The Shaw class ASW destroyers was originally designed in 1975 to serve as a blue water ASW destroyer and convoy escort. As a result the ships had some the most advanced sonar suites ever fielded at that time. Though the design is over 30 years now, new build Shaw class destroyers are stil lamong the world's most capable ASW platforms, and with th addition of the Mk 45 VLS are capable of undertaking both area air defence and land attack missions using the SM-2/3 SAM and Tomahawk cruise missile respectively. No ship offers more capabilty for such a competitive price and the Shaw class is an excellent ship to build your navy aroung.

In addition TME offers the Commonwealth class corvette for your consideration.

The Commonwealth class corvette is designed as a low cost, modular platform to fulfill a variety of littoral and blue water missions. The interchangable modules allow the ship to conduct the full range of missions as a larger ship, but in a smaller, cheaper platform. The Commonwealth features state of the art electronics, high speed, greatly reduced signatures on radar, sonar, and IR sensors and posseses considerable lethality for a vessel of its size.

Antisubmarine Warfare
Antisurface Warfare
Antiaircraft Warfare
Special Operations Support
Mine Countermeasures

Cost:
base vessel: $450 million
modules: $75.3 million for a full set including all five modules
