Or, of course, admit that the Dutch are cheating. I'm certain the Indians would be happy to make a stink about that idea!

The Netherlands Does NOT cheat !
Amsterdam was home to the first stock market, and has been a major financial center for centuries. We find it quite common that outsiders simply don't understand our evolved accounting methods. 8p

I will post the revised "Z44 Enron " Class shortly.

Oh, I chalked up the difference between the 1917 "laid down" and the 1919-1920 dates as delayed construction.
