Oh boy, I am very close to welcoming USS Black to my port of horrors. I welcomed the blueprints for a boost to radar in anticipation of the arrival. Methinks it will be a couple more weeks of effort.

USS Black was delivered early this past Friday due to a random SC with some much needed resources to finish the purchase - I had expected to be ready to-day this Sunday. My Fletcher 21 pointer was re-spec'd and will command USS Black to victory. 

The First Lieutenant and the Bo'sun Chief were not impressed with the selection and approval of the PI day camouflage.

'You want to do what to the ship, sir?'

[Shakedown cruise to begin with Tier IX brawls coming soon.]

GZ! Looks a bit... sooty. No shore passes until you can say 'a clean ship is a happy ship'.

With regards to paint, the Bo'suns on my DD used to say, Once over dust; Twice over rust.

They also used to say, if you can't tie a knot - tie alot.

03-24-2024  14:50 Hours.
Upon completion of an in-game mission, I welcomed the VIII Mainz Doubloons, for a "3 day rental" period of time.
The Mainz arrived with Commander Konrad Giersch (zero skill points) as her Captain.

The Mainz is a really nice ship in Ops. She's usually at the top of results table, and hugely useful is training up TT captains.

Mostly, I was responding (with a post) because I'm temporarily out of emoji reactions for this 24-hour period.  🙂 

As for the Mainz, I've sailed her in a few games, today, one random and a couple of Co-op.
So far, she's interesting.  And I can see her resemblance to the Hipper in terms of sea-manners & maneuvering.
Currently I've assigned my most senior Commander A.L. Hipper as the Mainz's Captain.
My evaluations may not be strictly scientific, but I'm enjoying learning a new ship.  🙂

I've never looked up the details. This is, in effect, the German version of the Tallinn. It seems different from Hipper, Prinz Eugen and the Tallinn. The guns are not the 203's in twin turrets, but 150 mm's in triple turrets, so that's probably a major difference there. The Tallinn, then again, is also different with 180 mm guns in triple turrets.

A review: (says Mainz is a good ship.)
