[OOC: A little RP, even just "My navy would like..." is preferred. Also, one RL day = one NS year for the purposes of this storefront.]
This storefront is also available at the International Mall (http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php?showforum=91)
Please note: Over the next few weeks, it may take some time for orders to be officially processed. Accepted orders will be in process as of one NationStates hour (however you judge it) from receiving the message. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please read the small print.
—Norman J. Hogan (LL.B., KC, Esq.), Legal Services Division, RSIN
Welcome to the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland (RSIN). The RSIN is a Crown corporation comprising all public as well as partnered private shipyards within the UKIN and abroad. We build a wide range of vessels, from nuclear battleships and fleet carriers to coastal patrol vessels. Please feel free to advance submissions suited to your needs. Payment is due either upon confirmation or over the duration of the contract. We also consider alternative payment schedules.
We are continually building newer vessels to suit the needs of both the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy and our export customers. Our ships possess many safety features including distributed fire mains, extensive use of fire resistant materials, lightweight ceramic and ballistic nylon protection for magazines and machinery, separated engine compartments, and redundant fibre-optic wiring trunks and computer complexes. Surface combatants within the RSIN catalogue have been equipped with the superlative NAIADS (Naval Autonomous and Integrated Air Defence System) offering improved performance over existing AEGIS and PAAMS equipped warships by allowing individual vessels or an entire fleet to maximise its defensive capability by selecting the best measures for the job. Also, all RSIN-built ships feature strengthened bows and keels to cope with the threat of North Atlantic ice-floes.

Copyrights
—What's all this, then?
All vessels, vehicles, systems, and other devices not manufactured by a RL or NS producer are assumed to have been registered and patented in the UKIN by the RSIN and/or its associated domestic suppliers and fall under international legislation governing intellectual property. Do not copy statistics here and post them as your own. There are plenty of decent web sites out there providing RL examples of ships, in particular Naval Technology (http://www.naval-technology.com). Production, reverse engineering, sale, and/or lease of the aforementioned vessels, vehicles, systems, and other devices without express permission as granted by a legally binding licence agreement between the licensee and the licensor (the RSIN) is an infringement of international law that shall be met with appropriate legal or other measures.
Notes on Procurement (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11023183&postcount=3)
—What you need to know to get what you want.
All prices listed in Universal Standard dollars (USD). A nation's purchasing power is presumed to be 4% of its national budget (i.e., a defence budget of 12% divided by 3) as verified by Pipian (http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php), the Thrace-Tailteann (http://members.fortunecity.com/thracetailteann/html/gnp.html), or the NS Economy (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=) economic calculators. If your nation spends more on defence (as indicated on your nation's homepage (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/90521/page=display_nation) or one of the calculators), or if your nation uses another economic calculator (if so, please provide a link), please state as much. Please do not order more than you can afford, unless we agree to spread out your payments over several NS years in accordance with a previously arranged payment schedule. Background checks will be made. Please do not order more than presented production levels unless you are willing to wait until the order is completed. This request goes for packages as well.

Notes on Defence Procurement in NS
To establish your military budget, you could use one of the calculators listed on the entry post of the first page of this topic. Both the Pipian (http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?) and Thrace-Tailteann (http://members.fortunecity.com/thracetailteann/html/gnp.html) calculators allow you to define how much your nation spends on defence, but NS Economy (http://www.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=) is very informative. This budget will be divided between your armed forces (in general, army, navy (includes marines), air force, and, where available, space force). This budget also includes the cost of maintaining both the personnel and equipment (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7151428&postcount=13) and may not, ought not to be used to its full extent for purchases, though everyone does, so don't worry about that.
Now, once you have established your defence budget and have apportioned what quantity of that budget goes to which branch of your armed forces, then you make your purchases. Check out how much you can buy, do the math (people get really irritated and refuse orders unless you do your own math), and buy away. This way you cannot really be accused of "god-modding"/"god-moding" (I am still uncertain of how to spell that term).
Do not, for whomever's sake, forget about the costs of provisioning and equipping your units. Carriers need escorts (for instance, see my carrier battle groups and carrier strike groups). Carriers are ridiculously expensive even before adding on the cost of the aircraft, the weapons for the aircraft, fuel for the aircraft and the ship (this includes nuclear ships, but only about every twelve years [still outrageously expensive]), then do the same for the escorts. Yes, it is that painful. Trust me.
Now, with regards to what I sell: I sell ships, autonomous vehicles, the occasional missile, and, very rarely, aircraft, and only specific types of aircraft at that. For land and air systems you can check many places. Clan Smoke Jaguar generally has the most realistic prices and formations (battalion size and up), but there are many others. United Elias is good for aircraft and weapons as well. Like much in life, it doesn't hurt to window shop: you'll eventually develop a good military that'll whoop someone real horrorshow, to quote "A Clockwork Orange."
Remember, spending 15% of your national budget on defence is a big deal (the US spends 16.29% of its budget on defence), and the Soviets spent up to 17% of their GNP on defence before their collapse. If you want to increase your defence budget, you had best improve your economic situation. To do that, dismiss a fair number of issues. It works wonders. Don't exactly know why.

Becoming a Partner or Colleague
N.B. - At present, due to an absence of foreign sales, there exists a moratorium on new partnerships and/or satellite yards, except where such involves an extension of an existing agreement. After all, this is a business, not a charity.
There are several advantages to opening your nation's doors to either a partnership with or a satellite yard of the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland (RSIN). As a partner, your yards -- and the RSIN, of course! -- gain from the different skill sets and experience of the other so that both the RSIN and your yards manufacture the best possible vessels. As a colleague with a satellite yard, your nation will be able to reduce unemployment and inject funds for investment to further develop or enhance your nation's infrastructure and industry. Both the partnership and the satellite yard system allow your navy to produce RSIN-designed vessels for reduced costs, and production rights for certain types of RSIN products will be granted to your yards for the duration of the agreement with the RSIN.
Initial Benefits
There are many benefits, including the reduced costs of production, to having a partnership with or a satellite yard of the RSIN. First, your yard will receive the production rights to most, if not all, logistics vessels produced by the RSIN as well as production rights for the RSIN's famous River-class corvette.* As the friendship between our nations grows, the requirement to refer the sale of larger ships to UKIN's Parliamentary Foreign Arms Sales Commission (PFASC) is gradually removed and the production rights to those larger vessels may be granted.*
(* All the potential grants of production rights and requirement to file orders before the PFASC are subject to its approval.)
Costs of Production and Fees
The RSIN will receive a fee based on the sum for all orders placed at the partnered yard for every RSIN-designed vessel manufactured at said yard, based on the following formula:
(Standard cost of production) × (Favoured nation status) = Unit Cost of Production
((Partner nation per capita GDP) / (Isselmere-Nieland per capita GDP) + (Partner nation exchange rate) / (Isselmere-Nieland exchange rate)) / 2 = Labour Cost Variable
(Unit Cost of Production) × (Percentage of Restricted Items*) = Cost of Restricted Items
(* For most surface combatants, this percentage is generally 60%, amphibious assault vessels 55%, auxiliary vessels (excluding minesweepers) 40%, submarines and mine sweepers 80%. Capital ships generally get charged at the going Unit Cost of Production.)
((Unit Cost of Production) – (Cost of Restricted Items)) × (Labour Cost Variable) = Local Cost of Production
Such that:
((Cost of Restricted Items) + (Local Cost of Production)) = Total Cost of Production*
(* The aforementioned “Total Cost of Production” is dependent on currency exchange rate fluctuations but will not exceed the “Unit Cost of Production.”)
∑ (Total Cost of Production) – (Annual Lease) = Annual Residuals*
(* Both parties must seek an arrangement for what to do should the "Annual Residuals" fall into the red. Either the "Annual Lease" will be on a sliding scale such that should sum awarded in contracts fall below the lease, that difference shall be forgiven, or that the partnership, including all production rights, will lapse.)

