UNK Back Story 1917 till 1919

January 1917 the Newest Royal Navy Battle Cruiser the HMS Hood was laid at the Portsmouth Dry Dock #3.  The HMS Hood named after Admiral, 1st Viscount Samuel Hood.  The HMS Hood is 875 feet long and displaces 40,000 tons; she carries some of the most modern and powerful 16" guns in the world.

July 1917 the HMS Nelson was laid today at the Portsmouth Dry Dock #4 next to her sister ship the HMS Hood.  Both Ships are expected to complete sometime in late 1921 or early 1922.   In addition HMS Victoria the newest Royal Navy Battle Ship armed similar to the Hood Class ships but stressing Armor over speed was laid at the newly upgraded Dry Dock in New York Harbor.  The Victoria Class Battle Ships are likely to be the backbone of a modernization effort to replace some of the Early UNK Dreadnaught class Battle Ships.

January 1918 the Royal Navy continues its port facilities and defensive upgrades for all ports in North America.  In addition Parliament under the direction of His Majesty' direction has appropriated funds to encourage immigration to new factories and industry along the Great Lakes Region of America.

Had this been know ahead of Richmond that the UNK was laying down 4x40000 ton vessels, I doubt Gran Columbia would have signed it....

The UNK is not laying down 4x40,000 Ton Vessels the Victoria Class Masses a Mere 35,000 Tons as 7 or more knots less spead means I can get more armor and the same guns on a smaller more economical hull....  :P
