Actually, the reason for choosing _Gloire_ is that it's the first ironclad. It
can't really use the fleur de lis, however, given that whole nasty 1789-1815
thing. I hadn't thought about incorporation. The other possibility was to
model a ship like the first one Alfred von Tirpitz served on in the
Franco-Prussian War, when the Prussian Navy was really nothing more than a
couple of little iron-hulled cruisers and some decrepit frigates.
