Vindictive-class Submersible Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier (SSCVN)
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/th_Underwater_aircraft_carrier_by_Voug.jpg (http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/?action=view&current=Underwater_aircraft_carrier_by_Voug.jpg)

The Vindictive-class, the largest submarine built by Hypersphere Technologies and operated in any Strangereal Navy, originating from Birkaine, is the result of extensive studies to provide the Birkainian Navy with a means for unparallel power projection that was coupled with the stealthiness of a normal submarine. These large ships mostly operate as flagships for the Birkainian Navy in limited numbers, although they can be produced on a wider scale by Hypersphere technologies. This carrier uses an advanced magneto hydrodynamic propulsion system for propulsion, with a more conventional set of pumpjets to be used when Anti-submarine patrols are nearby, which makes the Vindictive a very flexible weapons platform.

With three aircraft elevators and three catapults located in different points of the main runway this carrier can operate both ASTOVL and conventional aircrafts, and modifications can be cheaply made to provide it with the adequate signaling for VTOL aircrafts and helicopters. Its large hangars can store up to 35 medium-sized aircrafts along with the respective amount of fuel and spares.

Provided with six torpedo tubes for self-defense against naval and submarine targets, these torpedo tubes can be adapted to fit the customer’s requirements and allow it to use the respective nation’s arsenal. This trait is shared with the 32 VLS lightweight missile tubes located on the sides, able to fire a wide variety of cruise missiles and SAMs, which makes the Vindictive-class an excellent choice for any nation that desires to have unparalleled force projection abilities without the vulnerability of normal aircraft carriers. The Vindictive-class’ radar, sonar and defensive weaponry will be provided according to the customer’s desires.

Specifications (Standard model):
Length: 325.8 meters
Width: 62.1 meters
Propulsion:
-2x OK-650 Nuclear Reactor
-2x Diesel Turbine
--1x MHD-2 caterpillar drive located on the stern
--2x pumpjet engines
Speed: 15 knots while submerged.
Compliment: 1300 men and officers.
Electronic Warfare and sensors:
--MGK-540 active/passive suite
--Flank arrays
--Pelamida towed array sonar
--MG-70 mine detection sonar
--MG-74 Korund noise simulation decoys
--MT-70 Sonar intercept receiver
--Nikhrom-M IFF
Armament:
--6x 533mm torpedo tubes with space up to thirty torpedoes
--32x Vertical launch tubes with space for up to 3 tomahawk missiles each.

Price tag:
$4.5 billion USD. The pack includes fuel and other systems the consumer might desire. Additional modifications might add to the final price. For maximum effectivity we recommend the Vindictive-class to be equipped with F-35C Lightning II fighters, although most carrier aircrafts are able to operate from this submarine with little to no modifications.



Bahuvirhis-class Submersible Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier (SSCVN)
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/th_BahuvrihisI.gif (http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/?action=view&current=BahuvrihisI.gif)

Even though smaller than the Vindictive-class and lacking its aircraft capacity, the Bahuvirhis-class submarine makes up by being an extremely versatile weapons platform able to execute pretty much any task it might be assigned to. Possessing a missile arsenal rivaling that of arsenal ships, The Bahuvirhis-class is able to engage and destroy any surface targets it might encounter, while still keeping anti-submarine capacity in the form of several torpedo tubes and very advanced sonar systems located in the prow.

Propelled by a versatile caterpillar MHD drive, it is able to reach any corner in the world with minimum noise, when it will be able to strike with either its impressive missile arsenal or deploy several VTOL attack aircrafts it can carry onboard. The standard payload is of 3 F-35B lightning II fighters, 2 AH-70 Navajo attack helicopters and a single Eagle Eye UAV for battlefield monitoring. To allow the sub to remain stable during aircraft launches & landings, the Bahuvirhis-class utilizes a gyroscopic system originally developed for early Ballistic Missile Subs that could not launch while submerged. The aircraft carried aboard can be removed for twelve Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAAV), to quickly and efficiently carry out small-scale landing operations; making the Bahuvirhis unmatched in versatility.

This versatile submarine is currently only used by the Birkainian, Belkalandian, & Ustian Navies, although it is now able to be purchased by any country.

Specifications (Standard model):
Length: 325.2
Width: 50.1 meters (not counting stabilizers)
Propulsion:
-1x S1B Nuclear Reactor
--4 Pumpjets
--1x MHD-2 caterpillar drive located throughout the middle line of the hull.
Speed: 18 to 25 knots while submerged.
Compliment: 800 men and officers.
Electronic Warfare and sensors:
--sonar (bow, flank, active intercept, and towed arrays)
--periscopes (attack and search)
--collision avoidance radar
Armament:
--6x 533mm torpedo tubes with space up to forty torpedoes
-- ~400x lightweight VLS tubes adapted to fire many types of missiles including the Tomahawk cruise missile, small, specialized ballistic missiles and the S-400 Triumph surface to air missile in varying amounts.

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/th_BahuvrihisII.png (http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/?action=view&current=BahuvrihisII.png)
Another version built in limited numbers by Hypersphere LTD, the Bahuvirhis II, sacrifices a few launch tubes to carry two 16-inch triple mount turrets inherited from battleships, one slightly in front of the sail and the other in front of the VLS module; both in sealed hangars that open when the ship has surfaced. This provides the Bahuvirhis of impressive coastal bombardment ability, and proved popular with nations and commanders that are not willing to have all weapons replaced by missiles.

Price tag:
$5.5 billion USD for Bahuvirhis I and $5.55 billion for Bahuvirhis II. This does not include the missile load. The price for the complete package with missiles included is $6.1 billion for Bahuvirhis I and $6.0 billion for Bahuvirhis II. Even though they can be bought without the missiles, Hypersphere gives a bonus to the clients that purchase the full package, in the form of a free Global Hawk UAV and several discount coupons for Birkainian tourism.



