Well, good old Foch's the Brazilian flagship now, she [i] better[/i] be well used. Shame they just scrapped the Clémenceau, they could have gotten at least a good thirty years of her with a bit of work. Still, what's done is done, and the Marine seems to have plans to build a new carrier soon, so I'm excited to see where they go with that. And while we're still on the subject of new and old military hardware, apparently the Japanese are planning to have the first flight of their fifth generation ATD-X Shinshin this year. Very excited to see that, considering my bizarre obsession with Japanese military hardware. In other news, first IC post will be up tomorrow. Regarding sign ups, I'll be accepting up until 10 or so characters and I'll let them in between missions. EDIT: The French navy isn't foreign to me, it's my country's navy. The British one is another story though, all I've heard about it is what I've heard from this one YouTube game commentator who was in it for 22 years and has a metric tonne of stories. From what I can tell, the Royal Navy is a strange beast, at least in my opinion. My French opinion, so there's probably quite a bit of bias there. It's in my genes, I tell you!
