Just stupendous Lindsay.

The snot-wise approach to hull design has worked a treat, the turrets
(always my worry) are wonderful, and the detail around the superstructure is

I think another day in the sun for the HMS Valhalla and HMS Indescribable,

sure that Australia ever really had much in the way ships to threaten FdG,
but there has got to be away to restore security in the Pacific.  Actually,
maybe the best idea is to go back to one of the original British aircraft

My NLSO is already concerned about where the slips for this new ship will be
located in the house....