Conversion packs
Despite their versatility and lethality, some countries regard the Bahuvirhis and Vindictive classes of submarine carriers as too much of an investment. Hypersphere takes this into consideration, and offers the most cost-effective solution for the nations that desire stealthy force projection: Conversion packs.

The underwater carrier conversion packs are the perfect solution for aging submarines to become effective war machines once more, and at the same time providing cost-effective alternatives to normal aircraft carriers. Currently the two packs manufactured by Hypersphere are conversions for the Typhoon and Ohio classes.


http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/th_Ohio-ClassCarrierRefit.png (http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/?action=view&current=Ohio-ClassCarrierRefit.png)

While sacrificing the missile-carrying capacity of the Ohio, this conversion to an aircraft carrier allows it to effectively surface at a safe distance outside of the enemies’ defensive range and launch attacks with the stealthy F-35B Lightning II fighters, ideal for destroying coastal installations such as refineries and defensive coastal batteries with relative ease. The F-35s are stored in an internal hangar in the middle section of the ship, along with the fuel and necessary equipment. Even though they are formidable warships by themselves, these converted Ohios are best used in groups. The recommended aircraft for the converted Ohio is the F-35B VTOL fighter, although it can operate other aircraft such as Harriers and Yak-141s without any modifications. Up to two aircraft might be launched at once. This converted Ohio keeps its anti-submarine capability, keeping the effective sonar and torpedo tubes of the initial model.


http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/th_TyphoonCarrierrefit.png (http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/?action=view&current=TyphoonCarrierrefit.png)

The second pack, designed to turn the Typhoon-class submarine into a very effective and deadly VTOL carrier, putting Mi-24 gunships and Ka-52 helicopters to good use. This allows it to deploy attack helicopters and aircrafts from where the enemy least expects it, thus being very effective in the task of taking by surprise and destroying armored divisions with great efficiency and ease. Even though it was designed to be mainly a helicopter carrier, it can carry aircrafts such as Harriers, F-35s and Yak-141s without the need for any modification. This submarine uses technology developed from the Bahuvirhis-class in the form of its hangar hatches, that can open at any given time and allow all the aircraft inside to come out (and later land) unhindered, and can even be fitted with lights to provide good signaling.

All the initial equipment such as powerplant and sonar of the Typhoon and Ohio submarines is kept for maximum economical efficiency, although further modifications to the submarine might be ordered by the client at any time. Differences in the dimensions or performance in the submarines are almost nonexistent.

Price tag:
$800 million for the Ohio conversion pack and $1.3 billion for the Typhoon conversion pack. This makes the conversion packs into the most cost effective way to have effective power projection for your forces. However, take in mind that Hypersphere LTD builds neither the Typhoon nor Ohio class. The ship must have been previously bought from another manufacturer for Hypersphere to modify it.



Krasnodar-class SSBN
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/th_KrasnodarClass1.jpg (http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/?action=view&current=KrasnodarClass1.jpg)

Rather than an alternative, the Vihenian Krasnodar-class nuclear ballistic missile submarine is a compliment to the other submarines produced by Hypersphere. Lacking any aircraft carrying capacity, the Krasnodar is meant to be a silent and deadly missile platform, designed to remain hidden until it is ordered to fire its ballistic missiles. The Krasnodar possesses an impressive array of ballistic missiles and can carry both conventional and nuclear payloads. The conventional payload of the extremely deadly Bulava missile is boosted by five tubes capable of carrying a submarine-launched version of the monstrous R-36 missile, more commonly known as SS-18 Satan, giving it unparalleled firepower, both nuclear and conventional, giving it tremendous firepower, both nuclear and conventional. The larger missiles are stored in a large module on the rear part of the sail while the smaller ones* are stored in the middle part of the ship.

While not being optimized as a submarine carrier, the Krasnodar keep’s Hypersphere’s usual amount of versatility by adapting the submarine to use the Cormorant SLUCAV. While it can be launched relatively easily, there is no means to recover the UCAV, and it should be only used when enemy anti-submarine aircrafts get too close. After it has run out of ammunition, the Cormorant can be programmed to crash against an enemy target.

Cormorant launching out of the water (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/CormarantSL-UCAV.jpg)

The Krasnodar’s six 533mm torpedo tubes are optimized for the launch of both torpedoes for anti-submarine duty and cruise missiles even while fully submerged.

The payload can be changed to cruise missiles or anti-ship missiles at any given time with no modifications.

Price tag:
$1.3 billion as a standalone and $1.6 billion with a complete missile payload and additional fuel. Cormorant SLUCAVs will be provided along with the submarine if the full pack is purchased.



Hydrurga-class fast attack submarine
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/th_RESULT.jpg (http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/?action=view&current=RESULT.jpg)

The Hydrurga-class fast attack submarine, or SSN, is designed by Hypersphere to act as an escort for the bigger classes of submarines offered, although it is a very capable war machine on its own.

Inherited from Neucom Inc; the design incorporates many cutting-edge features such as a diesel turbine system and an air-independent proton-exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cell system. For unparalleled stealthiness, allowing it to be both an invisible protection for the heavier submarines and to sneak up on enemy fleets and other naval targets for devastating effect. The advanced powerplant is linked to a full-hull magneto hydrodynamic drive to allow for maximum efficiency, although it is able to switch for more conventional thrust-vectored pumpjets at any time.

The Hydrurga-class of fast attack submarines possesses several VLS tubes used mainly for firing torpedoes and ASROCs with as less noise as possible. It incorporates extremely advanced sonar and other sensors, plus a retractable AA and SAM mount inside a hatch on the prow to allow for air defense while surfaced.

