Part of the treasure haul I'm slowly liberating from a comic/game store 'round these parts (I only have so much allowance per week
) includes a stack of Challenge magazines, which I may already have in .pdf format, I'll have to check. But if, unlike in the case of AD&D where Dragon (and Dungeon) magazines were decidedly
not rules canon (until or unless they were made part of the rules by publication in an official rulebook vis
Unearthed Arcana), Challenge
is canon, then there might be a bolstering of US Naval strength noted in the magazine, with the 2
Forrest Sherman DDs in use being an example.
