Without the aviation industry, you wouldn't even have this game!

It's just so frustrating that we cannot have all those NG aircraft that are sorely missed in this game. Maybe one day we might be given the green light to do so.

No equipment made by Northrop-Grumman or companies merged into NG (e.g., Ryan Aerospace, Newport News Shipbuilding).........USS Arizona, will ever get into the game.

USS Arizona was built at Brooklyn Navy Yard, not Newport News Shipbuilding. Design of the ship class was by the General Board of the USN. USS Pennsylvania, the other ship of the class was built at Newport News Shipbuilding to the General Boards design.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard is now owned by NG, hence any ship built there, ever, falls under NG's draconian ownership rights plan.

I don't think that's true. The yard closed for ship building in 1966. Ownership was transferred to New York City in 1967, and it now operates as a business park under the control of a local development corporation.

At no time was it owned and operated by NG.

In any case Brooklyn Navy Yard had no rights over the design of warships like USS Arizona and therefore would not have had any rights to transfer to a third party.

In any case USS Arizona is too old for any patent or trademark claims to still have any vestige of validity.
