Young Turks call for more radical fleet changes

A group of young officers led by a Lieutenant C. Vincent has called for radical changes to the DDS fleet with wholesale withdrawals of older types and rationalisation to create a "leaner swifter and cheaper fleet". The group, who call themselves DDS 3000, outlined their ideas at a meeting of DDS officers at GHQ. Some of their key points were :

• Withdrawal of Pulsar, Solaris, Intrepid, StarSystem classes
• Cancelling Pangaea, Arsenal classes
• Withdrawing all KT1s and turning KT2s into the training fleet

A General Staff spokesman said Windy welcomed all debate and would be inviting Carl Vincent to his quarters for late night talks soon. He also said DDS 3000's report would be handed to the General looking into fleet cutbacks and some of the group's changes would definitely be taken on-board.
