The Family of Modular Combat Vessels (FMCV) is a totally unique way of building and fielding naval units, comprised of four main classes; Mercury (Corvette), Hermes (Destroyer), Quicksilver (Cruiser) and Mithril (Dreadnought) Each ‘class’ consists of two parts, a Superstructure and outrigger module and a hull. Within a class hulls and superstructures are fully interchangeable and can be switched easily in calm seas with the support of a suitable fleet support vessel. The Superstructures and hulls come in a variety of roles such as ‘aircraft carrier’, ‘Guided Missile Platform’, ‘Assault ship’ and ‘Gunship’. Both units feature a high level of automation and redundancy to both reduce crew size and increase survivability. The FMCV utilizes welded composite construction for durability, low cost, and reduced build times meaning that your fleet can be built faster and cheaper than previously possible! The battlefield customizability of the MFCV means that with little preparation your navy is ready to face any threat, from the standard fits (Arsenal ship, aircraft carrier, battleship) to oddball new ship designations (heavy gun supported assault ship) Taking advantage of recent advancements in stealth the FMCV features a record low radar cross signature and visual profile. These ships are fully customizable, even outside of the Hull/Superstructure combinations, modular armor system means that your modular combat vessel can have whatever armor scheme you choose up to full modernized battleship armor with ERA! Modular weapons systems means that if you believe your VLS units or naval gun systems are superior or you just want a different balance of size and numbers, you can change any weapon system out easily, eliminating logistics strain from supplying multiple ammo types to front line ships, modular electronics means that your MCV can easily support whatever communications/network you use in the rest of your fleet practically negating compatibility issues!
The FMCV features the ability to be powered by three different powerplants, Smaller ships (Destroyer and smaller) are powered by the Diesel Electric powerplant unless otherwise specified, while Larger vessels come witht he Nuclear powerplant standard unless otherwise specified.
1. Diesel electric Hybrid, using massive diesel turbines in conjunction with several electrical generators, batteries and ultra-capacitors this power supply is fairly inexpensive but requires constant refueling and is not exactly easy to repair.
2. Nuclear power: using the latest in pebble bed reactors this ship may be easily and efficiently powered for long amounts of time, will practically never break down and is easily shielded from producing too much heat and sound that might give your position away.
3. Hydrogen: Using sea water, a cheap proprietary alloy and battery (or solar) power to produce hydrogen and oxygen, this ship is literally swimming in fuel for the massive stacks of Hydrogen fuel cells. Easy to repair and requiring little or no refueling ever in its life this power source is initially expensive but pays off over time.
