In many ways, the emergence of these ten-thousand-ton ships saved the Bulan Kingdom and the Alliance Group.
Over a year after the war began, the Bulan Kingdom had lost almost half of its merchant fleet, and due to the threat of submarines, maritime shipping efficiency had plummeted by eighty percent.
Fearing greater losses, the Bulan Kingdom had even prohibited merchant ships from setting sail on their own at one point.
It was precisely at this critical juncture that the Newland Federation began constructing ten-thousand-ton class merchant ships.
These were the "Freedom Ships" with an average sailing speed of about 10 knots, and the "Victory Ships," which had enhanced power systems, capable of sailing over 15 knots on average.
After the Newland Federation entered the war, the construction of both types of these giant ten-thousand-ton ships accelerated rapidly.
At its peak, an average of three Freedom Ships were launched every day!
