OSCAR REID BARHAM'S submergible design team, in cooperation with IMPERIAL SHIPBUILDERS Protected Trading Company, bring you the Questarian Submarine Storefront. All Submarines approved by Commissariat Export Office to be exported will be listed here, along with weapons to be exported with them.

Before the catalogue, we would like to take a moment to explain our economic policy. There are three levels of discount - 1.5%, 3%, and 5%, and they are available for different nations for differing reasons.

1.5% Discount: Nations with similar governments to the UK - that is, free market capitalist and liberal democracy
3% Discount: Nations in the GDI, GASN, ACTO and Sovereign League
5% Discount: Strong allies - Praetonia, Aralonia, Skinny87

These levels are open to change as we found, enter, and leave alliances and as we make new friendships with other nations. Secondly, we have a trading partner system - to become a trading partner with the Questarian Submarine Storefront, you will agree to be open to jointly research electronics, weaponry, propulsion and the like for submergibles and assist in construction of submarines - of course, ORB and IS Ptc will also agree to this. However, as we are a profit making company, and some research is limited by the government, trading partners will only be chosen - and yes, they can be applied for - if it is in our interests. Trading and Research Partners [TRPs] will also recieve a 5% discount.

Trading and Research Partners: Izistan, The Fedral Union

As HM Government has also placed embargos on several nations or groups, ORB and IS Ptc has been restricted to sell to the following until embargos are lifted [also note some nations are charged with 200% internal tax to circumvent GASN law, not technically an embargo, but of course we will not pay to export]:

Union of Communist Nations - Full military embargo
Any nation with a collectivist economy - Sales endangered
Doomingsland - Full military embargo
Generic Empire - Full military embargo
The Warmaster - Full military embargo

Now, onto the catalogue. Please, when you order from ORB and IS Ptc, please dictate your order to Chairman V. Hyogorami, from your defence procurement agency or whatever, with the price, what you are ordering, and what the price is after discount if neccessary.

NUCLEAR / CONVENTIONAL ATTACK SUBMARINES

PROJECT 450 Okita
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k250/IJNYamamoto/IS%20PTC/Project450Okita.gif
Overview:
The Okita was the primary SSN of the Navy until the Taranymo entered service, and both boats began dual service, prowling the oceans of Antarchon. Like other boats, the Okita was constructed from titanium, although its dual hulled construction used both steel and titanium as with the construction of the Kurukazes titanium became expensive, it was decided to use both steel and titanium to create the Okita, giving it a lower operable depth, although she was much cheaper than the Taranymo despite using the same electronics and, essentially, powerplant.

The Okita was quieter than both the Kurukaze and the Rusyuna, and only shadowed by the entrance of the Taranymo, the Okita replaced the Trafalgar class from service, which was woefully outdated for nationstates warfare. The Okita was well armed and could stay submerged for days, as well as being significantly quieter than Juumanistran intelligence expected. Furthermore, it also served as a shield for the later Rusyuna class, which was extremely similar propulsion and dimension wise, and it was thought frequently that an easily detectable Rusyuna was just an Okita being careless.

There were six compartments in the dual hulled submarine and she wielded the capable ORBNEL-44 Communications suite, a quiet, well encoded, and long ranged communications suite specially developed for the Ballista SSBN but also mounted on the Okita, to keep in contact with the Admiralty on long patrols.

She was also armed wtih the QS-N-70, which gave the Okita a heavy advantage against ASW pickets, allowing her to knock out a destroyer easily from out of HELO range, picking it up by GPS relay from the ORBNEL-44. She was also given a heavily advanced SONAR suite, which was almost twice as powerful as the one mounted no the Kurukaze, while being proportionally quieter even in passive.

Project 960 Taranmyo
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k250/IJNYamamoto/IS%20PTC/Project960Taranymo.gif
Overview:

The Taranymo was the quieter of the two Questarian nuclear attack subs, with a waterjet and much more hydrodynamic features, she was the perfect attack submarine - silent, well armed, and long ranged. She carried the explosive halberd type 810mm heavy torpedo, capable of knocking cruisers out with a single blow - in tests, anyway - and was often seen surfaced by trawlers on the Uzumo Trench, flying the flag among the Vaamos Confrontation, where Questarian trawlers were routinetly apprehended and their nets cut.

The seven compartmented submarine was built on a titanium-dual hull, after the titanium industry was rebuilt, and the submarine was put into full production, with quality control monitorings from the commissariat - yards that did not enforce strict rules were severely prosecuted, especially a case where Jeffrey Thompson's Submergible Yard was shut down and many supervisors taken to labour camps to learn the 'real meaning of hard work.'

She was also given the same SONAR and communication suites as the Okita, and similar missile capabilities, although this time they were all tube launched, which meant that the sub could only mount QS-N-62 and 64, and in general the three port tubes were for missiles and the two starboard were for torpedoes, although they were easily interchangeable.

