay package.

You shall be told when we have received confirmation of what shall happen to this order and to the future of our navy. Thankyou. "

Subject: Major Naval Package Purchase

I have once more decided to purchase a new fleet from yourselves, with a massive order coming directly from our own President.

This order is for One General Purpose Fleet containing 253 ships, at a Cost of $315 billion.

Payment of this sum can NOT be made in one lump, we therefore must ask for you to accept a fist payment of a total $150 Billion USD, with subsequent payments of $billion untill $300Billion is reached when any further payments required shall be payed. We are willing to take a small fall and pay you extra for this deal if you so accept it.

We would also pay ALL costs for the carriers to e equiped with aircraft from your sister company, Avalon Aerospace Corporation (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=365142), although if not possible we shall do so ourselves. Thankyou for your last packages, we are very glad of you and feel in debted to yourself.

Zeppelin-class BBGN (PIW model)
Notes
Weapons systems
GWLS.33 is comparable to the Mk.41-Tactical VLS, the GWLS.35 to the Mk.41-Strike VLS. The GWLS.65 may be replaced by RAM missile launchers. The GWLS.66M2 are four-cell automatic-operation-capable (AOC) very short range air defence (VSHORAD) missile launchers, which fire Sarzonian Yellow Jacket missiles. The NLG-30 is a single-crew served 30mm autocannon. The GWLS.39 may fire Isselmere-Nielander Pelican anti-ship missile. The GWLS.60 fires Isselmere-Nielander Eel surface-launched underwater warfare rockets. The GWLS.58M2 fires the Sarzonian Scourge anti-ship missile or the Isselmere-Nielander Hurricane anti-ship missile, Lanneret theatre-area air defence (THAAD) missile, and Orca anti-submarine missile. The GWLS.58M2 may be replaced with a Sarzonian Scorcher missile launcher on a 2/3 basis (i.e. a 48-cell GWLS.58M2 may be replaced by a 32-cell Scorcher missile complex). The RST are retractable submerged turrets, each with a 20mm supercavitating round (SCR) firing cannon. It is inadvisable to deploy the RST at speeds above 12 knots.

All guns on the Sarzonian version are produced by the Incorporated Ordnance Company.

Sensors
The Huginn multifunction radar is a dual-mode (active transmitter and passive receiver) radar , operating primarily in the X-band. The Kafka volume air search radar operates in the S-band. The hull-mounted sonar (Fenris) is a low frequency dual mode digital sonar emitting preformed beams providing panoramic echo ranging and imaging and passive surveillance.

On the Sarzonian model, the electronic countermeasures and surveillance suite is replaced by the AN/SLY-2(V) Advanced Integrated Electronic Warfare System (AIEWS), the radars by the AN/SPY-4 MFR and AN/SPN-23 navigational radars, the sonars by the AN/SQR-6(B) passive towed array and the AN/SQS-57 dual-mode hull-mounted digital sonar array emitting a preformed beam providing panoramic echo ranging and panoramic (DIMUS) passive surveillance.

Countermeasures
The MLE.140 MUSE countermeasure launcher fires rockets that deploy chaff and smoke against enemy missiles and other devices to divert missiles or disrupt targeting.

On the Sarzonian model, the MLQ.135 Mackerel anti-torpedo decoy is replaced by the AN/SLQ-25 Nixie.

Characteristics
Displacement: 268,942t (deep)
Dimensions: length 443.8m (oa); beam 57.28m; draught 13.68m.
Propulsion: 14-propulsor CONAG-IFEP; 4 pressurised water fission reactors (INNEC RA(PW)-10) and 4 gas turbines (IMW MTG-6), with 2 auxiliary diesel generators (IMW MED-31); 1GW + 128MW = 32.8+ kts.
Crew: 2,862 (2,624 peacetime; + vehicle crew, marines (143), staff (60)); can accommodate 3,600
Armour (RSIN model): layered composite of steel alloy (case-hardened nickel and molybdenum alloy), ballistic ceramics, and ballistic polymers (nylon outer shell with polymer ‘fabrics’ for anti-spall protection), spaced with certain void spaces filled with fire-resistant ballistics dampening foam. Key locations (turrets, magazines, landing deck, conning tower [CT] and command information centre [CIC], and NBC citadels) protected by an additional layer of titanium alloy. Deck armour angled at 30-degrees under main deck of steel alloy-ballistic polymer composite. Hardened crossbeams provide additional bulkhead protection.
Protection: (Main belt) 76.2-86.36cm; (Main turrets): 86.36m (face)-66cm (back); (Main barbettes): 86.36cm; (Secondary barbettes): 15.5cm; (Main missile magazines): 40.6cm; (Hangar): 40.6cm; (Deck (key spaces)): 50.8cm; (Conning tower, CIC): 91.44cm; (Bulkheads): 13cm.
