''Gibson | ''Sea Lion, Gibson, Lion, Tiger, Barracuda'' represent Arcerion's newest class of submarine and the current workhorse of the Submarine Service. They are primarily engaged with deployments to the Songun and Polynesian Seas, although the ''Sea Lion'' was spotted in Howland Governorate conducting Arctic Trials as part of the Arcerion Navy's commitment to maintaining its Arctic sovereignty. | ||
The ''Sea-Lion'' class serve as the basis for much of the Service's daily operational output. They have modern sensor suites for the collection of intelligence, are exceptionally quiet as they are diesel-electric boats, much like the ''Dolphin''-class, and are primarily aimed at subsurface warfare and the engagement and destruction of enemy surface ships. All ships of the ''Sea Lion''-class engaged and destroyed Varshani ships or Varshani-allied vessels during the Final War of the Deluge. The class also assisted with the sea trials for increased operational effectiveness of the at-sea repleenishment of submarines using submarine tendes. In this instance, Arcerion is one of the few modern navies that still conducts submarine replenishment at-sea, a unique capability that it maintains. | |||
The class has received upgrades since they began to finish sea trials and construction in the late 1990s and early 2000s, ensuring they are still modern boats capable of conducting missions expected of a modern Navy. Unlike the older ''Dolphin''-class, the ''Sea Lion''-class has very little public scrutiny or publicly available information due to the protected nature of the Service's work. As such, details such as maximum dive depth, exact armament, and crew complement are only estimated based off of other contemporary designs from other Occidental nations. | |||
