Ok if the Italian navy will not be present[&:] how about the American Zepplins, Shenandoah, Macon, Akron and Los Angeles. I would prefer the Akron or Macon since they have aircraft as well.

I can just picture a TF full of posters from this BBS.

The TF commander would give a command and from every ship in the TF would get complaints and bytching and "Why cant I upgrade my ship ?' comments.

Beckman, R. R.

How about the cancelled USS Iowa BB-53 if she is in the game.

If she's not in the game, any US battleship will do.

Heyho, Tanker!

Sure! I'll make sure she has plenty of beer, junk food and fireworks on board. Still laugh when I remember passing through that "South of the Border" redneck park on the NC/SC border. Was talking to some kids who said it was not fair that fireworks were legal in SC and not in NC. Guess they lived in NC.[:D]

No worries. I'm a redneck, or so my friends say because I'm politically incorrect. Apparently the definition of redneck is different in such a poof town like Ottawa. I don't shoot squirrels, let alone eat them, but I like to think I'm one.

I'm going to grab a big can of Holsten Festbock now.

I don't think I'm going to go for a battleship, of course. I'd be Japanese, but my last name won't fit.

If you want to be a Japanese, even with your name, that is cool. But, if its the Albany you want, you can have her.

Funny thing, The Albany and her sister New Orleans were about the only non-US built ships to see service in that era. The were built in Britain for Spain, but purchased just before the Spanish American War, then re armed with US gun right before WWI. Good choice!
