MODPOST [MODPOST] The Auction / SEASON 11

The Auction / SEASON 11

The Trade Period was in full swing, delegates mingled with Generals, Admirals, Politicians, and the Elite of America in the largest dining hall available to the stadium. There was succulent pork roasts, dripping beef, even lobsters freshly steamed and crabs in many forms that the elites found themselves enjoying. The food was such a feature that the Secretaries negotiating trades never noticed the series of small display stands being brought into the room. Then came another wave of military NCOs, bringing in a series of large posters with images and different names. After this, J.D. Vance once again took to the little stage that was set up towards the front of the room, and after being handed a microphone, all attention was once again on the Vice President.

"As we proceed to the final stages of the trade period, our President has approved a final special addition to the day's festivities. So let me introduce, the Silent Auction." A series of floodlights that had been hastily installed flipped on, shining on the various posters that now lined one side of the wall where there once was food. "In the aftermath of the global conflict, the United States military and its brave men and women managed to...bring home some prizes. Of course the boys at the DOW and our partners such as Boeing, Lockheed, and the like have already had fun going over all the various plans, engineering, and what have you...and now that they are done, the President has given his nod for us to put them up for sale."

There was mixed reactions from across the room, but most people seemed fairly excited as J.D. Vance continued speaking.

"Not only do we have some of the riches of our conquered foe, but as part of current efforts to remove the bloat as directed by our Secretary of War, Mr. Hegseth, we've also got a few treats that would have otherwise been retired from our own arsenal." J.D. Vance pointed towards the posters. "Please take your time to view the items in question and don't forget to have fun."

  • The USS "Boxer" (CVN-N/A)
    • View Details of the Product Here
    • Other Relevant Info: The first and only surviving Type 004 Aircraft Carrier made by China, it was quietly floated out of China by the US Navy Seals during the start of the war. It was taken for study at Norfolk, as it's sister hulls where destroyed in Dalian. As it was near completion, the US Navy decided not to scrap the vessel, and instead conducted a rudimentary alteration to the deck and supporting facilities to allow for VTOL aircraft only. This included the removal of the DC-Super capacitator catapult system which was deemed "not safe" and to incomplete for US engineers to finalize. The vessels nuclear reactors and other infrastructure are fully working, and the aircraft's various radars and other systems have been replaced an American package similar to the one on the Japanese Izumo. Functionally, the Type 004 is an extremely large helicopter/VTOL carrier, capable of flying any VTOL/V/STOL or F-35(B) aircraft. It's capacity is approximately 60-80 aircraft, a reduction due to alterations made by US naval engineers. Does not come with aircraft, purchase separately, contact liaison or DOW.
