SUJBECT: Naval modernization

Greetings Mr. Jameson,

The United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia have yet to produce our own domestic unit, but we have dealings with arms corporations that can help your navy modernize.

The United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland, possesses some of the world's finest shipbuilders. Read their directory of products (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=361894), and perhaps you shall find something of use. If you do not like their products, then perhaps you should talk to one of their students in Sarzonia: Portland Iron Works (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=457777). An (early) number of the Sarzonian designs (though not sold anymore) have had inspiration from their friends in the UKIN. Despite the fact they are now more popular and they outsell the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland, they still look upon them as superior and their old friend, as humble as ever.

I hope my nation was of service!

Yours Truly,
His Excellency,
USNSEA Minister of Defense
Paul David Nettleton

Carson and Wolff
1804 Yorke Boulevard
Philadelphia, Oceania, UK

I would like to thank the Samaranian government for providing this opportunity to allow the shipbuilders of the United Kingdom an opportunity to provide their service to defend the Samaranian people.

Carson and Wolff is the United Kingdom’s second largest shipbuilder, and while our specialty remains in civilian and commercial designs we have begun an expansion into the lucrative market of naval warships – albeit for now on the side of smaller displacement vessels. To that end, we have designed a small “light frigate” for the Royal Navy that is used in the role of coastal defence by supplementing smaller and lighter patrol ships as a regional command vessel. However, it is also designed to act in concert with larger surface formations and can be equipped with necessary computer and communication equipment to link its own sensors to a networked system via secure communication links.

This ship, the Type 02 “Axe class” would likely perform a role between those you’ve stated a desire for in the coastal corvette and the ASW/AAW frigate. The Type 02, as the following specifications will indicate, displaces roughly 2,000 tons and is significantly larger than a typical corvette and yet by the same token is relatively light for a fleet frigate – and as such does not come equipped with a high-powered AEGIS-type system. This is done for one reason, primarily that of cost-efficiency. In its imagined role, a system such as AEGIS would substantially increase the cost of what is intended as a low-cost, easily-produced patrol ship.

Nevertheless, we here at Carson and Wolff feel that the Type 02 provides its operator with a ship of significant fire power and presence for the defence of the coast. And at A£600 million the ship provides it at a reasonable cost. Attached are a list of some specifications for the design and I look forward to answering any potential questions you may have about this design.

Lastly, I would like to inquire as to the specific requirements you may be looking for in your various ship types. At Carson and Wolff we do not carry ships for clients “off-the-shelf” so to speak as we believe each client has unique needs that cannot be met by producing “standard” ships. To that end, we welcome the opportunity to presenting a custom-design tailored to the needs of Samaran.

from the abstract

The United Kingdom’s numerous colonies require constant vigilance not to necessarily defend them from foreign aggression per se, but to enforce the United Kingdom’s territorial waters, particularly in areas where maritime boundaries may be in question. The Royal Navy envisions the Type 02, or Axe class, frigate (light) to secure the maritime boundaries, both territorial and economic exclusion, from those countries seeking to encroach on Azazian sovereignty. With the complete geographic isolation of the Home Islands, the Type 02 will likely be deployed to areas where the United Kingdom shares maritime boundaries with foreign powers such as Juristan, the Verdant Archipelago, Jipangunesia, and Sarnia. Taking into consideration the level of development for these various locales the Royal Navy opted for a relatively simple, yet rugged design that can be maintained and operated by those colonies rather ill-equipped for massive naval deployments.

Recognising the need for a sturdy ship, the Axe class does make use of a titanium alloy for hull construction in both physical support and light armour plating. To defend against potential threats from hostile ships the Axe has also been armed with two LiWRAP platforms, lightweight remotely and/or autonomously operated rapid-fire 20mm guns. Should heavier firepower be required by the situation at hand, the Axe also mounts an octuple missile launcher that may be configured to accept either the SA.20.N Tiger short-range air-defence missile or the SS.48.N Midas anti-submarine weapon. For offensive power, the Axe relies upon a rapid fire 76mm gun provided by Royal Ordnance, two quadruple launchers for eight anti-ship missiles and two quadruple 533mm torpedo tubes. Lastly, the Axe maintains the capacity to utilise up to twelve depth charges mounted on aft rails or between 24 and 36 mines, the exact number depending on the variety employed.

