Krakon Class Attack Submarine
Krakon class subs are designed to be larger, faster, more manueverable and significantly quieter then potential opponents; they also carry more weapons and have twice as many torpedo tubes, for a total of 8. As a result of their advanced design, however, Krakon subs are much more expensive. They are intended to combat the threat of large numbers of advanced enemy submarines.
The Krakon utilizes an advanced titanium alloy that gives it a depth of 4200 feet. That is about the depth of the Soviet submarine K-278 Komsomolets. Instead of periscopes, the subs have a pair of extendable photonics masts outside the pressure hull. Each contains several high-resolution cameras with light-intensification and infrared sensors, an infrared laser rangefinder, and an integrated Electronic Support Measures (ESM) array. Signals from the masts' sensors are transmitted to the control center. The subs also make use of pump-jet propulsors for quieter operations. The subs contain an advanced electromagnetic signature reduction system.
The advanced ARC-1 combat system includes a large Conformal active/passive bow array, a Conformal Acoustic Velocity Sonar (CAVES) WAA, and a towed-array sonar. CAVES is a "smart skin" sonar using numerous fiber-optic accelerometers buried in the submarine's anechoic coating. These sensors detect sound by their movement and combined with the Bow array and towed array provide the ARC-1 unparalleled ability to identify and pinpoint enemy positions with a highly accurate 3d image. The ARC-1 uses a optimal combination of low and medium wavelengths for maximum range and accuracy of data.
The Krakon uses 4 88-inch (2.2 m) diameter large vertical launch systems (VLS) to carry a wide array of missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles or other equipment. Each VLS system can carry a 7 tube cluster of Seahag Cruise Missiles for a total of 28 missiles or Tigershark Cruise Missiles or a variety of unmanned vehicles. The missile tubes can also carry ASROC or any other weapon available for standard VLS tubes.
For special operations, the Advanced Swimmer Delivery System and the Dry Deck Shelter can be mounted on the lock out chambers and the boat will be able to host up to 66 special operations soldiers. Improved communications equipment installed during the upgrade allows the submarines to serve as a forward-deployed, clandestine Small Combatant Joint Command Center.
The Mark-10 torpedo has a 300kg warhead. It is capable of operating with or without wire guidance and uses either or both active and passive homing. Range is 60km (active) and 40km (passive).

Archer Class Carrier
The Archer Class Nuclear Powered Carrier, the centerpiece of our next generation carrier Fleet, is a large-deck, nuclear-powered ship. Featuring newly designed and integrated combat systems that eliminates rotating antennas. Archer Nuclear Carrier incorporates new integrated combat systems, and advanced nuclear propulsion plant and a new electrical power and distribution system. Carriers will feature additional new technologies including an Electromagnetic Aircraft Launching System (EMALS), an Electromagnetic Aircraft Recovery System (EARS), improved crew habitability, survivability improvements, performance improvements, and new functional arrangements and distributed systems.
The Archer Nuclear Carrier is designed to deliver more combat power through its ability to arm and refuel, launch, and recover aircraft more rapidly and effectively than current ships. An advanced weapons-information management systems automates the process of weapons movement from magazines to aircraft. The electromagnetic aircraft launching and arresting systems require less wind across the deck for aircraft launch recovery, and significantly accelerates the process of "turning around" combat aircraft and generating high sortie rates. The Archer Nuclear Carrier is optimized to support the Chimera ATF.
The Archer Nuclear Carrier features a substantially smaller redesigned command "island" (the carrier superstructure) than current aircraft carriers, as well multifunction arrays that replace the forest of antennas that current ships sprout, making the carrier inherently harder to detect and attack. Finally, a redundant electrical grid system and advanced damage-control features make the ship more capable of surviving battle damage.
