The Multi-Mode Combat Ship (MMCS) project has moved to stage 2 following preliminary and feasibility studies. The MMCS will be a modified version of the Type 35 cruiser able to operate in atmospheres like the Dinomark AM (which is said to have inspired NS).
NS has assigned the code Type 35Z to the project. NS is working on a modified version of the Gluon engine which powers the Type 35 family which will have an atmospheric mode as well as auxiliary turbines. NS will work on a full specification this year ahead of an expected order and construction of the prototype next year.
