At long last, this is here. I'm really getting worried about my destroyers: I'm not sure that they're legal. If, when I sort it out, they aren't, you'll either see a crash in the worldwide price of old destroyers, or a very big sinkex. VERY big.

Say, weren't we having a discussion about destroying canals? There's another use for all those old destroyers.

Yes, I have some yards working on obscene numbers of ships during the quarter, whilst others are idle. I've been using the assumption that Armstrong and Beardmore do most of the newbuilds, with Admiralty yards only being used to absorb overflow and for constructing larger ships - the latter because that's where my Type 5 slips are - whilst drydocks are reserved for repair work. You can assume that, with a 450 ship navy, there's usually something in for a bottom clean or something.
