At a bumper ceremony held at GHQ today no fewer than 6 new ships were added to the DDS fleet. The latest batch of 4 Pentekonter OPVs 3512 Orpheus 3513 Pindar 3514 Hipponas and 3515 Nicias joined the patrol pool. The latest Terran Sea FFG 3214 Sulu Sea was added to the strike pool. Finally a new Provider AK 7912 Mryia was added to the support pool.
The DDS also announced their plans for the ageing Solaris FF. When the replacement Rhombus came online (probably from 2107) they would be quickly withdrawn. Three, plus the Hood operated ship, would be retained by Support / Training Command and refurbished to become dedicated signals/EW training ships. The rest would be sold to the New Aritans.
