Los Angeles & Long Beach Harbors, Los Angeles S.A.R. — CSDSF.
Acting President Lindsey Anne DeWinter stepped from her limousine and walked to the nearest pier on the waterfront and stood in awe at the sight that filled her vision, spanning her field of vision for at a mile and a half out the Californian Federation Naval fleet had finally arrived from the Freethinker Shipyards at Navarre. She scanned the ocean with a pair of field binoculars until her eyes caught the largest ship on the water with a light laugh she smiled "the Leviathans... or as we'll call them the California class Super-Battleships... they're completely perfect." She looked through her binoculars until she was able to count all forty of them. After taking a list of everything to make sure it was all there she walked back to her limousine and returned to the Provisional Government Headquarters.

The new additions to California's Naval Fleet and Ground Forces (I also bought 100,000 tanks... so :D) are thus as follows: (Pics and Stats will come later)

=Naval Forces=

Battleships:
+ 40 California (also known as Leviathan) class Battleships

=Ground Forces=

We congradulate our fellow Prussians on this upgrade.

I have noticed that the picture & statistics for the Lion class (now known as the Trident) class Frigates and the Island (now known as the Merck) class Patrol Craft are no longer available on Freethinker's FDI storefront and will thus go with the Ardent class Frigates instead of the Lion class... and instead of the Island class Patrol Craft, I will use the Coast Guard version of the 'Unicorn' Escort Corvette.

Also, I have noticed that I didn't post the picture for the San Andreas class Amphibious Assault Ships... so here goes with that too.

Revised List (Effective: 12.27.2005)

Amphib. Assault Ships:
+ 40 San Andreas (also known as Jericho) class Amphibious Assault Ships
¬ the San Andreas class Amphibious Assault Ship (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/The_Freethinkers/JerichoLPH.png)


Frigates:
+ 60 Trident (also known as Argent) class Frigates
+ 160 Catalian (also known as the Point Catilan) class Frigates
¬ the Trident class Frigate (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/The_Freethinkers/ArdentFF.gif)

¬ the Catalian class Frigate (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/The_Freethinkers/PointCatilanFF.gif)

Patrol Craft:
+ 40 Merck (also known as the Unicorn Coast Guard version) class Patrol Craft
¬ the Merck class Patrol Craft (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/The_Freethinkers/UnicornHCE.gif)

Now with that said... California will be taking the designs of some Freethinker-ian (is this the right term?) ships as well as those from the Rifts RP site and creating some newer more uniquely different, yet powerful vessels of our own design.
