Following the glorious revolution and the siezure of German miltary assets by the new Boozian government, the admirility begun an extensive project to transform the old Bundesmarine, whos main purpose was mine-sweeping, into an effective bluewater power projection force. In order to do so, we will be accepting any ships, original or acquired, in the following categories:

Light aircraft carrier with VTOL and STOL capability, STOVL woul also be a bonus

Bluwater destroyers, anti-air, anti-ship, anti-submarine, or a combination.

Helicopter carriers, LPDs, and other amphibious assault related vessels

The SHipyards at Wuller and Farthing have the following bids to offer for your Naval requirements:

For a Light Carrier with VTOL, STOL and STOVL capabilities

Corsair-class Light Carrier/Amphibious Assault Platform (CVH)
Dimensions: 265 m length; 41 m width; 9 m draught

The Corsair class carrier incorporates a docking well and moorings for landing craft that allows it to be used for both carrier operation and amphibious assault missions. The carrier’s relatively small flight deck makes it largely impractical for heavy conventional fighters, VTOL and STOL aircraft are recommended.
The Corsair is perfect for smaller nations who just want something that they can afford and use, it is also an excellent choice for Navies trying to get away from the monstrous American style super cariers, Its smaller size makes it less of a target and as a multipurpose platform, it is very cost effective. A good choice for small navies, highly mobile navies, or navies just trying to move away from expensive, maintanence intensive Supercarriers

OOC: Harris is for t3h nubber cakes. It's all about the Austin biznitchezzz

OOC: what is that even supposed to mean?

We suggest you check out Phoenix Dynamix Shipyards (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=376554) for your needs.

We thank you for your offer, but we believe that you may be of a higher or lower tachnology level than we want, owing to your use of battleships.
And Sparta, if you've got nothing to say, don't post.

All of my ships are 2006 technology.
What did you mean by (MT)?
