The Squid Class small coastal submarine design came as a response to the pressing need of the INA for smaller class ships to protect the borders. The request was for a small, quiet and fairely armed design to complement the projected coastal defence squadrons. As the Imperial Navy was satisfied after the tests were concluded, the submarine was integrated in the coastal defence squadrons.
Upgrade consisted in adding the capability to launch anti-ship missiles of Albatros SM1 type with a range of 50 km.

Coastal Battery Program Completed
CB-1 Interdiction Coastal Battery
History:
Started in 58 C.D., the Interdiction program is the product of the FCDB programm (Future Coastal Defense Battery), that apeared as the result of a request from the Calpian High Command. As a result of the analysis done by the Imperial Secret Service, the conclusion came that in the world today, a country needs more then a powerfull navy and airforce to be able to maintain its sovereignity. The Interdiction Coastal Battery was designed by Caltech, and the first prototype has been tested nearly one year ago. Now, finnaly, after three years from the start of the programm, the CB-1 Interdiction is starting to be deployed in Calpe.
Overview:
The CB-1 is intended to engage surface ships, fleet auxiliaries and motor boats, as well as ground targets at a distance of up to 250 km. Self-targeting, surveillance and tracking of sea and ground targets, as well as automatic fire control of artillery mounts, can be performed via fire control system of the central station, from one of the two observation posts and a helicopter providing the direction of fire. Additionally, the artillery mounts can deliver decentralised fire (without control of the central station) using the target data supplied from the optical electromechanical sights, command and control posts and target acquisition equipment, ballistic computers and laser range finders.
CT-21 155-450mm Coastal Artillery Fire Control
The CT-21 is designed to carry out surveillance of the surrounding medium and control fire of mobile and stationary artillery mounts against sea and ground targets
The system includes a surveillance and sea target tracking radar, optronic module, radar data presentation and fire control equipment, as well as artillery gun mount interface equipment. Caliber of artillery gun mounts controlled: 155-450mm guns.
Additional CT-21 systems are placed in underground bunkers, mounted on trucks in the eventuality that the main radar is taken offline by anti-radiation missiles.
Range: up to 400 km, with eventual assistance from UAV`s, helicopters, airplanes or satellites
Number of targets engaged simultaneously: 5 (1 target for each triple gun turret)
Number of gun mounts controlled simultaneously: 6-15
Number of targets tracked simultaneously: 250
Armament:
5 * 16"/58 Cal. Mk.2 Naval Triple Gun turret with a total of 15 guns
Crew: 76 per turret
Range: 56.5 km (APC), 64.4 km (HC), 73.5 km (HC type 2), 250 km (ERGM)
Rate of Fire: 2.33 rpm (35 total w/ 15 guns)
Ammunition Load: 1950 rounds total (390 per turret, 130 per gun) average.
Ammunition Weight: 1250 kg AP, 1075 kg HC, 1200 kg HC type 2, 300 kg ER (launch weight of Sabot)
Armor Penetration (APC): 26.8” @ 22 km, 22.5” @ 28 km, 17.5” @ 37.9 km, 16.5” @ 39.8 km, 15.8” @ 41.8 km, 15” @ 43.8 km, 14.3” @ 45.8 km, 10.9” @ 51.7 km
This is a new 16" gun taking advantage of liquid propellants. It's heavier than the older Mk.1 turrets, but has greater automation, and requires less than 3/4 the crew to man. It also has slightly increased rate of fire and a 13% range increase.
Due to its 250 km range with assisted rounds, this Clan Smoke Jaguar turret was selected for the calpian main coastal weapon.
The turrets armor can withstand most of the ammo thrown at her, except maybe specialized weapons for armor penetration, tests showing that cruise missiles are not efective against them, if they can get past the air-defense.
32 * MIM-162 Grendel Launchers long-range SAM
Crew: 54 per fire unit
Armament: 4xGrendel SAM (TEL)
Weapon Range: 140 km
Detection Range: 280 km (separate radar)
A long range SAM for strategic defense that’s much more mobile than older systems like the Hawk. A fire unit consists of 4 TELs (Transporter-Erector Launchers) with 40 missiles (24 reloads), as well as additional tracking and control units.
Each coastal battery has 32 Grendel launchers for a total of 128 ready-to-fire missiles. This is the long-range air-defense of the battery
30 * MIM-159 Vespa Launchers medium-range SAM
Crew: 18 per fire unit, 76 per battery
Armament: 4xVespa SAM (TELAR)
Weapon Range: 85 km
Detection Range: 125 km
A highly mobile medium-long range SAM system for protecting both fixed installations and mobile forces. Unlike most similar systems, it has both the missiles and fire control radar on the same vehicle, allowing each launcher to operate independently. A fire unit consists of 2 TELARs (Transporter-Erector Launcher And Radar) along with a long-range search radar and a missile reload vehicle (both based on the same chassis), and a total of 12 missiles. The reload vehicle can also act as a launcher when tied into a separate fire control radar. A battery has 3 fire units for a total of 6 launchers, as well as additional radars, command units, and missile transport vehicles, giving it a total of 48 missiles.
