Hello. I am a greenhand in this game, and have just finished two 1900 games using US and France. I noticed that after each game when I succesfully retired at 1955 (personally I dont think anyone in real life can have a navy career lasting 55 years lol), it says my name is used to name a new carrier. So... is this just a kind of plot or story, and wont really affect anything in next game you use the same country? Otherwise, what will happen if I retire before 1920 in my first career, and start another game with the same country in 1920? Well, perhaps Im good at imagination  |

You can just name a carrier after yourself if you want. I would imagine it is just a nice bit of story to end your career though.

Well, perhaps Im good at imagination It's a flavour thing based on your reputation (prestige) at retirement. Classic Sid Meir games used to do this sort of thing, other games may have as well. |

You can get other ships based on your prestige, from destroyer to cruiser to battleship and (if you get sacked) a garbage scow  |

When I reach 1925 I usually name a capital ship after myself and pretend that Im someone else.

Hello. (personally I dont think anyone in real life can have a navy career lasting 55 years lol) Just reading your thread and this comment piqued my interest when thinking of John "Jackie" Fisher of Royal Navy fame. A quick Wikipedia later and I've concluded the following: Born in 1841 Fisher's career was a very long one initially covering 1854–1911 with a brief return at the start of WW1 (1914–1915) if I'm not mistaken that takes us to a total career length of in total that makes about 58-59 years!  |

If the concept of working till you die of old age is foreign to you, you're probably not a Millennial... Ha! Haha! Hahaha. *cries in the corner*
