You raise some good points, JSB; let me take a shot at addressing them. As to the Great War (our timeline’s WWI): Viewing the Channel Clash in context with the Great War as a whole, I look at it like I would if Japan had won the Battle of Midway; as a temporary strategic advantage which the Central ...

Thank you all for your welcomes and feedback. I would like, and eventually intend, to post this ship (and others from the same AU) on the Alternate Universe forum with additional information and histories.