Specifications:
Length: 57.8 meters
Width: 8.1 meters
Propulsion:
-2x 2 HDW/Siemens PEM fuel cells
-1x Diesel Turbine
--1x MHD-2 caterpillar drive located throughout the hull
--2x pumpjet turbines
Speed: 35 knots while submerged.
Compliment: 24 men and officers.
Electronic Warfare and sensors:
--STN Atlas DBQS40 sonar suite:
----TAS-3 passive low-frequency towed array sonar (deployed from sail)

Dinsmark-class SSK
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/th_Dinsmark-classSSK.png (http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/?action=view&current=Dinsmark-classSSK.png)

Developed by the Hypersphere LTD conglomerate as a cheaper alterative to the Type 212 U-Boat, the Dinsmark-class SSK is a short to medium-range escort & patrol U-boat. Using comparable systems made by corporations within the Hypersphere LTD conglomerate to lower the costs, the Dinsmark-class SSK is capable of doing most jobs asked of the Type 212 U-boat. Unfortunately, due to the smaller size of the Dinsmark-class, the 212 can perform such duties for a longer period of time. Thankfully, this weakness is made up by the fact that the Dinsmark-class is significantly cheaper to purchase & operate.

Tatum-Class SSCN(Submersible Nuclear-powered Cruiser)
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/th_TatumIIClassSSCGN-1.png (http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/?action=view&current=TatumIIClassSSCGN-1.png)
Side View of a Tatum-Class SSCN

One of the many seemingly-impossible naval ambitions of the surprisingly seafaring (being a colony-less mainland nation) Birkanians, along with the assault super dreadnought, the iceberg aircraft carrier and the super battlecarrier, has always been the U-cruiser.

Nobody knows where the initial idea came out in Birkaine, although the concept itself comes from one of the Nazi Germany’s many radical (and to most, nonsensical) projects in World War Two, where it was simply known as the U-cruiser. The idea of a submarine that was capable of engaging enemy vessels while surfaced was loved by the Birkanian Navy, and for decades the Birkanian shipyards tried over and over again to make the dreamed U-cruiser into a reality, a ship able to sneak up on convoys, outrun anything that it couldn’t outshoot, and simply submerge once the job had been done to look for another prey to silently attack.

Artist Impression of the Tatum-Class (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/BkNVTatum.jpg)

As submarine warfare progressed, the U-cruiser encountered many delays. It seemed that making such a vessel was simply beyond the capability of the Birkanians, or maybe even beyond modern shipbuilding. One of these delays was the Birkanian Civil War, which finally grinded the development of the U-cruiser to a stop.

The new government took up this project some decades later, more out of curiosity than anything else (The Vihenians already having a far greater submarine fleet which Birkaine could not hope to equal at that time), and finally a ship was launched, this being the Redrum-class submersible cruiser. However, the ship had a lot of design flaws, such as the massive hatches of the ship being a problem, as they tended to leak heavily. The submarine was noisy, had a low maximum diving depth, and was not effective as a submarine or as a cruiser; but at least now there was something in the water.

Following the tragic accident of the Redrum-class K-55 which cost 450 sailors their lives, all of the (relatively few) submersible cruisers were ordered not to operate underwater except in cases of extreme necessity, and finally they were all retired, and now spend their lives as museum ships, military transports (rather mediocre ones at that) and floating submarine-themed restaurants.

However, valuable data was recovered from this accident, and a few uncompleted Redrum hulls (only 14 of the planned 50 ever made it into the water) were heavily modified with a new, less ambitious design, and thus the Tatum-class was born, finally turning the Birkanian dream of an effective submersible cruiser into a reality, after nearly 70 years of failure that cost the Birkanians hundreds of lives and billions of dollars. As such, these vessels are cherished by the Birkanian populace, and the admirals of the Navy and naval architects can now finally sleep well, knowing that their leaders will not continue to annoy them with their nonsensical projects of submersible surface combat vessels and ICBM-launching flamethrower airborne tanks.

Firing 4 5in. guns from 2 half teardrop shaped turrets, the Tatum-class’s firepower is further augmented by the usage of ERGM-type shells. As with any ship that’ll operate on the surface, the Tatum has to have some form of air defense. This comes in the form of the RIM-9X Sea Sidewinder, a sea based variant of the quick maneuvering AIM-9X. Unfortunately, due to the limitation of space on board the Tatum, only 28 RIM-9Xs are available for usage.

FQ-7

2 FQ-7 Shredders during a live weapons training exercise (http://i43.tinypic.com/2u71vrc.jpg)

The FQ-7, nicknamed the ‘Shredder’ by pilots, Is a stealthy multirole UCAV is a fast and agile unmanned strike aircraft widely used in the Birkainian Air Force and recently made available for purchase. Its advanced composite structure and RAM coating give it a small RCS enough to allow it to strike at heavily defended targets without any risk for a pilot. Completely multifunctional, the FQ-7 can take on many roles including air superiority, air defense neutralization and ground attack roles without need for any modification.

Renders of the FQ-7 (http://i42.tinypic.com/dcpv05.jpg) and the F-7B (http://i44.tinypic.com/14siavo.jpg)

While the standard FQ-7 is an unmanned plane capable of both being controlled by a ground station and operating autonomously, a manned variant of the airframe designated F-7B (not to be confused with the Cutlass) is built by Hypersphere Technologies. The F-7B is built for countries that do not want their air force replaced by UCAVs, and it’s especially designed to act as a flight leader for a squadron of UCAVs.


Statistics:
Type: Multirole
Length: 16.2 meters
Wingspan: 15.9 meters
Speed: Mach 2.5 at altitude
Service Ceiling: 55.000ft
Electronic equipment:
--AN/APG-81 AESA radar
--MIL-STD-1773 Data bus
--AN/AAS-37
Weaponry:

Hy-1
3 Hy-1s in a clean configuration in route to the Vihenian Federation (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/Hy-1.jpg)

The Hy-1, the first original design by Hypersphere Ltd, is a medium-weight, single-engine, delta-winged, twin-tailed single seat multirole fighter with an all-moving forward canard plane. Unlike many aircraft being developed by Hypersphere’s rivals, the Hy-1 is a non stealthy aircraft. This is due in part by the desire to sell the Hy-1 to nations unable to afford expensive stealth fighters and to ensure that is was mass-producible.

