The religious nuts have said it, the scientists have said it, even the average joe has said it. The world is coming to an end. The polar ice caps will met causing the world to be englufed with water.

Verstummelung annouced the reduction of its land based armed forces the other day, yet at the same time the Naval armed forces skyrocked.

After the failed war with Witzgall the Navy's current strenght seemed low.

Already, Verstummelung has begun construction on her new "High Seas Fleet."

The town of Ashlung was recently upscaled, the beach was cleared and a shipyard was constructed, also an island off the coast has become a shipyard/naval base.

The Navy is expecting several new submarine models, included is a rumor of a squadron of Bismark looking battleships with all the abilities of a modern combat vessel, it also has the ability to submerge and act as an attack submarine.

Verstummelung is known for its armed forces survice, but some say such a task can not be acomplished. Admiral Wilherm had this to say.

"The previous war taught us that submarines will dominate all. So, we figured if we constructed a battleship that could become a submarine and still act as a battleship it would be far more cheap to use 51inch rail guns to fire salvos at enemy coastal positions than fire missiles."

The Navy has plans to construct a massive fleet, also an underwater naval base for this fleet is to be constructed.

The Naval ship numbers are expected to skyrocket, this turn of events gives much needed jobs to the country's fragile econemy.

"With a powerful Navy we can defend ourselfs if need be, and also deal back more bite with our bark."
