The Dragonfish Class Missile Submarine is The Ryou Navy's new Sub. In the fight against The Fordock Controled DFP, This Submarine will be a great asset in The Civil War

Will Be on sale on The Storefront as soon as Posable.

OOC: Some more description would be adequate and the general layout of the sub should be specified, not all submarines follow Soviet convention or American convention for that matter. The classification is confusing as it has 24 ballistic missiles (Neptune-90's are ballistic I presume?) but your definition of the role they will be filling is lacking. I'd guess it is a boomer but ... whatever.

Considering it's a nearly perfect copy of the Project 949 (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/949-specs.htm), I think it's safe to say it's a cruise missile sub.

That (the fact that it was plagiarised) is very disappointing.