2 Hy-1s in a high banking turn (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/Hy-12.jpg)

The Hy-1’s engine is a single BeE-100-5, a derivative of the F-135-400 used in the F-35C. It has 15% fewer parts and a 35% increase in thrust with a max output of 54,000 IbF. Because of this massive amount of thrust, the Hy-1’s top speed is near Mach 2.2. While a normal nozzle is standard, a 3D thrust vectoring nozzle is available for the engine.

The Hy-1’s radar is a variant of the F-16E/F Block 60’s AN/APG-80 called the AER-100, built by Hoffnung Technologies. The two radar systems are nearly identical save for the AER-100’s larger antenna. Because of the larger antenna, the range of the radar has increased 10%.

To allow the Hy-1 to fit into any nation’s Air Force, the fighter is capable of fielding almost every modern missile in production. This is possible by utilizing specially built pylons which can be switched out at a moments notice. There is in total 8 hardpoints, 4 fuselage stations & 4 wing stations. The #2 & #7 hardpoints are wet hardpoints for 1000L fuel tanks used by the Eurofighter Typhoon. And as with any good fighter, the Hy-1 is equip with an internal gun mounted in the left wing root just behind the intakes.

Hy-3
A Hy-3 showing off its looks & payload (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/Hy-31.png)

While the Hy-1 is a wonderful fighter, its primary mission is usually that of a bomb truck. In light of this, Hypersphere Ltd has designed an air-superiority fighter capable of keeping up with the F-22-class fighters. Called the Hy-3, its design is based off several fighters, such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault Rafale, Sukhoi Su-30 series, & the Boeing F-15S/MTD.

Taking the wing & canard design from the Rafale and the LERX of the Su-30 and then combining it with the TVC of the F-15S/MTD and the decoupled flight surfaces of the Typhoon, the Hy-3’s maneuverability is so great, that like the Raptor, governors had to be put in place so that the pilot could not pull too many Gs. In addition, the Hy-3 uses a helmet mounted display system (HMDS) in addition to the traditional HUD. This is done so that incase of a malfunction in either system, the other can keep the pilot aware of the situation.

In a move to cut down on cost and improve its logistical footprint, the Hy-3 is equipped with an engine based on the Eurofighter’s EJ200 Turbofan engine. Adding an additional low-pressure spool to the engine, the new engine increases the thrust from the EJ200’s 13,500 lbf dry thrust & 20,000 lbf with afterburner to 14,250 lbf dry thrust & 23,110 lbf with afterburner.

Carrying up to 12 missiles, the Hy-3 armament is very similar to that of the Typhoon & Rafale. However, it can be outfitted to carry missiles normally used by the Su-30 and other Soviet-designed fighters. And like the Hy-1, the Hy-3 is equipped with wet hardpoints on the #4 & #9 hardpoints.

Hy-7

While the Hy-1 & Hy-3 are multirole fighters, the Hy-7 is an interceptor, through & through.

Designed by Hypersphere Ltd. as a replacement for the MiG-31, the cranked-arrow winged Hy-7’s top speed is a blistering Mach 3.4, thanks to the Hy-7’s 2 afterburning BeE-101-10 low-bypass turbojet engines. Due to the heat that’s encountered at mach 3 speeds, the Hy-7 is constructed almost exclusively out of Titanium alloys. Another noticeable feature of the Hy-7 is its size. At 30.8 meters in length, it far surpasses the Tu-28 ‘Fiddler’ as the World’s Largest Production Fighter Aircraft. The reason for the immense size is for range & payload.

The payload of the Hy-7 uses a rotary launcher in the missile bay to carry up to 8 ultra-long range missiles. The aircraft can also switch out the rotary launchers to hold 2 XRAAMs. The XRAAM is, like the Hy-7, a massive missile. At 11.2 meters long, it dwarfs its nearest competitor, the Novator K-100, which ironically, the XRAAM is based on.

The radar that the Hy-7 uses is a derivative of the AER-100, the AER-105. It uses a much larger antenna to allow the Hy-7 to see out far enough to get a read on enemy targets and pick out the most dangerous of them. Because of the shear amount of power that comes from the radar, it must operate like the radar on the MiG-31 and be shut off when near the ground. In fact, it’s so powerful that the pilot & radar operator must wear special flight suits to prevent radiation sickness.

ADF-01F Falken
Early Flight Test of the Falken prototype (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/falken01.jpg)

The ADF-01F Falken, formerly known as the D/F-28 Sabre Air Dominance Fighter, is an advance fighter aircraft originally designed by Exterminatus Arms to supplement the YAL-1 & neutralize any and all fighter aircraft. Its primary mission is to gain & secure air superiority, but has a side mission to shoot down ICBMs & other ballistic missiles in the boost phase. It was the first of two aircraft designed and built as a joint operation between Exterminatus Arms and the Special Research & Projects Agency. Now it is for sale by Hypersphere Ltd.

Animation of the Falken’s TVC & Forward Canards (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/ADF-01_Falken_movement.gif)

The Falken utilizes the latest in modern technology – Advance Turbofan engines, Thrust Vectoring nozzles, forward swept wings, canard wings - to make it as fast and as agile as possible to achieve it's mission goals. In order for it to surpass modern jet fighters in terms of speed, it is fitted with two WWX-GD-425 Turbofan engines, which can punch the Falken to speeds of almost Mach 2.75. Its thrust vectoring nozzles, forward swept wings and canard wings offer superior handling when compared to some other fifth-generation fighters.

