-$0.46 (Military) and 0.321 BP generated from last year's scrapping of Foresight class TBs

Don't forget to add Dairen to Armada Deletions.

(And the transfer might need to be done at Valpariso, not Easter Island, depending on how things develop.)

Edits:

Darien's transfer noted.

Audaz class battleships' scrapping is postponed to 1909: they'll spend 1908 in mothballs.
