DDS put weight behind Olympic Ballista (Olympic-F)

The DDS have put their weight behind the missile launcher version of the Olympic 23A support carrier by saying they will order 2 of them which will likely be known as the Olympic 23B in DDS service. The type has also gained the marketing name Olympic Ballista instead of Olympic-F though this designation will continue to be used internally. This is part of a general DDS move to eliminate the "E for export" designation which are being phased out. The DDS portfolio has been updated to reveal the new names which are considered more marketable.

No more details of the Olympic Ballista have been revealed though, the DDS say specifications and design work are now fully ongoing and they expect to reveal more by the Summer.