Pilots & engineers adjusting the COFFIN system on the original ADF-01F prototype (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/AC5Falken.jpg)

One of the ADF-01F's other distinguishing features is the lack of a glass cockpit. Instead, the Falken is fitted with a 360° celestial-spherical screen cockpit layout, giving the pilot an immense advantage in combat. Instead of a traditional glass canopy, the plane utilizes a prototype of the revolutionary COnnection For Flight INterface (COFFIN) system, which is similar in effect to a one-way mirror or an extremely tinted window. The pilot can still see out, but no one can see in. This is achieved via a series of real-time hexagonal monitors and external cameras that transmit the visual data to the pilot. This also allows for the HUD and targets to also be displayed at all angles, where as a normal aircraft can only show targets and data on its front HUD display. If a target were to leave that HUD on a normal plane, the pilot would not be able to see its green targeting square. On the Falken however, the monitors and a powerful computer eliminate that problem.

The Falken also mounts significant firepower. Coupled with its COFFIN system, the Falken mounts a multi-barrel 20mm cannon, internal hardpoints for AIM-9 Sidewinders & external hardpoints for MBDA Meteor BVRAAM missiles. But by far, the Falken's most powerful weapon is it's internally mounted High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System(HELLADS), a 150 kilowatt (kW) Laser Weapon System. However, the name of it is misleading, the laser is really a solid/liquid hybrid laser using a series of thin ceramic slabs, bathed in rapidly circulating coolant instead of the normal completely liquid or solid-state laser. The benefits of the hybrid design is that it has the size of a solid state laser(roughly the size of a refrigerator) and the efficient thermal management of a liquid laser. Because it is mounted internally, the aircraft has been designed around the weapon, and can therefore split along its horizontal axis in order to reveal and subsequently fire the weapon. The on-board power for the Falken only allows the laser to be fired a total of ten times, for a maximum of five seconds per shot.

Animation of the ADF-01F firing the HELLADS (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/TLSfiring.gif)

The HELLADS primary usage is as an ABM system, but the pilots that fly the Falken has discover it’s very effective against most fighters, however this is not due to it being able to burn through the enemy fighter as the laser is not strong enough to in the brief seconds it’ll have on the fighter. The reason it’s effective is that the laser is strong enough to permanently blind the pilot.

When the leader of a sea-fairing nation has a crisis in his nation, his first question is usually ‘Where are the aircraft carriers?’. Well, the question has now been answered, they’re on ocean floor thanks to the Hy-5 Supersonic Bomber.

Developed as a successor to the venerable Tu-95 Bear & Tu-160 Blackjack, the Hy-5 is a 4 engine, twin-tailed, super sonic cruise missile carrier platform. Its design is a cranked-arrow wing with its engines located in the fuselage in a 2x2 formation. The engines of the Hy-5 are the same as the ones used in the Hy-7 Interceptor, the BeE-101-10, giving the Hy-5 its top speed of Mach 2.6.

As stated before, the Hy-5 is a cruise missile carrier platform. As such, the Hy-5 can carry up to 14 cruise missiles. These missiles can range from the small JASSM to the massive Kh-22(AS-4 Kitchen) missile. 4 of the hardpoints are external with the remaining 10 being in the missile bay on a rotary launcher.

Attackers

MiG-21Z
Early computer model of the MiG-21Z (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/MiG-21ZComputermodel.png)

Originally designed by surprisingly the Birkainian Air Force itself, the MiG-21Z was the result of a rather unfortunate time for the Birkainian Air Force.

After the Birkainian Civil War, the Birkainian military was in disrepair and the Air Force was the worst of 3 branches. Many of their front line fighters were destroyed and what was left was old Fishbeds, some of them missing a wing. When word came from the new government that the Birkainian Navy would get priority over the Air Force, the Air Force ordered their mechanics to try and repair the out of commissioned Fishbeds. What they got was just the thing they needed.

Top view of the MiG-21Z showing how the 2 airframes are connected (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/MiG-21Z.png)

Taking 2 MiG-21s & combining them via a shared wing, the MiG-21Z was a cheap & easy to produce fighter-bomber. With 2 cockpits, 1 pilot could fly the plane while the second could operate the radar & guide the plentiful number of TV guided missiles in Birkainian service to their targets. After view a demonstration of the plane, the Birkainian leader, Gen. Victor Yulianov, ordered the plane be put into production by the few factories in operation at the time. It later became the mainstay aircraft of the Birkainian Air Force.

Now Hypersphere Ltd. is selling the MiG-21Z to nations that can’t afford even a 3rd Gen fighter or simple does not wish for the advance & extremely complex fighters. The MiG-21Z is available to the nations of the world with 2 options. The first option is simply a new-built airframe costing $8,000,000 USD. The second is to take your old MiG-21s, put them together and upgrade the electronics to the MiG-21-93 standard for $2,750,000 USD.

Su-47Z
3 view image of the Su-47Z (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/Su-47Z.png)

After seeing the effectiveness of the MiG-21Z and the recovery of the Birkainian economy, the Birkainian Air Force decided to request the development of a similar aircraft based on a more modern fighter. The Belkalandian company of Grunder Industries answered the request with the Su-47Z.

While the MiG-21Z is a fairly simple modification using the same airframe, the Su-47Z is wholly new airframe, only taking the nose & engines of the Su-47. Possessing neither canards nor a normal tail, the Su-47Z instead possesses an extremely angled twin rudders, so extreme that unless you saw it from the top or bottom, you’d think they were Ruddervators.

The payload of the Su-47Z is located in the massive missile bay on the bottom of the aircraft and under the wings. Capable of carrying up to nearly 10 and half tons of ordinance, the Su-47Z is a worthy successor to the MiG-21Z. And it’s not defenseless either, it has 2 smaller Raptor style missile bays on the side of the aircraft for IR missiles like the R-73(AA-11 Archer).

Transports

Hy-9
A Hy-9 Transport escorted by Hy-3s flying over the Waldreich Mountains (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/Hy-9.jpg)

At first glance, the Hy-9 looks like something out of a sci-fi movie as it looks organic. And for the most part, that’s exactly what was intended in its design. Developed as a semi-stealthy replacement for the C-130 series, the Hy-9 is a next-gen tactical transport plane for the modern battlefield.

