The first new submarine built by the Clones since the reinstatement of their Navy has been launched. SS Seawolf is the lead of a new class of conventionally powered submarines (SSK) which will supplement the only existing submarine in the HCSN SS Tinfish.
Seawolf is based on Tinfish though has been improved using Sirikwanese technology and design. That the first Seawolf has been launched so quickly is due to the fact it was largely built already from pre-fabricated elements and put together in a matter of weeks. Only the hull has been contructed though, sea trials are not expected for a year. The singleton ballistic missile test submarine SS Warhammer, which is based on Seawolf, is also taking shape rapidly.
Seawolf is hoped to enter service before the end of 2110 with Warhammer entering service as a SSK in 2111 though it will begin development of the SeaGale SLBM within a year or two.
