The DDS has made modest increases to the orders for the currently in production Warrior 16A bomber and Kinetic 35C fleet combat ship. The Warrior, which made a successful combat debut recently, has been increased from 15 to 18. The extra ships will give spare capacity to the DDS strike force.
The Kinetic order has been increased from a fleet of 12 to 15, partly to replace war losses. The DDS have also placed an option for an extra 5. In other Type 35 news the DDS has signed a contract to begin preparations for the Panther 35A ILU which is due for 2118 though may be bought forward and the class merged with the slightly larger Indy 35B. However nothing has been confirmed yet.
