DDS confirm Dinomark purchase plans

The DDS have confirmed that they will buy at least 10 Dinomark XTs, to a DDS defined specification. The as-yet unnamed class (though it has been allocated the class number 3700) will be defined as patrol boats / littoral warfare ships. They will be used to support DDS ground forces as well as providing the link between DDS ground and aerial assets and space assets. They will be optimised for operation in high-atmosphere / low-orbit regions (so-called "littoral" regions).
