Rest in Peace

True, but keep in mind some believe the American delegates were pushing harder than what they actually wanted. There was likely some leeway. See Dr Alexander Clarke's video on an Equitable Washington Naval Treaty and similar videos.

I know there was supposed British fears of the opposition to the family compact and the clique being too American. I wonder if instead, those advocating for responsible government point out the parallels between the Family Compact and the political families and the Southern slavers in the...

Assuming a more expansive Canada, and improved focus on the West, I wonder if a bigger economy, and other factors would lead to an earlier larger Navy. Certainly the infrastructure was around or could be built. Maybe with a bigger population, industry, and earlier development of national...

I presume that is why the Sea Sparrow is going strong and turned into the ESSM, as the main disadvantages of SARH (you must keep the target illuminated) doesn't matter as much for warships.

I was thinking Seattle. I know it might be complicated for Downtown, but I feel like ICTS might have been a viable alternative instead of Link LRT. If Halifax had a larger population, maybe it might have worked, although considering it doesn't even have LRT right now is a problem. I know...

For Lougheed, with development earlier than OTL, I'm guessing it's over where the old Sears Warehouse and that triangle south of Lougheed Mall is. So it may be slightly shifted east from the OTL Lougheed Town Centre or it is a much larger hub. Brentwood could go either way, though...

@Bureaucromancer I've got alot of feedback, suggestions, and questions. Initial questions: How big is the Lougheed Station? Looks like 2-3 lines use it, assuming Millenium and the Lougheed/Evergreen Line share some tracks I think putting the gondola at Lougheed might be a tad overkill and...

Imagine if Seattle's Central Link used RT/Skytrain system instead. Would probably complicate the downtown stations, but still...

Hmmm....You know, imagine if a Hamilton RT got extended through St. Catherines all the way to Niagara Falls. Now before people say that it is way too long, it is roughly 50-60 km distance. The Kelena Jaya Line itself is 46.4 km, while Skytrain's Expo and Millenium lines combined are over 60...

IMO, Hiryuu might at best delay the US advances or inflict more losses. It still will not prevent the inevitable swarm of Essex class carriers and other outputs of the US Naval war machine. Nor does Hiryuus survival solve the issue of ever deceasing experience base among IJN pilots.

Maybe some attention is turned towards thermobaric weapons? Nowhere as powerful as nukes, but can still cause major devastation.

Perhaps this can be the less grim story we can get behind. A plucky underdog taking on the Soviets. I recommend perhaps the writing version of decompression. Take a break from writing about depressing matters, and write something that is fun and nice. My other comment is that TDOR was a...
