"No arms race with Luthori." according to Dorvish State Chancellor

November, 5724

State Chancellor Wilhelm von Bahr was questioned recently about the recent announcement that Luthori would be expanding their naval power exponentially in the coming years. The State Chancellor replied to members of both the domestic and foreign press that the actions of Dorvish neighbors do not concern them at all and that the development of a nations defense capabilities are within their sovereign prerogative. "I certainly hope that the Luthorian naval program goes well for them and they don't experience some of the growing pains that we've had over our history." The State Chancellor kept the mood light despite rumors that the Dorvish intended to kick off their own "rearmament" program.

One reporter asked if the Dorvish had any plans to "respond" to the Luthorian announcement, the State Chancellor noted that the Dorvish Navy was undergoing a massive modernization and "refresh" after several years of mismanagement underneath the previous government. This comes on the heels of the announcement that the Dorvish aircraft carriers have largely been drydocked for the past decade for a variety of issues, including upgrades and updates to the Dorvish nuclear aircraft carriers that were sidelined due to budgetary issues. The Dorvish have maintained less of presence worldwide then they have in previous centuries but this recent uptick might prompt that to change.
