Sydney Times, November 20th

A spectacle greeted the people of Sydney today as not one, not two, but three battleships sailed into the harbor. The ex-Orange Battleships Natal, Transvaal, and Cape of Good Hope, officialy joined the NSN in a ceremony. These 3 warships were bought from the Orange Republic for a yet undetermined amount of money. They are reprtedly to be named New Amsterdam, Taiwan, and Queensland.

Cries of 'On to Brandenburg!' have resounded in the streets of Sydney after the arrival of these ships.

The battleship did not leave the harbor by November 12.

Hmm I was estimating +5 days since these news:

But I mistook November 5th for November 1st. ???

So would December 1st at New Amsterdam work better?

The voyage itself takes about a month from Durban to Sydney.

But I just noticed that the ships don't have the range for Durban - Sydney nonstop. So probably the only way to send them is via Tortugas. So their destination would be New Amsterdam, say December 10th?

Thrawn would like fresh ships to intern then use against the Swiss when they go to war.

Ahoj!
Seems I'm not the only confused at to the nationality of these ships during the transit ...
