BTW, speaking of naval wang measuring contests, Yllendthyr is also supposed to have sizeable naval force.
Previously I planned to perhaps scale it back because air routes would take over their role as primary transport but with there being an underwater empire I just can't ignore my navy.
Granted, Yllendthr's naval concept is quite different compared to what most nations have.
For example my submarines are relatively small and cheap because Yllendthyr just doesn't feel these vehicles could be important for serious anti-warship warfare. Instead they're raiders and submarine hunters.
My navy in general prefers smaller and faster ships as well as giving as many of them as possible the capacity to launch aircraft.
