Freeport Shipyard



The Freeport Shipyard was founded in 1954 by Nathan Kerrigan as a small fishing boat shipyard. The main reason for the shipyard, known then as the Kerrigan Dock, was to export fish to other islands and receive lobster from McLean's town. In 1955, Wallace Groves, a Virginia financier, was granted several thousand acres around the Dock. He called this settlement Freeport. In 1960, Kerrigan went out of business and sold his dock to Groves, who was interested in developing trade. He started several drydocks in the area to help build container ships. When Groves died in 1975, he left the docks to his son, Marcus Groves, who continued to expand the docks to include fishing boats and corvettes, as well as the classic container vessels.

Background

Grand Bahama recently obtained independence from the Bahamas, although Bahamian military forces refused to leave from Sweeting Cay. The Grand Bahamian Marine Corps launched an ill-fated assault on the island. The defenders were dug in and well defended. The Grand Bahamian Navy had obtained several landing craft from outside companies, but these landing craft did not work well in the assault. Thousands of men died when the assault craft broke down. The Grand Bahamian Navy realized that it would need to develop a better assault craft that could carry more men safely. The end result was the Queen Conch- class landing craft. Capable of carrying up to 800 fully clad marines, this ship is equipped with the finest of Grand Bahamian technology.

Armament and Fire Control



The main armament of this class is the RIM-116 Rolling Airframe missile launcher, although these have been specially configured to accept most types of missiles. The ones the Grand Bahamian Navy uses are Sky World Weapons SA100 Pelican model, which are lightweight weapons. These launchers are mainly used to protect the vessel from point-blank cruise missiles as well as low-flying bomber aircraft. The launchers themselves are specially equipped to roll around very fast to track quick-moving aircraft, but the missiles themselves are infrared homing missiles. On board a Queen conch-class landing craft there are three of these missile launchers.



The other main armament of this class is the Mk44 Bushmaster II 30mm caliber chain gun, capable of firing 100-200 rounds per minute. This weapon is intended to clear out any defending vessels or defense installations if they haven't been cleared out already. On board a Queen conch-class landing craft there are five of these chain guns.



There are several of the Mark 41 Vertical Launching Systems on board a Queen conch-class. These launchers provide rapid-fire capacity against hostile threats.



Depending on the variant of the landing craft, there are between eight and ten Browning heavy machine guns on board.

Powerplant



There are four Bahama Engine MD5000 turbocharged marine diesel engines on board a Queen conch-class. The normal speed of this craft is twenty-two knots, although in emergency situations this craft can go to its high speed of thirty-one knots.
