I'll have to hunt to find the current list... your ship however, is the HMS Vendetta, an Admiralty V class destroyer.
Thanks - sorry I seem to have caused you extra work

If any American BBs ( maybe the Arizona ) or CAs are still available, I'll take one.

The Langley is taken, but the hypothetical Yorktown and Enterprise are good.

Sir... I am confused. I shall let LtJg Knucklehead ask...
Yorktown/Enterprise?
Lexington commisioned Dec '27. Saratoga commisioned Nov '27.
Ranger commisioned June '34. Yorktown & Enterprise commisioned 1936.
The Ranger, Yorktown, Enterprise all fall outside the timeframe of the scenarios as outlined in your The Official War Plan Orange FAQ thread, right?
Did you misspeak, and mean Lex/Sara?
RE: Commanders - Players
Read - "Hypothetical".
In the 1920s, War Plan Orange designers decided that should war break out, cargo ships, liners, or even colliers would be converted to aircraft carriers. A class of two US carriers arrive in the waay late 1920's to represent this. However, I kept the names the same as in the lineage, i.e. Since Langley is already built, and the names Lexington, Saratoga, and Ranger are assigned to battle cruisers, the next names in the series are Yorktown and Enterprise.
They are capable of operating with the battle line (unlike the 15 knot Langley), but only carry 22 planes (as opposed to Langley's 34).
To represent Japan's plans along the same lines, they receive 2 additional Hosho's in the late '20s as well.
This class of carrier is the only purely hypothetical class in War Plan Orange, although based on design studies undertook at the time.
