You wouldn't believe the fun I've had spellchecking this. My computer will be fluent in Gaelic and Welsh before I'm done with the escorts...

I was glad I was sitting down when I saw how many destroyers I have - I think I should probably scrap one or two. (Classes, that is.)

If it makes you feel better, I probably won't build more factories until '36-'37.

There again, maybe not. There's the magic number of 75 after 50...

So, have the planned Saint Vincent class ships been canceled or delayed? I'm not seeing them anywhere....

Cancelled in favour of a 'full' battleship in 1932.

Ah. Makes more than a little sense, and certainly that was the suggestion of some people. Germany will certainly be watching with interest to see what Great Britain is building.

Fairly equal in numbers to Atlantis except Britain hasn't built any type A DD's yet....

Atlantis:
DD: type A.............................16(0)0
DD: type B.............................136(0)0 (plus 6 inactive)

Probably wise to wait till 36/37 anyway, you'll need the materials for heaps of refits and rebuilds.

Don't make the Lion angry, you won't like him when he's angry...

Speaking of nationalistic animals, what is Germany's?
(sorry getting off topic here)

Some kind of eagle?

The Wolf?