Engines
The designation system for powerplants is as follows. First is the environment indicator, typically M for surface ships and U for submarines. Next comes the engine type: E for reciprocating engines, M for a motor, typically attached to an electrical generator, and T for a turbine. Last is the fuel indicator. D is for diesel, G is for gas (typically aviation fuel), M for multifuel, N for natural gas, and P for petrol.
Nuclear reactors use a slightly different classification scheme to identify the complete reactor package. In common (but not official) practice, the environment indicator is ignored, while the engine type and fuel indicator are listed together as RA for Reactor, Atomic, followed by type, such as (PB) for pebble-bed and (PW) for pressurised water.
After the fuel indicator comes the model number and, if necessary, subtype.
Diesel or multifuel engines and motors

Union-class trimaran CVBN
Named for the union of the two kingdoms of Isselmere and Nieland, the Union-class will serve to reduce the number of vessels operated by the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy without incapacitating any of its warfighting capability.
Design
The Union-class has been in development for several years now, the lengthy design stage being necessary to minimise the safety issues that arise from the operation of multiple landing surfaces upon a single vessel.
All eight of the Union-class's aircraft lifts are well-clear of the landing areas, as are the six armoured ammunition lifts. The deck-edge lifts are located aft and the inboard lifts are located fore, aft of the forward flight deck.
Flight operations
The automated carrier landing system (ACLS) allows the Union-class to land conventional landing (CTOL) aircraft in rapid succession on its three landing areas. The two standard-length landing areas do not intersect one another. The broader extended length landing area, angled at 8.5 degrees to port, partially intersects the standard-length landing area angled to starboard.
Two electromagnetic aircraft catapults (electromagnetic aircraft launching system; EMALS) are positioned on each secondary hull sponson, with four EMALS, including two heavy systems, located on the forward flight deck.
The Union-class is equipped with two small islands -- one on each secondary hull -- for antennae and flight control observation that have been designed to minimise both the returned signature from electromagnetic devices (radar, infra-red) as well as the air turbulence caused by such structures.
Ship's operation
In most instances, the Union-class is controlled from the command centre (CIC) using optronic information from eight remote piloting stations (RPS) and other sensor data "piped" down through EMP-hardened links to the "bridge", offering the ship's crew an all-encompassing, panoramic view of possible hazards. This network of systems permits the Union-class to be berthed from the CIC, although more traditional methods are generally used.
Armour
The Union-class has been provided with the heavy armour of its predecessors, enabling the massive vessel to contend with many anti-ship missiles as well as smaller battleships and cruisers should the need arise. The main strength deck, however, has been lowered to the hangar deck, owing to experiences with the Peel-class carriers. Though the decks had protected the carriers from harm, the damage required extensive repairs due to the transference of impact throughout the structure, more so than would have been required had the shipyard been able to simply replace the affected section. Future RSIN aircraft carrier designs will likely incorporate the same design philosophy as that implemented on the Union.
The armour scheme is a lighter version of that used on the Europa- and Jimnam-classes. The structural basis for the ship is of titanium-vanadium-aluminium (TVA) alloy to cope with the stresses large trimaran vessels must contend. The framework is supported by bulkheads reinforced by hardened crossbeams. The outer shell of the vessel is covered in insulating, fouling-preventative laminated ceramic tiles, upon which is laid an additional environmentally-friendly synthetic rubber anti-fouling surface. Behind these initial layers of protection are tubes of very high hardness steel (VHS) within kinetic energy resistant insulation (KERI) foam that are intended to attenuate the blast effects of any projectiles able to penetrate the first armour layers. Braces of TVA ('spacers') between the outer and inner hull provide an additional layer of defence. The next layer of high strength steel is buttressed by further crossbeams in case of outer hull failure, as are the longitudinal and transverse bulkheads, followed by an additional void space filled with KERI foam before the secondary hull of high hardness steel (HHS). Another layer of KERI foam serves to provide some anti-spalling protection along with a sandwich of ballistic polymer fabrics and a honeycomb of high strength composite.
The Union-class's torpedo bulkheads are at twenty-to-thirty degree angles from the vertical, while the keel is provided with another layer of TVA armour to counter under-keel torpedo attacks.

Hmmm... where to begin? After celebrating our peaceful gaining of independence from Czardas aboard one of our aircraft carriers, which proceeded to sink due to the unaccustomed weight -- fortunately, no-one was killed -- and during a minor skirmish on patrol when our largest battleship was sunk easily by a small enemy frigate, we began to realise that our navy might be a bit outdated. This became especially obvious when we noticed that most other nations had long since eschewed wood covered with plates of iron as their primary building material.
So therefore, we're here to purchase a navy. With the new allocation of funds towards the Navy's department of procurement, we have decided to turn towards the UKIN's esteemed shipyards in order to ... well, procure, that's what we're here for, isn't it? ... some more modern ships.
Therefore, we would like to place an order for the following:
Union Class CVBN x16 [$1,024,000 million]
Royal Holly Class CVN x32 [$251,200 million]
Hornby Class CVLN x60 [$120,000 million]
Kingdom Class BBAN x20 [$1,760,000 million]
Treaty Class BBGN x50 [$937,500 million]
Princess Class CBGN x80 [$384,000 million]
Castle Class CAGN x100 [$230,000 million]
Morrigan Class CGN x300 [$480,000 million]
County Class DDG x224 [$224,000 million]
City Class DDG x224 [$224,000 million]
Bullfinch Class FFH x500 [$285,000 million]
Flower Class K x540 [$199,800 million]
Forthar Class SSN (w/drones) x480 [$799,680 million]
Tichy Class SSN x360 [$671,472 million]
Chamberlain Class SSGN x200 [$1,224,000 million]
Pechtas Class SSGN (w/drones) x200 [$433,200 million]
Haenulf Class SSK (w/drones) x480 [$205,440 million]
Marquess Class LHCN x60 [?]
Lord Class LHD x240 [$240,000 million]
Ungforth Class LPD x300 [$180,000 million]
Crocodile Class LCS x150 [$18,750 million]
Salamander Class RHIB x1000 [$275 million]
Admiral Class CCN x40 [$120,000 million]
Siren Class AGI x210 [$78,750 million]
Lake Class MCDV (mine clearance) x240 [$25,200 million]
Lem Class AFS x240 [$192,000 million]
Smith Class AOE x216 [$129,600 million]
Aylesburgh Class AS x100 [$40,000 million]
Hobbes Class AH x96 [$251,520 million]
Gabin Class AKR x120 [$84,000 million]
Gull Class ATF x160 [$5,600 million]
We have calculated the total to be in the neighbourhood of $10,818,897 million NSD; excluding the Marquess class for which no price was provided. We are also interested in the Europa Class Battleship, but we were unsure as to whether we are allowed to purchase any such vessels; if so, add six such vessels to our list for an additional cost of $2,250,000 million.
We realise that this is a rather significant purchase, and truth be told, we don't exactly have the money to pay for it right now. Therefore, we'd like to pay it off in three installments of approximately $3-4 trillion NSD; over three years. If such a payment plan is acceptable, let us know.
Cordially,

The Ministry of Defense wishes to purchase four Haenulf-class patrol submarines, two Nowotny-class attack submarines and two Pechtas-class cruise missile submarines (all with drones). The MoD will release $10.956 billion (USD) to pay for this acquisition once our order has been approved.
The Royal Navy intends to use these submarines as aggressors in advanced naval combat training. If Naval Command finds that these units satisfactorily meet its expectations, the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland will be considered for status as the primary supplier of aggressor units for the Royal Navy.

