Shipyard list

[Austi_Scot]

Micotron Naval War Machine has received a partial list of ships available from the ship yard. If the type of ship you desire or your forces need is not here or you need a custom built ship please let us know what we can get done for you.

Types of ships:

Super Carrier : A supercarrier is a warship belonging to the largest class of aircraft carrier, and generally has a displacement greater than 75,000 tons deep load. Supercarriers are the largest warships.

Aircraft carriers : The carriers allow air power to reach most areas of the world.

Submarines : There are two major types of submarines, ballistic and attack. Ballistic submarines have the single strategic mission of nuclear deterrence by being hidden and having launching-platforms for nuclear ICBMs. Attack submarines have tactical missions, including controlling naval and shipping activity, serving as cruise missile-launching platforms, and intelligence-gathering.

Submarine Tender : A type of ship that supplies and supports submarines.

Landing crafts : Boats and seagoing vehicles used to convey a landing force (infantry and vehicles) from the sea to the shore during an amphibious assault. Also available are Air Cushioned (LCAC) class or hovercraft , often called an "over the beach" ("OTB") craft.

Surveillance and intelligence vessels : How much needs to be said? Surface and underwater vessels available.

Icebreakers : An icebreaker is a purpose-built ship for use in waters continuously covered with ice. For use when your forces must reach the land surrounded by frozen sea, the Icebreakers are ships capable of cruising on ice-covered water by breaking through the ice with their strong, heavy, steel bows.

Amphibious warfare assault ships : Amphibious assault ships carry Marines and are the platforms for Marine aircraft. They project power as aircraft carriers do, allowing the military to strike targets from a distance

Battleships : A battleship is a large, heavily armored warship with a main battery consisting of the largest calibre of guns. Battleships were larger, better armed, and better armored than cruisers and destroyers.

Cruisers : The current guided missile cruisers are versatile with capability for air warfare, surface warfare and undersea warfare.

Destroyers : A destroyer is a fast and manoeuverable yet long-endurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet, convoy or battle group and defend them against smaller, short-range but powerful attackers (originally torpedo boats, later submarines and aircraft).

Frigates : Frigates are smaller ships than destroyers. They are designed primarily to protect other ships (such as merchant convoys), and perform some Anti-Submarine Warfare duties. They are of more limited scope than destroyers, but are also more cost-efficient.

Command Ship : Also called "combat Command ships" this ship is built with an internal multipurpose deck (flex deck) and a stern vehicle ramp. The ships serve as command platforms for naval operations or joint staff command, with a containerized command and control centre.

Minelayer : Refers specifically to a naval ship used for deploying sea mines.

Minesweeper : A small naval warship designed to counter the threat posed by naval mines. Minesweepers generally detect then neutralize mines in advance of other naval operations.

Hospital Ship : A ship designated for primary function as a medical treatment facility or hospital, and are intended to be used in or near war zones. Firing on a hospital ship is generally considered a war crime.

Patrol Combatant : Combatants whose mission may extend beyond coastal duties and whose characteristics include adequate endurance and sea keeping providing a capability for operations exceeding 48 hours on the high seas without support.

Amphibious Warfare : Ships having organic capability for amphibious assault and which have characteristics enabling long duration operations on the high seas.

Combat Logistics : Ships that have the capability to provide underway replenishment to fleet units.

Coastal Defense : Ships whose primary function is coastal patrol and interdiction.

Mobile Logistics : Ships that have the capability to provide direct material support to other deployed units operating far from home base.

Support : Also called replenishment ships, the support ship is designed to operate in the open ocean to provide general support to either combatant forces or shore based establishments. Support ships Include smaller auxiliaries which by the nature of their duties, leave inshore waters.

Service Craft : Navy-subordinated craft (including non-self-propelled) designed to provide general support to either combatant forces or shore-based establishments.

Escort : A ship to use alongside a primary ship. Escorts with weapons may be directed to defend the primary ship, or attack an enemy ship. While those with available cargo capacity can be used for bulk hauling. Most common are the aircraft escort, destroyer escort, battleship escort, cruiser escort - all basically performing the same function for a different class of ship.

Monitors : A monitor is a type of relatively small warship, having revolving turrets sometimes used as a fast deploy mechanism for a small force. A monitor can be disguised as a fishing boat when the turrets are removed. There are basically three types of Monitors, the River Monitor, the Open Sea Monitor, as well as the Coastal Monitor. The Coastal Monitor is often used in domestic waters by boarder control.

Gunboats : An armed ship of shallow draft and fast maneuverability, usually accompanies a torpedo boat to keep the crew of the larger warship busy while the torpedo boat is dropping its´ "cargo". The Gunboat is usually equipped with surface-to-surface missiles plus the weapons of the crew.

[i#BF0000]Torpedo boats :[/color][/i] A torpedo boat is a relatively small and fast naval ship designed to carry anti-ship torpedoes into battle. PT Boats are a variety of the motor torpedo boat for "Patrol Torpedo", a small, fast vessel used to attack larger surface ships. These are the swift, small torpedo boats that dash in close to the larger ships, loose their torpedoes and dash away.

Merchant Vessel (MV) : A ship that transports cargo and passengers during peace time. During wars, the same ships are auxiliaries to the navies of their respective countries, and are called upon to deliver military personnel and materiel. An MV can be fitted with monitoring gear below deck.

Research and scientific vessels : Military Survey refers to activities undertaken in the ocean and coastal waters involving marine data collection (whether or not classified) for military purposes. Military surveys can include oceanographic, hydrographic, marine geological, geophysical, chemical, biological, acoustic, and related data. Can also be used during time of peace - oh that´s what you really want it for!

Tankers and oilers: A special class of the Merchant Vessel, the tanker can carry fuel to refuel ships at sea or be to carry home oil purchased abroad to be used for domestic purposes.


Yacht : When primarily used for leisure purposes and not as ruse a yacht is a recreational boat. There are several sizes available and the deck can be equipped as a helicopter pad or even carry a small "recreational" boat that can go up river.

A most impressive list!

If you haven't already seen it, the Anunia Convention, the recwar system upon which SCIRA is based, suggests basic cost/strengths for a number of units. I'm sure it would aid you in appropriately costing your units.
