The code audit of the Terran Sea EMS (Engine Management System) has been completed and the EMS is being tested. The DDS hope to roll out the new code to all Terran Sea frigates by mid-week and normal operations should be able to resume. The latest 2 ships to be completed will also be able to resume their fleet trials, as none-engine systems could still be tested while the ships were "grounded" the DDS is not expecting their entry into service to be delayed. November 15th has been pencilled in as the date they will enter service. The first Block 2 Terran Sea 3209 Yellow Sea is nearing completion and should enter trials by the end of november.
The first Pentekonter patrol ship 3501 Thucydides is also nearing completion, the DDS expect it to enter trials in december. The 3400 class long-range frigate will be known as the River class, not Explorer as previously stated. Work on the first ship is not due to start until the end of 2106.
Two more Provider transport ships have been completed and have entered service following trials those being 7909 Galaxy and 7910 Flying Boxcar. The DDS have decided to build another two. The ageing Cuba class transports will be withdrawn once these 2 extra ships have entered service. The first Marconi class EW ship 7351 Marconi has just entered trials.
