DESCRIPTION
As part of a partnership between LAIX ARMS and Halcyon Arms, the two companies decided to take a look at the Kraken class SSGN, and Triton class SSBN, their design, and what could be done to take these two designs into the future. LAIX ARMS suggested that with modern advances in weaponry and electronics, the two classes could be merged into one class, with but a modular change in armament.
For LAIX ARMS purposes, the resulting design would be called the Dadao class, complementing the latest SSN and SSK designs completed by LAIX ARMS. For Halcyon Arms, the joint design would result in a simplification of their manufacturing processes, saving them time in building the resulting submarines, while increasing profit, and overall design reliability.
