Subject: E Next Generation Submarine Tender
SSK International is the export arm of the Saewoo-Sto-Klatchan Group; though we were only formed as a specific entity in 2017, we have decades of experience at the cutting edge of Mundus' military technology. Our maritime arm has produced vessels which have served with distinction in the Dijeli and Achkaerinese Navies, and the product which we are offering in this tender is currently under consideration by another major customer.
The vessel which we are putting forward for this tender is a varient of the
Type S Fleet Attack Submarine, a state-of-the-art piece of military equipment which first entered service with the FDDF in 2015. Utilizing the same ultra-quiet hull, x-form tailplane and pump-jet propulsion, we shall modify the internal machinery of the type to accept a diesel-electric power plant, based upon our previous experience with such drives. This we shall term the Type SE.
We feel these vessels would fit your requirements well:
-Displacement: Type S boats displace 4,700t while surfaced, and 5,300t submerged, with the completed Type SEs expected to come in somewhat lighter.
-Accommodation: The base Type S submarine design provides berths for twelve (12) additional crew, on top of their usual compliment, and this space shall be expanded for the Type SE, utilizing additional space freed up with the use of a more compact power plant. An optional blister may be located aft of the conning tower to provide stowage for commando watercraft and other specialist equipment.
-Launch Tubes and Weaponry : The Type SE shall share its predecessor's four bow-mounted 533mm (21 inch) torpedo tubes, compatible with a range of guided and unguided torpedoes, as well MOSS decoy systems and missiles.
-Diesel electric-propulsion: The Type SE shall be fitted with a classic diesel-electric propulsion system with proven lead-acid batteries to provide submerged power. Range is estimated to be in the region of 18,000nm at 10Kn, while running on the surface.
The original cost for the design and delivery of the twelve Type S vessels ordered by the FDDF came to $1.296 Billion/hull ($15.552 Billion total programme cost). Accounting for the additional design work required to properly configure the Type SE for your needs, we'd be willing to offer the licences at the following prices:
1 vessel = $350M
2 vessels = $600M
3 vessels = $850M
4 vessels = $1.1Bn
With any further vessels commanding a fixed licence fee of $150M per unit.
