United Terra Fleet Improvement Initiative

The United Terra Fleet Improvement Initiative was a government sponsored initiative to upgrade the aging Fleet of the United Terra Navy. The Initiative was only 2% completed at the time of the Battle of Earth.

History
The brain child of Fleet Admiral James Sato. Sato planed to restore the Navy to its former prestige from its Earth-Gurval War days. Proposed in 2289, when Sato was a Rear Admiral, the Initiative was approved in 2300 and was slated for completion in 2325.

Details
The Initiative called for the the complete replacement or refit of all Naval Assets and the opening of a dedicated Naval Academy. In addition, the initiative planed to donate all mothballed starships to be donated to United Terra allies with around 1% remaining under United Terra control but be placed under the authority of the Army.
