Cyclops - i think that's what it was called - Collier-type Cyclops - in the rec manual - seems new since GWX 2.0. It's about 10k, a long ship, with 7 pairs of masts. It's salient that way. Still, the T3s were the big payoff. If I had encoutered this brute convoy further out to sea/earlier in the patrol, I would have loved to hound it all the way and systematically reduce it to nothing in three or four assaults. A convoy of that size, you'd have to think that it's complete destruction would have a noticeable impact on the course of the war.

The gap I described between dominican and puerto rico is ripe with lone tankers too - i caught two or three single T2s or T3s, moving fast. Deck-gun bait. Bigtime.
