The noise of reciprocating engines can't be good for hang-overs.

LOL... the noise of a tractor's diesel engine isn't good for a hangover. I can't imagine imagine what the poor Black Gang aboard Georgia must feel like!

Interesting to see the CSA getting involved in European matters.

I don't view it as the CSA 'getting involved in European matters'; I view it as matters in Europe beginning to involve the CSA. The CSA was requested to send a delegation to Scapa Flow to meet with several of the North Sea and Baltic States.

As for the presence of one of our newest battleships... well, our head diplomat gets seasick easily, so we provided him with the largest, most comfortable vessel upon which to sail.

yeah, that's it... seasick, gotta remember that...

Impressive, Scrapa Flow is almost turning into a mini-warship meet and greet. All those warships from so many nations in one spot without someone shooting at someone else. To be a motor boat tooling through the archorage at that moment.

It'll be like the RL Diamond Jubilee for Queen Victoria.

Too bad the DKB's ships are all occupied elsewhere...

Just send a 3rd Class... it's not like we're assembling a war fleet.

We're just having a merry little parade. ;)

And just what is your whole fleet doing that keeps the Kaiser from showing off his fine Fleet?

The nearest DKB vessels are in South America, in Grossfluess Schultzegebiet (Rio Grande do Sul), or in Ost Afrika, in Dar es Salam.

Mine are coming from Mobile, and some others are coming from the Pacific.

Surely the DKB can schedule a small cruiser to meet my ships at Key West, and then go with them to Scapa. :)

Well I suppose the Panzerkreuzer Freya of the Afrikaflotte can be spared. :)

That would sure be a wonderful sight! So many ships in one place... and being able to see some of our estranged bretheren.

NSS Pegasus can attend, she is already known worldwide for her world cruise several years back.