From: Neville Colwan, Director-General, Royal Shipyards, UKIN
Subject: Re: Aggressor submarines
Dear Lt. Adm. Humphrey,
The Royal Shipyards is grateful to receive communication from the glorious navy of the Hamptonian Empire. It is a sincere pleasure to be considered for such a lucrative contract by our fellow Pact member. I must, however, regretfully state that the Royal Shipyards and the Parliamentary Foreign Arms Sales Commission has concerns regarding the Hamptonian Empire's interest in those designs at this particular moment in time, especially with regard to the deteriorating relations between Ottoman Khaif (KLM) and the United Kingdom of Oceania (UKO), as the Royal Shipyards presently has a satellite yard within the KLM and GAURHE is a staunch ally of the UKO. His Majesty's Government has no desire to provide the UKO with any advantage over the KLM that might arise from possible knowledge of the Royal Shipyards' designs -- not that HM Government believes the GAURHE government would behave in such a fashion -- that might accelerate the drive towards armed conflict between the UKO and the KLM. Consequently, I must decline your order at this time. Should the situation between the KLM and the UKO resolve itself in a fortuitous manner, the Royal Shipyards may be willing to reconsider your order. I apologise for any inconvenience this refusal may cause your navy.
Sincerely yours,

Subject: Re: Order denial
Dear Mr Neville Colwan,
The Hamptonian government appreciates the situation that the Royal Shipyards and the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland finds themselves in regard to the current state of world affairs. Our government and people have always held the United Kingdom in the highest regard even when we have had a difference of opinion.
The timing of this order with the current rise in tensions between Ottoman Khaif and the United Kingdom of Oceania is purely coincidental. The Office of Naval Procurement, Office of the Defense Minister and the Office of the Finance Minister have been deliberating our proposed order for months. If His Majesty's Government requests, we shall deliver to the Parliamentary Foreign Arms Sales Commission the transcripts of all relevant meetings.
It is the hope and belief of our government that the current tensions between Ottoman Khaif and the United Kingdom of Oceania will repair themselves with time. In that spirit we would like to propose a compromise to you: We will pay you now for the ordered vessels and you will begin their construction as requested. We would not take possession of order until such as a time as the Parliamentary Foreign Arms Sales Commission deems it proper to do so. If the Commission decides the ordered vessels are to never be delivered, the Royal Navy will, without protest, hand them over to the UKIN Royal Navy.
I sincerely doubt the current level of hostilities will continue for the next three to five years. While our order may have coincided with a rise in hostilities, it is extremely hard to believe that the same tensions that exist now will still be a factor when the units are ready for delivery.

Official Communique from the Democratic Republic of LA Ice
TO: Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland, Isselmere
FROM: Combatech Military Industries, a subsidiary of the Confederation of Exporting Industries of LA Ice (CEILI)
SUBJECT: Partnership
----------------------------------------------------
The CEILI would be very interested in creating a partnership between our subsidiary, Combatech Military Industries, and the RSIN.
We assume from what we have read that a "partnership" is when CMI and RSIN share the production availability of their products between eachother, and that becoming a "satellite yard" means to be a secondary retailer of RSIN products.
Please respond soon with more information.
OOC: Was recommended here by Southeastasia. Having read your partnership information, I'm not sure what you mean by "standard cost of production". Is this simply the standard unit cost?
Isselmere
26-06-2006, 21:11
OOC: A partnership agreement means an agreement to domestically produce RSIN vessels at an approved domestically-owned shipyard (i.e. a partnered shipyard) or at a satellite shipyard (i.e. one owned by the RSIN). Neither a partnered shipyard nor a satellite shipyard may sell RSIN products either to the nation in which said shipyard is located (excepting certain auxiliary vessels and small combat ships as specified within the agreement) or any equipment, system, or part(s) thereof to a third party (another country, organisation, etc.) without express prior permission of the RSIN. The RSIN has no secondary retailers, and any firm, country, etc., attempting to sell such equipment will be considered to have forsaken the agreement and any attempt by aforesaid nation to RP with RSIN or associated equipment will be ignored.
OOC: Thanks for explaining.

24 Admiral-class CCN ($3,200 million USD per ship)
48 Siren-class AGI ($375 million USD per ship)
48 Sea Lion-class PGC ($273 million USD per ship)
24 Union-class CVBN ($64,000 million USD per ship)
24 Europa-class BBCN ($375,000 million USD per ship)
48 Princess-class CBGN ($4,800 million USD per ship)
48 Wallace-class DDG (GP) ($1,130 million USD per ship)
12 Aylesburgh-class AS ($400 million USD per ship)
12 General Marsden-class AP ($400 million USD per ship)
12 Lord-class LHD ($1,000 million USD per ship)
12 Ungforth-class LPD ($600 million USD per ship)
12 Valley-class LSD ($425 million USD per ship)

12 Charter-class BBGN ($9,000 million USD per ship)
12 Walmsley-class CVL ($1,400 million USD per ship)
The cost for these items will total $13,615,341,000,000 trillion without my nations "favoured nation discount" of 6.5%. After the discount the total price of the order will be $12,730,343,835,000 trillion. The money shall be wired upon confirmation of this message. You will be of course hearing from us again. Thank you.

Encrypted Communique
TO: Neville Colwan, Director-General, Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland Corporation, UKIN
FROM: Admiral Daniel Chan, Admiral of the Southeast Asian Navy, USNSEA
SUBJECT: LCS purchase
Dear Sir,
The Portland Iron Works of the Incorporated States of Sarzonia is the Southeast Asian Navy's primary naval contractor, however, the aforementioned corporation also has filled out other contracts for other branches of my nation's military like the AC-35 "Styx" turbofan-powered gunship for the Southeast Asian Air Force.
However, the reason why Defense Minister Paul David Nettleton insisted to the rest of the Executive Cabinet of Southeast Asia and the now-President Marcellus Q. Valens of the Democratic Soviet Republic of Kahanistan to have a satellite yard within Kahanistan instead of the Portland Iron Works, is because of the reputation of Portland Iron Works - it has overtaken the RSIN Corporation in terms of sales and fame, and the RSIN Corporation supplying the Democratic Soviet Republic's naval force instead would be less known, giving Kahanistan somewhat of an advantage in intelligence when fighting other foes on the seven seas. That, and the Portland Iron Works generally prefer not to establish subsidiary firms in other lands. And because of the Sarzonian government-type, which is arguably a de-jure dictatorship, it would be more politically compatable for Kahanistan to have an RSIN-affiliated yard rather than a PIW-affiliated yard in Al-Bahr because of that and the fact that Sarzonia was entrenched in economic turmoil, it would have been better for Kahanistan to have your glorious shipbuilding company instead.
Also, the reason why I am contacting you is because the Portland Iron Works doesn't neccessarily have what products to supply our navy. The Crocodile-class Littoral Combat Ship has interested my nation as we lack one in such a role. It seems to fit as such - however, we have only seen it on-paper.
As such, on the behalf of my nation, the Southeast Asian Federal Parliament has approved of such an order for five units of the Crocodile-class Littoral Combat Ship. Should the combat trials of the Crocodile-class LCS proved most fruitful, I shall return for a more substantial purchase. The order cost of 625,000,000 Universal Standard Dollars (USD) shall be wired upon the confirmation of the order.
May the relations between the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia and the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland blossom with much eternal greatness!

Subject: Partnered shipyards
Dear Director-General Colwan,
In the interests of expanding trade ties with the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland and to improve the quality of my corporation's shipbuilding workers, I have been approved by the Upper House of Parliament and the Southeast Asian Federal Ministry of Finance to request a partnership between the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland and the Kepphil Shipyard Incorporated, located in a place called Batangas, found in the state of Calabarzon.
It is indeed an honor and a priviledge to be in communication with the head of some of the finest shipbuilding corporations in the entire world, Mister Colwan, and I would be highly excited to meet you and hear that you respond to my company's proposal positively. Should you accept, the friendship between the United Kingdom and the United Sovereign Nations can only go down deeper on the road of prosperity.
Yours Respectfully,
Richard Santiago
Chairman of Kepphil Shipyard, Incorporated
Batangas, Calabarzon, Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia, the establishment of a partnered yard in your nation would be fine. I will try to write up an IC response, but it will be a while (at least a week).
Free shepmagans, as above. A satellite yard will be established in your nation. Please inform me as to its whereabouts whenever is most convenient for you.
Hurricane Bay, 1 Chamberlain-class SSGN should be in your port of choice as soon as this is posted.
Illior, I write up a costing as soon as I get back from lunch.
In other news, there should be massive changes coming up in August, providing I can finish my thesis by the end of this month.

