The Clone Space Navy has had a rare bit of good news with 3 new ships joining the fleet after an extended period of construction and delay. Two Cosmos CG cruisers and one Shark SKB frigate have been built. However the Molentic Tuul MTM2 has been delayed until next year (no surprise as construction has not started yet).
The head of the Clone Defence Forces Admiral Anderson welcomed the new ships but acknowledged that the Space Navy had suffered the most from the recent defence budget squeeze. He said though that this was largely due to money being ringposted for the huge Soulaki SLM battlecruiser upgrade.
But things would improve for the Space Navy in 2118 as much of the Soulaki SLM programme had now been paid for. He promised more ships would be built in 2118.
