king of cochin Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 The first four Yankee class submarines have started their sea trials prior to commissioning into Royal Cochin Navy. The submarine built at Bosaso Shipyard had been brought to Gosree aboard a floating dry dock, propelled with an additional Ocean tug and protected by the cruiser CNS Excalibur. The increased presence of potential hostile navies in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea caused an aerial escort formed by land based JM2s from Bosaso and Gosree to provide additional cover for this convoy. Having reached Gosree without incidents, the Yankee class submarine was launched to sea along with its 3 sister boats to commence their trials. Though they have not named yet, they have received call signs from Royal Cochin Navy. They are: SY01 (Built at Gosree) SY02 (Built at Bosaso) SY03 (Built at Ratnagiri) SY04 (Built at Issykkul) The SY04 is the first submarine to be built at the new Cochin Shipyard plant at the banks of the Lake Issykkul. Having been built and assembled in this shipyard and tested in the salt waters of Lake Issykkul it was loaded aboard a special military train which transported this submarine to RCNB Gosree where it was unloaded and launched to sea. A special set of locomotives were used for this operation and the train itself was protected by a team from Royal Cochin Special Forces.

Due to the reduction in strategic borders to be covered and in lieu of the secession of certain territorial provinces the Royal Cochin Army is being downsized. The new numbers of combat personnel are: Combat Personnel : 445,620 Total Main Battle Tanks : 4456 In order to effect these personnel changes the following military units are hereby delegated for temporary decommissioning. Cochin's Armor - 3 SAD King's Armor - 4 SAD Zamorin Horse - VII ACR Royal Wodeyar Cavalry - VIII ACR Goundar Regiment - III MD Naykar Regiment - VII MD Infantry Regiments - II, III, XI, XII The personnel of these regiments would be integrated into non combat oriented roles and their combat equipments would be put under National Defense Reserves inventory. Royal Cochin Navy would continue to hold the following fleet units under reserve fleet status Frigate - 1 CNS Maneckshaw (FR07) Cruiser - 1 CNS Ranger (CR07) LST/ helicopter carrier - 2 CNS Shivaji (H08) CNS Pazshassi (H09) Corvette - 2 CNS Shashka (CV08) CNS Szabla (CV09) Zulu Class Attack Submarine - 6 CNS Urumqi (SZ01) CNS Bishkek (SZ02) CNS Almaty (SZ03) CNS Lhasa (SZ04) CNS Yining (SZ05) CNS Naryn (SZ06) The personnel of these ships would continue to maintain and operate these vessels however they are unlikely to be used for combat deployments.

There would also be no reduction in combat personnel of Border Guards and Royal Cochin Coast Guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
