Both Buczak Nautischtechnik and Stülpner Schiffswerften can design and construct ships.

Angelo and Associates has a Navy Division, which would be more than happy to construct a ship to your liking. Many large ships, like massive Dreadnaughts have been made, and a small Blue Wave PC has been made for speed and hit and run.

Anything can be made, even a submericapl aircraft carrier (currently under design).

As a messanger, one of the five Liberator CUH's, the TNS Matt, the Truitti Flag Ship and only Liberator Mk. 3, will come, along with a few escorts.

(The Liberator CUH is a four angeled deck one standerd deck massive aircraft carrier capable of holding roughly 500 aircraft)

We're looking for several small, heavily armed ships. It's still a ship, but very small by NS standards. Contact me on MSN or AIM if you're still interested.

We've got just the thing for you. The LRRN's Son House and Howlin' Wolf class corvettes are small and very heavily armed.

Hybalt Shipyards would be interested in designing a vessel suited to your requirements. As you can see, we have quite some experience in shipbuilding and custom designs. If you wish for the design to be kept secret, I suggest TGing me your requirements, or PMing me on the International Mall.

Notes
Designed to meet a foreign requirement for a small, fast attack ship with a minimal crew and considerable anti-shipping capabilities for use in a modern navy, the Alexander-class Guided Missile Destroyer is designed around a low-observability trimaran hull. Employing carbon fibre composites, radar-absorbant material, and a coating of the durable, waterproof Alligned Crystal Low-Observability Coating, or ACLOC, as well as a low-observability hull architecture, the Alexander-class is extremely difficult to detect using active radar. Presenting a distinctly unconventional silhouette, the Alexander-class is armed to the teeth, carrying eighty VLS cells of different models. Additionally, while the Alexander-class does have hangars for two helicopters, or similar VTOL craft, they are not positioned in the conventional aft position. Rather, they open to port and starboard, with the landing pads on the trimaran wings.

Tactical Systems:
Central to the considerable firepower of the Alexander-class is the Mk41 Vertical Launch System mounted aft of the main superstructure. Thirty-two launch cells in total capable of firing either BGM-109 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles in the Land Attack or Anti-Ship configurations, or BGM-84 Harpoon Anti-Shipping Missiles provide the vessel wth considerable punch over great distances. For further fire-support capability, the Alexander-class has been provided with the new 155mm Advanced Gun System, capable of engaging targets up to one hundred miles distant. Additionally, the vessel's anti-missile and anti-air firepower have been greatly advanced over previous ships of its size and type. The addition of a pair of MDG-351 35mm cannons, the so-called "Millenium Guns", as well as the use of the Evolved Sea Sparrow missile grants the Alexander the ability to provide a superior threat to inbound enemy aircraft or missiles. Additionally, the Alexander has the appropriate fire control systems to launch the Standard Missile-2 Block IVA Theater Ballistic Missile Defence weapons, allowing it to destroy theater ballistic missiles. VanDoos Shipyards would like to stress that these are Theater Ballistic Missiles it is capable of destroying. No tests have yet been performed against the Intercontinental variety, though there is some discussion as to whether the SM-2 IVA could engage and destroy a true ballistic inbound.

In terms of electronics and defensive measures, the Alexander is exceptionally capable. In addition to her passive countermeasures, such as the low-observability architecture of her hull, and the coating of ACLOC paint, which absorbs inbound radar emissions and prevents them from returning to the transmitting vessel, she employs a full suite of active countermeasures, including the AN/SLQ-32A(V)3 Electronic Warfare (EW) System and an advanced suite of decoys. Her conventional SRBOC units are enhanced by the addition of the Nulka active radar dekoy system, and for the purposes of fooling inbound torpedoes, the Alexander is equipped with both Prairie-Masker and a NIXIE towed decoy. Her radar is the new solid state SPY-3F X-Band Multi-Function Phased Array Radar unit, capable of performing duties that once required three separate units, and is augmented by the inclusion of the Dominion's Have Maniac LIDAR system. Although Have Maniac operates at half the range of the SPY-3F, it is exceptionally useful in that it allows the Alexander to perform an active surface or air search without alerting the enemy to her presence.

Propulsion:
As if her other capabilities weren't enough, the Alexander continues what has become a Dominion naval tradition and does not employ any form of screw or pumpjet propulsor for its primary drive system. Instead, it uses a new form of propulsion - Utterly silent, even up to maximum speed, fully reversable, and incredibly reliable. The new drive is known as a Ducted Superconducting Electromagnetic Propulsion (http://www.cs.arizona.edu/japan/www/atip/public/atip.reports.91/ship.html) drive, or DSEMP. It functions by using strong superconducting electromagnets to develop a strong magnetic field in the surrounding water. Current is then fed through the water to cross the magnetic field. This interaction between the magnetic field and the current generates electromagnetic force to propel the ship. The DSEMP drive generates these magnetic fields in water running through twin ducts that pass from bow to stern. DSEMP systems are incredibly durable, and the twin units mounted on the Alexander-class are capable of continuing operation with less than twenty-five percent of the drive segments destroyed. With no moving parts, they are also very reliable, and require little maintenance.
