USS Newark to War Department, care of Secretary of the Navy: "Send more Chileans." Message ends
Why are you running?
Oh thats why
USA early tech tree is funky(1890-1912+/-). No BB 2/3, so far only Dreadnaght (USA) that became obsolete as of 1911 and only capital ship currently buildable is BC I. Where are US versions of improved DNs (II-IV)?
USS Detroit wants to be a Montana class battleship when she grows up…😁
Anyone else have problems where the campaign isn’t saving at all so when you exit the campaign or game you loose all your progress and have to start a new campaign again?
One of your large cruisers should be Enterprise, and the Super Battleship should be the Texas Class, cause it's big.
Man i watch your videos everyday and the more I watch, the more enjoyable they are. Keep it up!!!

Nevada Strikes Again
The USS Nevada, flagship of the Gibraltar Squadron, with her escort the heavy cruiser USS Tucson, encountered four Royal Navy ships off the point of the Brittany peninsula. In a sharp engagement, the Nevada utilized her twelve 14”/45 guns to demolish the destroyer HMS Meteor, the heavy cruiser HMS Hercules, and the light cruisers HMS Nottingham and HMS Canada. USN losses were 15 killed. Royal Navy losses are estimated to be over 2800 killed, wounded, or lost at sea.
A formal note of apology has been sent by the State Department to the Commonwealth of Canada regarding the sinking of their namesake ship.

Well, They don’t have the Luck of the Irish
The USS Boggs, destroyer of the Gibraltar Squadron, rendezvoused with two light cruisers of the Royal Belgium Navy of the Davenport class in the Irish Sea to conduct commerce raiding. There they encountered an escorted convoy of twelve transports protected by the light cruisers HMS Naiad and HMS Cardiff and the destroyer HMS Offa.
Miscommunications between the Belgium ships and the USS Boggs saw the Boggs attempt a flanking movement around the Royal Navy escorts to attempt to find and sink the transports but the two Belgium ships failing to move and distract the enemy. When the Belgium ships finally understood their orders they were not able to prevent the British from sinking the Boggs. 207 men were lost, but the Royal Belgium Navy was able to rescue 23 American Sailors. British sources admit their losses were 23 men.

Chilean Fleet Surprised at Easter Island
The USS Newark, six year old light cruiser of the Duluth class operating out of San Francisco to support the landings on Easter Island, discovered a massive fleet of Chilean ships bought from their ally the Russian Federation. Reportedly crewed by raw cadets, the Captain of the Newark decided the best course of action would be to contact the Fleet sent to operate in the South Pacific and then engage the enemy at range to get an idea of their capabilities while avoiding undo losses.
Maintaining a steady angled course away from the enemy ships so as to be able to utilize her total broadside of twelve 6”/60 guns, her crews achieved a remarkable 26% hit rate with the main battery. From records obtained from debris from the enemy flagship, it has been determined that the Newark rapidly destroyed six of the seven enemy destroyers present, the Zabiyaka, Kondor, Derzhy, Albatros, DD-1811, and Filin. These ships were so newly acquired that the Chilean name hadn’t even been able to rechristen them. Still operating at range, the Newark was able to destroy the enemy flagship, the CA-2696, and then the light cruiser Mikhail Kutusov, named after the hero of the 1812 Russian Campaign. With the enemy force reduced to two ships, the Newark then began to close on the enemy. The final destroyer, the Dobronovolets was sunk, and the CA-811 pursued and sunk.
The Chilean Navy lost over 47,000 tons of warships and an estimated 4900 sailors and officers. USN losses were 49 dead and 3 wounded.

Motor City Cruiser
The United States Navy has announced the construction of a new class of heavy cruisers, the Detroit class. They are armed with a main battery of four triple 10”/50 gun turrets in super firing pairs fore and aft, ten triple 4”/40 gun secondary turrets, and twenty four triple 1.6/45 gun mounts. Diesel engines provide 62,463 shaft horse power for a maximum speed of 28 knots and a cruising speed of 24.3 knots with a range of 23,700 nautical miles on a displacement of 19,795 tons fully loaded. Crew complement is 1696. Cost per ship is $108 million with a build time of 21 months and maintenance cost when in port of $2.7 million a month.
Ships of the class will be the USS Detroit, USS Milwaukee, USS Baltimore, USS Northampton, USS Memphis and USS Sacramento.
You could pick a state to name a class and name the ships of that class after cities in that state
Détroit looks awesome, did she come from the naval committee?
I love the fact that Nevada is the reason Canada no longer exists.
Not sure if you’d me one for ship nicknames, but I think Nework might should be called the Jersey Devil after that showing.
USS Tuscon ? Like Tuscon in Azirona ?
Ah yes you must really watch out for those dastardly and famous Easter Island terrorists they’ve become a real problem as of late.
I had the same colonial conquest event come up in my 1890 Spain campaign, after an initial 8 years of peace. Instant -99 or war with every other nation. the only nations I didn't go to war with were the ones I'd gotten to around +30 to keep them on side when I inevitably went after America, and they were the -99s. I think maybe that event might need a liiittle tuning.
