+++Earlier this week, it was reported by Citizen Admiral Sergei Ragozkin that Szorosistan is upgrading its navy to a more modern standard, having used the older Gepard, Kirov, and Slava classes in its carrier battlegroups. Sources in the People's Navy indicate that a new battleship class is being designed, although statistics are sketchy and vague, widely differing depending on who one talks to. Photographs of mockups have been leaked onto the Internet, which confirm to a degree that this design will be a trimaran-hulled vessel.
+++Construction of thirty-four Aequatian-designed Advance-class guided missile cruisers and fifty-six Erschoff-class guided missile destroyers have been confirmed as planned, with the first four cruisers and six destroyers slated to be launched in early 2021, with others to follow.
