How is it that i recieved this ship in Mar 44 when the battle that this ship is commerating will not happen for another 4 months.

Another question. What About battles that never occur? Wha I Play I never take Roi or Salamua or whatever. So do these carriers appear ( probably so) or do they just appear with new names. like the (battel of ) Akyab or Rangoon, or Lingayen

Justa thought

If my spellingg of grammar is off It s because I am, p*** drunk. Go d my sarge can drink mor than i thouht

Because St Lo was originally named as Midway, but got her name changed when the Midway class was designed/built.

Yeah. Named Midway on April 3rd, Commissioned October 23rd (Both 1943). Renamed St. Lo on September 15th, 1944, sunk October 25, 1944.

Lesson here: Being on a ship that was renamed IS Bad luck!
