Fleet news (05/05/09)

Two more Coril 79B shuttles have been delivering which will relieve the pressure on the depleted DDS shuttle/VIP fleet, A574 Witchdoctor and A575 Ronald have already entered service. The original order for the type has been increased to 12.

The first 2 Thames 75B class transports have also been delivered, these are improved versions of the Friendship 75A class which is officially for UNP communication duties though have been heavily used by the DDS for their own missions.

Pangaea 62A class amphibious warfare ships L117-120 have been cancelled which means the 2 current hulls being built by the Clones will be the last built (these will be L115-116). Instead the DDS are likely to purchase up to 8 SX-98 docking ships though the order has not yet been made.
