Authors Notes - A Rebirth

(06-13-2004)

This was it! My first battleship. I cannot for the life of me remember what name I was going to give the Tempest when I finally got it. All I know is what name I did give it. Barbarossa.

Hence the name of this chronicle, if you have read the 'A Ship' chronicle earlier. You will remember the Rupture I describe replacing there was also called the Barbarossa. So this was the rebirth of that ship's spirit, only more powerfull this time to avenge the unjust loss of my last ship. I don't normally replace ships and use the same name as before. I like to name my ships different each time I get them. This was the one and only exception.
