What about the French Big Boys? Netherlands? they had a Coastal defense ship didnt they? no DDs for the Netherlanders?
if we gave them a Hunt I, would that be unfair?
I cannot believe that the Fins aint got no proper Warships either... with so much coast? what about "Niobe"? was that not one of theirs?

The goal is to give each nation at least some sort of Naval Forces in the rooster, an A/B Class DD is better than no DD at all!

Hell even the Poles got some better Ships (V/W DDs in `39) than the Netherlands Navy!

what do you say?

I have a fairly complete list actually for just about every nation.
If you can find it locally
Richard Worths "Fleets of World War II" Da Capo press
is worth it and cheap these days. but getting harder to find.

it would be a good idea to add ships to the netherlands and stuff.
but isnt that more a question for the mod department?

In GWX 1.03 i've seen a Dutch DD docked once in Loch Ewe. Unfortunately at that time The Netherlands were still neutral though, so a no go....

I suppose they'll be there in GWX2 aswell but the fact that they are rare compared to some other countries seems historically pretty realistic to me.

Dutch Navy in action?

Looks like the guy on top of the bridge is still doing his job!

Who are you calling a no-naval force???? hummm?

We had the famous cod fishing sailling ship fleet called the "White Fleet", after the white sails of the ships. Sailling ships of 3 and 4 masts that sailled all together in a convoy, only with the power of the wind, travelling to the Newfoundland cod banks.

And if I know anything about creating ships to SH3 I would this fleet and added to the game to one see a neutral convoy of sailling ships leaving Portugal to Newfoundland.

Hi Everyone,
I seem to detect some sneering at European navies of WW2. Basically, if a country had a coastline it had a navy and some good ships. The Dutch had a respectable force but unfortunately got decimated in the Pacific under Admiral Karel Doorman, mainly due to the lack of a common language in the T.F.
A look at WWW.netherlandsnavy.nl will show what I mean. The Poles also had a useful navy, including submarines. The Spanish were 'neutral'????? so didn't come into the equation.
