The sole HCS Navy frigate CNS Ailier has returned to the fleet following it's refit and update. Ailier was the last survivor of the old Navy and until the arrival of the Olana destroyers was the only large surface warship available. 16 Ailier II frigates based on the design will be built, the first is expected to be launched early next year.
CNS Ailier has been fitted with C3 equipment and will act as the fleet flagship and command ship until the carrier CNS Cloneworld enters service next year. It has also been fitted with an improved weapons and sensor suite.
