The second Missileer class carrier R102 Lancer has entered service, it is to the full Missileer operational specification including TPM-2 ready launchers and software and improved communications. Some datalink integration work is still needed before the ship is considered 100% (the DDS say its at 98% now). The ship has joined the Central Fleet and also been made the Flagship of the fleet in lieu of R101 Missileer which has returned to Solaris to been made up to the same operational level. This work is expected to take around 3 weeks.
SS Lancer will begin a development deployment with SS Isometric and the Rome B SS Ovid to an undisclosed location next week where full trials of the latest development variant of the TPM-2 will take place.
Finally the Missileer order has been increased from 9 to 10 though DDS sources say the eventual total for this class could be 12.
