Fleet news (16/07/08)

The DDS have created a new type classification system for it's fleet moving away from describing classes by their lead ship name (which can be problematical when that lead ship is lost) though it is likely the lead ship names will continue to be used in parallel. The type numbers can be seen on the DDS fleet page.

C103 South America has become the second Pulsar (or Type 12A) MULE3 cruiser to be completed and has rejoined the fleet. It has already headed to the DMZ to support existing assets as part of Hard Thrust.

The first Type 47A Fighting Falcon class ship (the Dinomark XT to DDS standards) has entered limited service to allow for full spectrum testing in near-combat conditions. P131 Fighting Falcon will spend the next 3 months on Loeuss taking part in exercises with DDS and Dino ground forces.

2 more Type 75A Friendship class transports have been delivered. The DDS has finally decided to name the class and used the Friendship name.
