Danube
How come we don't have Danube's any more? I get that the Hurons are supposed to replace them and they're not produced any more, but we don't have old models kicking about the place? They're not even that old at 30yrs. We still have Sydneys in service - these things stated life before 2300! We still have the type-8's which are as old as, if not older than the Danubes, so why has the runabout been singled out? - Chris 10:40, 29 March 2006 (EST)
- I honestly don't know, I like the Danube Class myself and plan to have them aboard the Ronny when we leave sol, so I think they should be listed here still.