From: Ivan Gaslukatov, RMSMC Procurement Board
Greetings,
Given the RMSMC's dealings with IMW-LDS in the past, we approach the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland with confidence that our request will be fulfilled to the standards required.
A recent reorganization of the Russkyan Submarine Fleet has resulted in the decommissioning of several Akula II class boats, scheduled to be replaced with Forthar-class SSNs. The Submarine Fleet has also expressed great interest in the Haenulf class SSK. As such the RMSMC has been ordered to procure:
- 15 Haenulf ("Stortbek-B") class Patrol Submarines. (SSK)
- 12 Forthar class Attack Submarines (SSN)
The appropriate funds will of course be wired to the appropriate account upon confirmation of the order. If required, the funds for each individual ship will be wired as the vessels are completed.
Expect further business to be conducted in the near future.
Best regards and well-wishes,
- Ivan Gaslukatov, RMSMC.

Subject: Marquess-class purchase
Dear Director-General Colwan,
Once again, I, Admiral Daniel Chan, Chief of the Southeast Asian Navy, on the behalf of my nation and the representatives in the military and government, send you and your friends in the Union of Southeast Asian Nations send their most honored and glorious compliments to you and your great colleagues and countrymen of the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland.
Thanks to recent events, the Incorporated States of Sarzonia have retired from the international scene and the Portland Iron Works are becoming increasingly more and more unstanding. It is not because of that, we are here yet again at the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland.
It is because, our naval armed forces lack something that the Portland Iron Works currently does not possess and their nation's isolation probably shall hinder them from doing a custom project - we ourselves lack a command amphibious assault ship for too long, and we wish to rectify this error.
The Marquess-class nuclear-powered command amphibious assault ship seems to fit such a niche role in our naval armed forces - however, we have only seen it on paper. We have to see it in action, not just on paper.
The Upper Parliamentarian House has approved for the purchase of a single Marquess-class LHCN, for testing purposes to validate her worthiness. The procurement cost of 6,600,000,000 Universal Standard Dollars (USD) shall be wired upon the confirmation of the order. Should the Southeast Asian military forces and Parliament find the Marquess truly worthy for service in the Southeast Asian Navy, I shall return for a more substantial purchase.
Yours Sincerely,
Admiral Daniel Chan
Chief of the Southeast Asian Navy

Hotdogs2, your order has been confirmed.
Regarding satellite yards for both you and Lorrian Territories, it is more of a question of whether or not it is feasible for the Royal Shipyards to open a yard or to be partnered with a yard in a foreign territory. It would require substantial orders coming in (from your respective navies as well as other nations) to make such an operation practical.
Another thing that needs to be noted is that many of the shipyards I've established in foreign nations have not the infrastructure to build the larger vessels (battleships, heavy command battleships/super dreadnoughts, and the larger aircraft carriers (i.e. fleet carriers)). Only a few shipyards (those in Jimnam and the Omzian Democratic Republic, if I remember correctly) are capable of building all types of vessels. I had to build an artificial island to manufacture SDs, and nearly bankrupted the Royal Shipyards in the process.
I hope this explains my present reluctance to your satisfaction.

Hotdogs2
25-08-2006, 10:48
Hotdogs2 has had several ports recently enlarged due to the order to purchase a Hood class ship from Questers [[OOCly he's said yeah its confirmed, but he's not so good at posting :D]] , an SD which is possibly the largest in the world. Therefore we have also been forced to provide a dry dock for such a great ship, again at great expense but we believe that is was weel worth it as a ship which costs near to 1trillion USD can only be worth the effort if we are to sustain it and ensure it has as long a lifetime as possible.
Along with this new dry dock(located on the estuary of the "serginsky" river) the docks there were upgraded, again due to the new Hood class SD, as we began to prepare for the upgrading of our navy, something which would require the purchase of large numbers of ships, meaning that it would in some cases be better to purchase production rights for such ships and produce them ourselves. This, along with our previous building of our own ships ranging up to the Nimitz class carriers and other amphibious landing carrier ships means we are very capable in the production of any type of ship of any class and type.
We can also confirm that if you will allow it we would like to make you our primary Naval supplier, which is again another reason for wanting to become a partenered dockyard.

To: Neville Colwan, Director-General, Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland
From: James Tricker, Head of Navies, Northford.
Greetings friend.
I write to you hoping to extend trade links with your country, and this business, but first a little bit about myself.
I am James Tricker, the civilian Head of the Navies for the Commonwealth of Northford. It is my position to secure acquisitions of new ships, as outlined in requirements set by the admirals. As it stands now, the Commonwealth of Northford finds its naval acquisition program in tatters. Following the suspension of sales in the PIW (OOC: PIW was my main supplier, and that’s how I IC-ly explain it) to foreign customers, the main seller of naval hardware to Northford, the Commonwealth finds it lacking a reliable partner in expanding it’s navy to future requirements.
While we have other manufacturers for certain ‘niches’ in the navy’s requirements, such as Vicker’s Shipbuilding for our police patrol craft, and Praetonia’s IPS as the main supplier of escorts for a GASN project we are party too, we are still noticeably lacking a main partner in naval developer.
Browsing through the PIW catalogue, and the RSIN, I have found many similarities, noticeably a number of joint ship designs, and also a strict attention to detail that is lacking in many areas of other cataloges.
To that end, I am authorising funds to be allocated for the following purchases. While this order may seem rather unbalanced, let it be reminded that this order is a follow through from an acquisition program that we were in the middle of at the PIW, and that the aircraft carriers are to be used in conjunction with a GASN force that is already mid-developed. Please note, however, that once these plans are complete, the Commonwealth will actively seek to work with your planners, to develop a new fleet that is just right for our needs.
On with the order.
The Commonwealth of Northford hereby requires the following products:
30 Guinness-class AOEN-44 Billion
5 Hobbes-class AH-13.1 Billion
25 Gull-class ATF – 875 Million
120 Walmsley-class CVL/CVH- 168 Billion
2 LMI-3.2 Rook reconnaissance/attack UAV- 15 Million
2 LMI-4.2 Tern combat UAV-35 Million
Grand Total:
226.025 Billion Universal Standard Dollars
Let it be known that the Commonwealth is purchasing the UAV’s for a testing program against Northford designed UAV’s. If the program is successful, the RSIN can expect a very large order soon.
The Commonwealth wishes this order will be accepted, and graciously awaits a response.

The Heroes Nation of –Scaevola- has been seeking upgrades or replacements for the two classes of submarines listed here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11622731&postcount=1).
Now the Tichy class SSN (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11023528&postcount=16) is a design we would appreciate for our interceptor, but it would have to be modified to take our standard 635 mm torpedoes. We are also concerned about the relatively shallow depth capability and hope that our design engineering group can jointly solve this problem with your design team.
The Stortbek class SSK (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11023595&postcount=19) also seems promising for our costal attack submarine class, but with the stated problems of torpedo size the Tichy has above. Since they seldom operate much past the continental shelf, depth problems probably will not accrue.
We look forward to working with you on the engineering problems and hope that we can reach a mutually acceptable financial deal.

