Maelstrom Vortex Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 ooc: No IG navy = No CNRP navy.. sorry. You have no such facilities to support the navy you have purchased. Guess they'll have to decay and rot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raritan Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 OOC: I thought I already went through this 3 times. I bought them from a legitamate source and I have the tech to maintain them (in case you haven't read my factbook, they're very different from those in CN itself and are of the WWII and Vietnam War era).

HHAYD Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) ooc: No IG navy = No CNRP navy.. sorry. You have no such facilities to support the navy you have purchased. Guess they'll have to decay and rot. OOC: I agree. I don't have any naval ships myself. To support naval ships, you need the facilities (Dry docks and ship building harbors) to maintain the ships. If one of your naval ships was hit by a torpedo or the propellers broke, how are you going to repair the ship? However, I did RP using civilian ships as naval ships (for example, arming fishing and speed boats with machine guns and rocket launchers).

LeVentNoir Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 OOC: No IG navy = no RP navy. I don't care if you bought them from BR, your nation can't afford to maintain them, so they are all rusted up by now and unable to be used.

JerreyRough Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 OOC: Just stop trying to have a navy. No IG ships = no RP ships. No one will reconize the fleet when you RP wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raritan Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 OOC: Ships don't rust that quickly. Anyway, I'm drydocking them indefinately. ARDORIAN NAVY DRYDOCKED IN BERMUDA Bermuda (CANN) -- After much discussion within the Ministry of Defense, it was decided that the cost of maintaining the Ardorian Navy was no longer economical and had become a liability instead of an asset. All ships have been withdrawn from service and have been drydocked indefinately at the Bermuda Naval Base shared with the Bermuda Triangle Pact. The fate of the ships is currently unknown as they are being prepared for storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Andres Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 However, I did RP using civilian ships as naval ships (for example, arming fishing and speed boats with machine guns and rocket launchers). ooc: i usually agree with smaller nations having a navy that consists of small boats like this, as long as they understand that their mass of small yachts doesn't stand up to a real navy ship. They can use the RP for depth but not for strength. but thats just IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
