Third Walrus SSBN enters service

The third Walrus ballistic missile submarine has entered service with the Clone Navy. It is understood that the ship will be only equipped with the CSM version of SeaGale (SeaCSM) and not normal SLBMs. The other two Walrus will also be re-equipped with SeaCSM when they complete their current patrols or maintenance cycles. Admiral Anderson said that the Walrus fleet, which will eventually number six, will become the key component of the Clone interstellar nuclear deterrent.

The veteran training ship CNSS Warhammer which was also used an auxiliary attack asset will now revert to just the training role.
