[Polish Prussian Commonwealth]

The Bronislaw Advanced/Strategic Economic Development and Import/Export Corporation(BASED IE Corp) would like to offer submit the following proposal in response to the Joyean Navy's request for information.

Nation Name: Bronislaw Advanced/Strategic Economic Development and Import/Export Corporation(BASED IE Corp)(Prussian-Polish Commonwealth)
Lightship Class Name: Trap-class Lightship
Light wattage: 400 watt Tungesten bulb, producing a total of 5250 lumens. While it violates the conditions, technically, we at BASED IE Corporation would like to note that it is the lumens(that is, the intensity of the light produced) that matters; watts are a measure of electricity usage. Our high-efficency tungesten bulbs allow for high luminosity at lower energy usage.

Total Crew Number: 50 minimum.
How many officers: 5
How many enlisted: 40
How many warrant officer (none needed): 5
Any other crew (civilian crew, optional): N/A
Will this vessel have a helicopter: Modifications to have a flight deck can be made, capable of hosting 1 UH-60.
How months worth of food and water is kept on board: Unsure, but 5,000 tons of goods can be stored onboard. Due to this, a great deal of rations and water can be stored aboard. For example, it can carry 21 months of MREs without breaking a sweat.
How is your vessel going to be powered: Two oil-fired boilers, triple-expansion steam engine, single screw, 2,500 hp
How often will a new crew need to be supplied: Every 180 days or so, but crew can be sustained for far longer assuming proper rationing of food and water.
Will there be life boats or life rafts onboard: Yes.
If you answered yes to the above question specify of they are boats or rafts and how many there will be
[4] boats
[ ] rafts
Please provide an image of your vessel: A Liberty Ship, upon which our design derives from.
Notes:

Speed will be roughly 11.5 knots. Range will be roughly 20,000 nmi. The vessel comes with 1 5-inch gun, 1 3-inch gun, 2 20mm autocannons, and 2 .50 heavy machine guns, as well as an optional 'bolt-on' Sea Sparrow canister to allow limited anti-air capability. Further armament may be arranged, but is not suggested.

The design also possesses a foghorn, a powerful multi-purpose radar, a radio receiver and transmitter, both an integral and a towed sonar, basic anti-missile countermeasures(mainly chaff dispensers), jammers, and a datalink, enabling it to be used as a radar picket or in EW roles.
BASED IE Co suggests that this craft be used not only in traditional lightship roles, but also as, potentially, a long-range warm-water patrol and antipiracy craft.

The Bronislaw Advanced/Strategic Economic Development and Import/Export Corporation is ready, should it's offer be accepted, to provide 2 Trap-class lightships within a month, and 3 more over a period of several more months. It only requests that it hold ultimate control over the naming of the vessels.

Sunday, 8th of August, 2020.

Dear Sir and/or Ma'am,
it has come to our attention, that Joyean Armed Forces are suspected of sinking the Cruise Liner OFS Voyager. This terrible act of savagery can not stand and neither SDY nor Bád Industries wish to be associated with a nation, which commits such atrocities.
In the light of this, SDY retracts their bid to the Competition for a new manned lightship for the Joyean Naval Coastal Light Service. As such, the Solteach-class Light Vessel will NOT be part of this competition.
We apologize for any confusion we might have caused you and wish you the best of luck with your procurement efforts.

Signed,
