HMAS Australia it is. Somewhere around 320 long by 42 wide I think Hull design and template test complete 12 inch barrel design complete grey capability confirmed tan capability under review Being built (perhaps entirely) of heretical materials, I doubt we'll see the same glorious detail as aboard FdG, but she'll still cut an attractive silhouette. I liked the shots of the FdG in progress too. Must get some film for my camera. If I'm really really lucky, I might get to keep Indescribable, and refit her weapons, bow and stern to c1910.
