[Borys]

I remember Swamphen building this for Aragon-Navarra ... am I correct?

[maddox]

Yes, that is correct, we can easely assume that this ship is semi finished on a slip in the DKB.

[swamphen]

Actually this ship was completed and delivered in the fourth quarter of 1905.

[Borys]

Ahoj!
I always wanted to ask, but never quiet got 'round to it - who paid for the ship? Was it NPC Aragon-Navarra? Or was it a gift by the DKB to the monarchic community?'
Borys

[maddox]

The NPC monarchy payed for it. With a bonus.
The construction of thses ships was a way to slip in a bonus for Swamphens good storywriting.

[Borys]

Ahoj!
Thanks - curiosity appeased. Miketr will be happy, as he seems to have missed this ship.

Yes I didn't put the out put in my fleet section but its been part of my economics.  Thanks for the reminder.
