I'm personally happy with anything not French, but that's reserved for the other member in the household anyway.

I'm waiting for German fleets, but I don't know how long I'll stick with it before I defect to Russia.  :P

Hm,

personally prejudiced - obviously - Germans. Since we are likely talking pre-dreadnaughts - I would love to see something as beautiful as the old Ships of the Line of the Brandenburg Class battleships :)

After talking to Rob, he seems to favor the newer, post-dreadnought battlecruisers like Von der Tann - but maybe we can both have what we want?

I am definitely looking forward or the pre (or maybe post?) revolutionary Russian fleet.

Also, just putting it out there....what about a Canadian fleet?  I mean, I know we weren't really big on the seas, but hey...Billy Bishop?  We don't even need a whole fleet, we'll just take a single Destroyer!  No?  Ah well.

Quote
A long-running debate – whether dominions should provide support, personnel and finances to the Royal Sky Fleet towards their own protection, or whether the young dominions could shoulder the burden themselves – came to a head when the Naval Service Bill was introduced in the Canadian House of Commons in March 1909. The bill’s proponent, George Foster, capped a fiery debate with the conclusion that “while we are loving sons of Empire, we are no longer children; unlike some others, we embrace our heritage and wish to do all we can in joint service with our mother land.”

(Note dig at Aussies ...)

Because I've just recently changed my primary faction I took the chance to vote for them.  ;D

I'm really waiting for Russian and Japanese Fleets to come - it is obvious to me :)
 Also, it would be interesting to see Minor Power Fleets - but with different ship models (not just with other flags).
And may be little things as torpedoes, mines, etc.

I think you should add a couple of options to the poll ...

-  British
-  French

 >:D

What is the proposed set of Russian ship characteristics, anyway? I think they're the only Major Power that I'm in the dark about.

An interesting point is that their Berkuts owe more to the Cossack tradition than the naval one, which could have an effect on their look, construction and usage.  I imagine that fast ships with very little use of torpedoes would be the order of the day for the Type 1s. 

In fact, there may be more of a disconnect between the small and big ships in the Russian air fleet.

I certainly got your point Don, but then I'm pretty sarcastic by nature.  ;)

I'm a little late too. I voted German because I really want to see a flying Admiral Graf Spee.

Gib den Kriegsmarine mir!

Seriously, I want to see the German Leviathans bad, particularly the big ones.