For her sensor package, the Type 02 operates a variable depth sonar unit for patrols of deeper maritime shipping channels as well as a medium-range air search and track radar. Although the Type 02 does not use the more powerful, longer range radar systems employed on general purpose frigates of the Royal Navy, the coastal area of operations for the Type 02 will likely include areas already supporting significant air defence networks. Additionally, because of the littoral nature of the frigate (light), the Type 02 does not have the capability to either store or land helicopters. These two design features do, therefore, limit the Axe to coastal waters but also ease the maintenance costs in terms of both personnel and colonial/national budgetary allocations.

While the Royal Navy prefers Pebblebed style reactors for use in most combat vessels, not all the home ports for the Type 02 will be equipped to deal with maintenance issues related to nuclear propulsion systems. Additionally, some colonial governments have sought to restrict the number of nuclear-powered vessels allowed in their ports and harbours and while these attempts are likely to be overturned by Parliament, the use of CODAG engines shall both reduce the complexity of the vessels as well as appeal to the more environmentally-minded colonies in which the Axe class will serve. The Type 02 also makes use of a somewhat advanced degree of automation, which while driving up maintenance costs and so seeming antithetical reduces the number of personnel that the Royal Navy will have to draw upon from the Home Islands and the front line service to man the ships.

Abstract - This is the very first twin-hull design of Baltimore Shipyards, based loosely on the Lockheed Sea Shadow. It uses a SWATH hull, with a flight deck about 50% greater than that of the CVN-68 Nimitz. This gives the carrier large amounts of room on deck for aircraft, radars, and defences. It also features the CLCM-1, a catapult-launched cruise missile, a modification on the naval attack version of the Tomahawk cruise missile.
The air wing included with the Timothy Kaine CVN consists of 48 F-35B JSFs, eight E-2C Hawkeye AWACS aircraft, ten F-14B Recon/Fighter Planes, eight EA-6B EW aircraft, 16 S-3B strike planes, and ten RQ-1E Predator UCAVs.

We hope you find these designs satisfactory. In the event that you wish to have us help build a custom design, we are happy to collaborate with you on such a project.

Sincerely,

Michael Mullen, Chief of R & D of Baltimore Shipyards

AFter reviweing the options that have so far been presented. We have the following questions for the various representatives to see which options will most fit our needs and requirements.

Azazia: Your light frigate intrigues us. We do however have a few questions about the armament and electronics. For one. Although it is not fitted with the AEGIS system. is it possibel to replace the standard electronis system with an aegis or equivalent system in a select number of the ships to serve the Frigate defense ship role? Also. Would it be possible to substitue a Phalanx, GoalKeeper or other CIWS gun system in place of the LiWrap guns? And lastly. Is it possible to accomadate ASW mortars in the aft rails instead of depth charges?

Infoclypse: All of your designs, while impressive, lack the detail we are looking for to be able to determine the suitability of your designs. For instance, Many of your ships claim 'advanced' systems such as radar or SONAR or ECM systems. We would like the precise capabilities of these systems explained. Additionally, your ships are equipped with 'CIWS' and 'Point Defense Missiles' and we are interested in the precise weapons used to fill these roles on board your ships and their capabilities. We would also like to know the capabilities of your Harpoon missile launchers, such as how many tubes and other such information. And finally, we would liek to know more about the propulsion systems used by your ships.

Beltway: Your designs seem to us to be the most qualified so far. We would like just a little bit more information before we make a decision however.
As we plan to purchase new aircraft at a later date and we currently have a limited naval air division which will be used on the carriers until that time, would it be possible to not have the aircraft included with your aircraft carrier designs and if so, what would be the resulting price? Also, n numerous of your ships, UAVs are included. What launch mechanisms are used for these UAVs and could the space that these launchers take up be used to use additional Helicopter assets?