Re: Marquez-class LHCN
We wish to enquire about the possible purchase of (16) Marquez-class LHCN's to replace our aging LCC-19 Blue Ridge JCS's in our Marine Expeditionary Force Fleets. We are impressed with the overall design and layout of this vessel but we are curious about the lack of aircraft listed in the catalog associated with the ship? We would like to know the official recommendation from your company on the exact number of aircraft the Marquez can support while still maintaining its role as the overall command ship in the MEF group. Once we recieve your answer on this minor technical question we would like to order (2) units per year until we reach our goal of complete replacement at (16).
Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Illior, your order is confirmed. Apologies for the delay.
Northford, your order is confirmed. Apologies for the delay.
Scaevola, your order is confirmed. 1020m = 3346 ft depth, which is typical of many designs, and much greater than NS designs. Strengthening the hull to withstand greater depths is possible, but would result in a cost increase. The RSIN could provide a design capable of depths of up to 4000m, but the resulting vehicle would likely be slower and certainly far more expensive. Deeper depths (ca. 10000m) could also be achieved, but again, utility and cost are issues. That written, I shall look into the matter.
Re: torpedo tube resizing, that should not be a serious issue Both the Tichy- and Stortbek-classes can be refitted with 6 × 635mm tubes for 16 weapons (635 mm size). Apologies for the delay.
Hawdawg, the Marquess-class LHCN can operate 36 V/STOL fighters (F-35 size), 40 large fighters (F-14 or Su-33 size or thereabouts), 6 heavy-lift helicopters (larger than a CH-53E), 40 medium lift helicopters (about the size of an EH-101), 36 attack helicopters (about the size of an Mi-28 "Havoc" or an AH-64D Apache), 12 light utility helicopters (about the size of a Lynx), and 21 utility helicopters (about the size of an NH90). Your order for the vessels is confirmed. Apologies for the delay.

The location of said sattelite ship yard is to be at the estuary of the serginsky river, which, although not the longest, is the deepest at the estuary, and is located on the west coast of Hotdogs2, being the largest and best defended single river in Hotdogs2. The name of the works is simply the "Serginsky Shipyards", and is part owned by the government and three Private Companies, however there is a tradition that several Government officials are often CEO's of said companies.
The docks there are capable of a vast range of production of ships, and can currently hold one SD of the Hood class, and we are looking to build two new (dry) docks for the imminent purchase of further smaller SD's.
Thankyou for your kind acceptance, we greatly appreciate it,

Re: Inquiry about a partnership yard
Dear sir we are curious as to the requirements for establishing a partnership yard with your company. We have settled on five different hulls of Royal Shipyards to help refit our aging surface fleet. We are in desperate need of a refit in the very outdated FF and DDG classes, we have studied our vessels and determined we will need to replace some 492 minor surface combatants alone within the next 20 years. With the limited production capabilities within your own yards we would propose the construction of satellite yards in certain Hawdawg Territories. We have preselected several sites within the Republic and narrowed the choices to Stockholm Sweden, Cardiff England, Liverpool England, Edinburg England, and Helsinki Finland. Hyball Naval Industries, Inc. has offered to help establish these yards in Hawdawg Territory by providing manpower, waterfront property and raw materials to Royal Shipyards of Isselmere for the opportunity to work with a large conglomerate like yourself.
Our initial order of 16 Marquez class LHCN's will be expanded to include the following:
(60) Bullfinch Class- FFH @ 34.2 Bil USD
We will need an additional 220 Bullfinch FFH vessels, but we will hold off on this order until we are notified of our possible establishment of partner yards.

Hawdawg, your order is confirmed. The establishment of a partnership with Hyball Naval Industries will be considered, and I shall respond on such today.
Kahanistan, my apologies for the ridiculously long delay. The Hobbes-class hospital ships have been sent to your ports with nuclear reactors fitted without extra cost. Future nuclear-powered Hobbes-class ships will go for $3020 million, or $200 million more than the conventional design owing to the cost of the reactor, of the fuel (processing, safety measures), etc.
As for the CAG, I will have to look at your requirements again. I envisage nuclear power, decent dual purpose guns (127mm-155mm), but primarily large missile batteries. I'll see what I can get done by Wednesday.

FROM: Sir John Simpson, Chief Admiral of Fleet Staff, Hotdogs2
Subject: Future orders and Satellite yard.
Dear Sir,
Due to the flaring problems in the region of West Corinthia we are beccoming increasingly concerned about the threat of attack to Hotdogs2. For that reason we ask for the following ships to be produced:
40x Haenulf (Stortbek 'B')-class SSK @ $420 million EA
10x Stortbek-class SSK @ $400million EA
16x Chamberlain-class SSBN @ $6120 million EA
12x Palace-class SSBN @ $2,166 million EA
20x Nowotny-class SSN @ $2,456 million EA
10x Tichy-class SSN @ $1865.2 million EA
Total cost: $212,484 Million ($212.484 Billion)
We would also like to ask what rights we have for production of smaller vessels within our nation at the recently aquired Serginsky Shipyards on behalf of the H2 Navy and if we must ask you for these rights and what we will owe you as our rather stupid university graduates who should understand such matters don't.
Yours Sincerely,
Admiral Sir John Simpson,
OOC: Hate to be a bother, but I believe I ordered two Pechtas-class SSGNs, whose order has yet to be confirmed. Could definately use those boats in the near future, mate, but not unduly bothered - Fascist fleet hasn't moved yet.
Isselmere
05-09-2006, 22:58
OOC: Damn; sorry about that, Russkya, the order's been confirmed and the boats are in your port(s) as I write this, with reimbursement for the delay. Alternatively, you can upgrade them to the Chamberlain-class at no extra cost.
Hotdogs2, your order has been confirmed. You have basically unlimited domestic production rights for warships smaller than destroyers (no resale to third parties or foreign sale, however), and domestic production rights for most auxiliary ships (Lem-class, Guinness-class, and Hobbes-class are not included, and again no resale to third parties or foreign sales). RSIN gets its cut automatically from such purchases. Larger warships and the those specific auxiliaries must be purchased in the typical way (i.e. here), although domestic production for most ships will be on-site (in H2).
-Scaevola-
06-09-2006, 05:15
Upon advisement from our research board, a revision in your depth specifications is not necessary. And if the resizing of the torpedo tubes is moderately priced, we would indeed wish to do business with you.
For a projected seven billion USD budget, we would like to order three of each class (Tichy and Stortbek) in a test program. Depending on the production speed and local outfitting of sensors and equipment, this contract could be extended to cover the complete replacement need. (Total of 24 Tichy and 40 Stortbek)
How do you handle local production rights and royalties, and do you have a standard spares and reloads policy rate?
Thank you.
Isselmere
06-09-2006, 20:44
Scaevola, the torpedo tube resizing will cost nothing (chiefly because no one uses 585mm torpedoes, and because I'm assuming your country will ship the necessary launchers over to the dockyards for fitting, so that in the end everything will work out to the same cost anyway). Electronics and other equipment will be dealt with in a similar manner.
As for info on domestic production rights (DPR), please check out the following NSwiki article:
http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Production_rights
I'm not a great fan of granting DPRs except to partnered/satellite shipyards, of which I have far too many at the moment, and do not grant DPRs for nuclear vessels. For the Stortbek- and Haenulf-classes, however, that would not be a problem.
Typically, I judge spares and basic maintenance to be between 4% (basic) - 14% (excellent) of the unit cost for ships. Being lazy, I figure that such figures will vary over the lifetime of the contract and the vessels and will be judged on a case-by-case basis by the owner as their economy permits. The costs would be listed in the contract, but are not specifically stated. That written, I would certainly consider adding maintenance costs to the specs., in the manner of the Imperial Praetonian Shipyards.
With regards to reloads, all ships come empty. If you wish to equip them, you can either buy the weapons from whomever (provided they fit within the vessel and the launchers!) or purchase weapon DPRs from me or another arms manufacturer. For the torpedo tubes, they should be able to use all conventional rounds you have listed in your write-up.

For a total, including the pilot plan and this order, of 63 Billion (63,000,000,000) USD we would purchase from the Royal Shipyards 24 Tichy and 24 Stortbek class submarines with the modifications discussed earlier.
A payment of 31.5 billion (31,500,000,000) USD accompanies this order and a sum of six hundred and fifty-six million two hundred and fifty thousand (656,250,000) USD will be paid upon receiving of each ship.
(31,500,000,000 + {48*656,250,000} = 63,000,000,000)
No domestic production plan is envisioned at this time, though such an agreement for other vessals of Royal Shipyard design may be negotiated later.
We look forward to doing business with you in the future.

