The Clone Navy has received 2 more submarines including the first Sealion nuclear attack submarine and a 6th Seawolf diesel-electric boat. In a further boost the veteran training boat / auxiliary patrol asset CNSS Tinfish has returned from its life extension and has resumed operations. This gives the Clone Navy on Cloneworld a pool of 9 submarines though Tinfish will normally be used for training and weapons trials and CNSS Warhammer for development of the SeaGale SLBM.
In other Clone Navy news there is rising tension between the service and the Clone Air Force as they are taking up most of the slots for new build K45s. Since the CAF began series delivery of the K45C deliveries of K45Ks have been reduced to a trickle. The Cloneworld Command of the CN has over 60 on order and is keen to get them as soon as possible so it can begin withdrawing its rapidly ageing fleet of K40Ns.
