Kabamlyan naval procurement

[Kabamlya]

One of the biggest weaknesses of the Kabamlyan military has always been the navy that has been neglected throughout the years. To respond to the threat of increased piracy, illegal immigration waves and the increased risk of naval invasion, the Kabamlyan defence department has initiated a program to reform the navy in order to improve its coastal defence capabilities. At the moment, the navy only has 8 old Soviet Osa-class missile boats. The defence department has allocated a total of 20 billion Shkuras (roughly 10 billion US dollars) to be used in a period 10 years to increase the amount of warships at its disposal.

Official Communique of Kabamlyan Defence Department
To: National and private military companies in the business of warships

The Kabamlyan People's Navy is looking to test and purchase naval vessels of frigate, corvette and fast attack craft classes. The purchased ships can be ships that have been retired from previous service or freshly produced ones. The Naval Reform Committee has decided on the following requirements for the warships and the available funds for their purchase:

Frigates (5 billion US dollars)

A speed of at least 25 knots
An operational range of 7000 km
Relatively modern or modern air and surface radar and sonar
At least one gun of at least 100 mm in caliber or At least two guns of at least 40 mm in caliber
At least one anti-submarine missile launcher
At least one surface-to-air missile launcher
At least four anti-ship missile launchers
Preferred to have a small caliber anti-air cannon but can be ignored if anti-air missile capability is sufficient enough

Corvettes (3 billion US dollars)

A speed of at least 25 knots
An operational range of 6000 km
Relatively modern or modern air and surface radar and sonar
At least one gun of at least 40 mm in caliber
At least one anti-submarine missile launcher
At least three surface-to-air missile launchers
At least one anti-ship missile launcher
At least one small caliber anti-air cannon

Fast Attack Crafts (2 billion US dollars)

A speed of at least 30 knots
An operational range of 1000 km
Relatively modern or modern air and surface radar and sonar
At least one gun of at least 40 mm in caliber
At least one torpedo launcher
At least one surface-to-air missile launcher
At least four anti-ship missile launchers
At least one small caliber anti-air cannon

Note: The above specifications should act as guide lines for offering nations/companies and can be altered depending on the offer.

Additional requirements of the deal as required by the Naval Reform Committee

1. Countries/companies may partake in offering of just one warship class or multiple
2. The purchase will be paid to the offering party in a time period of ten (10) consecutive years
3. The purchase will include a training program to sufficient number of Kabamlyan servicemen who can then train the crews of the next warships
4. If required, the purchase will also include licenses for munitions manufacturing or a deal for the Kabamlyan People's Navy to purchase munitions from the offering party
5. Before the purchase, a trial period of one month will take place. In case of an already existing ship, the offering party will demonstrate the vessel's capabilities on Kabamlyan waters before the purchase is made. If the ships have to be manufactured, the Kabamlyan People's Navy will pay for a one piece prototype run, after which the ship will undergo the same demonstration as an existing vessel. The trial period does not guarantee a purchase by the Kabamlyan People's Navy
6. If the ship(s) need to be manufactured, a local Kabamlyan production is preferred with manufacturing lead by the Kabamlyan State Dockyards. Foreign manufacturing is acceptable in special circumstances
7. The decision of purchase will be made by Chief-of-Naval-Equipment Admiral Dmitri Fyodorov and the head of Kabamlyan State Dockyards Mr. Vladimir Sokoloff, both of which also act as the head members of the Naval Reform Committee

On behalf of the Defence Department I apologise for the late response. Yes, we'd be interested in these ships. Could possibly provide more detailed specifications of the vessels in question?

Hello Comrade! SO sorry to hear of your Navy's distress! We can give you two Yahvaxl Warships if you need them. The Yahvaxl is a Cianlandian invention. The ship is aprrox. 2,500 sq feet, has 100 guns can move with medium speed, will probably last a couple decades, and can carry a max. total of 1500 soldiers. All we ask for is an endorsement (if your in the world assembly) and 1 billion Kaashariks, roughly equivalent to about 1 billion and 5 US dollars. The extra 5 dollars is usually so the Naval Minister can by herself some toilet paper. (GOvernment buildings are beginning to run very low on tiolet paper)

We would be able to produce a modification of earlier T.U.S.K destroyers, however none of our vessels use guns any more. We rely on missiles for the most part.
