They've done a shitload of work on the Alliance in the last year, good thing they finished before the money got diverted to Scott's negatives or something.

However, they've changed the look a lot by closing all the holes, like the torpedo tubes.

Yes, it's something of an odd move, isn't it? It wouldn't surprise me if there was an obscure paragraph in an arms reduction treaty somewhere that's behind it.

It is a great tour, but the idea of cruising in it to the icy depths makes me glad I was in the infantry.

Dad served in the RN during the last unpleasantness and is thankful that he wasn't on subs. I imagine that people suited to that role are pretty few and far between.

I got the impression the revamped presentation concentrates on the human experience over the mechanical accomplishment. Here's what it was like for the boys who went to war in this metal thingy.