It uses its organic shape to hide lower its RCS without the need for expensive RAM coating, how this is done is a Hypersphere Ltd. secret. The hull of the Hy-9 is all composite, so its weight is much less than the legacy C-130. To help lower the logistical footprint of the Hy-9, it uses many of the same components used in the C-130J, such as the Rolls-Royce AE 2100 turboprops with six-bladed composite scimitar propellers.

Special Aircraft

P-1112 ‘Aigaion’ Aerial Aircraft Carrier
An Aigaion on patrol over the Northern Sea (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/ace-combat-6-fires-of-liberation-20.jpg)

The P-1112 ‘Aigaion’ Aerial Aircraft Carrier was originally a design developed by the Ustio North-based Exterminatus Arms. However, with the recent flux in Ustio North’s political stance, Exterminatus Arms’s economical standing began to collapse. To save itself, Exterminatus Arms joined the stable Hypersphere Ltd conglomerate. With this move, the P-1112 Aigaion & other military hardware designs became assessable to Hypersphere Ltd.. Of the designs, only 3 were approved for sale by Hypersphere, one of which is the P-1112 Aigaion.

Su-33 fighters landing after a long-range patrol (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/938702_20071023_screen006.jpg).

The Aigaion is capable of launching and recovering up to 90 aircraft maximum, but 75 is the recommended number. To keep personnel off the flightline as much as possible during flight, the Aigaion employs several automated cranes & hooks that maneuver aircraft during the takeoff preparation & after landing. These cranes are what allow the Aigaion to operate fighters during flight.

As it is an airborne carrier, it acts as a moving, forward deployed ‘airfield’ which can travel great distances and is not limited by land mass. Due to its shear size, its hull has been specially designed so it can operate from a large body of water, which is the only place it can do so. Its wing structure is a box wing design, this allows greater amount of lift without having a much larger wing. It also has 32 high thrust, nuclear-powered jet engines mounted in pairs of 8 located in the wing root & toward the wingtip.

To defend itself, the Aigaion is equipped with 12 Point-Defense Anti-Aircraft guns located around the aircraft; 6 Flak Cannons along the raised sides of the runway; and finally, 8 AAM launcher ports located ahead of the Flak Cannon emplacements, a pair on the stern, and another pair along the sides of the ‘mouth’ of the Aigaion.

The Aigaion refueling its fuel storage tanks for its fighters (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/AerialFleet.jpg)

As with any nuclear-powered carrier, the Aigaion has 4 things that are needed at all times to operate; Food, Spare Parts, Munitions, & Fuel. The first 3 are fairly easy to supply, just do what normal carriers do, have aircraft land aboard and offload the supplies. However, the issue of fuel is a bit trickier. There is no Refueler ship for the Aigaion to dock beside without having to land, so it was decided to use Tanker aircraft to do the job. However, due to large number of aircraft carried by the Aigaion, the amount of fuel needed is massive. So massive, that it takes 6 fully loaded KC-10s to provide the Aigaion with a days worth of fuel for a full compliment (90) of aircraft. So the Aigaion must either be constantly refueling, or use a smaller amount of aircraft aboard.

Using the technology from the Aigaion designs, Hypersphere Ltd. has developed an escort for the Aigaion. Called the P-1114 Gyges Fire Support Platform, its duty is to defend the Aigaion from long range threats with XRAAM(eXtreme Range Air to Air Missile) and Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. It can also fill other roles than escort, such as a gunship, a bomber, & in case of facing other aircraft like the Gyges & Aigaion, an aerial Battleship.

The armament of the Gyges consist of 4 5-inch guns along the sides of the hull; a pair of Mk 41 64 cell VLS on the top of the hull; and for defense, 2 AAMs(1 in the tail, 1 under the nose) and 6 AA guns along the edges of the wing.

The P-1115’s original artist impression (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/P-1115.jpg)

The P-1115 is based on the P-1113 Kottos Electronic Warfare Platform, which had been designed to jam any & all signals within a 400 nmi radius to passively protect the Aigaion. Unfortunately, the performance of the Kottos failed to reach its goals and was subsequently cancelled. However, the 2 airframes that had been built were relegated to be scrapped when a Birkainian designer working for Hypersphere Ltd. came up with a use for the hulls.

Removing the electronic warfare suites & the extra power generators, install a hanger & runway for a small number of aircraft. If the Aigaion is the Nimitz of the skies, then the Voidanoi would be the Invincible of the skies. Able to carry 20 aircraft, the P-1115 is designed for situation that using the Aigaion would be considered overkill. Its defenses include a pair of VLS launchers loaded with Anti-Aircraft missiles, 8 AA guns located around the hull, and 2 Flak cannons near the runway.

M8A1 Main Battle Rifle
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/M8A1.png

Designed from the original XM8 Assault Rifle prototype, the M8A1 is the result of a joint 10 year crash course in developing an indigenous Main Battle Rifle (MBR) by the Republic of Belkaland & The Republic of The Emmerian Unions. Firing the powerful 7.62x51mm round, its stopping power is far above most contemporary MBR, which fires the lighter, but less powerful 5.56x45mm NATO standard round in most cases. Because of the near legendary recoil of the 7.62 round, steps were taken to decrease the recoil to the shooter. One of which uses the blowback system to slow the barrel down.

During the Emmerian field testing of the rifle, Emmerian commanders & soldiers commented of the ease of which it was to clean. One soldier even commented that he dropped & left the rifle in mud overnight and with a little washing down the next morning, fired like new. It quickly became a favorite of the troops, in fact, when the field testing was over, it was reported that some of the soldiers had to be ordered to return the weapons. Afterwards, it was tested in Belkaland and it had a very similar result among the troops. So it put into full production and quickly replaced the old M16s & M4s within both Belkalandain & Emmerian militaries. 2 years later, the Hypersphere Technology LTD corporation formed and bought production right for it from the Emmerian & Belkalandian Government and begun to export it.

