DCS Haruna = DCS Pride of Kurita?
« on: 19 November 2024, 01:08:34 »
The Kyushu class Frigate Haruna first appears in the Twilight of the clans series, where it appears to survive the conflict over Huntress intact and operational, but by Field Manual Updates, it doesn't appear among the Combine's WarShip fleet.

Much much later, a dark age era novel mentions the Kyusha class WarShip Pride of Kurita as being one of the early losses to the fortress. At the time, it seems to have been widely assumed that this was a typo and the Pride of Kurita was in fact a previously unmentioned Kyushu.

So was it ever stated what happened to the Haruna, and is it possible that the Pride of Kurita actually was the Haruna? Possibly renamed and recommissioned after the Jihad?

(or at the very least, was the Pride of Kurita a Kyushu class frigate in the first place?)
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.
