Four Falcons withdrawn

NS has withdrawn four Falcon 47As, the NS operated Dinomark XT, as NS begins it's deep cuts to the amphibious warfare squadron of the Space Fleet. The four ships were due to receive heavy overhauls and NS has decided to save money by withdrawing the ships instead. Three more could be withdrawn later in the year. An NS source said that NS might keep ten Falcons.

Eight Falcon 47Ws, which have an underwater capability, are also in service and these might all be kept as the flexibility is useful for special forces operations and security.

NS are not seeking to sell it's surplus Falcons, the ships may simply be stripped for spares.