M8A2 Sniper Rifle
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/M8A2.png

Another thing about the M8A1 is the various variants of it. Because of it being of a modular design, it was fairly easy to turn the already accurate A1 model into the A2 Sniper rifle. Changing out the short 12.5in barrel for a 20in barrel & the fully integrated red dot sights for a more power version, the M8A2 Sniper variant is able to reach out to over 1 ½ miles and accurately hit its target.

Price: $1,500 USD per weapon



M8A3 Squad Automatic Weapon
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/M8A3.png

The second variant of the A1 model is the M8A3 SAW or Squad Automatic Weapon. Useful when providing covering fire, a SAW version on the M8 was seen as a way to not only replace an aging weapon, but to provide further commonality with what was fast becoming a reliable All-in-One weapon. The SAW Variant used a heavier 20in barrel for the needed sustained fire & the replacement of the barrel hand grip with an integral folding bipod for stability.

We are sorry to hear about that. We were unaware of their terrorist nature, if you can provide us with solid proof that they are indeed a terrorist group, we can enact a blacklist on their group so that no more Hypersphere products can get into their hands.

As for your order, it has been approved and we wish you happy hunting. Your order will be completed in 2 NS months(4 RL hours).

If the name on the order form mentioned anything about a President Bespin Tubari, or a "Korintari Free Justice League", then it was a request from KFL. We suspect they are planning something big, as we detected what appeared to be a dialogue between Tubari and an Ivan Nikitin, head of the Xultian terrorist organization SCAR, which has caused our government troubles in the past.

It is just like such organizations to operate under false, often positive sounding, names. If something seems suspicious about an order coming from any country, feel free to probe further to try to get the individual to divulge more information. Sovreignties with legitimate governments would be honest about their intentions, for the most part, while those who dodge questions should be held suspect.

Attackers

MiG-21Z
Early computer model of the MiG-21Z (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/MiG-21ZComputermodel.png)

Originally designed by surprisingly the Birkainian Air Force itself, the MiG-21Z was the result of a rather unfortunate time for the Birkainian Air Force.

After the Birkainian Civil War, the Birkainian military was in disrepair and the Air Force was the worst of 3 branches. Many of their front line fighters were destroyed and what was left was old Fishbeds, some of them missing a wing. When word came from the new government that the Birkainian Navy would get priority over the Air Force, the Air Force ordered their mechanics to try and repair the out of commissioned Fishbeds. What they got was just the thing they needed.

Top view of the MiG-21Z showing how the 2 airframes are connected (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/MiG-21Z.png)

Taking 2 MiG-21s & combining them via a shared wing, the MiG-21Z was a cheap & easy to produce fighter-bomber. With 2 cockpits, 1 pilot could fly the plane while the second could operate the radar & guide the plentiful number of TV guided missiles in Birkainian service to their targets. After view a demonstration of the plane, the Birkainian leader, Gen. Victor Yulianov, ordered the plane be put into production by the few factories in operation at the time. It later became the mainstay aircraft of the Birkainian Air Force.

Now Hypersphere Ltd. is selling the MiG-21Z to nations that can’t afford even a 3rd Gen fighter or simple does not wish for the advance & extremely complex fighters. The MiG-21Z is available to the nations of the world with 2 options. The first option is simply a new-built airframe costing $8,000,000 USD. The second is to take your old MiG-21s, put them together and upgrade the electronics to the MiG-21-93 standard for $2,750,000 USD.

Su-47Z
3 view image of the Su-47Z (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/Su-47Z.png)

After seeing the effectiveness of the MiG-21Z and the recovery of the Birkainian economy, the Birkainian Air Force decided to request the development of a similar aircraft based on a more modern fighter. The Belkalandian company of Grunder Industries answered the request with the Su-47Z.

While the MiG-21Z is a fairly simple modification using the same airframe, the Su-47Z is wholly new airframe, only taking the nose & engines of the Su-47. Possessing neither canards nor a normal tail, the Su-47Z instead possesses an extremely angled twin rudders, so extreme that unless you saw it from the top or bottom, you’d think they were Ruddervators.

The payload of the Su-47Z is located in the massive missile bay on the bottom of the aircraft and under the wings. Capable of carrying up to nearly 10 and half tons of ordinance, the Su-47Z is a worthy successor to the MiG-21Z. And it’s not defenseless either, it has 2 smaller Raptor style missile bays on the side of the aircraft for IR missiles like the R-73(AA-11 Archer).

Special Aircraft

P-1112 ‘Aigaion’ Aerial Aircraft Carrier
An Aigaion on patrol over the Northern Sea (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/ace-combat-6-fires-of-liberation-20.jpg)

The P-1112 ‘Aigaion’ Aerial Aircraft Carrier was originally a design developed by the Ustio North-based Exterminatus Arms. However, with the recent flux in Ustio North’s political stance, Exterminatus Arms’s economical standing began to collapse. To save itself, Exterminatus Arms joined the stable Hypersphere Ltd conglomerate. With this move, the P-1112 Aigaion & other military hardware designs became assessable to Hypersphere Ltd.. Of the designs, only 3 were approved for sale by Hypersphere, one of which is the P-1112 Aigaion.

Su-33 fighters landing after a long-range patrol (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/938702_20071023_screen006.jpg).

The Aigaion is capable of launching and recovering up to 90 aircraft maximum, but 75 is the recommended number. To keep personnel off the flightline as much as possible during flight, the Aigaion employs several automated cranes & hooks that maneuver aircraft during the takeoff preparation & after landing. These cranes are what allow the Aigaion to operate fighters during flight.

As it is an airborne carrier, it acts as a moving, forward deployed ‘airfield’ which can travel great distances and is not limited by land mass. Due to its shear size, its hull has been specially designed so it can operate from a large body of water, which is the only place it can do so. Its wing structure is a box wing design, this allows greater amount of lift without having a much larger wing. It also has 32 high thrust, nuclear-powered jet engines mounted in pairs of 8 located in the wing root & toward the wingtip.

