Actually, Ithekro told me the new Arcadia should be out by now. I even have some general specifications...

The main battery and vertical armor are quite good, the secondary battery is light in both numbers and size and the deck armor is fair for the size of the hull. Top speed's fine, range is good though the cruise speed's a bit slower than some. No torpedoes?

You heard from Ith? How's he doin'?

I've just not been able to get my creative side functioning too well this last year and especially the last six months. I've barely done anything in Navalism of late even. I'd even purchased a book on aircraft from the Chaco War to help my, but never finished it, nor managed to rekindle my own interest in Wesworld after the gigantic pause with no real activity.

Nice story, nice ship.
