Looking for some logistics ships

As an island nation, the only way we can use our military is by our Navy. However, we do not yet have a single logistics or amphibious assault ship. For $680 million, we'd like to buy

- 2 Combat Support vessels capable of carrying large ammounts of ammunition and fuel and able to transfer them at sea
- 2 large amphibious assault vessels with smaller landing craft to use with them

Also, if you have a few surplus long-range submarines, we'd be interested.

Whatever it is, as long as its seaworthy, we'll take it. Hulls last a hundred years, and electronics can be replaced.

OOC: 680 million isn't going to get you very far with the logistics ships or long range submarine(about a billion for a modern one)...but

IC: Nebarri Prime can offer LPD 4 Austin class ships at 375 million a peace and some LCACs with it for 3 million a peace.

OOC: sorry for the spelling

I know it won't get me anywhere, but it's all I have.

What shape is the Austin boat in?

Interesting offer, SkyCapt, but for the moment we've spent all our money. We'll consider the offer next year.

What I'm really interested in is general-purpose transports, because we don't have any and need them if we're going to ship our army anywhere. We don't have any, they're really cheap, and I promise I'll pay you tomorrow or you can bomb me into the ground. ;)

200 million a piece. Same goes as with everything else from Kriegzimmer, if you want to purchase something. Purchase it within that thread. Thanks.
