This map was created by Pilot_51 (me). I originally got the idea while I was on a Midway server and someone suggested that somebody make a pure naval map, and sure enough I picked up the idea and started making it. The rest of the story as far as the progress of the map is basically told in the change logs. Unlike my Stunting Grounds map, I'm going with a simpler version system and I'm not giving it beta status. The versions are identified by the very straight-forward release numbers, which really helps eliminate any guesswork on my part as to what version to call it and any confusion for anyone else. | This map was created by Pilot_51 (me).

This map was created by Pilot_51 (me). I originally got the idea while I was on a Midway server and someone suggested that somebody make a pure naval map, and sure enough I picked up the idea and started making it. The rest of the story as far as the progress of the map is basically told in the change logs. Unlike my Stunting Grounds map, I'm going with a simpler version system and I'm not giving it beta status. The versions are identified by the very straight-forward release numbers, which really helps eliminate any guesswork on my part as to what version to call it and any confusion for anyone else.
