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.

(...) Heh. I forgot about that when I wrote this--Australia's only capital ship, NZ's only capital ship, millions of square miles of ocean, and *bump*. Fortunately, the design flaw had nothing to do with the side protection... (...) Or _Courageous_ (...)
