( Smart Idea, I would definitely buy it, but this is definitely not low budget especially if its for small nations. )

(The arleigh burke class costs 100 mil more, and is far less advanced or powerfull, its not cheap, but speaking in context of the cost of ships its cheap)

(Yes but this should be aimed not at poor nations but at ones with larger military budgets...like me. I like the idea though, personally I want to buy a few right now and bulk up my cruiser fleets, which are pretty much limited to the Kirov Battlecruiser.)

From: John Jaquardi, Chief of the Military Acquisition and Purchase Department for the Operation of the Ralkovian National Navy,(MAPDORNN)

We at MAPDORNN would like to buy 20 Manticore Class Cruisers if they are able to withstand the frigid temperatures of the artic water and have a strong enough front hull to withstand ice. The Manticores will play a primary role in the defense of the newly acquired northwestern province of Frazidge. If these ships are durable enough to handle the water we will buy an additional 40-100 more to bulk up the ralkovian national navy in all regions of the world.

If the Manticores cannot handle the water and ice but you would like to make a special version that can we would be willing to pay the appropriate price for the additional armor, engines, etc.

We are not interested in the aircrafts though. We believe the total will come out to 20.4 billion dollars unless there are additions that need to be made to the ships. We await eagerly for the new ships.

The Santherese Ministry of Defense has voted to purchase one cruiser to supplement and each of our 18 House carrier groups. Should they be found to perform above expectation, the individual Houses may elect to purchase more on their own time, with their own funds.

The aircraft package will be unnecessary. We request you ship them as they are completed, rather than in any bulk.

On a more serious note, my naval ensign is this (http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr337/NSAdenia/Flags%20and%20Insignia/RNSEnsignMkIII.png), but a Bismarck camo would be awesome. You'd have a sale for a flagship then.

To: GENII NAVAL INDUSTRIES
From: John Jaquardi, Chief of the Military Acquisition and Purchase Department for the Operation of the Ralkovian National Navy,(MAPDORNN)

(I'm assuming that the first 10 have arrived already)
The Ralkovian Naval Ship Review Committee has fallen in love with the manticore. We would like you to know that the manticore has been credited with killing 11 enemy ships: 2 aircraft carriers, 6 destroyers, 2 light battle cruisers, and a surfaced SSBN. The cruiser group incurred only a single loss and minimal damage to 2 cruisers, that is why we are interested in buying 300 more cruisers without aircraft. We have calculated the price at 306 billion dollars. The first half will be sent upon confirmation the second half upon the completion.

We would like 190 to be painted in bismarck camo, 100 to be painted in ice breaker armor(with the thicker frontal armor), and 10 to be painted in ralkovian death guard naval branch colors, green with black circles and the roman numeral IV painted on the side in a maroon or dark red color with a white outline.

The death guard would also like to know if you can increase speed you will be paid accordingly if this is done. If the ralkovian death guard naval branch finds the cruisers as useful as the national navy does than you can expect more business from our colonies and recommendation to our allies to buy some more of your excellent ships.

We look forward to the orders.

Sincerely,

John Jaquardi

From: Genii Naval Industries

We do most kindly appreciate your business and even now construction of your cruisers has begun. The sheer scale of the manticore project has refined the construction hugely, cutting over 4 months from the build time. A total of 60 Dry Docks have been assigned to cater to your order, in the quantities specified.

Total build time is expected at just over 3 years 6 months.

OOC: I'm having trouble getting the death guard colours down, if you could send me a pretty basic image of what i should look like it would be a real help.
