DDS issue first draft of Ship Building Plan 2112/3

The DDS have issued the first draft of its ship building plan for the next financial year following on from the 2111/2 plan that will end in April. At first glance the plan for next year is more modest than the current plan with 16 ships planned to build compared to 19 this year however there may be additions before the plan is finalised next year as some of the ships in the plan are for the Starbotians so not out of DDS budget. The plan includes:

• 2 Olympus 23A
• 2 Indy 35B
• 3 Solaris 37C
• 4 Freedom 41B
• 2 Oceania 63A
• 1 Tethys Ocean 65A
• 2 Extender 73A

Its notable that next year's plan will bring to an end some long running ship class building programmes with the last planned Type 35s and Extenders being built.
