A Communiqué from the Communist Quinntopia War Commissariat





The lack of available vessels in the People's Revolutionary Navy has created worry in the People's Paradise, as many believe that this poses a threat to homeland security should Communist Quinntopia be attacked. Because of this, the People's Revolutionary Navy hereby announces that the following new classes of vessels shall be brought into service.

Here are the specifications for each vessel:

Inferno Class Aircraft Carrier - Specification


Partisan Class Battleship - Specification

These two new vessels are expected to be completed within the next 12 months*.

The People's Revolutionary Navy will also be constructing one new Liebknecht Class Cruiser and one Muntano Class Destroyer and Patelone Class Destroyer each. These 3 ships are expected to be ready within 8-10 months**. These changes will increase the size of the armed fleet of the People's Revolutionary Navy to 41 vessels, excluding landing craft and patrol boats, and will cost between 8 and 9 billion Universal Dollars. The GDP of Communist Quinntopia is approximately
C₡1.2 trillion (1.2 trillion Communist Credits - approx. 222 billion Universal Dollars), so the economy should be able to handle the expenditure of constructing and maintaining the vessels.

The vessels shall be commissioned immediately after their completion.

In Solidarity,

Ivan Toralo
Chief Commissar of the Communist Quinntopia War Commissariat



OOC:

* 12 RP months (i.e. 1 day=1 month), so realistically, I'll have these vessels in about 12 days.
** Again, using the 1 day=1 month rule.

Also remember the both ships have weaknesses, for example, 1-2+ battleships or a couple of dozen planes - in particular, submarines!

Imperial Dispatch
Licencing of Inferno Class


The First Empire hereby notes her interest in acquiring the licencing rights to produce two Inferno Class Carriers for the Imperial Navy. Much like the navy of Quinntopia the Imperial Navy has seen its responsibilities around the world increase and, as such, the size of our navy must increase to meet these increased demands. I hope to acquire the rights to construct two of these impressive carriers for the Imperial Navy.

The Imperial Navy will expand to increase our capability and stand alongside our Quinntpian allies as partners for global peace and security. To meet those ends I announce the following projects of the Imperial Navy:

A total of twenty Resolute Class Frigates will be constructed.

Ten further Ruby Class Submarines are to be constructed.

Twelve further Steadfast Class Cruisers are ordered for construction.

Three Minstrel Class amphibious assault ships.

The Imperial Navy has also noted its intention to construct two further Celestial Class Battleships in their modernized configuration.

We hope to continue the spirit and tradition of cooperation and interoperability between the navies of Quinntopia and Neo Rokkenjima.

Ronove
Prime Minister
Neo Rokkenjima


OOC: Matthew, what would you figure is a realistic timetable for me to acquire the above? I appreciate your suggestions to preserve realism. =)

(OOC: Wow. If it was a couple of each ships I'd say about 2 RP years, but with the massive scale of your naval expansion, even taking into account the fact that these things will be being produced at multiple shipyards and factories, I'd say 3-4 RP years as a minimum, with 10 RP years being an absolute maximum. I'm not entirely sure what to go for, but I'd say something between 4 and 6 RP years).

Comrade Ronove,

The People's Paradise has no qualms with your application for licensing rights to produce two Inferno Class Aircraft Carriers. Should you display interest in seeking licensing rights to, or purchasing other vessels of the People's Revolutionary Navy, we would be glad to co-operate with you. We too, look forward to further co-operation between the People's Revolutionary Navy and the Imperial Navy in the hope that it keeps the bonds between our two nations strong.

In Solidarity,

Tørsten Sikarov
Chief Commissar of the Communist Quinntopia Trade Commissariat

TO: Government of Communist Quinntopia

We the nation of Chernobereg also intend expansion of the navy, and to this end we request the right to build one Inferno-class aircraft carrier under license at the Nikolaevsky Shipyards. This is part of a proposed naval buildup - this is currently the only approved part so far.

Thanks in advance.

Licencing of Inferno Class




Mr. Sikarov,

The Imperial Navy will be pleased to hear of the acceptance of our application to license these rights. Imperial High Command always explores all options before it and, as a customer of Quinntopian shipbuilders in the past, this arrangement is seen as greatly beneficial. Likewise, if Quinntopia issues similar requests for Rokkenjiman vessels their approval is most certainly guaranteed.

Respectfully,
Sir Ronove
Prime Minister of Neo Rokkenjia



OOC: Thankies again! I figured with replacing older ships and the expanding naval roles that we're seeing now was the time to explore a larger navy. Rokkenjima, as an island nation, would prioritize its navy over other branches, so I think these efforts are within expectation too.

An update on the current progress of construction:
  • The new Liebknecht Class Cruiser, Muntano Class Destroyer and Patelone Class Destroyer have now been completed. These are ready for deployment by the PRN.
  • The Inferno Class Aircraft Carrier and Partisan Class Battleship are due to be completed in about 2 months.

If anyone else would like to request licensing rights to build either one of these ships, we would welcome the opportunity.
