Fleet Book 1 Reinforcements
The ships mentioned in Fleet Book 1 text but not included as designs or miniatures.

 

NAC - New Anglian Confederation

The New Anglian Confederation Royal Space Navy

 

Full Thrust Fleet Book: Volume 1 lists stats for the original line of NAC miniatures.  In the description text, some specific variants are detailed, other ship classes are mentioned by name, and there are references to other unnamed classes of ships.  This is an attempt to flesh out these other classes or ships and fully define the variants mentioned.  These ships should follow the design philosophies used by other NAC ships allowing them to fit nicely into anyone's NAC fleet.

 

Older and outdated classes may have a mass penalty in the ship designs to account for older less efficient systems compared the to the current tech level of 'modern' ships in that fleet.

 

Frigates
"The Minerva is the class name of the second-generation refit of the earlier Miyazaki class frigates; all but a small handful of Miyazaki class ships (originally built in the late 2160's were striped and rebuilt to the Minerva specification"

"The main class variant is the Minerva/A which has only one class-1 beam battery for offensive fire but carries an Area Defense Fire Control system and an additional PDS installation in place of the class-2 battery and the other class-1; this version is commonly used as an anti-fighter close escort for merchant convoys and support ships."

Light Cruisers
"The Huron is a rebuild of the earlier Hoshino class hulls that were built between 2157 and 2165; the lack of suitable replacement CL designs in the mid-2170's caused the Admiralty to look at ways of extending the service life of the obsolete Hoshinos."

Escort Cruisers
"A specialized Salvo Missile armed variant of the Furious class is in service, which dispenses with the class 3 battery, the ADFC and the P-torp tube in order to make space for one SM launcher and a 3 salvo (mass 6) magazine, plus an additional class-1 beam battery."

Heavy Cruisers
"A 2175 refit programme converted a number of ships to a variant classed as the Vandenburg/T, in which the drive units have been down-rated to thrust-4 and the resulting additional payload mass used to mount two fore-firing P-torp tubes.  These torp-armed cruisers provide a useful heavy anti-ship capability to NAC cruiser task forces."

Battledreadnoughts
"The Excalibur was introduced to service quite recently as a replacement for the Avalon class BDNs built in the mid-2160s.  The Avalon class was never a very successful design, and in 2176, a decision was taken to rebuild all remaining Avalon hulls into the newer Excalibur configuration, which entailed significant full modifications and complete internal upgrading.  Rather than recall all the ships en masse and leave the fleet seriously understrength, the refit programe has been spread out over several years as the Avalons are rotated back to major fleet bases for overhaul; as of 2183 there are still a small number of unconverted ships in service in outlying regions"

"There are many minor weapons fit variations within the ships of the Valley Forge class; some ships operate only one fighter group rather than two, and replace the second hanger bay with a fore-mounted SML system and Mass-6 magazine for it.  Two ships, RNS Richmond and Agincourt, actually have both hangers removed and replaced with SML armament (2 launchers) and magazine space."
