Chapter 812: The Meaning of Destruction

Arthur was extremely satisfied with the design of this battleship and personally named it the Doomsday Battleship.

The name represents not only the end of the era for large battleships like the Doomsday Battleship but also the end of the madness of constructing such large battleships.

Since only two Doomsday Battleships were to be built, Arthur, after agreeing to the construction plan, handed their supervision over to Thomas, the Minister of Defence.

What Arthur truly cared about, however, were the other warship designs on his desk, such as the Empire-class and Destruction-class aircraft carriers.

That being said, it's uncertain when World War II will break out, but it is definitely nearing.

The fleet modernization pace in Australasia is slow, which means that the current designs will remain mainstream in the early to middle stages of World War II.

Moreover, the lengthy construction time of warships is one of the important factors limiting fleet modernization.
