Pre-WC1 ships?

It should be noted that, unlike European Navies, the first ship in a class to be authorized by the US Congress is the class leader (class name ship), regardless of the order in which it is laid down, launched or commissioned. For example, contrary to many European texts, USS Colorado BB-45 (commissioned 30 August 1923) is the class leader under USN designation standards, not USS Maryland BB-46 (commissioned 21 July 1921). These battleships are thus properly designated as being "USS Colorado BB-45 Class."

My next project (er..."activity") will be tracing the origins of the names of the capships and fighters in WC. As soon as I make time for it... :)

BTW, does anyone have a picture of the Battlewagons or Concordia from the movie\AS? I'd really like to make a LDRAW model of them, except I'm in the dark as to what they look like.

"Battlewagon" is just c00lspeak for *battleship*. It's not a class, and people don't need to treat it like it is.
 
Re: Gagarin; If the idea of people talking about things offends you so much, why are you here? Don't worry, I've made the descision of whether to reply to this post *easy*.

Re: Concordia; I can grab some shots from the DVD and handbook later...
 
The movie DVD, I assume.

I never liked the term 'battlewagon'. The wagon bit always sticks an image of a rickety wooden cart that horses pull in my mind.
