#1 General -> Admiral

Post by Dirk Broer »

I've been transferred from the Army to the Navy, being a Boinc Admiral now.
What are the criteria? How do I become Field marshal?

Corsair II was known as SLUF (Short Little Ugly Fellow). I am not short, nor little (just ugly).

But a SLUF was extremely competent at it's job and more importantly pilots loved it. I see Iowa and raise you.... Image
Ticonderoga-class cruiser. Of course good as they are not as good as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_45_destroyer
