OOC: The only problem I see is two things:
A) You have to research nuclear weaponry you can't just start
with it.
B) You don't have a coast I don't think so you can't have a
navy.

OOC: Thanks for the feedback!
A. Removed Ballistic Missile submarine from fleet. I was unaware
of this necessity.
B. Enduranca has coastline along northern Washington, with
access to blue-water around Vancouver Island.

Also, you have to research nuclear fission and fusion in
general, so nuclear power is not available till then. On another
note, you also have to research ICBMs, IMRBMs, and SLBMs,
because you have no need for those until now :P

Enduranca is retiring the MH-65, replacing them with the more
versatile SH-60 Skyclaw.
The Lynx will be gradually retired as well.

With its recent land expansion, Enduranca has expanded all
branches of its military, but primarily the Navy. Kitsap Naval
Station, as well as two naval bases on DEN's shorelines- North
and South- have been opened. As well, several new ship types
were added to the fleet. Specifications will be in OP.
