The Heroic Nation of –Scaevola- is seeking to replace its fast nuclear intercept submarine (Neptune Class) with an upgrade or new production type. On the average, these vessals have approximately 15 years left on their original 30 year service life. Similarly, an upgrade or replacement is being sought for the hybrid diesel electric costal attack submarine (Tines Class).

Design lines should closely follow the current classes, with draft being of utmost importance.

The contract will be for local or external production of the hulls, power plant and new weapon systems if applicable. Sensors, communication gear and electronics suite are to remain locally produced with minimal information given out as necessary for vessel production .

The statistics for the current vessels follow:

[OOC: I suggest you check out the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=484448), for Isselmere may have something you may like, and is capable of doing an excellent custom contract.]

Thank you for the intrest.

It is possible, since many systems are up for replacement soon in all branches of the Heroes Defence Forces (HDF), that any contact here will grow into contracts for other items.

We at MierTech can supply you with the submarines you require. Your can either view our catalogue here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=454453), or have a look at our offer:


MTN-S05 Blackray class Submarine
http://au.geocities.com/phoenixiusn/MTN-S05.jpg
The Blackray was formed to allow for a larger power projection for the Phoenixius Navy. Larger than the Harius submarine used previously, it has more armaments and a larger variability in its weapons. Incorporated into its size is a greater survivability, with several hulls, with various bulkheads designed to prevent one area from completely negating the entire subs effectiveness.

Designed by: Phoenixius
Propulsion:
2x Elysius EY500 nuclear powerplants providing electrical power
2x PIPD
Length Overall: 180m
Beam: 12m
Displacement: 20,000 tons (submerged - full load)
Crush depth: 500+ m
Speed: 36 knots max, 29 knots 'silent'
Armament:
100x MTM-12 cruise missile VLS Cells (100 Missiles)
8x Torpedo Tubes with 15 MTM-06 Torpedoes
10x MTM-10 LRAAM 8-cell VLS (80 Missiles)
2x Guardian Turrets
Combat Systems:
PHBVS G-IV
APS
PDCS G-III
Triad Armour (100mm)
EMPPS G-II
SAP G-III

Crew: 20 Officers, 130 Enlisted
Unit Cost: $4.5bil
Maintenance Cost: $200mil per year

OOC: Go with Praetonia, Isselmere or Phoe ^-^

I got an order in with Isselmere and the subs are pretty realistic.
