Climbed up to the upper deck of the 747 and was warmly welcomed by two friendly male flight attendants. One of them asked me if I was connecting from somewhere. I told him I was still on Tokyo time, and he totally related and we had a good laugh. The Chief Purser, a lovely woman named Constance, came to welcome me aboard and was so proud of this First Class product and said she wanted me to be absolutely spoiled. This was going to be a good flight!
The latest from Prasad Heavy Industries, the Toblerone class battlecruiser is the next generation of naval warfare. This vessel takes the role of a stealth warship, with the firepower of a battleship. In short, we've built the single most powerful warship afloat.
Armament consists of 200 VLS systems scattered around the deck of the vessel. In addition, there are two 20in guns turrets, and a twin 16in turret located on the stern. The ship also contains sophisticated radar and electronic warfare systems, all housed in the state-of-the-art hull.
And it's named after chocolate.
