The DDS shipyards have been busy finishing off ships and carrying out their testing before the shipyards shut down for the Christmas period. 4 ships join the fleet this week and were named and dedicated at a large ceremony on Solaris.
P140 Harrier and P141 Goshawk are the latest Falcon 47A patrol ships. Of course they were built by the Dinos though there still is quite a bit of work required at the DDS yard to localise them and to install sensitive equipment. The two Falcons have now joined the general patrol pool, P141 Goshawk will be loaned to DDS Research in the new year to assist in some more tests with UCV / manned ship integration.
L114 Baltica is the latest Pangaea 62A landing ship to be received and has joined the DDS Amphibious Reaction Force. This is a new unit currently forming which will always maintain at least 1 ship on a 6 hour readiness alert status (it is envisaged that each ship in the force will spend a week in turn at this level of readiness) in order to be deployable with a battalion of DDS Army troops (which are on a similar readiness regime).
Finally A121 Starlifter II is the latest Provider 71A and replaces a battle loss in the Utrek War.