We thank you all for your cooperation and hope that this business comes to a satisfactory end.

To Edward Jamesson, Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Samaran -
The cost of the carriers without their air wings (although still with their helicopters):
CVN-80 - [Base (w/o planes) price] $3,375,000,000.00 US
CV-98 - [Base (w/o planes) price] $1,490,000,000.00 US

As for the UAVs: they are launched via small ski-jump-style assemblies. It is unfortunately not possible to replace them with helicopters; however, we can simply leave out the ski-jumps, reducing the price of any ship with a UAV by $15 million per UAV.

If you are interested in a Dreadnought, we are finishing up the design on one with twenty 20"/72 caliber guns as its main armament; we have an alternate design available mounting twelve 25"/60 caliber guns. If you were to supply us with the plans and export rights for a 30"/60 caliber gun in a three-gun turret, we could supply you with specs for a Dreadnought with nine such guns in three such turrets. Unfortunately, it does not meet your requirement to be able to fit an air wing; however, it can serve as a theater flagship with a Timothy Kaine-class carrier providing the air wing for the squadron.

Thank you for your response, and we hope to win your contract.
Sincerely,
Thad Cochrane, CEO of Baltimore Shipyards
Michael Mullen, Head of R & D at Baltimore Shipyards

In response to your questions, I’ve directed naval architect Anthony Scott to reply as he is most familiar with the technical aspects of the Type 02 construction.

Michael Carson

Carson and Wolff

Attn: Samaranian Procurement Officials

Thank you for considering the Type 02 design for your navy and in these responses I hope to show you that our light frigate will provide top-notch capabilities to your navy.

Firstly with respects to the implementation of an AEGIS system; with the appropriate modifications to the forward superstructure (mainly in strengthening and expanding the integrated mast), we should be able to incorporate an SPY radar system while the main computer core of the ship could be easily linked to the system to provide the automated and integrated search and track system that AEGIS provides.

As for your second question related to the replacement of the LiWRap units with Phalanx, Goalkeeper, or other systems, this too is also possible. The LiWRap gun maintains most of its machinery above deck and for any CIWS system that houses ammunition and machinery below-deck we would need to add to the ship’s internal volume by what would most likely be the simple operation of raising the firing platform a slight degree.

Thirdly, concerning ASW mortars, again that is another simple conversion and would not require either extensive or costly modifications to the design.

I hope my answers are both technically satisfying as well as to your liking. Should you have any more questions about the frigate, please feel free to inquire at any time.

We apologize for our vague statstics in all instances, apparently our PR firm decided that the inclusion of such 'frivolous' details was not necesary to sell our obviously divinely inspred products. The persons responsible have since been deposed.

In answer to your questions then: Our Standard radar is a phased array solid state naval radar array very similiar to the standard SPY radar arrays commonly assosciated with the AEGIS system. However the advanced Radar mentioned is a much more powerful Valume Search array, working on a similiar principle to airborne AESA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AESA) arrays the actual unit is a single dome covered in hundreds of thousands of radar transmitter/reciever chips that actively scan small portions of the total search area. The combination of these small radar beams is a high resolution radar image of the surrounding area, including aircraft and ships. The Advanced radar array is capable of instantaneous volume searches and is naturaly a low probability of interception.

Our Advanced ECM package is a powerful array of radar recievers that actively detects hostile radar emissions and analyzes them quickly. Once a signal has been analyzed, the system works with the standard ECM packages transmitters to deliver a jamming signal tailored to the targetted radar. The Advanced package is then capable of scannign other frequency ranges to ensure that the jamming cannot be defeated by frequency jumping radar arrays

Our Standard Sonar array is a farily powerful AN/BQS type SOnar capable of active and passive detection modes, Active mode includes the capability of high frequency mine detecting/under ice pings or very low frequency pings to defeat decoys and other countermeasures.

