Raritan Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Copied from another news thread: CANN - Central Ardorian News NetworkARDORIA BEGINS DEVELOPMENT OF THE OUTER BANKS Roanoke (CANN) -- The Ardorian Central Government announced early today that it would be beginning the development of Roanoke Island and the Outer Banks into port and naval facilities. The new port and naval base, to be named the "Port of Roanoke" and "Roanoke Naval Shipyard and Air Station" respectively, will be constructed over the next two years. The Port of Roanoke will complement the already complete Port of Kanfhour 100 miles to the southwest. The Port of Roanoke be built on the mainland across from Roanoke Island and will have four deepwater berths for container ships, a new bulk cargo terminal for ores and coal with three berths, and an oil terminal with three berths for medium-large tankers. An offshore mooring platform will be built to allow supertankers to dock and offload oil. The Roanoke Naval Shipyard and Air Station will be built on the island itself and house a Naval Air Station with two runways and a Naval Shipyard with three drydocks, ten berths for naval vessels and a coast guard station. The three drydocks will be capable of constructing and repairing small naval vessels from coast guard cutters up to corvettes and small destroyers. The project also encompasses a channel widening and deepening for the entrance into the Roanoke Sound, installation of navigational aids, and transportation infrastructure to the rest of Ardoria. A press conference will be held tomorrow in front of the House of Parliament. Edited November 29, 2008 by Raritan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raritan Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY DREDGING PROJECT ANNOUNCED Kanfhour (CANN) -- With construction of the new Port of Roanoke now underway, a dredging project to deepen the Pamlico Sound shipping lanes is in the works. The increased depth will allow larger ships to travel between Roanoke and Kanfhou without having to exit into the Atlantic OCean and reenter Ardorian waters. Also included in the project is the widening and deepening of the Neuse Canal which connects the Neuse River to the Port of Kanfhour. Dredging is expected to be complete in one year followed by the installation of navigational aids for ships transiting the waterway. "The new shipping lanes will help build the Ardorian economy through a more efficient means of through our inland waterways," the Ardorian president stated.

These vessels will be used by harbor pilots and the Coast Guard to escort ships into and out of Ardorian harbors.

Cody Seb Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 OOC: I think their conflict with recognizing this lies with the fact that a single nation can't have that many destroyers. It's a loophole since Poland and Prussia combined, they can have more, and they sold an entire old fleet of destroyers to him. What's more, the nation in question receiving the ships can't support a navy, much less one so large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOC: I don't see a problem with the destroyers. They're Spruance class equivelents (it's within my tech range, it's not like their equipped with Aegis or anything like that). Also more than half of those ships are corvettes (they're less than 300 feet long and are only lightly armed). See Rebel Virginia's navy. He has the same tech level, and even less infra and land than I do, yet he actually has a larger navy than I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is irrelevant, as the precedent has been set against me. OOC: The thing is, I think destroyers are very overrated in CN itself. In the real world, destroyers are the escorts, not the ones being escorted (like in carrier battle groups or for amphibious assault ships which are underrated in CN).

Raritan Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 PAMLICO SOUND DREDGING COMPLETE Roanoke (CANN) -- The dredging project to widen and deepen the Intracoastal Waterway (also known as the Pamlico Canal) was completed today. The maximum draft (depth for ships) was increased to 50 feet (15 meters) and the shipping lane has been expanded to allow for two-way traffic between Roanoke and Kanfhour. The Port of Roanoke is also now 50% complete and should be opening for commercial shipping within the next few months. It is expected to relieve some of the congestion the Port of Kanfhour currently experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
