    Don't worry Joaquim, I can back you up with force H from Gib including HMS Ark Royal and HMS Biter. Combined Opps is something we must discuss privately. It could open up a whole world of new possibilities.

    I've always preferred old steady, profound and full things to new shinny things. The USS Saratoga is an excellent choice:

    Dear Neil. I assure you that I've tried to re-translate the Portuguese sentence you've so kindly wrote to English to understand it, but I could not. This is how I get this sentence:
    The majority is assured. With interest.

    Do you mean:

    Most of the attacks will be certainly against the Eagle. It will be interesting.

    That's how wars begin. You try to say one thing. The other guy understands something completely different.

    Only if you can get through the vast air cover supplied first Neil.
    Remember that they could not even sink the Illustrious when it was sitting in Valletta harbour.
