HCS to build first missile attack submarine

The HCS Navy have announced that the second Seawolf SSK hull will be earmarked for the singleton Warhammer class missile attack submarine. This will enter service in 2113 and help develop the submarine launched ballistic missiles for the Walrus class SSBNs that are due around 2116-7. The missiles will be the SeaGale SLBM and the as-yet-unnamed sea launched CSM.

The HCSN said that once the missiles are in normal service and Walrus is in service the Warhammer will become part of the missile attack fleet. As Seawolf/Warhammer is much smaller than Walrus it is expected it will only carry a small number of missiles.
