Blood Moon Goblins

(OOC:
As usual, this is taking place before Krarks assassination, as will all my posts until Kraven Corp gets back
Anyway, BMG genrealy doesnt bother with actually equipping its army, since most Goblins come with their own weapons. This cuts supply costs somewhat, seeing as we generaly only provide ammo and such. There are other costs, tanks, helicopters and all that, but this does give us a bit of money to put into the navy, which is sort of the 'elite forces', where all the good little Goblins go.)
IC:
In response to a somewhat 'hot' world climate and increased tensions with a number of nations Blood Moon Goblins has begun construction of the Lurker class nuclear attack submarine, designed to outcompete the Seawolf and most other submarine classess avalible to other nations.
Design:
Displacement: 7,800 tons
Length: 273 feet
Beam: 30 feet
Draft: 32 feet
Propulsion: G9 reactor
Speed: 25 knots surfaced, 32 knots submerged
Armament: 6 21in tubes, 3 12in tubes, 6 VLS tubes, OR 3 21in tubes, 1 12in tube, 10 VLS tubes.
Crew: 143 officers and men
The subs main purpose is to hunt other subs, namely nuclear missile subs, but can also perform air-interdiction missions when fitted out with verticle launch tubes for a variety of AA missions, or with Sea to Shore missiles for ground-attacks.
The ship mounts two types of torpedo tubes, a relativly standard 21in (diameter) torpedo tube which fires a modified Mk-48 torpedo for use against lightly armoured, faster moving targets, and a smaller 12in tube which fires a 'special' supercavitating torpedo capable of traveling at several hundred knots. Details later on.
The sub uses a fairly normal nuclear reactor, with which it can reach speeds of (at most) 30knts (submerged) and 25knts (surfaced) in ideal conditions.
The ship is about 270 feet in length, 30 feet wide and a draft of 32 feet.
The standard version mounts six forward tubes (Four 'standard' Mk-48 tubes, two of the supercavitating kind), and three rear (Two normal, one supercavitating).
Weapon Systems:
Primary Function: Heavyweight torpedo for submarines
Contractor: Flarg Industries
Power Plant: Piston engine; pump jet
Length: 19 ft
Weight: 3,434 lb
Diameter: 21 in
Range: Greater than 5 mi
Depth: Greater than 1,200 ft)
Speed: Greater than 28knts
Guidance System: Wire guided and passive/active acoustic homing
Warhead: 650 lb high explosive
Primary Function: Anti-Ship Torpedo
Contractor: Flarg Industries
Power Plant: [SECRET]
Length: 15ft
Weight: 2,563lbs
Diameter: 12in
Range: [SECRET] (OOC: About 6mi)
Depth: [SECRET] (OOC: About 1000ft)
Speed: 250mph
Guidance System: [SECRET]
Warhead: 20lb HE warhead (relies on kinetic energy from impact)
(OOC: For info on Supercavitation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercavitation)
The first model is planned to be finished in roughly 2 years, provided nothing occures in that space.
