An upgrade of the DDS' fleet of Missileer 21Bs is due to begin next month. The upgrade was funded and agreed before the current DDS financial restrictions with items already bought or ordered meaning it can go ahead without any changes.
The main change includes the fitting of W1AA worm drives to the fleet, a Z7 cannon will be fitted and 2 TPM-VLS batteries. The ships will receive a new power grid (which is needed for the wormdrive and cannon anyway) and improvements to the communications and internal security systems. The upgrades are likely to be completed by the early Winter.
