DDS to keep tighter hold of money for ship building

The Fleet Development Review is ongoing (and only just started indeed) yet already announcements are coming out of it. From now on fleet development will become less ad hoc and more formalised with yearly ship building programmes which will be kept to barring emergencies or wars. The aims of this is to save money and to keep a tighter hold on spending which has often run out of control.

A "mini programme" will be announced for the rest of this year (though that "year" will run to the end of March 2110) and will outline how many ships including Panthers and SOTs will be built this year. Then next year a new programme for FY 2110 will be published.
