Consul Cruggson gave a speech to senior officers in the Dino Army earlier today and announced that a new Dinomark was now in development. At the moment it is known as the Dinomark XX though it will have a different name when it enters service (a date was not given).
Cruggson said that the RS, whilst an excellent warship, was too large, inflexible and expensive for the Dinos needs. Thus the new Dinomark would seek to fill the gap between the RS and the PT class with a new principal fighting ship. Dino sources indicate the XX could be similar in size to the DDS Panther 35A destroyer which thus would be similar to the aborted Dinomark GL project of the last decade.
Cruggson said the new Dinomark had to be an "unparalleled fighting ship" but also have the flexibility and utility the Dinos expected in their ships.
