Shark class completed

The 25th and final Shark class frigate has been delivered to the HCS Space Navy. Construction of the class was amazingly fast with the bulk of the 25 built in just 1 calendar year. This was due to the urgent need to replace withdrawn Kalahati Tuul classics and KT2s, of course this urgency was generated by the fact the Shark class was delayed for so long thus the ships it was intended to replace wore out before it could arrive to fill the gap (a similar fiasco now which has befallen the minesweeping fleet).

However that is now the past and the HCSSN are very happy with the Shark. Work is now underway for the follow-on Thresher class which will be a larger and more capable ship based on the Shark design.
