Today, in a ceremony presided over by the Emperor, the Imperial Constantine Navy commissioned two of the first of a new class of ships. The Nepune Class ships are the fastest naval warships in the world that travel at 65 Knots in calm sea, equivalent to almost 75 mph. The ships have been catergorised as costal corvette but have also been called missile torpedo boats. They reprsent an increase in Naval power of a green water navy. They will be based in the new Naval base in the straits between the two halves of the empire and will be used to protect trade and the citizens who go from one half to the other.

The Constantine Imperial Coast Guard have shown large interest in buying one or two of these vessels due to their speed.

In warfare these ships would be used as a group that could go in fast and unnoticed, due to their stealth technology, and get out just as quick. They are armed with the following: 8 Kongsberg Naval Strike Missiles, 76mm Oto Breda Super Rapid multi-role cannon, Mistral Surface to air missile 12.7mm gun and defended by the MASS decoy system.

As only 15 men are needed to man the craft they are easy to maintain and cheap compared to other ships. At least ten are expected to be ordered and as they are quick to make all of these will be delivered by the end of the year. All ten would only weigh 2,745 tonnes together and would take only 150 men to man them.
