Air force or Navy

<< < (12/12)

Goldenglade:
Navy always covered land sea and space.... so i mean that's a thing but the navy has more aviators then the airforce.... which is the same awkward note that shows the army having more boats then the navy. either way i would say these are navy.

Charon:
Yeah, but the Army's only rockin' tugboats, recon ships, a log train and some landing craft. Not nearly as close a comparison to the Navy/Air Force debate here.

But again, unless every nation has some kind of standardized terminology, they're probably going to have their own weird words for it. There may not even be a precedent that they can remember to name it after.

HamsterIV:
The Airship fleet is the law enforcement arm of the Department of Transportation (DoT). The DoT is responsible for inter city infrastructure which, in this world without highways, is airships. The DoT funds itself by collecting taxes on intercity trade and maintaining airship docking stations. As we have seen, these airships can't land on their own. In fact the DoT forbids the construction of any airship without the pesky bottom fins to protect their monopoly on docking facilities. The airships that we fly in Guns of Icarus are out to enforce the DoT's will on a variety of issues ranging from tax evasion, illegal docking facilities, piracy, and smuggling.

Just like until 2003 the US Secret Service were agents of the Treasury department, so are we agents of a benign sounding yet ruthless bureaucracy.