SUBJECT: Custom project and suggestion
Dear Sirs,
The Southeast Asian Ministry of Defense has been assisting the Democratic Soviet Republic in its quest for military reforms, and one of those forms of assistance came in the proposal of a joint partnership between the state-owned Kahanistan Military Industries and the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland's most famous company, the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland.
During the conference, the Minister of Defense suggested a joint design with the Soviet Republic. It would be based on the Duchy-class conventional-powered heavy cruiser....and that was when we were reminded of a Portland Iron Works design - the Oceania-class trimaran large escort vessel (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=437113). The Oceania was conceived from the old TAMD Mark III line of escort vessels from Artitsa, and also thanks to Axis Novan doctrine regarding the so-called "super dreadnaughts" that many navies have, and both supporters and detractors are galvanized by. And also, with regards to observation from the amount of treatment Super Dreadnaughts and or entire naval fleets are often met with - missile saturation strikes and tactical nuclear weapon strikes - the Incorporated Sarzonian Navy got thinking.
However, thanks to political reasons and economic reasons (the Panic of 2006), we were originally intending to procure the Oceania-class trimaran large escort vessel to fill in a niche our naval forces lacked, but could not do so. However, we gave the custom request to the Beltway, but we also decided to give both the Royal Shipyards and the Kahanistan Military Industries a shot. After all, the Kahanistan Republic Navy has been eager to prove itself for once and for all that it was not a joke, and that despite the fact that the Soviet Republic has only one coastal city (Al-Bahr), it still does have a potent shipbuilding industry.
So, what does the Royal Shipyards and the Kahanistan Military Industries say to this notion of a trimaran large escort vessel, totally revamped from the Duchy-class hull?
Yours Sincerely,
Admiral Daniel Chan
Chief of the Southeast Asian Navy
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
[OOC: Basically, an oppurtunity for both you and Kahanistan to cooperate in design. Happy chatting over telegrams, and I think that this shall be a fun experience for all of us. I'll post this in his KMI storefront soon enough.]

OOC: Southeast Asia, as previously stated, I have little time for RPing at present and for the near future. What little time I do have is currently devoted to designing systems that were envisioned much, much earlier (i.e., months and months ago). RL problems such as work, home life, etc., make it extremely impractical for me to RP, and that situation is unlikely to change.

Hotdogs2, I should have the price for that package up by tonight. Sorry 'bout that.
In other news, a new rating system:
-Heavy command battleships (BBCN) = 1st rate
-Heavy battleships (BBAN) = 2nd rate
-First-class battleships (BBGN) = 3rd rate
-Second-class battleships (BBGN) and new battlecruisers (CBGN) = 4th rate
-Older battlecruisers (CBG(N)) and new heavy cruisers (CAGN) = 5th rate
-Older heavy cruisers (CAG(N)) and new light cruisers (CLGN) = 6th rate (major)
-Older guided missile cruisers (CG(N)) = 6th rate (minor)
The Regent-class CAGN and Alderdom-class CLGN are nearing design completion and should be posted soon. The Alderdom-class is about the size of a battlecruiser (243m long at the waterline) whilst the Regent-class is about the size of a battleship (271m long at the waterline). The proposed Consort-class battlecruiser will be about 300m long at the waterline.
So, in accordance with the new rating scheme:
1st rate: Europa-class
2nd rate: Jimnam- and Kingdom-classes
3rd rate: King Henry V- and King Robert VI-classes
4th rate: Consort-class
5th rate: Regent-class
6th rate: Alderdom-class

To: Neville Colwan, Director-General, Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland
Subject: Procurement of Auxiliary Fleet.
Dear Sir,
Due to an overhaul of the Grand-Ducal Marine's it's auxiliary fleet, we have been looking for a suitable constructor. We are delighted to report that the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland have been chosen to build the Auxiliary ships to be ordered. However, in the interest of employment of our own constructors, we would like to make Courbusier Navale's yard in Le Havre available as a partnered shipyard. The Le Havre Yard is regrettably somewhat outdated, but will be renovated in the coming months. We expect to have the shipyard available to the RSIN in Two (2) months. We prefer that all our ships will be constructed at the indicated yard. Please bear in mind that Courbusier Navale Le Havre is a partnered yard, and not a satellite yard. The Yard is able to construct a maximum of 10 vessels at a time, with a maximum ship length of 400 metres. If needed, contact Courbusier Navale (Headquarters is the CN Yard in Brest), they will be able to free up more yards for construction. These however will not fall under the RSIN-CN Partnererd Yard.
The order has been carefully checked by our experts on this department, but we can not ensure flawless mathematics in the hundreds of orders we make either domestic or foreign every year. The order is following.
12 Aylesburgh AS
363 Guinness AOEN
10 Hobbes-class AH
161 Gabin-class AKR
211 General Marsden-class AP
81 Gull-class ATF
119 Shorebird-class YTB
15 Nanuk-class AGB
2 Siren-class AGI
Grand Total: 655194 Million, or 655 Billion and 194 Million U.S. Dollars.
We hope this delivery can be made to the Grand-Ducal Marine within 8 years. This because the scheduled delivery of all obsolete and auxiliaries is 8 years from now, to independent colonies of the van Luxemburgian Grand-Duchy.

Grootadmiraal Henk Eijsens,

Hotdogs2, typically I had listed what each system could launch in the starting post. Quite likely when the RSIN went to version 4, that particular launcher was omitted (by mistake). Please remember, however, that all ships come "unarmed"; i.e., without missiles, etc., unless you request the ships to be armed (that is, as a complete package). I'll check the launcher list in the first post and add the GWLS.36U to it if it is absent.
Hotdogs2, your order has been confirmed.

OOC: Hotdogs2, For the sake of me being a terribly lazy b**tard, let's say you purchased the weapons along with the hulls, the cost of which being added to the total.
With respect to satellite shipyards, what you get are the hulls and the weapons systems (launchers, guns, sensors, etc.), but the weapons (missiles, torpedoes, shells, charges, etc.) and fuel (with the exception of the nuclear powered vessels) are extra. The weapons can be purchased or you can obtain domestic production rights (DPRs) for them. If I added the weapons to the cost of the ships, the cost of vessels would be much much greater (for instance, a King Henry V-class battleship costs $36.52 billion and $40.8 billion fully equipped, whilst a Union-class carrier goes for $64 billion by itself and $105.3 billion with aircraft, their weapons and systems, and its weapons and systems).
Southeast Asia, the answer is yes and no. The Síanach-class is the size of the Morrígan-class, whilst the Alderdom-class is much larger and with about twice the personnel. A one-to-one substitution (considering cost and crewing requirements) would not be possible, but the Alderdom is intended to be the new light cruiser for my navy.

Roger, still at work here too. A close estimate is fine, I usually keep a balanced mix of ordinance on all vessels to balance out multiple threat scenarios. I only overload on certain ordinance only if I have a task specific mission for the vessel i.e. land attack for MEF flotilla.

[OOC: Isselmere, yet another question that popped out from my ever-curious mind - how long, and what shall it require, for a country/role-player like Kahanistan to gain access to your finest creations - the Jimnam-class heavy battleship (aka pocket-superdreadnaught) and the Europa-class heavy command battleship (aka superdreadnaught)?]
Isselmere
04-10-2006, 07:39
[OOC: At the moment, probably proof that he could actually afford to support and sustain such a vessel. As I have noted elsewhere, one typically needs at least 103 vessels to support and sustain a single Europa-class heavy command battleship, and slightly less for a Jimnam-class heavy battleship. Furthermore, I have only two Europa-class and five Jimnam-class ships in my entire navy with a six billion-plus population and massive defence spending, much of which goes to my navy. Those vessels are immensely capital and labour intensive.]
OOC: Quick heads-up to alert you. Expect more spending from me in the very near future, I almost have the majority of my surface combatants worked out. We will most likely be needing some kind of "Pay as you Float the Hulls" plan given the current budget allocations. Fortunately, time is something I have in abundance for my Navy, no real pressure on them.

