ooc: I use a program to design my ships, so if this Ship was impossible to exist, it would have told me. The Remarks are generated by the program.

[Japan]

ooc: What program ? ;D

[Portugal]

"springstyle"

Portugal said:

"springstyle"

ooc: thank you I'll se wether I can find it...

edit:

found it thank you VERY much...

[Russia]

OOC: your program also told me some rl designs didnt work

[Indonesia]

Indonesia wishes to bring its navy to modern standards and wants to purchase some of these vessels. Namely, the Superior Class Destroyers.

[Portugal]

2 Million per vessel.

[Indonesia]

Expensiveness. I want 25.
