Silurian completes Isometric ILU

F102 Silurian has become the first "normal" Isometric to complete it's ILU (the flagship SS Carboniferous has already had it's ILU but it is a special case) though will not return to service for around a month to allow for full testing. The ILU changes are so extensive as to make the ship almost a new type. Training and engineering manuals also need to be developed for the rest of the fleet when they receive their ILU. F104 Triassic will be the next ship to receive the update though this will not start for a couple of weeks because the ship is currently on a patrol.

The Isometric ILU programme is a major rebuilt and update of the Isometric frigate fleet which many consider the backbone of the DDS. Changes include TPM-2, Z5i, iSAS, OA 2.0 and IWC.
