Dual Republic places orders for 15 naval vessels

According to released information from the Defence Ministry, the Dual Republic has decided to place orders for 15 more vessels. Eight of which will come from Narikaton and Darnussia's own Passschiffe Bau AG. Those are modernized and upgraded "Kontrollschiff 1" Class frigates which are designed as multi-porpose vessels and seven orders are for the Snba Prtastat-class from vanukese producer "Jadjohydwasfabrk Hafndam" who are going to serve as anti-air vessels. This marks the completion of the naval expansion phase of the long-term military modernization plan of the Dual Republic. The funds have been gathered for a long time but were constrained during the Clenonberg-era social-policy focused terms and have now been released by the more military friendly Lackmann administration. The Ministry of Defence have not published a clear-timeline yet we expect them to be launch-ready in four to five years. Most of the vessels are temporary designated to become part of the Home Waters Fleet group but are expected to be redistributed to other tasks later along the line.
