Bill, receipts talk louder because they're a hard dollars-and-cents-somebody-else-made-at-your-expense number. :) If I didn't have a full inbox I'd ask you to DM me your email and we could start discussing what ships might cluster together as 6-or-more-to-a-SKU "potential production groups"--I've long been chewing on this trying to develop usable slates for both the old Continental Navy (BHR, Thorn, Atalanta) and the proper USN (so far only Constitution).

Biggest thing that usually holds me back is I wanna see the blueprints before I take a position, and there are few of those plans that have survived. One would think commercial yards would have reused draughts more for similar building contracts...
