[The Rock Doctor]

I thought you'd already built a carrier?

[Jefgte]

I thought you'd already built a carrier?

I built 4 Seaplane Carriers in 1919.
=>  Land trials, recent advances in aviation, bombing, torpedoing, hunting, as well as the emergence of aircraft carriers in other countries, necessitate the building of experimental aircraft carriers for Byzantium.

=> This will cause increased Anti Aircraft guns on ships in the fleet in the next years.

I mean, the lack of speed is a big limiter.  But she's got the armor of ships twice her size.

I mean, the lack of speed is a big limiter.  But she's got the armor of ships twice her size.

She's a 3000 t gunboat, not a scout cruiser. The job is to work with other Colonial 24kts AGBs and BBs. She is able of repelling a cruiser or destroyers.

Heavier and more powerful but still for the same job.
