Put together beginnings of home page at:
http://www.angelfire.com/va/basileus/index.html
The only thing up and running right now is the Jane's All the Galaxy's
Fighting Ships entries for the Nea Rhomaioi. Follow the links from the
word "Background". I hope to do the same things for my ground vehicle
designs and TO&Es, followed by much expansion on the background
material, then links collections--there are enough out there on the web
already for that to be low priority. Please let me know questions,
comments, or typos you notice.
BTW, a somewhat related question: I recalled some discussion of the
concept of a "True" Battlecruiser as meaning a battleship without armor
and a lot faster. So I built one. Unfortunately, I still wanted
something smaller than a battleship and bigger than a heavy cruiser. I
settled on the designation "Light Battleship", which I abbreviated BL
for Battleship, Light. Does anyone know a more historically-based term
I could use and an abbreviation thereof? I recall that the Germans
built small battleships which were dubbed "Pocket Battleships" but I
don't recall if that's an official designation.
