The HCSN has given up its aim to be a "multi-fleet multi-world" force and will concentrate on a blue water presence on Cloneworld only, with the Aquaworld and Austini 55 fleets remaining brown and green water fleets. The most eye-opening cut is the cancelation of the future carrier though the HCSN Cloneworld fleet will now get a third carrier of the current type.
- As said above the "Future Carrier" planned for the 2120s has been canceled.
- The "Austini 55" carrier of the Cloneworld class will now be completed as the third carrier for Cloneworld.
- The Benito Clone helicopter carrier (which is almost complete) will be given to Cloneworld instead, the second CVH will be canceled.
- The final 2 Olana class destroyers will be built but the Ailier II frigate class order will be cut to 10.
- The final 2 Triona II OPV(H) will be built for Cloneworld, and 2 will also be built for Austini 55.
- All submarine programmes are unaffected, the Walrus SSBN programme will be partially funded by the Strategic Defence Fund as will SeaGale/CSM missiles.
- The 2 Flexible Support Ships for Austini 55 will be built but will be up-armed and become command ships for their fleet.
- The Cloneworld HCSNAS fleet of F-40Ns will be cut to 30 by 2114, leaving mainly carrier capable aircraft plus some for conversion training.
- The F-45K and other types on order will remain unchanged.
- Austini 55's HCSNAS order for F-45Ks is canceled, instead they will get some cascaded F-45As at a later stage.
- A new cruise missile programme has been put back 2 years.
- Deployments on Cloneworld and Austini 55 will be cut.
- Plans for a new naval base on the south coast of the Cloneworld continent have been shelved, instead the HCSN will hire some civilian port facilities and improve these where needed.
The HCSN page has been updated with the new fleet structure. The HCSAF are due to detail their cuts next week.
