Delkorian Iron Works


Here you can order new Battleships and/or Battlecruisers for your Navy. Keep in mind, these powerful vessels still require air support for protection. And while the battleship may be outdated due to Naval air power, they still provide much national pride and have a powerful image. Not many nations can boast to opperate a Battleship as their flagship. For those who can, we offer many designs to choose from, with more under development.
All vessels are built to order, and buyers can personalize a design. For example, say you like the Type B, but want a larger gun, or less armor for more speed. We will custom-build your perfect ship. Choose from our list, and place your order today!

Keep in Mind:
-Please do your own math
-1 NS year = 1 RL day

Delievery to Northern Baltic confirmed. Total is $50 billion.



West Corinthia:

Funds wired

The Republic of Greston would like to buy 5 Type A Battleships, 2 Type B Battleships, 3 Type E Battleships, and 2 Type I Batlleships, the total cost is 23 billion.

ooc: you guys are aware that these old things are death traps on the mt nationstates battlefield, aren't you?

Not one of these designs is younger than 60 years old (the type E has that honour, as she's based on the Alaska), and thus are absolutely no match for modern weaponry.

OOC: Who said I was taking them into battle? I could use them for target practice, cruise ships, give them to pirates, did I mention cruise ships?

IC: Funds wired.

Greston:
Order confirmed. Build times are as follows:
Group I - 5 Type A - 2 NS years
Group II - 2 Type B + 3 Type E - 3 NS years
Group III - 2 Type I - 2 NS years
Total confirmed at $23 billion.

Greal:
Order confirmered for 1 Type G battleship. Build time is 3 NS years.



(ooc: I'm sticking with guns. I wanted to build traditional capitol ships, for those who like them. And I wanted to leave the naming to buying nations, so they can name their own ships.)
