NS has finally published it's next Ship Building Plan which begins next month. As with the last plan it is dominated by Protector 57As though will also include the first Lavender 105A unmanned combat ship and the first Acadia 165A Remote Support Tender. The number of the ships in the plan is noticably less than previous years (just 18 ships compared to 22 the year before) though this is due to the large Panther ILU program beginning.
The full plan is as follows:
Protector 57A - 7 ships
Kinetic 35C - 1 ship
Mulberry 36C - 1 ship
Corkscrew 51A - 2 ships
Lavender 105A - 1 ship
Pentekonter 44T - 2 ships
Provider 71A - 1 ship
Navelwort 86M - 2 ships
Acadia 165A - 1 ship
