Associated Press: USSNSR Navy To Pull Aging Carriers And Other Vessels From Combat Duty

--- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Havana, Cuba, USSNSR (AP) -- In a continuous shift of military structure, it seems even the USSNSR's Red Navy is reforming itself. With this reforming, expansion, and updating, questions have arisen as to what is to happen to a number of vessels long serving the USSNSR, inparticular a trio of Nimitz class carriers. The questions seemingly have been answered.

Releases from the Red Navy seem to indicate that the trio of carriers, along with a handful of other ships will be used for one purpose or another. Talk has it the three Nimitzes will be converted to vessels for training and wargames as will six Seawolf Class Attack Submarines. Question still hangs for other ships though such as a number of Arleigh Burke, Spruance, and Kidd class destroyers.

Word has it that the ships of these three seperate classes, a total of eight vessels, will possibly be donated to small nations as gifts, used for training, take on the task of being targets and/or being gutted and scuttled to act as artificial reefs. As of now though, unfortunatly, nothing is official.

If you are looking to replace your Outdated Nimitz carriers, we invite you to inspect our new Atlas Class Super Carrier. It far surpasses the old Nimitz carriers inboth size, power, and Aircraft housing abilities by drastic margins.

Hey NSR, do you plan on having naval stuff soon? If not, you know what...

The USSNSR already has plans to increase it's naval size and already has its eyes on possible arms manufacturers to purchase from.

(OOC: I know, I know.........Hamptonshire.)

lol, I'm suprised its not Doujin. (Unless he's long gone...)

(OOC: I dont believe Doujin's around anymore. And from what I remember, their thing was simply the biggest craft possible. I've bought from Hamptonshire before though and I really like his stuff. I will though still take a look at your stuff...even if I'm unsured about the idea of munmanned frigates.)

Yeah, well there are only 3 totally unmanned ships - all those in the VS section are manned.

OoC: Just keeping tabs here.

Earth Orbit

The satelite Pelax brought itself in position over cuba and more importantly the Neo-Soviet Russia naval bases. Its high intensity camera recording many images of the fleet and its possible reinforcements.

Doujin has left the game indefinately. However, The Freethinkers has some excellent stuff (can't find the link unfortunately, but search for threads made by him and you should find it). Also Portland Ironworks (Sarzonia), Hybalt Industries (Granzi) and Imperial Praetonian Shipyards (me hehe) are all well worth a look.

EDIT: And how could I forget the famous Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Neiland (Isselmere).

(OOC: Please note that at the moment I'm not in the search for naval craft. Atleast that's not what this topic is for. Though sooner or later i will look over the suggestions)
