As the dangers of war come closer to our fleets, a need has arisen for a battleship. The one chosen is the USS Missouri (BB-63). The USS Missouri is an Iowa class battleship with 9 mark-7 16 inch guns in three turrets, two forward, one aft. It also has a number of other armament including 5 inch guns, 40mm bofors AA Guns, and 20mm AA guns.






Also to be added, but currently being modeled by yours truly, the USS North Carolina (BB-55), a north carolina class battleship. I am currently constructing this battleship is my 3D modeling program, sketchup by google.

intersting day...



found this while flying in the atlantian seaport in a modified version of the seaplane albatross. I landed about a mile away and called the HMS forester to investigate. the forester had a confrontation with the USS baltimore and won, the baltimore came out of the channel that led to the strange place. so after defeating the baltimore, the forester continued down the channel. there was obviously something they didnt want me to know about. I arrived at this. I unloaded the ranger and prepared to go in.

some guys screwing around. we incorporated these two types of ships into NFLA, a brig (yellow ship), and a couple baltimore clippers (gray ship). these guys were just having fun.

Day off for the fleet's crew






we have started a tradition at NFLA. we all lay our freighting ships to rest for a couple days and go out and watch the american cup on our yacht, the athena. we are considering moving closer to using windjammers and clippers in our fleet as cargo vessels due to the increasing cost of fuel.

Bulk carrier de ameland arrives in new haven near manhattan

the bulkcarrier de ameland has arrived from the other side of the continent with frozen crab and automobile parts. the de ameland is part refridgerated and part non-refridgerated. the tug from Derek's tugs and salvage named smit rotterdam muscled this one in all by herself. the smit rotterdam, at the time of construction was the largest and most powerful tug ever built, and is one of the most valuable tug any fleet could ask for.
