After a year's delay the Isometric Multi Update Life Extension (MULE) has begun. This is the second major rebuild in the Isometric 41A destroyer fleet's life and will keep the ships up-to-date and viable into the mid-2130s which is when they are likely to be withdrawn.
Isometric MULE includes a full refurbishment and replacement of life expired load bearing components. They will be re-engined with Proton RM-01KE e-Core engines, gain TPM-3 support and many other updates. The mine sweeper director ships with Pave Yellow will have this equipment removed.
The first ship to be upgraded has not been named though it is understood the operation has already begun.