The Taranmyos outlasted the Okitas, being sold off and replaced by a future nuclear attack submarine, but evnetually these majestic and beloved by both sailors and public alike (for different reasons - the Taranmyos were the first submarines of the new co-ed navy, and high automation gave the crew more space than any other submarine). Many a tear was shed when pictures of dozens of Taranmyos lying rusting in scrappers yards were broadcast.

NUCLEAR / CONVENTIONAL GUIDED MISSILE SUBMARINES

PROJECT 656 'Rusyuna'
?
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k250/IJNYamamoto/IS%20PTC/Project656Rusyuna.gif
Overview:

The Rusyuna was possibly one of the oddest submarines ever designed by Oscar Reid Barham's Submergible Design Team - it was extremely fast, and it carried the hypersonic SCRAMjet missile, the QS-N-70, labeled the Submerse-Launch Objective Radar Guided Anti Shipping Missile, which carried a 1150 kg warhead and struck its target at extremely high speeds.

The Rusyuna gave good performance, long range, and high speeds, but she was loud, and described by the crews as a deathtrap, an image which the loss of the Yajiro did nothing to assist - the submarine was lost as the high speeds rattled a missile out of its holding and exploded, destroying the submarine and all aboard. Nevertheless, she held the most powerful Questarian electronics and communications suites, with SONAR performance said to be the best in the Questarian Navy. She was a well kept secret, and she probably could have gone faster if it were not for her single prop; the shape and the propulsion of the Rusyuna meant it was very similar to the Okita class, and the Juumanistran Navy was not entirely sure of the existence of the Rusyuna until a photograph was accidentally leaked onto the internet. After the loss of the Yajiro, more and more information was leaked, and the Rusyuna classes became somewhat of a rarity, whereas before they had patrolled often, picking up Juumanistran convoys and receiving information via satellites for missile guidance. The Rusyuna was a threat to Juumanistran shipping, with its long ranged missiles and high speed, but she was eventually hunted down and the class became slowly phased out, until the last, the Rusyuna herself was left, from a class of only twenty. These majestic submarines formed the core of the Long Range Sub-Launched Missile Fleets.

The submarine is built around seven compartments and a double hull constructed of titanium. Special Hardened Titanium was used for the hulls, allowing the boats to go to excessive depths to hide for days. Heavy automation gave the boats long endurance times and meant for better information processing.

Despite being a deathtrap, they were comfortable to serve on for the long endurance that many sailors spent crusing six hundred metres underwater. Compared to most modern submarines from nations like Praetonia, Sarzonia, or Isselmere, however, the conditions were still somewhat spartan.

PROJECT 841 'KURAKAZE
Designated SSGN Gylippus by Juumanistran Navy
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k250/IJNYamamoto/IS%20PTC/Project841Kurakaze-1.gif
Overview:
The Kurakaze, designated the Gylippus by Juumanistran Navy, was one of the most widely produced Questarian submarines. She was able to operate at an extremely low depth, below anti submarine range for long periods of time very quietly. Her powerful armament was capable of doing serious damage to convoys and the QS-N-62 as it was designated by Juumanistra, was capable of sinking a destroyer if a direct hit was attained. Some twelve hundred Kurakazes were built and just over a thousand were in service at the peak of the Questarian Submarine Fleet. Later variants suffered from quality control and bad service with their nuclear reactors, evident when Captain JG Uzake attempted to defect to Juumanistra with his submarine after being turned down for several reactor maintenance requests.

The submarine is built around seven compartments and a double hull constructed of titanium. For the first several hundred the titanium had to be imported from Praetonia because of the mine shortage and the failings of the titanium industry to compete, although this ended when the government nationalised the heavy metal industry.

The Kurukaze was a fairly loud submarine and its presence shadowing convoys was often considered a training exercise by Juumanistran ASW helicopters and ships until amendments were made to the design to make it somewhat stealthier and the doctrine was changed considerably. Meetings between the Kurukazes and foreign convoys happened more than often, and Juumanistran sailors recall raising pornography magazines, or putting them into bottles and throwing them over at surfacing 841s, for the edification of the somewhat deprived Questarian sailors.

NUCLEAR / CONVENTIONAL HUNTER KILLER SUBMARINES

PROJECT 455
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k250/IJNYamamoto/IS%20PTC/Project455.gif
Overview:
The Project 455 was designed to be a quiet SSK for operation in either close waters or with fleet tenders, which indeed it did in the Vaamos Confrontation - the Type 455 Milton Precinct was involved in the sinking of the Vaamosian Aircraft Carrier Hugo Frentez, sneaking up just under torpedo arming range to hit the ASW escort cruiser Almirante Boroz, knocking out its antiquated propulsion system and sinking the ship with a second heavy missile.

The Project 455 was conceived at the beginning of the Submergible Expansion Programme as a coast patrol and a super-quiet attacker for operations like the sinking of the Hugo Frentez, which was actually carried out by a nuclear attack submarine.

She was, in comparison wtih other Questarian submarines, pleasurable to serve on, and also safe, with a double-hulled construction - though this time with steel - and pressurised bulkheads inbetween her six compartments, she could take a holing and still surface to escape from maximum depth. The armament was also strong, and the Admiralty claimed the Project 455 could sink a battleship in the 250,000 ton range.

