Legate of Mineta Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 A big mea culpa on this one, too: we missed that it was Admiral David J that had commissioned Senator Boise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked out emulous means to equal or rival something wonder what is going on between Orion and Nautilus Probably the fact that the Royal Navy used the name Nautilus (Greek for "sailor") as far back as 1762 for a number of sloops. There have been ships in the Royal Navy named after a certain hunter from Greek Mythology since 1787, so I'm sure from then until now their paths have crossed once or twice... Other than some really generic names like Ocean or Shark, there aren't too many Belles that have so many past-life ships of different navies to draw from. No wonder "Naughtly-lass" is such a loose cannon: if it's Tuesday, I must be a USN submarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Käpt'n Korky Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Orion: "We feast on Duty in the RN, you know." Gottverdammt! And I thought we'd starve them with the U-Boot patrols and mine laying operations..... zhis changes everyzhing! *hurries to the HQ* Spoiler Orion (again): Germany? The Nazis are making all kinds of exceptions for someone strident and blonde enough. [...] What is a good Nazi? Be blond like Hitler, fit like Goebbels, slim like Goering and chaste like Röhm.
