The US ROCHAMBEAU was a transport. DUNDERBERG was renamed ROCHAMBEAU when the French bought her.

Had we commissioned a ROCHAMBEAU as a combatant, or had she done seriously meritorious service as a transport, fine.OSCSSW wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 5:39 pmConcur Johnnie.Johnnie Lyle wrote: ↑Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:07 pmNegative there Ghost Rider.

Just go for von Stedingk then, at least he fought a naval battle with distinction. 
He was also recognized as a hero for his acts during the naval Battle of Grenada fought against Vice Admiral John Byron on 6 July 1779. For his feats in battle, von Stedingk was made a member of the Society of the Cincinnati by George Washington in 1783.[3]

DDG. Renaming INOUE and LUGER to VON STEDINGK and JOHN ERICSSON would work.Micael wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 6:43 pm Just go for von Stedingk then, at least he fought a naval battle with distinction.
