O.K. so I am seeing one of these outside my window right now, though if you knew
where I live/work it wouldn't be the best hint...

Ok, that be a good one.
Now, granted this is not a picture of the real ship, but I would hope that my
modeling skills are such that you can guess the nation at least, and bonus for the
Class.

It is in fact an Omaha class light cruiser, the new addition to NF's US fleet. This
particular one is CL-7, USS Raleigh, struggling to stay afloat in the days immediately
after the Pearl Harbor raid. The capsized battleship Utah can be seen in the
background on the right.

The Nichols Brothers sign gives it away. That's FSF-1, the Seafighter. It's a high-
speed helicopter carrier designed for the US Navy for modular use. It's mission bays
can be swapped out for recon, troop transport, minelaying, ASW, and anything else
they want to throw money at. It can operate in really shallow water and it's
supposed to be pretty quiet.
