The Orca-class submarine is a class of conventionally powered multipurpose attack and ballistic missile submarines in service of the Daoan Congressional Republic Navy built by Khuat Shipyards and Bao Marine. The Orca-class was built upon the lessons and experience from the construction and operation of the license-built Shark-class submarines from Tsurushima. Improvements implemented upon the Orca-class includes; introduction of an Air-independent propulsion system, a substantial amount of automation which reduces crew complement, significant payload capacity increase, enhanced underwater endurance and superlative ergonomics. The Orca's primary role is to serve as a deterrent against possible military aggression towards Daobac from either Yunxia or any other powers in the region. Its primary armament includes a 12-cell Vertical Launching System equipped with either submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) or land attack cruise missiles. For anti-submarine warfare it is equipped with the standard Type 10 torpedoes loaded in six 533 mm (21 in) tubes. When on patrol the Orca's SLBMs have no preset target but can quickly given targets by Daobac Self-Defense Forces Strategic Command (STRATCOM) through secure and constant radio communications including very low frequency systems.
Development
Daoan military planners have long envisioned to both have effective strategic & tactical first-strike and retaliatory attack options in a military conflict with Yunxia or other major powers in the Kayatman & Ozerosi region. The advent of ballistic missile technology provided nations with the ability to initiate mass-scale attacks against opponents through land, air and sea based platforms. However due to Daobac's limited budget it needed to prioritize in building up its conventional forces first before diverting funds towards a ballistic missile program. Advancements in rocketry and missile technologies through the Daoan Aeronautical Institute and eventually the Daobac Space Corporation, provided access to the Daobac Self-Defense Forces to explore and assess how to weaponize its domestically made missiles.
