As is DDS custom battle losses of ship classes still in production will be replaced by new ships with the same name as the lost ship (with a "II" added). The DDS have announced an extra Terran Sea will be built 3227 Red Sea II and new transport ships 7921 Hercules II and 7215 Skymaster II.
Very timely two new ships have entered the fleet. The final Pentekonter OPV 3520 Aeschylus has joined the patrol pool. (Although news has only just come in its unlikely that the destroyed Pentekonter will be replaced as the production line is already switching to the Rome OPV). The first Terran Sea C frigate 3218 Arafura Sea has joined the fleet. Details of the changes of the Type C are still classified.
