Charcarodon-class submarine

The Charcaradon class (or Suffren class) is a nuclear attack submarine, designed by the Pelaxian shipbuilder NEXLORA for the Armada of Pelaxia and the Fhainnin Office of the National Army. It is intended to replace the Tiago-class submarines. Construction began in 2024 and the first batch will be commissioned on November 2035. Full operational capability is not anticipated until 2036.

Computer Systems and Localization
Due to a desire to maintain national security breaches, both nations involved in the designing of the Carcharodon Class used their own components in the computer systems of their respective vessels, with a team of Fhainnin professionals flying in for the hull and interior markings on the northbound hulls. This caused some confusion as one hull (hull seven) was accidentally marked by both nations, with the Fhainnin government paying for the man-hours to remove their markings.

Manufacturing
The Carcharodon was first laid down in Villa Delfia, Pelaxia, on 2024. A total of seven hulls will be constructed for the Armada of Pelaxia and six for the Fhainnin Office of the National Army. Faneria provided several teams of laborers to assist with the reactor, electronics, propulsion, and weapons systems, while the hull construction teams and raw materials are being provided solely by the Pelaxian government. Faneria bankrolled the construction of nine of the thirteen planned vessels in exchange for using the better-developed Pelaxian submarine facilities and working with its more seasoned designers, allowing its engineers to gain experience that will be valuable in constructing a specialist drydock in Sethsport and in further development of Faneria’s submarine-related industrial processes.
