Museum Ships? *g*

Walter, do you have your museum ships on your list?

As a matter of fact... I do...

Quoted

Battleships: 7(0)+2
Aircraft Carriers: 3(0)+2
Heavy Cruisers: 5(0)+4
Light Cruisers: 13(0)+0
Destroyers class 1: 0(0)+0

Just realized that I stuffed in the wrong section of the ship list.

What the old Huascar? She's a museum....though she is still armed. But if any ship is obsolete...its this 1865 ex-Peruvian ironclad.
