After a break of several years while the Friendship production line was busy with other derived ship types, NS has entered into service a new Olympus Balista 23M missile carrier. 23-211 Horus joins the ten ships already in service.
However, NS has cancelled most of the outstanding ships on order. Originally NS wanted a fleet of twenty of the ships but now will only build one more (leaving a fleet of twelve), which was under construction already.
