I don't know about wave motion guns (never liked them). Class 3 screens and
improved PDS (how many times do the FSE slaughter me) might be the go,
protecting our investment. I basically see there being 4 fleets for the OU. A
battlefleet of top class heavy warships though few in number. All would be
kept upto the very highest standard even though the hulls might be quite old.
A Security fleet of crusiers and destroyers to investigate incidents, conduct
deep patrols and backup the Patrol fleet. The patrol fleet would have large
numbers of smaller craft with very good sensors. A reserve fleet with a
variety of older units that are not quite obsolete but not upto latest
standard, manned by reservists that can be demothballed quickly to reinforce
the fleet in times of emergency. Small numbers of ships compared to similar
sized nations would allow for a continual refit program without too much
expense. I think the OU would emphasise firepower on its ships. Hit hard, hit
fast, hit first and leave no survivors. The Battlefleet would represent a
considerable investment so that such ships would have heavy defences and look
like the NSL with screens.
