R109 Rifleman is the latest Missileer 21B to join the fleet and the penultimate ship of it's type to be built (though the DDS are known to be considering 2 more in the next financial year). Rifleman has a number of changes to it's UCV handling system and will be at first used for some Ferret-G trials before joining the fleet for normal duties later in the year.
Isometric 41A frigate F105 Jurassic has become the latest completed ILU. Interestingly it's place on the production jig has been taken by F116 Cryptozoic which is one of the 3 Pave Yellow equipped ships used to direct minesweeping operations. The DDS is taking the opportunity of a lull in MCM operations to get one of it's precious MCM directors upgraded.
A226 Elbe is the latest River 75B transport to join the fleet. 4 more are on provisional order though it will likely be the next FY before they are confirmed.
A509 Rupert is the last Feeder 78A VIP shuttle to be built. Originally the DDS planned to buy more than 9 but are reported to be not that happy with the type due to it's average availability. Finally A579 Firefly and A580 Salamander are the latest Coril 79B shuttles to be built. The Feeder and Corils are likely to be class renumbered in the 8x series soon.
The 4 Coril 79A special forces transports are likely to be re-engineed with the same CFM powerplant as used in the 79B when they receive their next refits.
