[quote=Milkman] )But I am in great favor of a big peace conference where we're gonna discuss disarmement and such :D [/quote] Not going to happen with a naval superpower of such strength. Considering 26 supercarriers effectively guarantees maritime supremacy and therefore a monopoly on international trade (it was stated that the nation itself is a major financial hub), the Malassakian Republic wields enough political and martial power to ignore disarmament talks without consequence. Gunboat diplomacy will, undoubtedly, come into full effect. Without some sort of WMD-class weapon, there's no deterrent in existence that can suppress them. [quote=AspenIvan] Though, to be fair, this is a Dieselpunk RP. The firepower of ANY military is prolly going to exceed realistic expectations. And for that matter, you could always be a land-based nation (even a landlocked one) to avoid being forced into naval confrontations.That being said, I still stand by my suggestion that if a navy simply does not have enough people to crew and supply its ships, then the number of vessels is more or less irrelevant. [/quote] He has enough. Current US Navy active duty personnel is approximately 325,000; the 600,000 active duty count Boerd has listed is more or less legitimate.
