The HCS Space Navy are said to be reviewing its current and projected fleet numbers in the light of changes in HCS doctrine and improvements in unmanned asset technology. Under current plans the HCSSN are aiming for a fleet of:
First Line
Battlecruisers 30 (Soulaki)
Front Line Cruisers 56 (Advanced Cosmos + Molentic Tuul)
Bombers 30 (Kelsan)
Second Line
Second Line Cruisers 74 (Legacy Cosmos)
Frigates 112 (Shark + Kalahati Tuul S)
However the HCSSN may look to reduce its Second Line force and increase the First Line as unmanned assets like Nybble NL derivatives take over basic patrolling. The easiest way would be to upgrade some Legacy Cosmos to a standard similar to the CS or CG. The HCSSN are said to want 70 Front Line Cruisers on top of the existing Cosmos CG order though simply continuing production may be too expensive, however rebuilding Cosmos CKs would be cheaper. Another option may be to mothball some KTS, the HCSSN are committed to all outstanding Shark orders.
