Seems that alot of these ships are customized to their Admiral's fancy.
After all... The Brunhilt is like this white ship in a fleet of gray.
And Barbarosa seems like the only red ship in the fleet given to the red
headed adjunctant of that blond haired- no Admiral Lohengram. Maybe its
an obnoxious Imperial Empire status thing since Yang's ship is bigger than
all the rest but not much customized in design. After all... if it was
customized to his fancy, one would think that he'd hmmm... Yang isn't all
that fancy a guy huh? I guess Hyperbola reflects his modest disposition
with only its color to distinguish it from the New Republic fleet.
But point is still that normally, when one becomes admiral, he gets his
flag ship but its more of an assigned thing. Think Ill be on the Prince
of Wales or the Bismarck. Not, I think Ill have my own ship built. It
will be brown like the color of my fiance's eyes. Seems unusual that way
non?
Wonder what happened to Barbarosa after Kircheis passes away. Doubt that
Reinhard would have it repainted and given to someone else. Doubt that a
ship like that would just be placed in some museum somewhere. I know that
one ship no matter how impressive isn't all that significant in LOGH
logistics so maybe its just like a plane that was kept at home. Reinhard
was the power in the universe so I suppose he had war supplies to spare
after the civil war.
