Obviously the non-sailing combat is also awesome but the...

After a long debate and forced to go through a Government Shutdown (Made to sleep on the couch) the Secratary of Defense (the wife) has approved a limited budget for the building. We hope to lobby the Secratary soon (take her out to dinner) for more funding. But for now we have enough to begin the hull.
