HCS to replace civil war fleet losses

The HCS have announced replacements will be built for some of the ships destroyed in the civil war between the Loyalist and Benito factions. Three Tiamon 2 assault carriers will be built (only one is left of the original fleet) plus five more Cosmos S cruisers. Two Intruder LHAs will also be built though not until the DDS Intruder order has been satisfied.

The HCS have also said they are looking at a light patrol boat again, previously they worked on a design called the Shark but this was cancelled earlier this year. The HCS OPV 08 design, as yet unnamed, could well be built from 2108.