Our CIWS system is an electornically fired Metal Storm type multi-barrel weapon capable of extremely high rates of fire. Our CIWS fires a 25mm fragmenting round designed to detonate in such a way that the fragements pierce the vulnerable sides of modern anti ship missiles that are often protected from conventional contact CIWS systems. Our CIWS features a penetration mode of fire for use against aircraft in which the round detonates after penetrating the aircraft to cause maximum damage.
Our Point Defense Missile is a powerful, highly maneuverable weapon. stabilized by a set of spin inducing vectored thrust vents that also serve as interim control surfaces, the missile features a state of the art guidance system capable of burning through all but the most powerful countermeasures and a warhead capable of destroying even hard targets like ICBMs.

Both of our Point Defense Systems are self contained units with enough internal ammunition to last for multiple encounters. Both systems also include internal sensors to ensure maximum redundancy in a wartime situation

Our Propulsion system is a fairly unique one to large warships. The powerplant (Nuclear in larger ships, Diesel/Electric in Destroyers, Frigates and smaller vessels) drives shafts much like conventional shraft driven Vessels. However instead of proppellers at the rear of the hull, the shafts are connected to a series of impellers placed at various points along the hull. the impellers feature vectoring nozzles for unmatched control and their configuartion is designed to rpovide the maximum thrust/mass ratio.

We hope that we've satisfactorially answered all of your concerns and that youw ill seriously consider our proposals.

Isselmere: Your designs are quite interesting and exceptional in detail and quality. However, our Apprpriations personell questiont he stand-alone capailities of your Destroyer class vessels and the capabilities of your Frigate class ships radar systems.

Infoclypse: Thank you for the details

Azazia: Many thanks for clarifiyng those points, your Frigate is a strong contender for purchase.

Beltway: Your proces for 'empty' aircraft carriers are are quite acceptable, however, we have concerns about your frigates Radar Capabilities and woudl like those clarified if possible.

To All Nations applying for this contract:

After reviewing the initial offers, we have come to the conclusion that purchasing individual classes seperately from each nation may be necesary to provide the greatest capabilities to our Navy. However this would present considerable logistic strain on our Navy whichmust be avoided. We therefor wish to enquire as to the ease of maintenance, use of standard and OTS parts as well as the availability of proprietar parts to ensure tat if we purchase from competing nations, our logistics will be placed under no unreasonable strain.

We have not submitted any frigates to this competition.

Our ships use almost exclusively USN equipment.

Attempting to corrupt the Process: Check this out Corrupting an Officer of a Foreign Government (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=10421954)

EDIT: Beltway, your FS-17 look suspisciously Frigate like...

bump

The FS-17 is based on a frigate; however, it is a (large) corvette. It's more of a difference in terminology; further, it's not really qualified to serve as a frigate, but, due to its low draft, it can serve as a corvette.

I see, my mistake.

well, check out Info's thread on corruption, he's got an interesting idea I think. it might turn out pretty cool.

bump

OOC: I sorta meant the 'corruption' thread so that the other competitors could try some palm greasing as well, not just me...

OOC - Baltimore Shipyards, which has often been accused of corruption here in The Beltway (the allegations are false, although they look bad), can't afford to risk an international incident. Thus, no corrupt dealings here.

OOC: Sam, you don't like Issel's ships?

OOC: I like them okay, its just that this particular RP has taken a new and interesting turn (Check Info's post above for the corruption thread)

OOC: I see. Oh, and about the your Joint Chief Staff Chairman's response, hey, I was only ICly and OOCly trying to be nice.

This is based on improvements on the current underwater military glider launched by the navy. It is basically a remote control torpedo which collects data on ships. It has passive sonar, radar and a visual camera recorder. These cost about 100,000 to build.
Our improved version includes bubble distortion generation for anti-sonar, stealth coating for anti-radar, and short distance fast burn underwater jet. There is an explosive warhead in the front. With improvements it will cost you $400,000. A cheap long range ship killer. This is a link to a neat picture of an earlier model.

