The Imperial Navy expands today after BAE shipyards completed the Imperiums first two heavy missile cruisers.
the HMS New London and HMS Tundra completed sea trials after spending three months in port due to the nuclear attacks.

With the trials finished, the two Imperium Class Battle Cruisers have begun their long trip to meet up with the armada currently sailing home from Alaska.
