Emperor John: "Construct modern frigates in our existing shipyards, concealing the true extent of our naval capabilities."

3. Speed: 25-30 knots

5. Electronics: State-of-the-art radar, sonar, and communication systems

_Concealment Strategy:_

1. Frigates publicly showcased as Maharlika's main naval force.
2. Summoned ships operate covertly, maintaining operational security.
3. Misinformation campaigns to downplay Maharlika's true naval capabilities.

_Regional Reactions:_

1. Everia: Seeks closer naval cooperation with Maharlika.
2. Vorgor: Suspects Maharlika's rapid modernization, but lacks concrete evidence.
3. Zorvath: Continues mysterious support for Maharlika's expansion.

Vorgorian Empire's ultimatum escalates tensions.

_Vorgorian Ultimatum:_

"To the Maharlikan Empire,

You insolent upstarts have overstepped your bounds. Your rapid military expansion is an affront to regional stability. We demand you:

1. Surrender all advanced weaponry and technology.
2. Dissolve your naval fleet.
3. Submit to Vorgorian oversight.
