The first A-85NTN for the HCS Navy has been rolled out at a ceremony at a HCSN air base. The NTN is a "Navalised" version of the A-85 COIN aircraft though the differences in the NTN are not that much from the standard NT (the carrierborne NTK will be much more heavily modified). The NTN has mostly avionic changes for over-water operation and improved energency beacon and recovery kits. Tactical software will also be modified for full compatibility with HCSN ordinance.
The NTN will provide support in coastal regions for the Navy in anti-piracy operations on Cloneworld, Aquaworld and Austini 55.