50 * FlakPz 1A2 Gepard Air Defense Tanks - short-range anti-missile defense
Crew: 3
Combat Weight: 47,500 kg
Speed: 65 km/h
Range: 550 km
Armament: 2x35mm Oerlikon AAG, 4xStinger SAM
Ammunition: 640x35mm HE & 40x35mm AP ready to fire
Weapon Range: 4 km max, 3.5 km effective
Radar Range: 15 km
Armor Protection: 140mm max
This is a powerful, advanced air defense unit most similar to the better known Soviet ZSU-23(4). It consists of a pair of 35mm Oerlikon air defense guns, each firing at up to 550 rpm, with radar fire control. It provides excellent point air defense coverage (out to 3.5 km) with the airbursting AA/HE rounds, and also packs a small load of Sabot rounds for engaging ground targets as well. Finally, a twin launcher for the FIM-92 Stinger can be mounted on each gun. The unit is also quite well protected, being based on a Leopard 1 MBT chassis.
There are a total of 40 coastal defense divisions protecting the shores of calpe, each one composed of 5 coastal defense batteries. Any fleet entering the 250 km kill-zone is covered by one of these divisions.
The total numbers for a division are:
25 triple gun turrets 400 mm with a total of 75 guns and a maximum range of 250 km. Total rate of fire: 175 projectiles 400mm/min
160 MIM-162 Grendel Launchers long-range SAM with a total of 640 Grendel long-range SAM missiles / Range: 140 km
150 MIM-159 Vespa Launchers medium-range SAM with a total of 600 Vespa medium-range SAM missiles / Range: 85 km
250 FlakPz 1A2 Gepard Air Defense Tanks for anti-missile defense / Range: 3.5 km
Each division has 5000 soldiers of the main army in an army base, with the role of protecting the battery and shores untill fast reaction forces reach the zone.
Roles of the coastal defense divisions:
- stop a medium-sized enemy from invading the mainland
- slow down and produce as much damage as possible to big invader nations or coalitions
- allow the army to mobilize and 10 million AK-47`s with ammo be distributed to the population
- allow implementing the scorched earth plan in case of invasion of vastly superior forces (destroying airports in area of landing, highways, roads, railways, docks, etc)
Cost/battery, including underground divisional command center, underground ammo depots, additional armour for the turrets rises up to 3.6 billion $, with a total of 18 billion $ / coastal defense division.
Purpose: to provide overwhelming firepower against any enemy fleet aproaching our shores, while providing front-line air-defense for the country. Due to the very high concentration of SAM`s, any aircrafts aproaching our shores would endure very high losses, only to enter the defense zone of the inland SAM batteries if they pass the coastal defense. Any aircraft aproaching the battery at low range (20-30 km) to launch bombs, also enters the protection zone of the long-range SAM`s from the 2 divisions neighbour to the one beeing atacked. The landing zones that is protected by one division is mined in couple of hours, and the 2 neighbour coastal divisions have long enough range to pound the beaches, or the aproaching landing craft with artillery shells.
Total numbers for the coastal divisions: 40 divisions with a total of 200 batteries - 1000 triple turrets 400mm, 6400 long range SAM launchers, 6000 medium-range SAM launchers, 10.000 Gepard AA tanks
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is phase 1 of the coastal defense program. Steps to be taken in the near future are:
- acquiring turrets with higher caliber to be added
- acquiring railgun technology to be used for the batteries
- producing anti-ship cruise missile launchers for the batteries
- integrating underwater defense system and automatic mine laying capabilities with the coastal battery system for maximum protection for our shores
RNIC-1 Sauron Fleet Ballistic Missile
http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/slbm/pg63l.jpg
The Sauron is a three-stage, solid propellant, inertially guided FBM with a range of more than 4,000 nautical miles (4,600 statute miles or 7,360 km) Sauron is more sophisticated with a significantly greater payload capability. All three stages of the Sauron are made of lighter, stronger, stiffer graphite epoxy, whose integrated structure mean considerable weight savings. The missile's range is increased by the aerospike, a telescoping outward extension that reduces frontal drag by about 50 percent. Sauron is fired by the pressure of expanding gas in the launch tube. When the missile attains sufficient distance from the submarine, the first stage motor ignites, the aerospike extends and the boost stage begins. Within about two minutes, after the third stage motor kicks in, the missile is traveling in excess of 20,000 feet (6,096 meters) per second.
The Sauron missile has the capability of carrying either Mk 4 or Mk 5 reentry vehicles as its payload. The Sauron reentry subsystem consists of either Mk 4 or Mk 5 reentry vehicle assemblies attached by four captive bolts to their release assembly and mounted on the ES. STAS and pre arming signals are transferred to each reentry vehicle shortly before deployment through the separation sequencer unit. When released, the reentry vehicle follows a ballistic trajectory to the target where detonation occurs in accordance with the fuze option selected by fire control through the preset subsystem.
