Pickrell, Randy A. I'll leave the stats to your best judgement.

Sir... I am confused. I shall let LtJg Knucklehead ask...

Yorktown/Enterprise?

Lexington commisioned Dec '27. Saratoga commisioned Nov '27.
Ranger commisioned June '34. Yorktown & Enterprise commisioned 1936.

The Ranger, Yorktown, Enterprise all fall outside the timeframe of the scenarios as outlined in your The Official War Plan Orange FAQ thread, right?

Did you misspeak, and mean Lex/Sara?

In the 1920s, War Plan Orange designers decided that should war break out, cargo ships, liners, or even colliers would be converted to aircraft carriers. A class of two US carriers arrive in the waay late 1920's to represent this. However, I kept the names the same as in the lineage, i.e. Since Langley is already built, and the names Lexington, Saratoga, and Ranger are assigned to battle cruisers, the next names in the series are Yorktown and Enterprise.

They are capable of operating with the battle line (unlike the 15 knot Langley), but only carry 22 planes (as opposed to Langley's 34).

To represent Japan's plans along the same lines, they receive 2 additional Hosho's in the late '20s as well.

This class of carrier is the only purely hypothetical class in War Plan Orange, although based on design studies undertook at the time.

*sigh* .. i guess getting reassigned to any of the QE class BB's would be out of the question.. i'd love seeing myself on the bridge of HMS Valiant, with my newfound love for the royal navy and all.

Just read the thread regarding ships commanders names and was disappointed to see Gowans, R.J. was no longer in command of HMS VALIANT. I had asked for this ship some months back and was told OK ship had been allocated.
Can you confirm Gowans R.J. still has HMS VALIANT.
Cheers RJG.

If she is available I would like her.

Status: offline 		She is in the OOB, but doesn't appear in any of the scenarios.

What I will do though is add your name in to the OOB in the first patch (trying to put the gold candidate together now), and then your name will be selectable. If we hit another bug I'll add it in with the fix, but I don't think we'll hit one before release.

Thankyou!
