With the net at your fingertips (and forums) you don't need to watch soap operas anymore ...

To pick a thought from Bellman (and thus taking this thread a bit OT) ... The integration of DW into a Virtual Fleet is quite possible and can work, that however demands some sacrifices from the existing structures. I experienced this in the USVN where the initial notion was similar to the Seawolves to displace the playable plattforms amongst the current departments, means NAVAIR, SUBFOR, SURFOR. Fortunatly this was seen as futile (after a lot of lobbying) and thus one new Department (7th Fleet) was created to be the homeport for Dangerous Waters. There were multiple Squadrons for the various Units to resemble a Fleet structure, but basically it was one "Division" under a single Commander.

Why I'm talking in the past? Because 7th Fleet was not to long ago disbanded, reason for that mostly lack of people to play. Still the concept was sound (as can be seen at the new Fleet) it just lacked the necessary number of players to make it work and some energetic leaders to hold it together.
