As part of its extensive reorganization the Tolvanic Navy has decided to retire its force of Shaw class ASW destroyers early to make room for newer platforms. While twelve of the ships will be retained in reserve the remaining 24 vessels are now available for sale or donation to other navies. The ships have an estimated 20-25 years of service life left and all have been refurbished prior to retirement.

Propulsion: 2x General Marine LM3600 gas turbines; 80,000 shp (60 MW); 2 x shafts
Speed: 32.5 knots (60 km/h)
Range: 6,000 nautical miles (11 000 km) at 20 knots (37 km/h); 3,300 nautical miles (6000 km) at 30 knots (56 km/h)
Complement: 22 officers, 325 enlisted

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 still among the world's most capable ASW platforms, and with the 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. Few other ships offer more capabilty for such a competitive price and the Shaw class is an excellent ship to build your navy around.
