By the way, I didn't saw the Hermione (or any other Concorde class) in the blog post about coming up ships. That's a pity, 'cause my guess is that Hermione's visit in the US during the summer (June 5th in Yorktown to July 17th in Lunenburg) will get a lot of media coverage and general attention.
I understand a partnership with the Hermione association could be unacceptable for a lot of reasons and that time is running short to secure plans (probably easily available through French Navy historical department though) and start modelling the ship, but even a short trailer (like Assetto Corsa's ones in a complete different game type) released during Hermione's trip and featuring the Hermione could get a lot of traction for the game.
