 Launch of HMAS Dash at the Dover Airworks Yard

HMAS Dash, the first in a new generation of airships, was officially launch today by his royal highness Prince Edward, uncle of our own Kaiser.

The new Tyrium lift vessel looks diminutive alongside HMAS Hector, a mere two year old vacuum hybrid lift ship.
HMAS Dash, while half the size, can carry twice as many guns and men as her recent predecessor, with the lift great enough to allow some armour plating. This new design has caused ripples in diplomatic circles, the United States in particular seems concerned, the Canada issue still unresolved.
