| Defence Secretary unveils naval expansion plans March 4950 [post-dated] ACKERLEY, SHIPLEYRIDING — Luthori is to begin the world's largest naval modernisation and expansion programme in centuries, Defence Secretary Vic Scoles announced earlier today at a press conference in Ackerley, historically one of the country's major shipbuilding centres. "A strong navy is not just key to our national pride, as the world's foremost naval superpower in times regrettably gone by, but also our ability to project power around the globe," said Mr Scoles. "As part of the government's plans we are committed to building ten new shipyards, five here in the Shipleyriding and another five in the Middenriding, creating tens of thousands of new jobs. Not just will they provide opportunities and good pay, but also meaningful work and purpose for communities." First of twelve frigates launched October 4954 SWANSTEAD, SHIPLEYRIDING — The first of Luthori's planned twelve new frigates was launched today at Swanstead Naval Base in the Shipleyriding, an event personally attended by Defence Secretary Vic Scoles. The Plumeswood, named for the famed sea captain and native of Swanstead who served under Christopher Dove during his discovery of Dovani, is due to enter service in late 4955. "This is just the beginning for the revival of Luthori's power at sea; even going beyond the ships ordered but yet to be built and launched, the government's naval programme will take another twenty years to be completed. This is a historic step forward in reaching that lofty goal, and our congratulations and gratitude must go to the workers who built it here in Swanstead," said the defence secretary. |
