We require a large naval upsizing.

Rather than look through endless storefronts to glaze over statistics, we have decided that no longer will we go through storefronts for our naval purchases.

Our current naval forces are weakened after the SCA war- one of our two nuclear carriers was sunk. This represents a serious force projection problem, as well as leaving us lame, having only another nuclear carrier and a smaller escort carrier for the Naval Infantry (Marines).

Furthermore, we have grown significantly and have a bigger budget. Three carriers simply won't do anymore.

We will take the best offer for a present-day carriers as well as other ships. We need:

-Five large (CVN) nuclear carriers
-One medium nuclear carrier for the Marines. Must have an angled "jump jet" ramp
-Three escort carriers
-At least a dozen submarines capable of underwater firing of ICBMs

We can provide suitable escort ships for the carriers.


We want present-tech only, not stealth carriers with n00ks on them.

We await your offers.

This is a good Nuclear Carrier for ya.

The standard fleet carrier for the Hamptonian Royal Navy, the Vulpine Class is a solid performer. With a comprehensive sensory package, identical to the Quantum Class, the Vupline is just short of a floating military base. Her spaced armor system allows the ship to brush off all but the heaviest of anti-shipping missiles.

Propulsion system: Five PWR Reactors, driving 5 steam turbines providing a total of 325,000shp on 4 shafts. Six emergency diesels capable of providing 18,000hp.
Propellers: Four
Blades on each Propeller: Five

Now this is a good Escort Carrier.

Originally designed as a special order vessel, the Quantum Class has grown into a mainstay of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. Used as a Light Carrier, the Quantum Class is a near perfect addition to any Patrol Group. As an Amphibious Operations Platfrom, this ship provides a near stand alone capability. For smaller nations and those nations that don't spend much on their Navies, a Quantum is nearly a one ship Task Force.

2,500 troops; 250 vehicle crew members; 120 Aircraft Pilots
2 LCACs; 30 Light Amphibious Tanks (Can be replaced by 15 Main Battle Tanks); 50 Amphibious Combat Vehicles (Can be replaced by 25 Standard Troop Transports); 50 support vehicles; 8 Helicopters (Attack and/or transport); 5,000 tons of nonessential equipment and supplies

A very nice Medium Carrier.

While classified as a Light Carrier, the Endeavour Class is by almost all means a Medium Fleet Carrier. Armed to the teeth, at least for a ship of her type and size, the Endeavour is perfect for those nations that can't spare a Carrier Battle Group for an ocean patrol. While not as heavily armored as the Vulpine, the Endeavour has proven again and again that "oldie" is still a "goodie".

Propulsion system: 8 boilers and 4 steam turbines providing a total of 225,000shp on 4 shafts.
Propellers: Four
Blades on each Propeller: Five
Length: 999 feet (304.5 meters)
Beam: 124 feet (37.8 meters)
Draft: 34 feet (10.4 meters)
Flight Deck Width: 230 feet (70 meters)
Flight Deck Length: 999 feet (304.5 meters)
Displacement: approx. 69,000 tons full load
Maximum Speed: 32+ knots

And if you want to nuke things.

The first domestically produced SSBN and SSGN, the Caesar Class will form the third edge of the Grand Duchy of Hamptonshire's Strategic Deterrence Force. Using a traditional double hull construction technique as well as the addition of exterior sonar defeating rubber coating, the Caesar is capable of extended high speed and deep depth missions while maintaining a level of quiteness almost inconceiveble in other submarines.

The Caesar utilizes new Pump Jet Propulor technology to provide high speed and low noise propulsion. The Caesar is capable of launching its Nuclear Missiles at depths up to 300 feet. This is possible because "at depth" the missiles are launched in a disposable watertight canister that allows the missile to launch itself normaly once it reaches the proper depth. The two Sail Mounted Short Range Missile Launchers are retractable short range missle launchers used for anti-air defense or for light anti-shipping missiles.

The SSGN version of the Caesar Class utilizes the Octuple Vertical Launch Long Range Missile Launchers found on the Brutus Class. Using this system Anti-shipping and standard cruise missiles can be launched at depths up to 300 feet. This is possible because "at depth" the missiles are launched in a disposable watertight canister. Due to the size of the Casear's hull and the 32 missile 'hardpoints', the Caesar is able to fire 256 FastFalcon or other such missiles.

Power System: Two Heavy PWR Reactors developing 195,000 hp.
Propulsion System: One Pump Jet Propulsion Unit
Height: 34 feet
Width: 80 feet
Length: 582 feet
Displacement: approx. 34,600 tons
Max Speed (surface): 28 knots
Max Speed (submerged): 33+ knots
Cruising Speed (surface): 20 knots
Cruising Speed (submerged): 25+ knots
Crew: 113 enlisted, 18 officers
Maximum Depth: 3,280.9 feet (1,000 meters)

Armament:
Both Versions:
4 x 650mm Heavy Torpedo Tubes; 2 x Sail Mounted Short Range Missile Launchers

SSBN Version:
32 x Nuclear Missile Launch Tubes

SSGN Version:
32 x Octuple Vertical Launch Long Range Missile Launchers (256 missiles)

Countermeasures:
Torpedo Defense System; AN/SLQ-30 Torpedo Countermeasures System; AN/SLQ-48 Electronic Warfare System; SSTDS Torpedo Defense System; 60 x Anti-Torpedo Noisemakers; 2 x Short Range Supercavicating Torpedo Interception Launchers
Advanced Decoys: The submarine carries eight advance decoy drones. They are small automated vehicles that create a false sonar image designed to mimic the submarine's sonar signature. It has a small propulsion system that can simulate movement (has a top speed of 10 knots) and maneuvers.
Quieted propulsion and Anechoic Coating: The ship is designed with a very quiet propeller design, the submarine's reactors make very little noise, and the ship is coated by a sonar defeating rubber coating.

Sensor Systems:
HDC Version XII Advanced Hull Sonar System; HDC-2C Three Dimensional Search Radar System; HDC Type-3 Advanced Towed Array Sonar; HDC Type-4 ESM; Red Ruby Lite Magnetometer

Cost:
SSBN: $1.75 billion
SSGN: $2 billion

Those vessels, along with all other Rosian warships, are produced by the Hamptonshire Defense Corporation. The HDC would be honored to fill any order you may bring to us.
