OK, in February they finally dropped the San Francisco on us. We know that the Richelieu is in the works. So, what else do the buzy beavers in Shanghai propose. Anything radically new or just a rumored late war San Francisco/ New Orleans class.

Not sure their next move is. I am sure they are taking notice of the other guys out there and what they are doing in 350.

I would actually like to see possibly some ships from the 1890's to WWI time frame. Also the other "gap" in ships are the Albany Class Cruisers and the CGN's. Also the Adams class DDG's.

Then there are also just endless choices for WWII ships. Hipper, Spree, Eugen, Rodney, Hood, Ajax, the Twins, Strasbourgh, Italian Ships, Etc....

Taymia released a Fletcher a while ago. Also Trumpter has the USS Sulivans, which is a late war Fletcher.
