Now, now, remember the Yamato and the Nagato...
it sounds to me like you guys have totally failed to keep abreast of
state-of-the-art Japanese shipbuilding technology. Perhaps the fact that
those planets of theirs are still unknown to star-faring society in
general, being as they are wholly owned by private corporations... oh
rats, did I say something I shouldn't have? I mean, you guys are cleared
for this level of information, right? <don't get too excited - big  grin

Nathan Pettigrew, if you're around somewhere, would you drop me a line?
