Hmmm... very suspicious. :-)

Well what they are being used for isn't secret, that fact that they are being used for it is.

CVL problem cleared up.

I had some spare timeand with the Treaty Talks coming up...

Remind us again, then?

That's quite the fudge on your carrier; I wonder if the Australian figures match the earlier British records.

I am curious as to why the Australians feel a need to misreport their aircraft carrier, when it's nowhere near the limits anyway.

The UK was not misreporting her tonnage originally, as far as I know, so it would be .... difficult .... for Australia to do so at this point without a refit. Not to mention what's the point? Argus could easily be converted to a training carrier if desired, removing her tonnage totally from the books. And of course with Australia having announced plans to exit the Treaty in 1934, and probably no way to exceed their allocation for carriers before then, there's no point.

On the carrier I dont now what GB reported so I cant use that. I would use GBs reports fr my unmodifeid ships. Its probably just a carry over from fudging the other limits. Doesnt really matter since I'm going to onvert her into a training carrier.

Probably the best use of her to be made at this point.
