CapOnBOBS Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Today Retired Admiral Girard Beauchamp and Master Shipwright Jean Benoit walked through the ship and have deemed her fit for launch. Of course, this particular ship has had the Retired Admiral's special attention since the announcement that his eldest son, Hector Beauchamp would be promoted into command of the Belle. In response to the to the sinking of the Pride of Oleon off the cost of Terraversa last month, the Empire has asked the Beauchamp Shipyard to rush through the final stages of construction on her Sistership the Belle of Breshaun. Crew, Cannon, Stores, and a brave and proven Commander in the form of Hector are all on hand and initial loading began weeks ago in the completed sections of the craft. She will be combat ready on the morrow and a full compliment to His Majesty's Navy in a matter of days. Build from the design of the Pride of Oleon, this 7CL Ship of the Line has "exactly" the same capabilities as the old Pride of Olean boasted. Fair winds and Following Seas to the good crew.

Bodi Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Good to see the good ol' Pride of Oleon Belle afloat again, she looks absolutely superb. Quote
Elostirion Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Really clever idea and very well executed to take the bow with those clearly recognisable flags. Lovely waves in the water, by the way! Quote