Re: Potential Order of BBGN's
Dear sir we are interesting in upgrading our current fleet of (72) Battleships to newer design. We have returned to your trusted storefront to select a replacement model. We would inquire as to which model would best fit our needs. We invision a BB that can be utilized as a fire support vessel for our MEF, and that can act as a dominant supporting vessel in our Heavy Attack Group Carrier formations as well as be the lead vessel in our Sea Superiority Groups. We are curious as to which model or models your shipyard might suggest to fill this need?
Sincerely,
Gordon Wells

Holy Republic of Hawdawg
---------------------------------
OOC: I run a slightly modified BB based on the hull style of old Iowa class. It's basically a modernized Missouri. What I would like to do is update the fleet, and by doing so be able to cut back on the total number of vessels in each group. Therefore I can increase my firepower and save a little bit on my operating costs annually by having less boats in the water, if that makes any sense. The groups that I typically keep sea worthy are listed in my navy and marines link. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hawdawg and Hotdogs2, my sincere apologies for the delay. Both orders have been approved and are in process as of 1 NS hour after being received (i.e., sent by you). Hawdawg, the total cost for 22 Kingdom-class and 46 King Henry V-class battleships, all fully equipped and armed, will be $3.768 528 trillion ($3,380,885,200,000 for the ships alone). This loadout also consists of the GWS.92 (extended range) and GWS.93 (anti-ballistic missile) versions of the Erne surface-to-air missile.
We have wired $3.768 528 trillion USD to your bank account. Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter.

OOC: Hey, just wondering if you have the specs for all of your weapons? Just im looking at a completely new air defence system so need the best available missiles. Also my current navy is using RL weapons now and as we purchase everything from you for the navy we wouldn't mind production rights to the weapons used onboard these ships.
Another issue i'd like to sort out is the aircraft onboard my ships. Arew production rights available for the main types? That way i don't have to worry about purchasing every single aircraft plus maintaining extra aircraft if they get blown up ;). Any chance of this happening?
Sorry for all the questions, hope the $8tril was good money ;)
Isselmere

The specifications for most locally designed weapons should be listed within the appropriate sections (anti-air, anti-submarine, anti-surface), the exceptions being the GWS.59, GWS.67, GWS.69, and a few others that for some reason or other I have not had the chance to list, but I have every intention to do so. Domestic production rights for weapons systems falls generally follows the formula below:
((Cost per unit) × 2000) + ((Cost per unit) × 5%)*
where * indicates the royalty the designer receives for every unit over 2000 units produced, assumed to be received automatically by the designer upon production.
For aircraft (which have not all been listed, unfortunately), the formula is as follows:
((Cost per unit) × 500) + ((Cost per unit) × 10%)**
where ** indicates the royalty received by the designer for every unit over 500 units produced, again, received automatically by the designer upon production.
With regards to the AGFN and LCC, AGFN stands for "Auxiliary, General, Flagship, Nuclear powered", which I have subsequently rebranded CCN for "Cruiser, Command, Nuclear powered". LCC stands for "Landing craft, Command", which in this case refers to small ships to direct small tactical/special forces landing units -- in US Navy use, LCCs are typically much larger and used to command expeditionary fleets/groups.

Subject: Further orders
Dear Neville Colwan, Director-General,
We wish to order another two of our submarine flottilas from RSIN. This shall be great assurance of our nations undersea capabilities in this hostile world. We shall also be looking at some variations on the SSK submarines currently on sale, as we have an interest in our AMID (Anti-Ballistic Missile Defence) department for a submarine based defence system for the nation, as the advantages of such a sytem is very clear in our minds, and would be an excellent and new evolution to current NS defence systems giving us an excellent edge.
The exact numbers for submarines on order are:
40x Haenulf (Stortbek 'B')-class SSK @ $420 million EA
10x Stortbek-class SSK @ $400million EA
16x Chamberlain-class SSBN @ $6120 million EA
12x Palace-class SSBN @ $2,166 million EA
20x Nowotny-class SSN @ $2,456 million EA
10x Tichy-class SSN @ $1865.2 million EA
Sub Total: $212,484 Million USD ($212.484 Billion)
For two flottilas: $424,968 Million USD
However onto this order we would also wish to add 20x Admiral-class command cruiser (CCN) at $3000 million each, adding another $60000 million to the orders cost.
That makes a Grand Total of $484,968 Million USD ($0.5Trillion). We look foward to your reply in great anticipation and expect to be making several bids for domestic production rights to both aircraft and weapons in the near future.
Regards,
Admiral Sir John Simpson

Greetings, Friend.
Since our last correspondance (page 12) many great things have happened in the Commonwealth, we have grown, prospered, and yet again seek your aid in developing our countries fine military machine.
While our tests of your UAV programs are still in the final stages, we deem it prudent to invest now in more of your carrier assets, as to ensure that we can best provide for our defence needs.
To that end, the Commonwealth has alloted funds to allow the purchase of the following aircraft carriers:
50 Court-class CVG(N) Aircraft Carriers
The cost for this order comes to 187 500 Universal Standard Dollars, and will be paid on confirmation of orders.

The latest ships fall into the new naval rating scheme, which is as follows:
First Rate: Europa- to Jimnam-classes heavy battleships
Second Rate: Kingdom- to King Robert VI-classes battleships
Third Rate: Consort-class battlecruiser
Fourth Rate: Regent-class heavy cruiser
Fifth Rate: Alderdom-class light cruiser
Sixth Rate: Sianach-class destroyer
The new destroyer is about the same size as the previous light cruiser class, as you have noted, and has about twice the crew complement of the previous destroyer class, and the same goes for all of the cruisers (light cruiser as large as the previous heavy cruiser, etc.). The earlier classes are able to do the job, but considering the proliferation of larger and larger ships within other navies, I switched to larger designs myself. If you are fighting one of those larger navies, I would opt for the heavier designs, otherwise the lighter designs (Wallace-class DDG, etc.) would be better in terms of budget, crew requirements, outfitting, etc. Once you present your list I would be able to give you both a cost and possible total crewing requirement for the order, for each ship if necessary.
As for the Marquess-class, it is the size of one of my Union-class carriers, and can support an air wing with 36 V/STOL fighters, 40 large CTOL fighters (Su-35 size), 6 heavy-lift helicopters (larger than a CH-53), 40 Merlin EH101-sized medium-lift helicopters, 36 attack helicopters, 12 light utility helicopters (about the size of a Lynx), and 21 utility helicopters (about the size of an NH90 or UH-60). In other words, it can carry the helicopter force for an entire Marine brigade.
An amphibious tractor (amtrac) is an Americanism for an amphibious tracked armoured vehicle (the American acronym was "Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel" or LVTP), otherwise known as an "Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle" or EFV, such as my L12 Otter (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8054371&postcount=4) vehicle series. Often the Marquess-class carries about half that capacity of EFVs (about 48) so the dock and vehicle hold could be used for the rest of the brigade's vehicles (air cushioned landing craft, slower conventional landing craft, tanks, transports, etc.).
I apologise if this has not exactly answered your question, Northford.
Southeast Asia, I doubt many storefronts would view kindly other people making changes to their designs any more than a RL firm would.

