Olly here, I've just been doing some further reading about the Olympic that Gary spoiled the other day. Thought I might as well put it up for us all to enjoy...
'The
Olympic Liner is one of the largest passenger ships ever created. Built
at the massive Proctor & Mercer Shipyards in Middlesbrough, in the
North East of Britannia, these impressive vessels have carried people
over the seas in style since 1861. Proctor & Mercer built and sold
over 30 of these majestic vessels around the world; every nation
clambering to own and operate their own fleet of luxury cruise liners.
One of the main selling points is the advanced technological design, and
claimed robustness of the ship's hull.'
'However,
the outbreak of world war saw many of the Olympic Liners refitted to fulfill a new role, that of a troop carrier. With its sleek lines and
pioneering keel design, the Olympic Class Troop Transport cuts through
the water at high speed, allowing it to efficiently deliver thousands of
troops to war zones around the globe. It is not uncommon to see these
giants of the sea being escorted by both a naval vanguard and fleet of
aerial support craft en route to war.'