The armament consisted of three tubes port and starboard, three starboard for the Explosive Halberd heavy torpedo and two port for the QS-N-62/64.

Like the Taranmyo, the Project 455 was eventually collected in scrappers yards and left to rust, the last few being sold off or kept as training vessels. The Project 455, aside from the Vaamos Confrontation, did very little apart from patrol work, and her inglorious career was finished with an inglorious end at the breakers axe.

NUCLEAR BALLISTIC ROCKET SUBMARINES

PROJECT 833 'BALLISTA'
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k250/IJNYamamoto/IS%20PTC/Project833Ballista.gif
Overview:
The 833 Ballista was the primary ballistic submarine of the submarine fleet, used extensively in the Eastern Fleet, the Northern Fleet, and the Western Fleet, with stations in the channel where the Ballistas would have launched the opening salvos of ICCMs if a second war was ever to break out.

Her primary armament, besides the explosive halberd type 810mm torpedos, was the kamikaze 'divine wind' type SLBM. The kamikaze was a three staged, solid fuel MIRV with 8 warheads - each with 125 kt yield, or for the ICCM QS-N-10, a 2500kg warhead, with a reported range of at least 13,000km.

The Ballista fleet suffered from poor training, and a secret commissariat document stated that it would be possible that only 33% (!) of Ballista crews would actually push the button if neccessary. The ORBNEL-90 was a specially developed system that was highly secret and highly powerful - however, it was very rarely used in excercises, as targets were encoded into ship's databases and the commissariat was too scared of Juumanistran intelligence finding out the Ballista targets, of which many were civilian targets - the Ballista fleet was often on patrol on the Western Fleet, their missiles aimed at primary naval bases, airbases, and cities.

She was a nine-compartmented boat with two pressurised hulls made from titanium, and she was actually pleasurable to serve on, with co-ed crew reporting long range Ballista patrols as a welcome change to training and excercises.

SUBMARINE TENDERS / OTHER SUBMERGIBLES

Yzuka Class Submarine Tender
Overview:
The Yzuka was developed as a sitting base in the middle of oceans that was intended to be resupplied by a patrolling aircraft carrier, as was the case in many situations. A Yzuka suppled approximately thirty submarines with food and armament and in some cases mail - indeed, the smaller SSNs and SSKs were not equipped with internet and had to rely on traditional mail.

For submarines operating in the arctic, the Yzuka had an icebreaking variant. ORB and IS Ptc are also selling this variant. It's hull weighs an extra 9,250 tons and it is equipped with an enlarged HELO pad.

We are always seeking to improve our navy; and tales of the Questers Suface navy are of course Legendary. therefore we would like to commison Questers if posable to design us an NS grade Guided Missile Submarine with an extramly high payload in exess of one hundred and twenty Tomohawk Class Curise Misiles. simular to the American Refited Ohio class; however we must insist on some form of Waterjet propulsion supirior to our current Vanguard Class SSBNs.

Money is no object; we give you an essential blank check for this endevor and will pay all research costs but we would ask to be able to produce the commisoned Submarine ourselves as well as granting you full rights to sell the design on of course so that both our natons can benifit from any new technolgy developed

thank you for your time.
We hope to hear from you soon.

Kara Pentaguast

We'll see what we can do. You sure you wanna use tomahawk? Its really outdated on NS...

To: Chairman V. Hyogorami
From: Mr. White, foreign affairs officer

As of late our Emperor has taken note of your organization and your products. Our government, specifically our Navy, have taken an interest in these products, and as such petitioned our Emperor to expand our arsenal to include these munitions.

Now I approach you, on behalf of the Dominion of Emperor Pudu XLII. Our Imperial Navy is interested in the procurement of a number of your weapons systems, with which to arm our own craft.

Specifically, we seek the domestic production rights for;

the 'Explosive Halberd' heavy torpedo,
the 'Surprise Attack' standard torpedo,
the 'Atomic Shark' nuclear heavy torpedo,
the QS-N-62 anti-shipping missile,
the QS-N-64 advanced anti-shipping missile,
as well as the QS-N-70 sub-launched anti-shipping missile.

We would then refit the suitable existing submarines and surface vessels to fire these most effective munitions. Our government, although not having dealt with your corporation specifically, has been in the past been greatly satisfied with Questerian naval ingenuity, and our expectations have not been dulled by this most recent exhibition.

Good day,
Mr. White.

Pudu, that'll cost you 25 billion~ USD.

Still working on that giant SSGN Animarnia, I'll prolly use it myself. Is it ok if I design a custom missile for it (you can assume that you have prod rights for said missile)?

Our Naval Department has wired the funds to your account. We offer our thanks for your cooperation with our initiative to expand our naval arsenal, and will look to you in the future for our needs in this area.

Good day,
Mr. White.

Pudu, that'll cost you 25 billion~ USD.

Still working on that giant SSGN Animarnia, I'll prolly use it myself. Is it ok if I design a custom missile for it (you can assume that you have prod rights for said missile)?

Sure; thats fine with me.

Sweet.
