DDS Exports round-up

Molab have taken delivery of their 5th Pentekonter-E and have placed an order for a 7th. It is expected their order will be completed this year though Helinox's Pentekonter delivery date has been bought forward and they will receive their first ship this year. The minesweeper Pentekonter-EM has officially been added to the portfolio and will use an export version of DMS. Interestingly SPECNES will also be an option which means (probably cheekily) the DDS may try and sell this to the HCS who are struggling to build a new minesweeper.

Molab are still undecided about a 3rd Isometric-EMM which means only's Putri 500's order is currently outstanding. However 2 nations (who have not been named) are understood to be interested in the low-end Isometric and are currently negotiating on price and spec.

Putri 500's Velocity-E has begun construction and is likely to be delivered early next year. Putri may order a second example when they have had a chance to try out their ship.
