It was late at night when the final El Al 747 landed at the major airfield on the IDF military island of Kerguellen. The people who had been flown in were among IDF's best shipyard workers. their mission was classified. They took the job without knowing what it was as they were promised high pay on the island. A total of over 7,500 dock workers had been flown over to work on the most secret project of the IDF Navy, the building of a new dreadnought.
IDF had 3 of the older Guillen class dreadnoughts, but they were aging and would need replacement or at least more of them to be built. There had been 4 of the big Guillen ships, but 3rd of class ISS Ditka was damaged seriously while on deployment. Her burned out hulk was still sitting in an IDF dock yard. It was unknown whether or not she would be sold for scrap or sold for use in another nation. Her future in the IDF Navy was over. With it went the idea of the invincible Guillen class. They were not looked at with fear. It had been decided that a newer dreadnought would have to be designed soon to deal with the threats popping up every day.
Deep inside the carved out rocks of the island was the world's most protected naval base. With the docks all under at least 100 feet of rock cover it was hard to attack and harder to get a number count of a fleet there. During the last 30 years of IDF control of the island, a large shipyard had been carved out to build the largest and most secretive ships in the navy. The yard had barely been started when the Guillens were built on the Sinai Penninsula so they were not built here.
The workers gazed at the size of the man made cave where they would work. Standing up from the floor was a sign, ISS DAVID BEN GURION, David ben Gurion class SDN-5. They knew their job was the change this sign into a reality.
