As expected the forthcoming Type 18 has been named after the former DDS Commander and legend Windscorpion who died last year. The DDS will build 2 Windscorpion 18As which will be known as Heavy Attack Cruisers (HAC) in service. Work on the first ship is expected to begin next year with an entry into service expected for 2116.
A fuller specification will follow in the Summer when the official order is made (and the ships are added to the DDS register).