Remote Anti-Ship Drone Torpedo, also Anti- Submarine
Weight: 250 KGs armed, 150 KG unarmed
Length: 12 Feet
Warhead: High Explosive-- C16 can be fitted with nuclear tip but we do not supply nuclear warheads.
Sensors: Radar, Sonar, Visual Feed
Remote Operator: If they are only collecting data, they can run for thousands of kilometers. If they are being remotely controlled for anti-ship and submarine warfare it can be done via satellite transponder so the range can be extreme.
Protection: Stealth Coating, Bubble jets for anti-sonar, mostly runs on battery operated glider engine, short distance single use fast burn water jet engine.
Speed: Cruising 4 KPH/70 Knots Activated.
Cost: $400,000

Your design is very intriguing Commonalitarianism, we would like to know whether it is compatible with the vessels that are being offered or if a modified version can be made available that is. We are also interested in the possibilty of a shorter ranged, wire guided version that would not be vulnerable to sattelite jamming or spoofing.

There are several different designs for UAVs. Some can be launched from a torpedo tube. It would be easy to build one that would fit in a standard torpedo tube. I am not sure any are wire guided because of their primary reconnaisance mission. They are mostly being used for reconnaisance "spying" some of them are used for demining operations. Locate the mine for the mine sweeper so it can be gotten easier type thing. There are a variety of them. One huge one called the "Seahorse" looked like it would be the size of an antiship missile. Here is a nice article. I am developing them so I won't have to spend tons of money on giant killer ships or subs. I think that you can also control them from subs or ships if you want.
My "submarine carrier" has an undisclosed number aboard.

OOC: Sry I haven't been on much, there was a minor emergency...

IC:

Commonalitarianism: We find your design to be a highly innovative and powerful design for counter-ship operations and we want to know whether production rights are available (For native use only) and how much they would cost.

Dear Sir,

Here is a list of uncrewed underwater vehicles currently available from Lyme and Martens Industries of Detmere, United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland. Should you find any of these vehicles interesting, please contact us at the address below.


Submersible Drones

Cuttlefish DSR.1 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)

The DSR.1 (drone, submersible, reconnaissance) Cuttlefish is a small submersible drone capable of being air-dropped or launched from lightweight torpedo tubes from a surface ship. It is powered by high-efficiency fuel cells driving a high-power electric motor. With its clean hydrodynamic shape and quiet propulsion, the DSR.1 is extremely silent

If fired from small submersibles such as the "Seahorse" DSA.1, the "Cuttlefish" may either be controlled by an operator via fibre-optic microcable (FOMC) or operate autonomously using its Lyme & Martens patented "Kingfisher" automatic target recognition system (ATR) in conjunction with its long-range wide-focus active/passive sonar developed for the GWS.63 Barracuda to collect information on enemy fleet movements.

As a remote sonar probe to deliver real time intelligence to the parent submarine, the "Cuttlefish" trails a length of fibre-optic microcable (FOMC; up to 25 km contained within the "Cuttlefish") to transmit the drone's sonar data to the parent submarine for processing. The "Cuttlefish" can be sent out to autonomously map sensitive areas or to gather other intelligence such as enemy fleet dispositions. The DSR.1 is guided by its advanced inertial navigation systems and its short-range collision avoidance sonar.

Characteristics
Functions: sonar probe
Dimensions: diameter: 324mm; length: 2.86m
Mass: 315 kg
Propulsion: one axial propulsor; Baillard Electrotechnique PEM fuel cell modules connected via a Semling Electrics generator-battery system to a Felsingburgh Turboelectrics electric motor.

Seahorse DSA.1 uncrewed attack submersible (http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/dagger/images/dagger2.jpg)

This new submersible drone contains all the best features of Lyme and Martens earlier submersibles as well as the Royal Shipyards own vast experience with submarine construction. The "Seahorse" can use its various sensors to map shorelines before amphibious assaults, provide data regarding enemy fleet movement, as well as engage enemy shipping with the two lightweight torpedoes it can carry.

