The new "War Melody" merchant

LukeFF · 03-17-08, 12:33 AM

Any pictures to share? Would be curious to see how close of a match it is.

It's already been shown the new British Old Tanker was also used by the Japanese, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other new British merchants also were used by Japan.

Thanks!

The last picture (esp. of Syoto Maru) shows them to be almost the same. Looks like Japan used a lot of freighters originally constructed in Great Britain.

Some, anyway.

Due to some unfortunate (but in the end, good) circumstances, all new merchants have SOME connection to Japanese shipping

for example, read this:
