Hello everyone! For a WW I challenge, I'll always come out of retirement. It's a complete redo of the ship's entry in the Thiariaverse thread; her particulars have been adapted to fit the new exterior. LT Urgharda http://shipbucket.com/wiki/images/4/4a/CA_Urgharda_1909.png Laid down in 1903 and 1904...

That's what I've got so far in terms of modern french parts. It's very incomplete and subject to revision at any time. As soon as it's complete, I'll also add text without anti-aliasing, promise.
