Shall I quote Farragut?

Oh and I guess our warships are not combat proven?

... because they are...

Australi is now looking at some of the ships the Royal Navy is retiring to see if they could be a cheep buy. They are most likely to be looking at RFA Largs Bay, as it woul match in with what they would like the most.

The decommissioning of Largs Bay seems strange, she is almost brand new.

They can't do that! Now almost every British warship we have in stock DW are no longer relevant.

Good thing I added the Astute class in LWAMI.

No Ark Royal, no type 22 . . . . . . so what we're left to sink in the supposedly contemporary naval simulation with regard to the British surface combatants?

Astute is a submarine not a surface combatant!

This is depressing.. . .Sonalysts better come out with their new title and turn that placeholder to a future title.

The 23s and 42 are going to be around for quite a while longer.
