Year 00 Rearmament Plan
From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
The Year 00 Rearmament Plan is Bryn Shander's plan to replace it's aging space fleet with new, more capable vessels before completely re-entering the international arena.
- The first class of ship to be designed and put into production as part of the plan is the Kusanagi (FF-1593) class frigate, which is being constructed at the space fortresses Axis, Mathilde, A Baoa Qu, and Solomon. The first batch of 150 ships has been completed, and the keels have been laid for another 150.
- The second ship to be designed is the Trondheim (DD-637) class destroyer, which is also being constructed at Axis, Mathilde, Solomon, and A Baoa Qu. The Trondheim is heavily based on the design of the Kusanagi. 100 ships of the class have been completed, with another 292 under construction.
- The third class of ship, the Suiseiseki (CL-279) class light cruiser is being constructed at shipyards in Axis, Mathilde, and Forodren Annon. 50 of the cruisers have been completed, and another 50 have had their keels laid.
- Work on the CA-109 class heavy cruiser, BB-37 class battleship, and SD-06 class dreadnought is under way.
- A new generation of mobile suits is in the design phase.
- Two new fighters have entered mass production: The FA-01 Goshawk attack fighter and the FF-02 Sparrowhawk space superiority fighter.
