Yes, the original designers of the Freemantle/River (the first of the 
BORON class) were Lee Lu Shipyards, of Beta Vaticorum. An old firm, 
owned jointly by a family who emigrated to Australia in the Goldrush of 
the 19th century, and another who came in as refugees when Singapore was

taken by the IC in the 21st.

There's branches in a number of places : Lee Lu (Luna), Lee Lu(Mars), 
Lee Lu(Beta Comenenses), Lee Lu(Wellington), Lee Lu(Wagga Wagga)...

They also have a branch in FCT.

Their company dining-room there is famous for serving Tex-Mex cuisine 
using Thai chillis, as well as traditional Cantonese, Spanish, 
Californian and Texan cuisine. The Spanish food is supposed to be the
best.

Prospective customers from the NAC rave about the Lee Lu (Dallas) meal, 
Tepas.

But seriously folks, it is true that the concept came from Lee Lu 
Shipyards, this has been published before.
