HMAS Waterhen/HMAS Vidette - As much I would like to see the UK get a V&W type from the many that gave unheralded service, I can't see it happening with the many other choices in front of them so it's seems logical for Australia to get one and these two are good choices. Also better IMO than picking something that is relatively unknown or had a minor role in a backwater.
Australia was hard done by in the last deck I think and whether this was because of other minors/neutrals or even Canada getting three slots I don't know but I'd just thought I'd mention it!
"That's right son, join the navy. Get behind a bloody big gun and knock the hell out of somebody"
"We went out, got our arses kicked, then came back again"

I'll just point out that Australia has a lot more units in the game than Canada. Australia has been getting 2 units per deck till this last one

Fair point.
That actually surprises me, I though it would be the other way round or maybe level.
Though I tend to think these days with other card decks in mind as well so that muddies my waters slightly!

Canada fleet was almost entirely represnted by sackville though lol
Lol true! With another Patrol Bomber I'd honestly count Canada as complete. We used our units differently than others. A lot more utilitarian like the UK

Canso - Canadian built PBY Catalina - patrol bomber
Norway
