Love that pic.

If only HT has modeled that class. Oh well, Essex ain't bad ;). I'd love it if an IJN CV was modeled. It would have made things slightly less confusing during the last Snapshot when fleets began mixing.  :O

A friend of mine is a metal detector guy who deals with antiques and relics, recently came across a WW2 Marine Bomber Squadron picture collection. Shares it here:

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
