The Panther Intermediate Life Update (ILU) programme will begin next month. This will be a major rebuild and upgrade of the cruiser and will be phase 1 of the Type 35 Unification which will aim to create a single standard for the Type 35. Completed Panther ILUs will form the first batch of the Lynx 35M class and the ships will be renumbered (SS Lynx will be the first ship to be converted, giving the class it's name).
The Panther ILU will include extending the hull (to the same length of the Indy 35B), a larger weapon load, larger docking bay, uprated engines (Gluon TM07B-Y6) and other system updates.
