Today President Benicius III, alongside newly elected Chancellor Robertson, announced the Benician Royal Navy's plan to construct a new breed of Aircraft Carrier to gradually replace the current Augustan class vessels in service.

At 300,000 tons, a top speed of 31 knots with deck space for 110 Icarus-25's - the first Seneca Class Carrier, the BRN Hadrian will surpass all others in size, speed and firepower.

Mirroring the Hadrian, the BRN Commodus and BRN Nero will be expected months after the first carrier enters service. Over the next 15 years, the BRN shipyards at Benopolis, Germanicus and Marcellus will construct the order list of 32 Seneca Class carriers at a cost of 1.9 trillion sterlings - the greatest military undertaking in the history of Benicius.

...and now for a recap of today's election results...

Why thank you. Of course the stats here are not as advanced as some people do, but hey I am not a statastician.

Wargames sound fun.

I appreciate your governemnt will try to keep stats for this hidde as much as possible until launch, but any chance you could provide a little depth into the Icarus-25?

Dimmimar is impressed with the work of Benicius. Perhaps some technological exchange is in store.

God bless.
