yes will be interesting to see what the other 7 names are. I hope each of the home countries is represented. There is petitions for Plymouth. But it's tricky Northern Ireland has only 5 Cities Armagh, Belfast, Lisburn, Newry and Londonderry personally would like the rules bent a bit and HMS Antrim ...

Very cool! Don't know, however, if Ireland has the manpower or funding for SSK's though. If there was a NATO standard spending then the budget would be much more health. Though to be fair in the 80's/90's both the budget and population wouldn't be close to being able to sustain it. Ireland has no n...

Not sure I'd want to be out in one of them off NI given the mininium spec the Irish Navy has for those areas to be honest.

For the flag, I'd say if you are keeping the Red Cross it should be the St Patrick Saltire rather than one you have at the moment, or go with Harp on green which was the historical flag in use by Irish ships during the 18th and 19th century.

snip I think you could easily have a 15-20million population by 2014 (working on better numbers/GDP etc) Any ideas welcome, JSB I think I would have to disagree with the suggestion of 15-20 million.

Sounds good, but the big question is, where is Ireland supposed to get the money to pay for your AU Navy. Just as a real life point. New Zealand gifted the BC New Zealand to UK and had to take out loans to pay for it. Despite the ship being scrapped due to Washington Treaty, NZ did not actually cle...

I think the Juan Carlos class does have the capability to use the lower vehicle deck for additional storage capacity, though I don't know if that's full up helicopters.

I second loving the Irish getting full up jets instead of the PC-9's in the 00's, though I could just imagine the faces when the budget for the Air Corps comes in :shock: :shock: :D
