The Velociraptor class destroyer is a vessel to be recconed with. It is 210 meters long, and carries a whooping arsenal of 18 'Lance' SSMs (or Harpoon equivilant), 12 'Javelin' SAMs (or SM-2 equivilent), 6 'Halbeard' anti battleship missiles (or Tomahawk equivilent) and 6 'Pole-axe' land attack cruise missiles (or Tomahawk equivilent) loaded into Mk 51 VLS tubes mounted in front of the superstructure. Enough for it to fullfill its task as a anti-surface combatant. It also carries an 8 inch main cannon and 6 Mk.50 ASW torpedoes for self-defense.

The Velociraptor mounts a solid SPY 4F radar array, and is capable of tracking up to 600 different targets if needed to. It is also equipped with a SQS-78 sonar array for tracking of submarines.

The Velociraptor carries 40 officers and 240 enlisted, a total of 280 crewmembers, and a further 170 can be carried in an emergency.

The Velociraptor can carry 2 Merlin Mk. 1 helicopters (or similar) in a hangar, although normally one is carried.

The powerplant on the Velociraptor is a Cottish Nuclear Energy (CNE) Mk. 8 cold fission reactor. This combined with a sharp clipper bow makes the Velociraptor capable of maintaining a speed of 39 knots over several hours. The armament and speed of the vessel is enough to entitle it with its name: Velociraptor.

The going price for a Velociraptor is $ 500 000 000.

The sales are now open.

OOC: Just a note, all of the missiles mentioned (not the US ones - you know what I mean) are the sole property of Imperial Praetonian Shipyards and therefore the Praetonian State by proxy, and are built in Cotland for the Cotlandi navy under license.
