Shrapnel #16 - Yay, WarShips! But questions!
« on: 27 April 2024, 08:21:14 »
Finally got ahold of Shrapnel Issue #16, and thank you so much for the attention paid to WarShips in this!  Definitely appreciate the deep cut that was Fred. :cool: That said, I have some questions.

Who exactly rechristened SLS Jupiter to Genghis Khan? Did the SLDF have an SLS Genghis Khan for a short time before her capture, or was that name bestowed by the Republic captors?

EDIT: Similarly, does the discussion on page 25 identify that the lost SLS Enigma is a Congress-class, or does her class remain unconfirmed?

The SLS Enigma is Congress-class ship. I wrote an entire ship profile for it back when BattleCorps was publishing them, and it was accepted, but it never saw the light of day. This was one way I could work the ship back in.
