Oh, and if you saw my comments above there were some NATO ships Forrestal operated with on exercises and cruises. There's so many classes before we slimmed down to the Tico/Burke/OHP classes. Looks like Adams class DDG and Farragut class DLG/DDG were also in the mix. Looks like we also need at least some skins of the older Ticos if not some mods to possibly backdate some systems. At least from 88 and 91 cruises though looks like early Ticonderoga class were assigned such as Yorktown. Super excited for some older US Cruisers! I really wish there were some Virginia class models that weren't so expensive. I will continue working on the USS Bainbridge!! I've already put too much energy into it. I will be releasing the USS Bowen within the next hour. If i had that model i could easily add the Tomahawks to it.
