Hmm, I guess weaponry might be a pre-req then? For some reason the Air Blazers
chopper reminds me of the Coast Guard, even though there is another rescue
chopper set.
I've never seen the Patroit Jet, but it does answer one question for me: from
where did those 1x4 blue tiles with stars originate.

off... I was simply using battleship in a loose public vernacular to encompass
all "modern" surface combatants.