The central spine contains the various masts the "Seahorse" requires for surface survival and surveillance: schnorkel, signals receivers and transmitters, multifunction radar, and optronic periscope. The "Seahorse" may be programmed either to operate within a specific grid area using its inertial navigation system to maintain station, or on an autonomous attack mission based on information fed into the "Seahorse" before launching. The "Seahorse's" acoustic processors may be updated before launch with up-to-date acoustic signatures to provide the drone with (a) specific target(s).

All in all, the "Seahorse" will provide your navy with the answers it needs to counter today's massive fleets.

Characteristics:
Electronics: MF/LF dual mode sonar, towed passive array, signals receiver/classifier, multimode radar, GPS buoy, amongst others.
Dimensions: length: 8.5 m; diameter: 1.06 m x 1 m
Displacement: 24t (unloaded)

Squid DSM.1 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) (http://www.ise.bc.ca/images/explorer.gif)

The DSM.1 (drone, submersible, multipurpose) Squid is the RINN's standard submersible drone. The "Squid" may be launched either from its parent submarine's drone housing (RSIN vessels purchased with the "Squid" have these housings) or may swim out of a standard RINN (585mm) or larger torpedo tube. It is powered by high-efficiency fuel cells driving a high-power electric motor. With its clean hydrodynamic shape and quiet propulsion, the DSM.1 is very silent when it needs to be. The "Squid" is a modular design that can be configured to complete several missions. In its most common configuration, it has a module containing three noisemaker/torpedoes (NT module or NTM) that may be used to defend the submarine from enemy attack or may be guided by the DSM.1 to perform a limited assault. The explosive NTs travel at about 6 knots and are equipped with a small sonar seeker head. Alternatively, the "Squid" may carry a 20mm cannon firing supercavitating rounds (SCRs; up to fifteen carried). Generally the "Squid" travels at between 3-5 knots, although the DSM.1 can shoot off at a short-range burst speed of 20-25 knots when threatened, clouding its wake with NTs.

The "Squid" serves as a marine mine detector/neutraliser and as a short range sonar probe. In the former mission, the "Squid" may either be controlled by an operator via fibre-optic microcable (FOMC) or operate autonomously using its Lyme & Martens patented "Kingfisher" automatic target recognition system (ATR) in conjunction with its short-range pinpoint active sonar to locate mines. When the "Squid" detects a mine, it may attach an explosive device using one of its three explosive NTs to neutralise the mine. The DSM.1 may guide the NT to the mine by FOMC or via the AUV's acoustic-acoustic modem. Alternatively, the DSM.1 may use SCRs to detonate the mine. (Needless to say, exploding a mine would reveal the presence of the submarine.)

As a remote sonar probe to deliver real time intelligence to the parent submarine, the "Squid" trails a length of fibre-optic microcable (FOMC; up to 5 km contained within the "Squid") to transmit the drone's sonar data to the parent submarine for processing. If some rapidity is required (up to 25 knots on a straight course) or if the "Squid" is to remain on station for an extended period of time, a thicker power umbilical, which also serves as a towed array, to the parent submarine can be used so as to not drain the "Squid's" fuel cells and battery. The umbilical also serves as a towed array. (Umbilical option only available on RSIN built ships with drone davits.) Alternatively, the "Squid" can be sent out to autonomously map sensitive areas or to gather other intelligence such as enemy fleet dispositions. The DSM.1 is guided by its advanced inertial navigation systems and its short-range collision avoidance sonar.

An autonomous "Squid" may communicate with its parent submarine via an acoustic-acoustic modem. This communication system also allows the DSM.1 to return to its housing for debriefing. At great distances, however, the "Squid" may home into a particular sound signature emitted from the parent submarine. This sound signature beacon uses slightly modified calls of resident sea creatures, which may be updated in the field to fit circumstances, allowing the parent submarine and the DSM.1 to remain undetected.
