So, Chrysler also made Neons as well? This is news to me but then again,
automobile manufacturers have to make some changes to their vehicles. Is
Holden a part of General Motors? If not, how long have they been making
their Suburban?
Richie and whomever came up with the different types of vehicle standard
thingy, that makes things even more complicated than it is now. To the
person who came up with the idea of making x LEGO studs in length to X LEGO
studs in length for a particular vessel, thank you for coming up with such a
brilliant idea. However, like a naval fleet, some of the same kinds of
craft might be the same size. Even though that my brother is in the Navy
(in the USA to those people from other countries who wish to know what
particular navy), I do not know the classifications well but I am sure that
we could find out from someone who does know on LUGNET.
I hope that we can hammer out something on LUGNET in the future pertaining
to vessel size and classification.