[OOC]
Thanks for your answer. It helped a lot
.. Ok, here it is. Now, I'm including the list of everything I will purchase in this post for personal reference, but at the moment, I am only ordering a small portion. Feel free to comment of the fleet composition. Idealistically, this battlefleet would be used purely to neutralise enemy hood-type fleet threats, in open water, thus filling a gap in the Northfordian Naval Arsenal. Also, I have purposely ommitted SD's, BB's and Submarines for deliberate reasons. Firstly, I already have SD's, from Sarz, before he left. This fleet would be used with the 7 'Pocket SD's', as well as BB's, which I have let to procure from anyone, on the issue of IC cost alone. As for Sub's, Questers informed me he is going to be releasing some soon, and I have decided to hold off my judgement to them.
One side note, on the issue of the size of this thing. Primarily, this thing is designed to 'take out' battlefleets that are based around one or two hood type vessals. I don't like SuperCapitals all that much OOCly, despite their coolness, and I can't afford to to maintain single purpose SD fleets to match them. Therefore this purchase, while designed to be used en-masse , to destroy Hood-Based fleets, can also be split, and used in the conventional sense. Also, RP wise, I consider Northford to be some distance away from other countries, which is why I have got a large logistical element included.]
Greetings, Friends.
Time has come for the Northfordian Navy to procure itself a Blue Water combat fleet. To long has it been resigned to simple escort duties. Simply put, it has been judged that with the apparently decreasing strength of the GASN, and its inability to do anything to remedy the threat posed to its members, the Commonwealth of Northford has decided time has come for it to persue its own defence programme.
To that end, the Commonwealth has decided to persuse and purchase the fine wares of the RSIN. While our testing of your UAVs is still yet to be completed, your fine light carriers are serving our forces well, have served two 'Tours of Trade' successfully, and are presently heading towards the Blackhelm confederacy in order to enforce a blockade there.
These fine ships have given use suitable evidence of the quality you ingrain into every ship, and have therefore caused us to eagerly aquire more of your wares.
To that end, the Commonwealth of Northford wishes to make the following purchase, of Logistical Ships, to form the backbone of this new water fleet. It has often been said that a horse without water cannot Gallop, and we are firm believers that an illsupported fleet cannot with a war.
Providing you find our courting of trade acceptable, further orders will be made as time progresses, and financial constraints allow.
The Commonwealth of Northford presents the following order for your approval:
*15 Nanuk-class AGB @ 300 million a piece
*35 Gull-class ATF @ 35 Million a piece
*150 Guinness-class AOEN @ 1,152 million a piece
*30 Aylesburgh-class AS @ 400 million a piece
*15 Lem-class AFS @ 800 million a piece
*45 Hobbes-class AH @ 2,620 million a piece
*10 Gabin-class AKR @ 700 million a piece
*40 General Marsden-class AP @ 400 million a piece
The cost for this order comes to a total of 343 425 Universal Standard Dollars, and will be wired upon confirmation of order.
Also included in this order is a list of ships we will be wishing to aquire in the near future, to allow you to adapt your production to meet our needs accordingly. While this list does not constitute an order, please take it on good faith that barring any unusual event, these purchases will happen.
Regards,
James Tricker,
Head of Navies,
Northford.

To be honest, I can only afford two SDs. A supercapital would break me even with a 6-billion population and a frightening economy.
You might want to ignore the icebreakers, unless you live in northern waters or need very heavy ocean-going tugboats, and upgrade the City- and County-class destroyers to the Wallace-class general purpose destroyers on a one-to-one basis, mostly because the latter can perform the functions of either of the former two vessels.
Northford, your order [for the logistics ships mentioned in the IC part of the post] has been confirmed and the vessels will arrive at your ports as soon as they are completed.

Northford check out This (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8498503&postcount=370)
That is a list of one of the old packages systems, its pick and mix pretty much, follow the advice given but feel free to change it and pick whatever you need, like if you have big sub forces then add more subs with their supporting logistics etc, but its really useful as you can mix and match.
A good example would be taking into account that if you use the new DD desgin which is pretty much twice as powerful as one of the smaller DG's you may want less of them as the packages were produced prior to those new releases...also i try to stick with everything as nuclear powered, so all i know all my fleets don't need as much logistics but that of course increases costs as nuclear=expensive ;). up to you, good luck.

Southeast Asia, I doubt many storefronts would view kindly other people making changes to their designs any more than a RL firm would.
[OOC: Well, the FDI Group doesn't mind and is actually flexible to modify in the name of business interest and is in general flexible to the consumer. And they're often most willing to oblige when requested to. Would the RSIN mind if my nation requested PBR-modified Ungforths?]

Southeast Asia, my apologies. I have had little time to work on projects of late and consequently am quite short-tempered. I was confused by what you intended, believing the required alterations would mark a great changes to the existing designs as opposed to those you note. Alterations to the docking bay to permit the ingress and egress of PBRs would not require any great additional cost, or any, really. If I remember correctly, the US Navy used amphibious ships for just such a purpose during the Vietnam War.
I regret not being more flexible, but at present I am embarking on major revisions to all of my storefronts, which has been consuming the majority of my scarce free time.

[OOC: Best to be direct when asking me such questions, else I wonder what is intended, Southeast Asia. With regard to changing the CIWS, that depends on with what you intend replacing the existing system with regard to volume, power, and maintenance requirements. What sort of system are you envisaging?]
From: Ivan Gaslukatov, RMSMC, PSR Russkya
To: Neville Colwan, Director-General, Royal Shipyards, UKIN
Subject: Surface Vessel Procurement
--
Director-General Colwan,
With the history that the RMSMC has developed with Isselmere Motor Works - Land Defence Systems and the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland, and the absolute satisfaction with weapon systems purchased from both organizations, the Politburo has not hesitated to approve the shape of the re-organized Russkyan Navy.
As such, a payment plan will be required. It has been suggested that payment be completed individually per vessel over the period of construction.
To complete the fleet, the following Isselmere-Nieland designed and constructed vessels will be required in the noted quantities:
- 2 Admiral-class CCN
- 6 Siren-class AGI
- 1 King Henry V-class BBGN
- 4 Sea-class / Solquist-class CBGN
- 8 Síanach-class DDGN
- 21 City-class / Daurmont-class DDG (ASW)
- 26 County-class / Glaines-class DDG (AD)
- 14 Bullfinch-class FFH
- 5 Walmsley-class CVL/CVH
- 1 Hornby-class CVL(N)
The Daurmont and Glaines class vessels should be built first, if that is a possibility, as they are the most urgently required. Otherwise, as you see fit is more than acceptable with regards to the sequence and priority of construction.
Best Regards,
- Ivan Gaslukatov, RMSMC, PSR Russkya

[OOC: Well Issel, given the fact that I use a variety of naval arms contractors - the Portland Iron Works of Sarzonia, the Freethinker Defense Industries of the Freethinker Commonwealth and yourself, I figured I'd be needing some commonality between the hulls that you superb shipwrights. I was interested in figuring out some commonality between the CIWS products Sarzonia uses among others.]

[OOC: Southeast Asia, my typical CIWS (GWLS.68) consists of a 35mm autocannon (similar to a Rheinmetall's RL Millennium Gun) with a 16-tube VLS consisting of missiles that are just over 3m long and have a core diameter of 14cm (note: not the dimension of the launch canisters, just the missiles themselves). My CIWS for larger ships (GWLS.98) will be a 57mm autocannon with a 16-tube VLS firing missiles that are about 4m long and 25.4cm in diameter. The latter would occupy more space than would be suitable for the LHDs, LPDs, LSDs, etc., as well as other existing GWLS.68 sites without massive re-working. As I do not recall the size of Sarzonia's missiles or their method of launch, I cannot say whether such would be a feasible change or not.]

To: Neville Colwan, Director-General, Royal Shipyards
From: Paul David Nettleton, Minister of Defense, Union of Southeast Asian Nations
Subject: SSK Procurement
Dear Director-General Neville Colwan,
The Southeast Asian Navy is most impressed by the Crocodile-class Littoral Combat Ship and as I myself was at the combat trials of the ships procured, so am I. Unfortunately, the Federal Parliament is still debating on it, however, they have had made time to finangle another order: the Haenulf-class conventional patrol submarine.
It seems most formidable a ship, yet we have to see it for ourselves to validate the Haenulf-class conventional patrol submarine's service in the Southeast Asian Navy. On behalf of the Southeast Asian Federal Parliament, the voices and the representatives of the people, I request the Royal Shipyards one sample of the Haenulf-class submarine for combat trial purposes. The procurement cost of 428 Universal Standard Dollars shall be wired to the Royal Shipyards' primary bank account upon confirmation of the order.
Should it prove most worthy, we shall return to the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland for a more substantial purchase. And I am most confident, as the Isselmere-Nielander people's most well-known firm, has proven time and time again, often outdoing itself each time, the Royal Shipyards most definitely shall.
Yours Sincerely,
His Excellency,
Paul David Nettleton
Minister of Defense
Union of Southeast Asian Nations
