Krok Industries launch Swordfish programme with 26 on order

Krok Industries has officially announced it's DTA Patrol Ship called Swordfish. This is said to be an update on the unsuccessful Dinomark GL concept which lost out to the Dinomark PT. The Swordfish has a number of provisional orders already as DTA members seek to replace life expired ships or replace stalled orders from other suppliers.

New Arit has ordered 12 Swordfish to replace it's fleet of 11 Kalahati Tuuls, Arit also said they will not now order a sixth Pentekonter though they have just received a fifth. Sirikwan has ordered 8 Swordfish, this will replace the 8 Shark SKH-E patrol ships which have been delayed due to manufacturing issues in the Clone Star Empire, the Shark order is reported to have been canceled. Finally, the Voth Space Navy has ordered 6 Swordfish to replace their Kalahati Tuuls.

The Dino Army has also placed a development programme contract for the Swordfish to be developed the platform into a Dinomark PT replacement (ironically) in the early 2130s. Work on the Swordfish is now fully underway, Krok Industries hope to have the prototype ready for testing next year, entry into service is planned for 2126. The speed of this development indicates Krok Industries has been keeping the GL programme up-to-date for a number of years.