The reentry vehicle contains an AF&F assembly, a nuclear assembly, and electronics. The AF&F provides a safeguard to prevent detonation of the warhead during storage and inhibits reentry vehicle detonation until all qualifying arming inputs have been received.

RNIC-2 Mordor Intercontinental ballistic missile
http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/icbm/pk-picc.jpg
The Mordor is a four-stage intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying up to ten independently-targetable reentry vehicles with greater accuracy than any other ballistic missile. Its design combines advanced technology in fuels, guidance, nozzle design, and motor construction with protection against the hostile nuclear environment associated with land-based systems.
It is a four stage missile, with the first three stages being solid propellant and the fourth stage bu hypergolicly fueled with hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide. The entire missile is encased in a canister in the silo to protect it against damage and to permit "cold launch".
The Mordor is a three-stage rocket ICBM system consisting of three major sections: the boost system, the post-boost vehicle system and the re-entry system.
The boost system consists of three rocket stages that launch the missile into space. These rocket stages are mounted atop one another and fire successively. Three of the four stages exhausted their solid propellants through a single adjustable nozzle which guided the missile along its flight path. Motorcases made of kevlar epoxy material held the solid propellants. The fourth stage post-boost vehicle employed a liquid bi- propellant rocket propulsion system to provide velocity and attitude correction for missile guidance. The post-boost vehicle also employed a self-contained inertial navigation system that allowed the missile to operate independent of ground reference or commands during flight.
The 28-foot first-stage solid-fuel rocket motor weighed approximately 108,000 pounds and is capable of boosting the missile to about 75,000 feet. The 18-foot long second-stage motor propelled the missile to an altitude of about 190,000 feet and weighed 60,000 pounds. The rocket motor in the eight-foot third stage weighed 17,000 pounds and supplied the thrust to boost the missile to about 700,000 feet. The 2,300 pound post-boost fourth stage vehicle was designed to maneuver the missile into position for the multiple reentry vehicles to deploy in their respective ballistic trajectories.
Following the burnout and separation of the boost system's third rocket stage, the post-boost vehicle system, in space, maneuvers the missile as its re-entry vehicles are deployed in sequence.
The post-boost vehicle system is made up of a maneuvering rocket, and a guidance and control system. The vehicle rides atop the boost system, weighs about 3,000 pounds (1,363 kilograms) and is 4 feet (1.21 meters) long.

Centauri Class Amphibious Assault Ship
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/muahdib/LHD12.jpg
Centauri class ships are the first to be specifically designed to accomidate the AV-8B Harrier jump jet and the LCAC hovercraft, along with the full range of Navy and Marine helicopters, conventional landing craft and amphibious assault vehicles to support a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) of 2,000 Marines. The ships also carry some of the most sophisticated communications, command and control capabilities afloat, alongwith state of the art electronic systems and defensive weaponry.
Centauri class ships are 844 feet long with a beam of 106 feet. Two steam propulsion plants, the largest in the Navy, develop 70,000 shaft horsepower for each of the two propulsion shafts. These plants allow the 40,500 ton ship to reach speeds greater than 20 knots. The ship's two propulsion plants generate a total of 400 tons of steam per hour. If the energy of the two boilers were converted to electrical power, it could power a city of 160,000. Electrictal generators aboard ship provide more than 16,000 kilowatts of power for shipboard systems. Two pumping stations give them a 450,000 gallon fueling capacity for embarked aircraft and other vehicles. Onboard distilling plants provide up to 200,000 gallons of fresh water each day. Each Centauri class ship has accommodations for 3,000 troops and crew members. Ships crew consists of 98 officers and 983 enlisted personnel. The ships have six fully equipped operating rooms and a 600 bed hospital, by far the largest at sea with the exception of hospital ships.
They provide the means to deliver, command and support all elements of a Marine Landing Force in an assault by air and amphibious craft. In carrying out their mission, the ships have the option of utilizing various combinations of helicopters, Harrier II (AV-8B) Jump Jets and air cushion landing craft (LCAC), as well as conventional landing craft and assault vehicles, illustrating the LHD's flexibility. Off the landing beach, Boxer can ballast more than 15,000 tons of seawater for trimming during landing craft launch and recovery operations in the well deck.
Centauri class ships can also provide command and control and aircraft facilities for sea control missions, while operating with an aircraft carrier battle group. They transport and land ashore not only troops, but also the tanks, trucks, jeeps, other vehicles, artillery, ammunition and various supplies necessary to support the amphibious assault mission. Monorail trains, moving at speeds up to 600 feet per minute, transport cargo and supplies from storage and staging areas throughout the ship to a 13,600 square foot well deck which opens to the sea through huge gates in the ship's stern. There, the cargo, troops and vehicles are loaded aboard landing craft for transit to the beach. Air cushion landing craft can "fly" out of the dry well deck; or the well deck can be ballasted down for conventional craft to float out on their way to the assault area. Helicopter flights also transfer troops and equipment to the beach, while the ship's air traffic control capability simultaneously directs close air tactical support provided by embarked jet aircraft and helicopter gunships.
