The first new aircraft carrier of the HCS Navy, CNS Cloneworld, is beginning it's work-up to service and if it passes it's acceptance trials in the early Summer then by around July the HCSN will have it's carrier. The carrier, accompanied by an Olana destroyer and a support ship, is conducting a series of training exercises with the 4 F-40Ns and 3 SH-26 helicopters.
The HCSN are celebrating the entry into service of 2 new submarines CNSS Porpoise and CNSS Warhammer the SSB missile test submarine. Warhammer will not begin trials with SeaGale until next year at the earliest so until then will be used for patrol missions. With the new submarines entering service the legacy submarine CNSS Tinfish has left service to begin a life-extension refit and upgrade. Although original plans were for Tinfish to be withdrawn when the Seawolf submarines entered service the HCSN now plan to keep Tinfish for training/trials/reserve until the 2120s.
