The USN pre-dreadnought West Coast cruiser squadron has now been assembled, with one or two minor changes including USS Texas being put aside and the cruisers USS Atlanta, USS Boston, USS Nevada and USS Marblehead, added to the line up. I now need to texture the bases and undercoat the ships, ready for painting next week.
That is a solid US fleet for the crisis with Chile. The only notable exception is the USS San Francisco, which was the flagship of the US Pacific Squadron at the time. The USS Puritan is another ship likely to have been activated if the need had arisen. TD don't make models for either of them, but I'm considering kindly asking the proprietor to add them, what with their recent expansion into South American navies, and the USA being a likely adversary.
ReplyDeleteI'd be keen to see both added.
