The new light patrol craft currently being designed to replace the legacy USP fleet will be known as the Mariner 56A class. The ships will be built by the DDS (or by the Raegris), Consolidated Spacecraft and SENECA.
The Mariner 56A will have a mission module capability so a single fleet can cover the varied roles of 3 ships in the legacy fleet. The DDS say at least 3 current customers have shown interest in an export version though none will be available until the end of the decade.
