Kaliburg-Class Destroyer

Last year, the Ministry of Defense placed an order in with KalMilInCo for the construction of fourteen new warships (Four Kaliburg-Class destroyers, four Victor-Class submarines, and six Sativa-Class submarines). Since then, the workers of Kaliburg shipyards have been hard at work to get the ships ready for national defense, no doubt under extreme pressure from the growing insecurity between Kalistan and the powers of Dorvik and Lourenne.

The new ships that have just entered service are two Sativa-Class submarines and a single Kaliburg-Class destroyer, all three of which have been assigned to the Second Fleet and stationed at Port Sweedes. Though each ship is ready for the possibility of combat, their crews are still relatively inexperienced and green, but are expected to catch up with their comrades through extensive training and being fully submerged into the duties of patrolling the Straights.

Kalistan's ship builders are still hard at work constructing the remaining warships, and are hard-pressed to finish ASAP. For the remainder of the year, two more ships are scheduled to be completed and assigned, a Kaliburg-Class destroyer in June and a Victor-Class submarine in August. The construction of the remaining ships should take multiple more years.

The project has been put upon the capable shoulders of Kalistan's recently renationalized industries, in specific KalMilInCo (Responsible for the construction of the ships) and KalNaFerCo (Responsible for the production and provisioning of the steel and aluminum used in the ships).
