The world needs a good injection molded flush deck destroyer, if you know what I mean and I think you do. Mr. White? .

I'd own a fleet of them. Or is it a flotilla?

Was flotilla a son of Godzilla?

Oh Bish, sorry guess what I posted wasn't too clear. The Alabama was built at Birkenhead, England  as the Enrica without many questions asked by Laird Shipyards. She sailed before Union agents could get her impounded for the Azores where she ended up armed, taking on a military crew, and then having her name changed to CSS Alabama. 

After the Trent Affair where a US Navy warship ran down, boarded, and illegally searched a British merchantman carrying Confederate ambassadors to Britain and France the Crown, Parliament as well as British public opinion was such I don't think anyone really cared to look under the rather flimsy cover story of the Enrica.   Several Confederate ships were built in British and French shipyards until the CSA started losing and Lincoln was able to put more diplomatic pressure to get them shut down. Interesting stuff!