To defend itself, the Aigaion is equipped with 12 Point-Defense Anti-Aircraft guns located around the aircraft; 6 Flak Cannons along the raised sides of the runway; and finally, 8 AAM launcher ports located ahead of the Flak Cannon emplacements, a pair on the stern, and another pair along the sides of the ‘mouth’ of the Aigaion.

The Aigaion refueling its fuel storage tanks for its fighters (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/AerialFleet.jpg)

As with any nuclear-powered carrier, the Aigaion has 4 things that are needed at all times to operate; Food, Spare Parts, Munitions, & Fuel. The first 3 are fairly easy to supply, just do what normal carriers do, have aircraft land aboard and offload the supplies. However, the issue of fuel is a bit trickier. There is no Refueler ship for the Aigaion to dock beside without having to land, so it was decided to use Tanker aircraft to do the job. However, due to large number of aircraft carried by the Aigaion, the amount of fuel needed is massive. So massive, that it takes 6 fully loaded KC-10s to provide the Aigaion with a days worth of fuel for a full compliment (90) of aircraft. So the Aigaion must either be constantly refueling, or use a smaller amount of aircraft aboard.

The P-1114 firing in live-fire simulated battle (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/P-1114Gyges.jpg)

Using the technology from the Aigaion designs, Hypersphere Ltd. has developed an escort for the Aigaion. Called the P-1114 Gyges Fire Support Platform, its duty is to defend the Aigaion from long range threats with XRAAM(eXtreme Range Air to Air Missile) and Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. It can also fill other roles than escort, such as a gunship, a bomber, & in case of facing other aircraft like the Gyges & Aigaion, an aerial Battleship.

The armament of the Gyges consist of 4 5-inch guns along the sides of the hull; a pair of Mk 41 64 cell VLS on the top of the hull; and for defense, 2 AAMs(1 in the tail, 1 under the nose) and 6 AA guns along the edges of the wing.

P-1115 ‘Voidanoi’ Light Aerial Aircraft Carrier
The P-1115’s original artist impression (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll31/DemonLordRazgriz/Belkaland%20military/P-1115.jpg)

The P-1115 is based on the P-1113 Kottos Electronic Warfare Platform, which had been designed to jam any & all signals within a 400 nmi radius to passively protect the Aigaion. Unfortunately, the performance of the Kottos failed to reach its goals and was subsequently cancelled. However, the 2 airframes that had been built were relegated to be scrapped when a Birkainian designer working for Hypersphere Ltd. came up with a use for the hulls.

Removing the electronic warfare suites & the extra power generators, install a hanger & runway for a small number of aircraft. If the Aigaion is the Nimitz of the skies, then the Voidanoi would be the Invincible of the skies. Able to carry 20 aircraft, the P-1115 is designed for situation that using the Aigaion would be considered overkill. Its defenses include a pair of VLS launchers loaded with Anti-Aircraft missiles, 8 AA guns located around the hull, and 2 Flak cannons near the runway.

Height: 43.61m

OOC: You seem to have a very pestimistic view on things. Radar can solve the sight problem that a design like this would have. There's nothing that technology can't solve, it's all a matter of time! Plus, you're forgetting the radar/weapons operator, they would keep an eye out as well and warn the pilot of an enemy in the pilot's blind spot.

Granted there are better designs, but you have to admit, it's cool looking.:p

@Emmerian Unions: He likely just got the games mixed up.

You didn't have to quote the whole hugeass post to make your point. Besides, a rear-looking radar should do it.

Machines break, people don't. Having to use radar to do something as simple as check your six, is epic, epic fail at best, and sucidal at worst.

Ok....then how do many bombers which CANNOT check their six, but have radar to do so, survive? Using your logic ALL bombers that have rear facing radar to check their six, should all die.

Even though I agree that having Radar can help with making sure someone doesnt "Zomg he burned meh six!", its still inconvienient.

Also when, have you ever, heard of a lone bomber? (Stealth Bombers do not count.)


So, Im going to assume all those bombers survived due to having Air Support with them.

Machines break, people don't. Having to use radar to do something as simple as check your six, is epic, epic fail at best, and sucidal at worst.

OOC: It was also designed for you know, flight. The "MiG-21z" (ignoring the Ace Combat 5 flying carriers) and "Su-47Z" would get blown out of the sky. At least Belkaland had the common sense to read why the various Nazi twin fuselage planes failed, and gave all flight control to one pilot, instead of both pilots sharing control. However, the crewmember flying this thing will have a hell of a time trying to fly this and get a good view of his 3, 4, and 5 o'clock positions with the other half of the aircraft blocking those views.

OOC: In small planes like this, when you restrict the pilots abiltity to look behind him, he will be shot down by enemy fighters. And no, you did not luck out. You just decided to take fix one problem in a concept with so many others its not worth pursuing.

Aerodynamics do not work that way.

** Is it possible to add similar defensive weapons to the P-1112, possibly by removing some deck space? We'd feel more assured about the aircraft's survivability if it were fitted with Mk. 41 VLS launchers and Phalanx CIWS'.

Subject: Military Purchase

Greetings, after reviewing your request, we have agreed to approve your order with a 4 year payment plan of $249,300,000,000 USD per year as to not over tax your nation's defense budget.

However, your request for modifications can not be be done save for the addition of Mk. 41 VLS to the Aigaions. The Aigaion was designed in mind for a VLS system to be incorporated into the top of the aircraft. For the rest of the requests, it is impossible to do. The Phalanx CIWS is a movable CIWS and would only be connected by 4 bolts, not good enough to be secured. As for replacing the 5 in. guns with 16"/50 Mark 7 turrets, there is simply no way for the massive Mark 7 to be installed into the P-1115. The 5 in. Guns are located in specially designed turrets along the side of the hull, to place a Mark 7 there would not only need a total redesign of the insides of the hull, it would not be operational as the Mark 7 would be on its side.

We hope you understand and will continue to do business with Hypersphere Technologies Ltd.
